Hhhmm, shit. I think I threw them away. To be fair, they would have not fit flush, and been stuck on the end of a round screw?

 

EDIT: Being an idiot. Found them and placed them on the outside edges, as they are thicker than the screw heads.

I've only ever used the stock multi-voltage PSU that comes as standard with the DE10 and have never had any issues. When I ordered my MT32-Pi recently I took the opportunity to get that PSU from the site you've linked to as the Pi & MT-32Pi are powered from the DE10 and was fearing the stock PSU wouldn't be enough to power everything I have connected. However, it worked fine with the stock PSU. The hardware I have connected is the i/o borard, USB hub (powered from the MiSTer) and several wireless dongles for keyboards, mice & pads plus the MT32-pi. I think the stock PSU will serve you just fine.

It's always nice to see new cores in development. I have no prior experience of the Wonderswan so it'll be fun exploring that library!

 

I'm fairly excited about what Jotego posted about a couple of days ago. In short, Jotego has been gifted a few arcade boards which ultimately could end up yielding 50-odd arcade games. R-Type & Raiden 2 are among them. Here's the tweet thread.

 

 

Also looking forward to the next iteration of Josh Bassett's Cave core.

This one might be a figment of my imagination, but I'm sure I saw someone mention Jotego & "Neo Geo Pocket Color" in the same sentence recently. What I thought I read was once Jotego has finished CPS2 he wanted to do "handheld system" before moving onto anything else. In typical fashion I can't remember where I saw this, and I'm even doubting I saw it all and instead it's wishful thinking on my part!


EDIT: This is what I think I had seen, my mind had swapped "small non-arcade system" for the NGPC. Scroll down the comments & you'll see a slightly "non-cryptic" response from Jotego whe the NGPC was mentioned!

Guys, just bought one of these. Works fine on my modern TV but just tried hooking it up to a CRT using the scart lead from my Spectrum Next and it’s not working correctly. Do I have to change any settings in an ini file or something or should Scart work straight away?

Whereabouts is he based? Got a link? Considering getting into Mister a little down the line, when finances allow.

Definitely making it more tempting to jump on the Mister train, when finances allow.

I'm not entirely sure if Puu, the original creator of the X68K core, has abandoned the core or not. But the good news is someone seems to have picked it up and is reworking it. Rysha the NES guru is involved so it will end up in a much more useable and highly polished state than it is in currently. It looks to have midi support implemented and I know from a previous test build that I tried that Jotego's JT51 sound core (YM2151) is working fine. This is looking & sounding better than any previous builds I've tried. Hopefully, this will be available to us all soon.

 

I guess the flip side of the coin is now that we have CPS1+2 just how much of the catalogue will still be of interest to the majority us (lots of shmups for me though!). Some nice Sega ports, Konami shooters, and Cho Ren Sha on a big screen!

More Sharp X68000 preview footage. I've previously tried Space Harrier and while it's one of the better working games on the core the resolution the original core put out made the game look a little squashed. This is the closest we're going to get to Sega's "super scaler" games on MiSTer for a while and I'm hoping that Super Hang On now works with this improved core, I could never get it to work with the previous builds of the core. Sounds good as well.

Hoping that we won't have to wait too long for this build to be released.

Music test upto 3:28, then gameplay.

Edit: @shiffy I w trying to run Alone in the Dark among others but the CD is not detected. 

 

 

I've got the updater but I can't get it to recognise the CDs or even find them. I've obviously done something very weird when setting it up. I've been having an occasional fiddle with it and think I may have missed out the mscdex file and the oak cdrom file. I'm not exactly sure where to put them or whether I need to reference them in the auto exec bat file. 

 

Starting again might be the best option. Luckily the ao486 + flynnsbit 300 hdd is on a separate sd card.

@jonnyalpha Sounds like you're more into the intricacies of the ao486 core than I am! I've just tested Alone In The Dark & C&C Red Alert without any issues. Might be best to start again, hopefully you'll still have the original 300 files.
