Nintendo 64

[weary palm]

I guess, I haven't tried it. We have the full source code for SM64 thanks to a decompilation project, so I bet it's fixed.

[zenith orchid]

yeah, the only thing I don't like is that it stretches the UI elements

it's a cool feature though

[weary palm]

Yeah, N64 can only do anamorphic widescreen.

I.e. stretching the pixels.

[zenith orchid]

Ah I see. It would be cool if the spacing of the UI elements could be adjusted without stretching them

[latent dagger]

What are the odds it's still available? Lol

[raw oriole]

They come in stock at Nintendo every few weeks

[sharp beacon]

on the European shop they are available continuously from mid-July

[lament escarp]

I really hope the stick range gets some kind of fix. Already went for the 8bitdo modkit and thats the only thing that bothers me.

[fallen sparrow]

@wanton sun wow, mario kart looks proper now 🤯
What great stuff to wake up too.

[opal quiver]

Yes good surprises 🙂

Still waiting my super Mario 64 mustache 🥳

[lament escarp]

Sm64 looks like baby mario without stache.

[opal quiver]

A short compare :

[daring meteor]

N64 has filtering, Mister doesn't, thatis it now

[opal quiver]

For sure

[fallen sparrow]

Nice

[fallen sparrow]

Is it okay, if I use this pick in a video?

[opal quiver]

Yes no problem my friend

[fallen sparrow]

Legend

[mild ether]

Vivid Dolls working?

[oblique remnant]

nope 🙂

[mild ether]

Hopefully next update.

[vagrant ivy]

yes its 100 % along with Quest 6 4

[mild ether]

Sweet, the two most important titles to grace the hardware.

[vagrant ivy]

I have a bridge to sell you

[vapid moat]

I vote Ultra Robert 64 my favorite person of the year

[zenith orchid]

I like using composite CRT filtering in the video processing menu, with bright scanlines, it looks a little more like the real thing

[vapid moat]

You fixed poor Lakitu @wanton sun 😢

[foggy stirrup]

that thing has a name ? 😛

[dawn pebble]

i am still encountering a weird bug on the analog stick: i can for example play mortal kombat trilogy. everything works fine. mario 64 i can't control at all. the more 3d is on screen, the lesser are the chances that my controller works. anybody else encountering this problem? (i am using 32m of ram on my mist'er, every other core works fine, controller is mapped correctly in mister main)

[oblique remnant]

Star Soldier is really playable maybe not too far away from perfect already?! have to compare it with the original...

[hollow rune]

Chameleon Twist looking great with transparency on the sprites

[zenith orchid]

I wonder if harvest moon is fixed

it should be copy mode

[hollow rune]

i will check

[hearty python]

32MB is less, cause there are 64MB Modules and iirc sdram is used for the game roms. @potent vigil

[dawn pebble]

i know. i am not trying to load 512 mbit games

games load fine as they should (everything up to 256 mbit), but controls are messed up for me on 3d games. thats so weird. like rampage and mortal kombat trilogy work flawless, mario 64 and mario kart i can press all the buttons and they work, but not the analog stick.

[hollow rune]

Looks less worse

Snowflake drawing pattern is gone but the colors are still wild

[zenith orchid]

the blacksmith looks okay 😄

[daring meteor]

Yeah I think this should stay like that until filtering

[hollow rune]

The old woman also looks close

[hollow rune]

Mayor is looking healthy

[vapid moat]

Crashes still but main area is now fixed

[hollow rune]

This game operates in a way unlike the others

[zenith orchid]

yeah glad to see some good news. if it's just a bug with copy mode, then the game should look really good when it's fixed.

[daring meteor]

What error do you have

[hollow rune]

me?

[daring meteor]

Yes

As in

[zenith orchid]

it's a very peculiar issue

[daring meteor]

Turn on the error thing in the menu

[hollow rune]

E0400

[daring meteor]

Huh

[hollow rune]

Does Robert have exception all throughout his code? Will it only return one error code?

[daring meteor]

It is able to return multiple

[zenith orchid]

I wonder if this bug only affects harvest moon

[wanton sun]

every bit in the error mask is one

[daring meteor]

If anyone sees black stuff and doesn't have the 8000s error it might be the same thing

[hollow rune]

Are there logs on the MiSTer?

[wanton sun]

no

at least not for that

[hollow rune]

so since I didn't have the overlay on, I never saw this, but Bomberman 64 makes the overlay bigger

[hollow pebble]

Hot damn Robert, you’re a machine! 😍

Looks great!

[hollow rune]

Mystical Ninja still can't get into gameplay
E8062

[ornate obsidian]

Is there any consensus which controller to get? Is the NSO one good?

[hasty kayak]

I am going to convert an original N64 controller with an 8bitdo BlueTooth kit.

[ornate obsidian]

I have a 2 port mayflash adapter through USB for original controllers, but haven't tried it yet

That sounds like a good option aswell

[little socket]

Latest build broke the accessibility/visibility border around the ball in ISSS64 :|

[hollow rune]

Wave Race 64 is more Wave 64 right now. But there are waves now

It's a kick in a glass

I thought yoshi;s story might be perfect until

[vapid moat]

Been using it so far, works quite nicely IMO

I hope someone does the lag test with it soon, need to know how good it is

[hollow rune]

Can the N64 just draw sprites forever? Is that why YS looks so weird?

[hearty oar]

it will just be that part of the framebuffer is expected to be cleared/have something else drawn on top of it

[hollow rune]

I find it wild that they all still animate but the performance still kept rocking. Yoshi might be one of the first full speed games when it works

[daring meteor]

Yeah every time you see E8000 and black/featureless boxes its 2 Pass mode not working

[dreamy ridge]

holy SHNIKES, ANOTHER build?!?

what a legend

[daring meteor]

Robert Speedrunning Mario Kart 64

[ornate obsidian]

Nice to hear someone else has been using it and they feel it works fine!

[hollow rune]

Why does DK64 say there is no Expansion Pak but Majora's Mask just plays?

[fair stump]

The player models are all cleaned up in nfl quarterback club 98 now

[cerulean elk]

I think he’s just trolling us now

[daring meteor]

Robert has the core all done

He's just playing pretend

[hollow rune]

Madden Football 64 has silhouette players, but the speed is pretty great

[weary palm]

Because they use two different methods for detecting the amount of available RDRAM.

[daring meteor]

I wonder what Texture format it uses that fails the core

[compact depot]

CPU data cache wen?

[wanton sun]

poor banjo 😦

[fair stump]

Looking good

[nimble needle]

He looks like Randy Marsh came on his back

[weary palm]

What happened to him?

[wanton sun]

he is missing some of his textures....might has to seek them like puzzle pieces?

[hollow rune]

It does. Just doesn't make it to the game

[fair stump]

We have visible characters

[wanton sun]

choco is slightly pale, but otherwise it's not bad

[little socket]

How accurate is the fps display?

[fair stump]

WCW Nitro graphics don't look crazy broken anymore. Though it did freeze for me after a couple seconds

[wanton sun]

it shows the framebuffer address switches, so should be accurate

[daring meteor]

Only noon and you're already with stuff mostly working?
Robert does it again

[wanton sun]

very naive implementation of 2 pass and no dual-texturing, but for that, not bad. I mean, it's only like 100 lines of code

[cerulean elk]

That’s…one way to put it haha

[daring meteor]

Wait, wasn't the point of 2 pass dual texturing?

[trim seal]

Killer Instinct Gold - you can see one half of the title screen stretched across, same with character select, which is looking and animating ok (apart from being a stretched portion of the screen) - then you choose a character and it all goes to heck.

[wanton sun]

can also be used for e.g. fog

starfox looks good

[remote hatch]

mmm perfect

[daring meteor]

Oh right, it's dual texturing, fog and mipmaps

[silent marten]

this in current build or no?

[wanton sun]

not the one uploaded

still need to commit, but first, starfox 😆

[cerulean elk]

Lol so are you gonna let me get to 4 pm today or not?

[vagrant ivy]

its in the tier 99 Patreon Secret build server !

[cerulean elk]

Ok hit that up by around 9 am CST then? 🤣🤣🤣

[fair stump]

Time to pause game checking then 😆

[vagrant ivy]

wierd place this secret server 3DO, Dreamcast and PS 2 whats all this junk

[wanton sun]

not familiar with US timezones...so i just assume i still have time 🙂

[daring meteor]

16:00, so plenty of time haha

[cerulean elk]

Bout 4 PM German Standard time lol

And I know that’s not what it’s called. But it’s funny

It’s only 6:30 am here. Dog decided she HAD to go outside at 5:45 am

[wanton sun]

i see, wasn't expecting you so early, thought it's only 5 hours behind or so

[marble cargo]

I thought Pokémon Stadium 2 was going to be playable, but it immediately crashes as soon as a battle begins.

[stoic parcel]

The updates are constant on this one :)

Guess ill wait for the next build to throw my 2D games at again

[daring meteor]

We really need a TLB checker haha

So we would know if there's any point to this or not

What emulator do I break

[marble cargo]

Pokémon Stadium is actually worse. Can't even select Pokémon without it freezing.

Don't know about the Japan only Pocket Monsters Stadium

[desert crow]

Robert's doing barrel rolls while everyone is dreaming about n64 games

[spring niche]

I see, Robert beeing Robert again. 😍 Got PSX Beta Vibes....

[cerulean elk]

7 per google. I thought you were six ahead. Clearly neither of us know our time zones lol.

[stoic parcel]

Checking if xenocrisis will run is the litmus test, something has to hold me over while I wait for the zx spectrum port

[vagrant ivy]

6 is uk

[lament escarp]

Like Chicago standard time

[daring meteor]

Wait Project 64 can just do it

Hub

Huh

[cerulean elk]

We are on BST; bullet standard time

If you watch the news at least I think 😂

[mild ether]

Chiraq time.

[cerulean elk]

The city isn’t dangerous. I’ve also seen three murders in 10 years…but it wasn’t me!

Well the aftermaths

[vagrant ivy]

thats just in your house

[lament escarp]

In the same time it would take to make the checker Robert could probably make the real tlb. Just kidding, I'm exaggerating. But not by much. 😄

[stoic parcel]

3S local tourneys are serious business

[daring meteor]

What I meant was for someone to edit an emulator and disable TLB

But pj64 has that already apperently

[mild ether]

It's a bit over sold on the shooting since it's really only a part of Chicago. I don't exactly feel like I'm in danger walking around in Logan Square at 2am.

[trim seal]

MK Trilogy - story text is missing letters, and the attract mode with character bios locks up evntually

[mild ether]

It's the parts where I go for work that I feel like I probably shouldn't come to a complete stop in my vehicle. 😂

[silent marten]

OMG the current test build makes MK64 look amazing

[stoic parcel]

If we'd only adopted the PAL standard we wouldn't have all this violent crime

50hz with its calming peaceful frequency

[mild ether]

That and we had to deal with composite video all those years.

[silent marten]

Even moo moo farm is not black anymore

[cerulean elk]

Oh are you in Chicago?

[mild ether]

No, I live in Wisconsin but I come down for work and have just been there a lot.

[cerulean elk]

Close enough

[compact depot]

Anyone from Philly area?

[lament escarp]

Trust me it's not worth it. I was born in it, molded by it. And I'd rather have someone shoot me in the face than having to play pancaked face ffx ever again.

[stoic parcel]

But the SCART RGBz!

[dark orchid]

In my tests, games with the .z64 extension are more compatible (they show something on the screen), while the other extensions remain with a black screen. None of the games without the z.64 extension show activity. Is there any converter so that the n.64 or v.64 extension is converted to z.64? Is there any specific configuration procedure for the core to work and that I missed?

[wanton sun]

if you have the latest mister unstable, the other files should also work fine

[brisk drum]

And there goes my weekend

I am absolutely tickled

[pallid falcon]

Paperboy works (yay?)

[orchid nimbus]

Where you at?

[cerulean elk]

Potato World

[weary palm]

Downloaded!

[silent marten]

thank you Robert 🙂

[worn delta]

Damn Robert, I don't look at this chat for a bit and there more builds than I have had not meals! 🙂

[stoic parcel]

And another one just dropped XD

[worn delta]

Incredible progress

[weary palm]

Robert the Awesome

[pallid falcon]

Lol, so it did. Time to update again.

[dreamy ridge]

does anyone know of a good youtube video explaining the scanline/shadowmask features for mister? whenever i try to find a good setup i get lost in a maze of submenus and it never looks right

[hearty python]

If 2pas is full done today, what modes are missing then? Lost the overview 😂

[weary palm]

I usually don't use scanlines and such, but aren't there a few presets?

[wanton sun]

2 pass is not complete

[silent marten]

Turok is playable 😮

[hearty python]

Yes I know 😁 but day is not over yet

[cerulean elk]

(Checks watch…rubs palms together Mr Burns style)….excellent

[dreamy ridge]

i'm surprised awbacon doesn't have a scanlines-shadowmask deepdive on his channel yet 😆

[wanton sun]

now we finally know what majoras mask wanted to show us:

[pallid falcon]

WinSCP has never been loaded so many times on my PC in the last few days

[silent marten]

😮

[brisk drum]

That picture will haunt my dreams

[worn delta]

Oh,, what is 8920?

[wanton sun]

rsp crashes repeatedly, so it's extremly slow

[silent marten]

Ohhh nooooo, Superman 64 is playable....

Hehe

[worn delta]

How's our boy Brian looking?

[silent marten]

Let me check

[fair stump]

Not quite an answer but I either use a preset or go on mister walrus fpga youtube channel and pick a system and use the settings listed in the description of the video

[cerulean elk]

Core ruined

[orchid nimbus]

Lol

[weary palm]

Diddy Kong racing works kinda?

[brisk drum]

Yo bacon we need a daikatana deep dive !

[silent marten]

Still hangs before menu

[dreamy ridge]

that's exactly the kind of advice i was hoping for, thanks!

[brisk drum]

My advice is to find a crt for that Og look

[dreamy ridge]

do you have a model you prefer?

[brisk drum]

Toshiba

[hearty python]

So Zelda needs the cache ?

[brisk drum]

Easy to find and they are a great mid range starter set

[wanton sun]

no, zelda needs a RSP bugfix (but cache would help for sure once it's fixed)

[compact depot]

OoT loads now?

[hearty python]

Looks good 👍

[daring meteor]

Is this the last of the big graphics updates?

[weary palm]

Just got my second balloon 🙂

[hearty python]

I am so exited, soon I can play my first n64 game. N64 is new for me, never had one.

[thorny marten]

Nuclear strike is looking good now

[pallid falcon]

Star Soldier now has speech and is playable (bullets were messed up yesterday)

[stoic parcel]

Interesting, wont load for me. I wonder if my patched ROMs are the issue with the autodetect bit

[weary palm]

Doom 64 shows signs of life 🙂

[onyx minnow]

yeah lots of stuff works now, duke nukem 64 works

[thick terrace]

That's really creepy to see at 6am...

[thorny marten]

More the paper mario title screen is visable now still messes up after you enter a name

[fair stump]

Animal crossing loads but is stuttery and broken

[daring meteor]

Wave Race looks beutiful :3

[wanton sun]

rayman 2 kind of works, but the text is broken and the framerate horrible. don't play it, haha

[weary palm]

🙂

[thorny marten]

Turok is looking better

[cerulean elk]

He turned it into a desert level

[native mesa]

Good morning!

[dreamy ridge]

when i played that the other day bob-omb battlefield was entirely pitch black so that's a wild improvement 🙂

[weary palm]

At least it's not pure darkness anymore

[onyx minnow]

i've noticed sometimes i need to load a rom twice for it to work, might just be my mister not sure

[native mesa]

Robert you son of a ... You've done it again

[onyx minnow]

if it boots to a black screen

[weary palm]

Text is broken in DKR also

[remote hatch]

yeah Wave Race 64 looks very very nice now ❤️

[wanton sun]

snowboard kids seems to work

[foggy stirrup]

Starfox looking better

[hollow rune]

It does

[weary palm]

Thank you thank you thank you

[cerulean elk]

An underrated and awesome game

[pallid falcon]

I agree

[dreamy ridge]

booya! i never got to play waverace...UNTIL NOW

[thorny marten]

Superman got worse

[zinc dew]

REMINDER: Please update the N64 testing spreadsheet with your findings as you test games with today’s latest build.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H4KYg0gsOWGayioXKSETtlM7d7g3Tk4w0QXqtXvugG8/edit?usp=drivesdk

[native mesa]

Kryptonite fog

Hey I'm gonna grab coffee and a pop tart then I'll dive into testing this am

[pallid falcon]

I'm not using the Everdrive set, but can update if the game works?

[hollow rune]

How do I get permission to edit? Would love to contribute

[thick terrace]

holy crap! diddy kong racing is cool. I won a race as conker

[hearty python]

Very different framerates. Some are 30 other under 10, hard to believe.

[zinc dew]

@worn delta

@cerulean elk + @fallen sparrow new test build - #test-builds message

[weary palm]

I don't have permission to edit.

[dark orchid]

How can I do that? (Como fazer isso?)

[cerulean elk]

haha oh we know

[worn delta]

Anyone who wants to test and update the sheet just request permission and I will approve 🙂

[cerulean elk]

Robert stealing my Saturday! (nah...Ive got a full eight hours to put in today on shit)

[native mesa]

I woke up and test builds was the first thing I checked

[zinc dew]

Sorry just woke up. It’s become ritual for me to open my eyes and check this discord channel lol.

[cerulean elk]

technically my wife is working long so I could do a full 12 but probably not

[marble cargo]

Oh boy another build, time to boot up Mischief Makers again as a form of copium.

[native mesa]

God bless time zones

[onyx minnow]

i just requested edit access 🙂

[wanton sun]

pick it up from here: #unstable-nightlies message

[paper orchid]

Me but Sin & Punishment

[cerulean elk]

oh dont worry I had DMs and @ notifications the minute I looked at my phone...at 5 am. Dog just HAD to go outside at 5

[wanton sun]

install instructions are in the pins

[worn delta]

If someone has tested an old version of the build (like myself) please do check it with the newer version and swap in your name and update where appropriate. Also be sure to have error codes overlay on in the menu. Have fun! 🙂

[fair stump]

Everything shows now at a low frame rate. I could play through the whole game now I bet

[zinc dew]

I’ve updated pins to point to latest test build too

[cerulean elk]

first I gotta get a 3DS Steam Deck video out, then have my coffee...then I can start capturing. Will do a 4 PM vid today

[thorny marten]

Rampage

[zinc dew]

⬆️ read this

[onyx minnow]

If @fallen sparrow makes a video of this update it'll have to be a long one 🙂

[cerulean elk]

3DS, coffee, N64, do another four voice overs, knock out a client color draft, edit Analogue Pocket start guide then start capturing for a new series

[quasi storm]

Didn't the original hardware struggle with this game? Maybe it's normal. (I jest)

[cerulean elk]

so much struggled on the N64

[vagrant ivy]

And do the op Tiger thing. The N64 can be left to others only you have Op Tiger

[hearty python]

Still under 70% FPGA usage?

[cerulean elk]

I made part 2 already. I never waited for responses

its a four parter

[pallid falcon]

Let's Smash Tennis (J) is playable - ball has a black border

[quasi storm]

Aw... But it was trying SO HARD.

[fair stump]

I played it a lot as a kid but you could be right 😄 though maybe not as low as it currently runs

[hollow rune]

Thank you so much for the instructions

[thorny marten]

Gex is looking good

[cerulean elk]

it really did

[safe robin]

Are we far enough now for a unstable update script?

Im a lazy man I know 😅

[zinc dew]

@orchid nimbus

[wanton sun]

there seems to be a bug: when i go to bob omb in mario64 and start waverace afterwards, the textures are broken. If i reload the core, all is fine. Just to let you know in case you find missing textures...reloading the core might help

[pallid falcon]

Where do I request edit access @worn delta ?

[safe robin]

I'm not sure if it's on vampier or if Robert has to set up a build process for it too?

[cerulean elk]

its funny; Steam Deck videos do terrible day 1 but go on to be 40-50K view stuff. N64 will do 1K views in 90 minutes and never get past 6K views

[pallid falcon]

Got the spreadsheet on a second monitor ready to be edited

[cobalt junco]

super excited to start trying some games to see the progress

[thick terrace]

DOOOOOOOM!

[quasi storm]

We need to raise awareness!

[fallen sparrow]

Thanks Robby, I'm just working on the weekly news video. I hope to play around with this after.

[fallen sparrow]

Hopefully later

[safe robin]

WCW Nitro looks so good now but sadly crashes for me a few seconds after starting a Mach. But somehow only if I press the c buttons (which are the main punch and grab buttons for that game) but could also just be a coincidence

[zinc dew]

yah sorry if you already knew, I had just woken up lol

[thick terrace]

DOOOOOOOM Looks like hell, but the intro played and I was abe to start a game and walk around some before it crashed.

[hearty python]

Looks like the ram isn’t cleared right.

[paper orchid]

Huh

The intro of S&P looks great, still crashes. The tutorial I can get a lot further in though

[fallen sparrow]

Always appreciate a ping, even if I know (which I didn't)
I knew the 1st one, not the 2nd

[dreamy ridge]

bros...playing mario kart 64 in its current state is SO fucking lit. @wanton sun can't thank you enough 🥹

[wanton sun]

more like something in the rdp still configured and not reset by waverace

[undone oak]

Goemon was rockin there up until where the gameplay begins i think it crashes

[paper orchid]

Actually huh, I beat the tutorial without it crashing finally

[cerulean elk]

just probably down to install base

[zinc dew]

⬆️ Reload the core in-between testing games.

[cerulean elk]

ill reload YOUR core! Reboot Robby

[quasi storm]

You weren't asking me, but you should be able to request access in Google docs, once you open the file.

[pallid falcon]

I see no such option

[cerulean elk]

you logged in? should give you a prompt to request access

[quasi storm]

Also, you on mobile or no?

[remote hatch]

Ridge Racer ,looks very good , but crash on the begining of race

i love RR

[pallid falcon]

Logged in, on desktop, but link copied from mobile

[remote hatch]

wipeout works amazingly well

Wave

♥️

[pallid falcon]

Right, got it working, used the pin from here on desktop

[modern sleet]

Turok plays well

[worn delta]

On the sheet you should be able to request edit access and it pings me a notification, I have a flurry in today, hopefully one was you! I'm about to head out for the day and won't be able to test (but will be on my phone). I'll look at doing a proper write up on the test sheet this weekend, now we have a boom of interest.

A couple of things, I added a column for Japan and Europe (UK) that notes if they are exclusives or not, if anyone wants to get exotic and test non US games.

There is also a column "n64-database" - this is logging if the rom is in the n64-database.txt file. Basically, if you don't get a message flash up saying a file is missing (I can't recall the exact wording right now) just mark as "Yes", if you do get the message mark "Missing". it's really helpful to confirm that the dumps are the same across htgdb and no intro, and see what will need to be added to the text file in the future. I suspect all the retail games are in the sheet, so likely only see for non retail.

Have fun!

-if anyone struggles to find the request button on the sheet then PM me your email and I can manually add you at some point over the weekend

[quasi storm]

Good to know. I was going to ask about this.

[pallid falcon]

Just asked for edit access

[remote hatch]

No luck in grand prix too 😄

[native mesa]

What benefit does unstable mister add

[pallid falcon]

It lets you load games

[thick terrace]

F1 Pole Position 64 got into game. slow and I don't drive well, but it looked cool

[cerulean elk]

no "benefit" but features needed to load the games that havent been merged into main yet

[pallid falcon]

current MiSTer build doesn't access the database

[native mesa]

Oh so just the little Endian and byte swapped ones then

Got it

[pallid falcon]

I'll do some more testing later when I have edit access

[worn delta]

That should be you now

[thorny marten]

Still freezes but you can see more.

[fair stump]

I requested as well

[cerulean elk]

ok time for coffee then N64 capture testing

no way I will get through my list today without a solid pint class of cold brew

[remote hatch]

Doom

[cerulean elk]

Sweet sweet coffee

[hollow pebble]

Live footage of @cerulean elk and @fallen sparrow editing together a video.

[paper orchid]

Cold brew?

[cerulean elk]

Lol. Really it takes one hand on the trackball and just very small keyboard movements

And yes I am a die hard track ball user for editing

[hollow pebble]

😂

[cerulean elk]

Classy cup, phallic cactus. How I start my day 🤣

[silent marten]

Is Bob-Omb battlefield supposed to look all washed out or was that me not reloading core?

I am trying again

[cerulean elk]

Apparently it looks like the desert. Tans

[zinc dew]

Looks like a geoduck

[cerulean elk]

Ugliest delicious food ever

They do geoduck sashimi in Chinatown here. 10/10 recommend to anyone who enjoys seafood

[silent marten]

OK, it was the same with Starfox as well but I seen a screenshot in here where it looks better

[fallen sparrow]

The large cactus looks like it's telling the other one some inappropriate things

[cerulean elk]

“Shove your Analogue Pocket into things kids. It’s the new trend”

We have a LOT of plants. Like maybe 50? 60?

[lean spruce]

Oh man, cant wait to test todays build!!

[cerulean elk]

Everyone gets to peep on the VGE homestead today while I have my coffee 🤣

[paper orchid]

Speaking of coffee, I need to work on a large cold brew batch today before it gets any later in the day

[cerulean elk]

I assume @fallen sparrow walls just have the Union Jack painted on them and it’s like an Austin Powers set decoration

[fallen sparrow]

Pretty much

[cerulean elk]

We have a Hario for a four cup one then a Toddy maker for a gallon

Wife and I love coffee. Have a siphon, multiple pour overs, aero press, manual extraction espresso machine, etc

[paper orchid]

I have a bucket and cheesecloth lol, my coffee budget went into many other things

[zinc dew]

nerd alert nerd alert

[cerulean elk]

That’s all a toddy setup is

A plastic bucket and a mesh bag

[paper orchid]

Nice! I've got an Aeropress, french press and a Gaggia Classic for espresso

[cerulean elk]

Lol I am on discord at 8 am talking to you people. Isn’t it obvious? We’re all nerds

[fallen sparrow]

Who says the Pocket and the MiSTer can't live in harmony?

[zinc dew]

I love the irony of calling other people nerds here lol

[cerulean elk]

Most people got home from the bar last and woke up with a hangover. I fell asleep planning my morning N64 captures

[zinc dew]

im a discord mod, im like the worst of the worst lmao

[cyan pagoda]

Please, my eyes 😂

[vagrant ivy]

Shut up Nerd !

[hollow pebble]

Not gonna lie, I expect way less plants and way more dust and stacks of retro gear.

Why can’t you be a stereotype

[cerulean elk]

Mommy what is that Pocket doing to the MiSTer?

[zinc dew]

That’s to the left of the image

[cyan pagoda]

You da best mod ever

[hollow pebble]

It’s always out of frame

[cerulean elk]

If you walked into our house you’d never know I have games or hardware

[hollow pebble]

It’s a conspiracy

[quasi storm]

Road rash is looking good!

[zinc dew]

Haha I appreciate it but I don’t agree, I lack the charisma of our mods from the UK

[cerulean elk]

It’s all sorted neatly in the closet, or in custom cabinets / bookshelves that close. Only my studio looks like someone who plays video games lives here

[fallen sparrow]

That ain't no RF dongle

[cerulean elk]

Be still my beating heart

[cyan pagoda]

You made the server more enjoyable all around imo boss

[hollow pebble]

Is it in a secret room? Hidden in the walls? Foundations for your house?

[hollow pebble]

Oh you answered before I finished typing haha

[fallen sparrow]

They're making Bacon and eggs Son

Aah, that's why I can see the green dripping down

[cerulean elk]

One day I’ll do an on camera tour. I just need to make the place spotless

But no it’s not at all a visual collection. I have no desire for a game room or to make it obvious I own this stuff

We have art everywhere though. Oils, lots of prints, old paintings, etc

[fallen sparrow]

Anyway, back to the grind, I'm way behind schedule, and I have to pop out to get lunch for the family.

Back to news video, right after I was off the analogue jizz

[cerulean elk]

My wife was an art history major and an assistant curator for awhile. So our walls are mostly gallery walls of art weve purchased while traveling, etc

[fallen sparrow]

I got caught in the cross fire

[fair stump]

That's how I try to do it as well

[hollow pebble]

That mounting is giving me major anxiety.

[vagrant ivy]

I just have this old thing

[cerulean elk]

Haha it’s not a true picture rail sadly

But it’s been hanging there for years

We have some weird stuff in the house

[brisk drum]

This is an unnatural abomination

[cerulean elk]

Love is love

[hollow pebble]

I feel like its only future is to be part of a Final Destination style death for someone.

[viral swift]

Damn. Did Not expected so much Progress ... Unfortunately im Back Home tomorrow evening 😢

[pallid falcon]

We are all nerds here - N64 is Nerd 64, surely you fellow nerds knew that, nerds (nerds)?

[cerulean elk]

Something has to get me

[zinc dew]

Thanks that makes me really happy to hear that. My number one priority is that this server is great for everyone here. It’s really special to find other likeminded individuals who share the same passions as we do so anything I can do for the community I’m happy to do.

[brisk drum]

Daikatana awaits me

[cerulean elk]

But yeah @hollow pebble for as much as I have I don’t display it unless it’s in my studio and then it’s because I’m using it

[pallid falcon]

Might be the Elmo N64 games, they are pretty creepy.

[cerulean elk]

Get a room you two!

Nah kidding. Robby is cool

[hollow pebble]

Totally fair dude, I have very little of mine on display too.

[cyan pagoda]

We did 👀

Brought my mister and he brought his.

[hollow pebble]

You’re a good egg my dude, glad you’re on the mod team. 🥰

[cerulean elk]

@zinc dew is my favorite discord member named @zinc dew

[zinc dew]

Yes but the cost was too great. We miss you.

[hollow pebble]

Except for that time you cracked down on GIFs

[pallid falcon]

2pm and I haven't had a shower and shave yet, been playing N64 games. Need to do that, and head out. See you nerds later.

[hollow pebble]

I’ll never forgive that.

[fair stump]

Looks like there aren't anymore visual issues here

[cerulean elk]

Grow a beard. Keeps shaving time down

Or if you can’t grow one…fake beard. Get weird with it

[pallid falcon]

My beards have in the past looked a bit dodgy

[cerulean elk]

Mine isn’t perfect either but I gave up caring. It’s good enough

[pallid falcon]

I won't be taking my MiSTer into the shower - I'm not Robby.

[native mesa]

OK I gotta remap these turok controls

There any patches?

[zinc dew]

I have one

it’s called “git gud”

lmao im kidding don’t kill me

it’s weird using left analog to look and right analog to move (mapped my c-buttons there)

[hollow pebble]

Anyone tested Tetrisphere?

[native mesa]

But you can't change left stick at the moment to right stick

Or can you in a config file

[brisk drum]

NEVER FORGET!

https://tenor.com/view/ill-never-forget-it-its-all-in-my-head-i-wont-forget-it-remarkable-exceptional-gif-15789456

Nor forgive!

[hollow pebble]

Me when I saw it happening:

[devout leaf]

Whoa so the core looks way different today.

[quasi storm]

Yep. It works, but is slow. Slight pixel artifacting.

[brisk drum]

Yeah it does

[zinc dew]

@wanton sun I believe one of your goals was to get Mario Kart looking correct. That video you X’eeted seems to accomplish that, right?

https://x.com/azumfpg/status/1695326857208484118?s=46&t=qZDZkf9otfQfj9v44WsIZA

Fixed some rendering issues in the #MiSTerFPGA N64 core, for example missing transparency.

Folgers classic roast for me @cerulean elk

[cerulean elk]

Explains a lot

[brisk drum]

I spit on your fancy coffee!

This is murica!

Le cafe!

[hollow pebble]

Coffee sucks

There

I said it

[brisk drum]

Pure 100% Arabica

[cerulean elk]

Lol I admit we blow too much money on coffee, food and alcohol. Some may accuse my wife and I of “fanciness”

[thorn flax]

me waking up to see fpgazumspass posting his latest

[cerulean elk]

But that’s what happens when you are two adults with no kids

[hollow pebble]

To each their own, live the dream.

[brisk drum]

I would call you the bour·geoi·sie

[hollow pebble]

Exactly

[oblique remnant]

you did it. now it's time to drink some Fanta

[brisk drum]

Yeah well if you got keeeds to feed you drink folgers aight !

Lol

[brisk drum]

Don’t you wanna? Want a Fanta?

[zinc dew]

Did that game really have a Fanta logo? Is that the PAL version?

[brisk drum]

Has to be PaL

[vapid hawk]

damn wipeout looks great

[oblique remnant]

JPN only not sure if the shindou still have it

[zinc dew]

Ohhhhhh

[hollow pebble]

PAL > NTSC

[oblique remnant]

we will see with mario kart when it has 50hz mode 😄

[brisk drum]

Beat his ass Mike!

[thorn flax]

I've spent a considerable amount of time freeing my consoles of the PAL curse

[fair stump]

Playable now

[hollow pebble]

50hz is how I played all my games until Xbox360

[zinc dew]

oh shut quest 64

[hollow pebble]

It’s part of my DNa

[zinc dew]

Anyone check that

[vapid moat]

At least he's finally showing himself

#1096015979055697940 message

[zinc dew]

I respect it 💪

[thorn flax]

did you not have a gamecube?

[hollow pebble]

Yes?

[thorn flax]

and you never chose the 60hz option when the game booted?

[devout leaf]

I guess it’s true, you never truly know what struggles other people have to go through.

[brisk drum]

Why did Europe go with 50hz exactly ?

[thorn flax]

power grid

[hollow pebble]

Nope, not when I was a younger.

[uneven dagger]

It was really weird growing up in 50Hz, then hearing the Sonic music at the right speed for the first time. The realisation that you've wasted 20% of your life...

[brisk drum]

Makes sense

[hollow pebble]

Except when forced, like Metroid Prime 2

[vapid moat]

We getting boots not only on a Zelda-title but also a game demanding Expansion Pak? Neat

[oblique remnant]

sonic 1 is the best example of a terrible PAL Conversion 😄

[thorn flax]

Japan could have gon either way.

their country is actually split

[brisk drum]

Glad they kept it at 60!

[thorn flax]

they chose freedom 🦅

[oblique remnant]

I didn't knew that 😮

[quasi storm]

I wonder what causes the wireframe effect.

[thorn flax]

transparency

[hollow pebble]

Also gotta say I respect the intense lurking only to come smack down my outrageous comment then disappear into the lurking mists once again. ✊

[fair stump]

Everything seems good in Rugrats in Paris The Movie

[zinc dew]

lol euroreptarland

[vapid moat]

I had it bit odd IIRC, I remmeber 64-games feeling bit slow back when I played them due 50hrz but TBQH it didn't deter me too much from enjoying them nonetheless

Nowadays I still rather revisit few games I grew up in my childhood in that format (Like SM64, OOT maybe and Mario Kart 64 isn't too different)

[lilac scroll]

It’s an insane experience to close my eyes and drool into a pillow for eight hours then wake up to see how much progress @wanton sun made over night

[brisk drum]

Indeed it is ! HUZAAH FOR ROBERT!

I’m about to add a picture of him to my catholic shrine

[native mesa]

Mario Kart looks so good

[cerulean elk]

Lolol I’ve never seen that

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-sox-park-shooting-20230826-hcpdrc5xqfhkzdxp4ywx5evfse-story.html

[hollow pebble]

Saint Robert, Patron Saint of FPGA.

[cerulean elk]

See. We can’t even have nice baseball games!

[thorn flax]

literally me on my way to pray for his continued success

[vapid moat]

In this house we all appreciate Ultra Robert 64

[fair stump]

Watch the cubs or get shot

[quasi storm]

Guys...

[cerulean elk]

It’s sketchy around the park. Lotta scammers/neighborhood gets pretty bad a few blocks west

[hollow pebble]

Robert needs to stop, he’s gone too far.

[zinc dew]

lol make one of those candles

[brisk drum]

Now future generations will know our pain first hand

It’s an important lesson

[silent marten]

He is the embodiment of Sonic

[zinc dew]

I forgot what they’re called but you know what I mean

[brisk drum]

I already got a Jesus , Virgin Mary candle and a Judas candle ready to go

Robert will fit neatly between my grandma and baby Jesus

[oblique remnant]

Nice guess the first F1 Game is running 🙂 Human Grand Prix

[fair stump]

NFL Blitz got turf installed

[quasi storm]

Alright... Hear me out. Superman... Actually isn't THAT bad. It's pretty horrid, yes... But there are worse games.

[quasi storm]

Why does the sky look like Slimer Juice?

[frail jolt]

Have a Kim k type of morning everyone

[oblique remnant]

well at least we have the cars and racetrack rendered now 🙂

[placid quiver]

How is the speed of the core?

[silent marten]

Depends on the game

[fair stump]

Nfl blitz didn't feel like it had any slowdown

[cerulean elk]

Patron saint of stealing my Saturday morning

Nah who am I kidding. I’d be working on something anyway

[viscid gate]

Snobo Kids is looking snowy!

[quasi storm]

Fighting force is looking great

[tropic sand]

Beetle Adventure Racing... Lots more graphics with latest test build... goes in game too.. then locks up. Same with a core re-load.

[zinc dew]

That game is so good!!

[deft tree]

First time those words have been uttered in history

[quasi storm]

It's interesting that the N64 version doesn't do screen shake the same way PS1 does. I remember while testing that core, causing screen shake would trigger a screen resync due to the way it shifted the pixels

[quasi storm]

Don't care for it?

[vapid hawk]

its kind of hacky how ps1 did it

[deft tree]

Lol I have my PsX copy from childhood still and played it a bunch, great game it is not

Extremely average

[native mesa]

@orchid nimbus Can you update my mister.ini settings for analog output to this?

[N64] vscale_mode=1 vga_scaler=1 video_mode=320,8,32,24,240,4,3,16,6048

Need vscale mode 1 for integer scaling to eliminate vertical artifacts.

[fair stump]

Power Rangers appears playable

[tropic sand]

My fave game... Soo hyped to see it getting in game. Robert is legendary

[vapid hawk]

i wouldn't be surprised if the n64 gpu wont let you pull the same stunt psx uses for screenshake effects

[quasi storm]

GPU: Yeah, no. Do it right ..

[mortal apex]

Oh my, so much happened while I was sleeping. The forbidden quest is starting to look good. Doesn't go past the title screen yet but I tried Robert's save state again and got this:

[viscid gate]

40 Winks is improved but still unstable

[quasi storm]

Oh? I didn't realize that was on N64, too.

[zinc dew]

THE FORBIDDEN GAME

@hollow pebble beat me too it, he’s smarter, better looking, and now faster than me

[hollow pebble]

And I’m powered on GIFs

[native mesa]

Some textures displaying on Glover now

[fair stump]

Tigger's Honey Hunt seems pretty playable

[wanton sun]

It's not fully correct, but i guess good enough that playing it will be fun. Just needs more performance for the stable 30fps and eeprom saved to sdcard

[oblique remnant]

Diddy Kong Racing renders a lot better now 🙂 is the image slightly over brightened or is it on my side?

[wanton sun]

maybe try to reload the core when that happens

(don't ask why, but it helped with waverace for me)

[native mesa]

Which one of these is internal resolution?

Bottom?

[compact depot]

Switching cores after loading a N64 game and coming back to the N64 core it loads the last game loaded! 🤔

[cerulean elk]

ok core loaded up...time for some testing

[hexed flax]

Has anyone tested the AKI wrestling games?

[viscid gate]

It’s really great progress - your post with “Mario Kart 64 kind of starts up” was only 13 days ago!

[zinc dew]

I know you’re well aware of this but I like saying it. You’re making so many people happy with your work. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful person and sharing your talents with everyone.

This channel is exploding with enthusiasm, excitement, and joy thanks to you.

[cerulean elk]

killing it so far...put the core in _computers

[vapid moat]

Upper is for Analog Output

Bottom is for Digital

[fast swan]

@hexed flax I have none would boot black screen

[hexed flax]

@fast swan thanks!

[fair stump]

Toy Story 2 is running now

[hollow pebble]

And more importantly, GIFs are back!

[native mesa]

And if you're using scaler then digital output is used?

[plush summit]

Do we have to update Vamp's Database file? Its been awhile

[cerulean elk]

hey Mario level select has actual text

[vapid moat]

If via HDMI, then yeah

[zinc dew]

lol noooo

[brisk drum]

Anybody test wcw vs nwo revenge ?

Or wrestlemania 2000 or no mercy ?

[zinc dew]

Sounds like you are

[plush summit]

I could try it now

[zinc dew]

[brisk drum]

Please do amigo

[blissful plaza]

I've finished the first level of Banjo Kazooie (Mumbo's Mountain - 100%) with the second version of today's core.

[cerulean elk]

thought about throwing baby penguin off the edge...but delivered him to mom

[brisk drum]

Maybe this means it’s time for you to be a father

[fast swan]

Made it to Title screen on Madden 2002 Spiderman makes it to level 1 and freezes.

[plush summit]

No Mercy (Rev 1) and W2000 doesn't boot 😦

just garbled screen

[brisk drum]

Bogus! Maybe next build

[native mesa]

Mega Man Legends looks really good

[cerulean elk]

Mario 64 just looks bang up now

[oblique remnant]

now it changed to a red tint 🙂

[cerulean elk]

Snowboard kids intro looks great...slow but great

then again its been a minute since Ive played so maybe this is normal

[fleet gyro]

Where can I find the core for download?

[vagrant ivy]

Check the Pins

[cerulean elk]

The level select screen of Snowboard Kids just seems 1:1

[weary palm]

Has anyone tried 1080 snowboarding

[vagrant ivy]

because you will need them for the Faq Explaining how to set up the core

[fair stump]

Didn't load for me earlier

[weak sierra]

Mine looks like white haze

[vagrant ivy]

Mine is a Purple Haze

oh thats the music my bad

[drowsy junco]

Did you have any issues configuring that controller? I just got mine yesterday, and MiSTer isn't detecting the analog stick.

[plush summit]

DKR is playing really smoothly on boot, no sound though

[vagrant ivy]

the analog is autodetected you dont use it in the config of the stick

[drowsy junco]

Okay, I'll try that out. I had to config the sticks in the main menu (not the N64 core) for my other controller.

[cerulean elk]

Snowboard Kids is working well. Some audio distortion. otherwise awesome

[vagrant ivy]

I was referiing to in core

[drowsy junco]

So, did you confog the sticks in the main MiSTer menu beforehand?

[vagrant ivy]

Well I used a PS5 controller and yes I did

[pallid falcon]

I paired the NSO via bluetooth and didn't set it up in MiSTer, just copied over MARIO's config file

[vagrant ivy]

thats only for the NSO though isnt it. That controller looks like a retrobit

[pallid falcon]

Yes I believe so

[zinc dew]

My Wife: when are you going to cut the grass?
Me: in a bit, I'm doing something important!
My Wife: what is it?
Me: ....testing the new N64 core....

My wife:

[bronze tree]

Quake is still black, I wonder what's missing

[vagrant ivy]

NSO is so annoying I want to buy one, but I dont have a switch and I am not playing 50 % more on Ebay

[native mesa]

Ugh I remember why I never enjoyed mega man legends

[fallen sparrow]

I got a wife part in the N64 part of the news video.

[remote hatch]

Finally, some good game for the N64

[vagrant ivy]

Where she appears and the Video Instant cuts

[fallen sparrow]

I get beats

[zinc dew]

YESSSS, SO GOOD!

[manic basin]

Right now, Boise ID. But normally Seattle.

[weak sierra]

Yep no sound, runs very well

[fallen sparrow]

Grabbing lunch. Some grimy doner

[safe robin]

It's even crazier. You can only buy 4 controllers per account, so they are less scalpers. Why would Nintendo not just make more 😅

[zinc dew]

"Grimy Doner" is my stage name

[remote hatch]

I totally agree with this 🙂

[weak sierra]

Is there a way to assign the Z-Trigger to two buttons because I’m using a controller which has two?

[true kelp]

Dang

[fallen sparrow]

Love it

[weak sierra]

Retro-Bit Tribute

[zinc dew]

Yeah, when you're done assigning buttons it'll ask if you want to assign again, just skip all other inputs by pressing menu and on the Z-trigger option press the other button you want to use

That's what I do for my analog triggers, both are Z.

[weak sierra]

Ah of course, many thanks

[fallen sparrow]

That's handy to know

[zinc dew]

No that this solves the C-button issue but I also assign right and top buttons to C-left and C-down on top of using the right stick for the c-buttons

[weak sierra]

My very of Mario 64 crashes at the start with E0002, could that be because I need a clean dump?

[vagrant ivy]

No you need a patched rom

see the Pins

[zinc dew]

Go here for patches, it's crashing because of the Mario face - https://vampier.net/N64/

SDFGJKDFSAGLFDSJGFDSJ I am too slow!!

[weak sierra]

Many thanks guys

[zinc dew]

I'll take a participation trophy for helping. I'm ok with Tim taking gold medal.

[zinc dew]

oh my god that's a long gif lmao

[plush summit]

Holy crap

MK64 is looking CRAZY

[hollow pebble]

It’s 36mb 😂

[zinc dew]

@plush summit making that face right now playing MK64

[plush summit]

Guys, I need an excuse to skip a wedding, suggestions?

[hollow pebble]

Explain you hate weddings.

[plush summit]

okay, think I could find the nearest TV and plug the MiSTer in?

reception halls have them

😂

[hollow pebble]

BYO tv and set it up on your table

No one will mind

Trust me bro

[native mesa]

Build that handheld mister real quick

[vagrant ivy]

Have an affair with the Bridesmaid it will get you banned

[native mesa]

Take laxatives and poo yourself at the wedding

[desert crow]

tell the groom mario kart is working on the core

[neat sierra]

But he will call the wedding off so he can check it out

[brisk drum]

Bring the smallest crt you have with you

[bronze tree]

V-Rally looks and feels great... and then hangs

[cerulean elk]

Tom and Jerry plays nicely, watching the intro to Sin and Punishment now...it froze

got in game mashing start

[cerulean elk]

and froze in game lol

[vapid moat]

Nice to play this far on one of my most fave collectathons ever~

[brisk drum]

Now the anticipation to see if it’ll work on the next build

[cerulean elk]

Banjo intro is fun. Everyone missing some bits

[bronze tree]

Worms has graphical glitches, but is playable

[zinc dew]

that statement also applies to an Alabama gathering

||no offense to anyone from Alabama lol||

[bronze tree]

wow, the graphics in Yoshi's Story are very weird now

[cerulean elk]

Banjo music sounds really nice. Will use that as a sound sample

[compact depot]

Is another unstable release planned for today?

[cerulean elk]

it better not be or else @fallen sparrow and I are gonna cry lolol

[vapid hawk]

i didn't see Rob say he was spinning down for the day so maybe i guess?

then again he doesn't always

[quasi storm]

Fire a few nails into your gut, then say you remembered you had an appointment at the ER.

[desert crow]

He ain't talking, sure he's fixing something

[cerulean elk]

Castlevania still does a whole lot of nothing

[zinc dew]

Real talk here, if I were Rob I would purposefully plan my core updates just to troll you two

Like not constantly, a few times.

would be funny

[quasi storm]

Watch... Next update The N64 core will be emulating the Switch better than switch can emulate the 64...

[cerulean elk]

lol @wanton sun take the day off! (honestly our viewers aren't on here in bulk. They know what we tell them)

[compact depot]

I bet he’s just finishing CPU data cache so we have 30fps on Mario Kart 64

[quasi storm]

And StarFox, and tetrisphere, and...

[daring meteor]

He's just quickly making the TLB guys

He'll be done any moment

[zinc dew]

that's why I specifically asked him what's next for Mario Kart 64, he outed his dev plan - #1096015979055697940 message

[quasi storm]

We need a video of starfox for @cerulean elk

[desert crow]

he's going to run out of numbers to name the build today if he does too many more.

[daring meteor]

lmao

[quasi storm]

@cerulean elk do you take handheld camera footage?

[zinc dew]

you gonna send him some spicy vids or something

[quasi storm]

I might get a capture card just for this...

[hollow rune]

Ready to test with my friends

[native mesa]

Honestly I think doing this kinda work is time off for him

[quasi storm]

Heck yeah... If by spicy you mean StarFox 64...

[zinc dew]

are your friends a polar bear and a brown bear?

[cerulean elk]

not sure what you mean?

[plush summit]

I got a $30 Capture stick, 1080p60

[cerulean elk]

Cruis'n World works great...just not full speed

[quasi storm]

I was going to record some footage of StarFox 64, but I am most surely no expert.

[cerulean elk]

everything is via capture card

normally for YT I shoot on sticks but a lot of my work thats not mine is handheld. Spent a lot of years getting good at it

Mario Kart is just looking GOOD

[quasi storm]

I'll grab a video quick. I'll leave it up to you if you'd like to use it!

[cerulean elk]

I think I am making this video "just bangers"

[zinc dew]

Anyone play Time Trials in Mario Kart 64?

It’s full speed!

Or am I the last person to find out? 😂

[cerulean elk]

no just standard race

in Wave Race now

[hollow rune]

It isn't all my friends. Today it is me, Falkor and Baby Falkor. Molly isn't testing she just photo bombed us in the background.

[plush summit]

Yeah, I'm rolling on Rainbow Road, Bowser's Castle and Wario Stadium

[hollow rune]

to reboot the core, do we just switch cores?

[zinc dew]

Dude get some time trial footage if you can! It’s flawless!

[plush summit]

The wireframe on Rainbow Road is kinda hot ngl

[cerulean elk]

Ill go back in quickly

[bronze tree]

@orchid nimbus don't forget to update the timeline with some new milestones 🙂

[cerulean elk]

Majora's Mask seems haunted

creepy ass LINK

that's gonna be a joke in the vid

[native mesa]

Ass link

🍑

[cerulean elk]

fun Goemon intro

[weary palm]

Am I'm the only one who's reminded of Mario Kart DS when you see MK64 without texture filtering?

[quasi storm]

If only it ran at 60

[cerulean elk]

bummer Goemon freezes in game

Doom 64 intro looking weird but good

[weary palm]

True...

[quasi storm]

StarFox throws garbage when loading between screens. I wonder if that's how the real thing goes, and the 64 just blanks the screen.

[weary palm]

F-Zero is the only N64 game that I know of that does 240p60

[native mesa]

For now

I bet we can pump those numbers up down the road

Maybe not on mister

[cerulean elk]

getting time trials now @zinc dew

[worldly flint]

If anyone can make MiSTer run N64 faster than original hardware it's Robert

[hollow rune]

Fun stuff from paper mario

[native mesa]

Yeah, there's just physical limits

[cerulean elk]

you weren't kidding @zinc dew

Paper Mario intro working...fun to see

gonna wrap up testing soon and go to edit/VO

[native mesa]

I think the most geometry impressive level is probably Yoshi's stage. Maybe wario stadium

[cerulean elk]

Star Wars then done

[mossy needle]

Banjo is looking a little spotted

[quasi storm]

Goldeneye can do it... If you narrow the screen, go to the runway, run to the office, and look at the floor...

[cerulean elk]

nvm dont have the rom. Bangai-o it is

until it froze lol

[zinc dew]

Yesssss should make for a super impressive update!

[cerulean elk]

captures done...time for edit

[mossy needle]

I'm going to see if I can 100% banjo

[quasi storm]

That's odd. My copy won't load. Is yours .Z64?

[mossy needle]

Mine is .n64

[pallid grail]

I can't steer left or right in Mario Kart, yet in the menus the controller works fine. Am I missing something?

[cerulean elk]

are all other games working? with analog

[daring meteor]

Prepare to see that for the next 5 months

[plush summit]

works flawless with my DualSense

[pallid grail]

It's the first time I've tried the core today, so only tested it on Mario Kart. I've tried two controllers though and same issue

[daring meteor]

What is your RAM?

There's someone else who couldn't get analog working and maybe its a bug relating to ram

[hollow rune]

@zinc dew it counts as a boot if I get to the attract mode (even a few frames), right? Also is switching cores enough to reboot the core?

[zinc dew]

Yup and yup

[onyx minnow]

make sure you're running the unstable mister main

[zinc dew]

Thank you very much for testing!!!

[hollow rune]

I know it isn't a huge deal now, but it will help me get in the groove for later. I think I can be helpful because me, my dad, and Team Door Door know a lot of these games and have the carts on hand

[pallid grail]

Ram is 128. I was wondering if I should be running unstable MiSTer main

[viral swift]

Cant await to do my Testing tomorrow evening

[mossy needle]

So far so good

For some reason I couldn't backflip when z was set to left trigger bit works woth right trigger

[drowsy junco]

Having to return the Tribute64 controller I just got. Analog stick continually pushes to the left

[daring meteor]

If anyone else has a weird bug in a game where it crashes, try pj64 and uncheck "Use TLB", if it crashes there jr will crash here

[hollow rune]

Did not know Poke Stadium 2 used the expansion pak. Also does it run at a higher resolution?

[mossy needle]

It runs at 2 resolutions I believe and switches back an forth

[mossy needle]

Gasp...

It was foretold

[uneven moth]

Wave Race 64 looking very cool now for the intro at least! in the 20230826_2.rbf build! 🙂

[visual forge]

Only losers don't play QuestϭԿ

[visual forge]

That's not Quest ϭԿ

[remote hatch]

Quest works

[daring meteor]

Which star wars is this

[brisk drum]

Shadows of the empire

[mossy needle]

That looks like Shadows of the Empire

[visual forge]

Maybe to bypass it, you can say the word quest ϭԿ times.

[hollow rune]

IT RUNS REALLY WELL

SotE is like butter

[brisk drum]

Anybody try clayfighters ?

[orchid nimbus]

there has not been much progress lately - so I'm holding off for the real big stuff 😛

[mild ether]

Soon.

[hollow rune]

30 FPS and not letting up

ok, that's not true it dips

got a little ahead of myself

[brisk drum]

What a roller coaster

[bronze tree]

fair enough, let's wait till there is some real progress 😛

[mossy needle]

It is n64

[quasi storm]

Ran across this.

Reminds me of a common issue for old emulators

[brisk drum]

Anybody try clayfighters yet ?

[hollow rune]

the bad part is SotE is not an easy game for me, so someone else will need to get to the shooty parts, cause I don't have time for this

it is remakably smooth though

[hollow rune]

hangs out at 25 fps

[mossy needle]

Just finished Mumbos mountain

[brisk drum]

How’s it running ?

[remote hatch]

good 🙂

[weary palm]

Can the core output 16:9 as it is right now?

[fair stump]

I'll be playing through it 👍the on foot sections were pretty low framerate for me

[remote hatch]

21-30fps

[fair stump]

And level four of battle of hoth

[hollow rune]

Excellent, The little AT-STs were already annoying me. The sensitivity of the steering is intense

[fair stump]

Yeah

[daring meteor]

I thought MK64 didn't use Illegal modes

No its RGBA16

[quasi storm]

Found my issue. Out of date database...

[mossy needle]

Ohh that makes sense

Oof Treasure Trove cove chugs at like 17fps

[zealous obsidian]

Testing, testing, the CRT Ini settings from Vampier’s site worked successfully.

[weary palm]

Frosty Village was pretty laggy if I remember correctly

[quasi storm]

You ain't seen nothing yet...

[cerulean elk]

to voice over. See you kids at 4!

[hollow rune]

What is the defining line between "Playable" and "Issues". Like it seems like I can play Madden Football 64 just fine. some the graphics are including the players are in all black

[onyx minnow]

i don't think there is any hard line just what you think is most appropriate, add notes, either way whatever we put in there will change anyway so no stress i think 🙂

[weary palm]

Installing Quartus 17 just so I can make a Widescreen .rbf xD

[daring meteor]

I'm making an analog out rbf, we are mortal enemies now

[weary palm]

we meet at dawn.

[onyx minnow]

analog is working on my mistercade

[daring meteor]

Analog without wobbly lines or VGA scaler

[onyx minnow]

oh nice

i'm not using vga scaler but yeah there are wobbly lines

[daring meteor]

Yeah that's why you have wobbly lines

[weary palm]

If two rbf's are built with the same seed and only minor changes made to the source, are they going to have similiar bit streams?

[daring meteor]

Fitter may do some funny stuff I think

[weary palm]

pretty unpredictable, in other words

[brisk drum]

I’m team analog!

[visual wadi]

odd. I had the core working last night and now when I try launch any game, I just get a black screen

I deleted the core and copied it back over

deleted the N64 games folder, copied them back over with the boot.rom and database file

still no dice

[weary palm]

weird

and you haven't done any updates?

[visual wadi]

nope

[hallow sedge]

Looks amazing!!

[onyx minnow]

i had a similar problem, try loading the same rom twice, also make sure to use the mister unstable (although if it was working yesterday it should still work)

[brisk drum]

Oh so we still need the latest unstable ?

[visual wadi]

ok

it was working for me with the newest mister stable

last night

[onyx minnow]

its probably not that then

[hollow rune]

Lode Runner 3-D

[onyx minnow]

bios differences maybe? i know fpgazumspazz is using the one that was pif.ntsc.rom but there is also some other supported

msg me directly if you can't find the pif.ntsc.rom one

[cerulean elk]

VO done. Lay in backing music and export. Fun updates

[visual wadi]

ok, so updated to the mister unstable and most recent N64 core again and games are loading again

bizarre

[cerulean elk]

if it works...it works!

[hollow rune]

https://tenor.com/view/frankenstein-its-alive-happy-excited-gif-5625959

[cerulean elk]

I hit an easter egg joke in the first four minutes of the video...let's see who figures it out

@zinc dew I am looking at you

[onyx minnow]

i can only take a guess in that my mister unstable was newer than your mister unstable 😛

[visual wadi]

haha KI bombed out after about a minute

[cerulean elk]

actually I will buy the FIRST person a $5 Steam game of their choice that gets it...maybe I can tell @zinc dew what the easter egg is so he can be the arbiter? lol

[tidal zenith]

oh hey nice 1600x1200 lcd 😄

[cerulean elk]

"a typo" lolol

[tidal zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/oops-aquaman-bro-gif-18498968

[visual wadi]

haha 1600x1200 indeed

[weary palm]

what video?

[hollow rune]

Time Trial on Mario Kart 64 is sublime

[orchid nimbus]

ok what did I miss since yesterday?

any progress?

[zinc dew]

@visual wadi welcome and thanks for testing! That reminds me, I still have your wonderfully built top/bottom MiSTerFPGA plates that I should give away to someone.

[hollow rune]

https://tenor.com/view/mmhmm-okay-david-schitts-creek-yes-gif-13159867

[weary palm]

what video with easter eggs are we talking about

[cerulean elk]

mine. at 4

[zinc dew]

I ain’t gonna front. That still looks HOT.

[cerulean elk]

I added in an easter egg between second 00:01 and 01:39

[zinc dew]

What’s the Easter egg so I can win. Please don’t share this with the N64 channel or else they’ll know we’re corroborating.

Oh shit that’s wasn’t a private message!

[loud tartan]

Star Fox 64 is playable to completion!

[zinc dew]

Holy shit wowwwww

[loud tartan]

Seriously impressive, isn't it! While playing i thought it was bound to crash at some point ...... it never did!

[cerulean elk]

@zinc dew knows the answer. I will give ONE hint at 4 when the video goes live. First comment on the video that gets the easter egg...$5 steam game

[cerulean elk]

(nobody knows but I love puzzles. Of all kinds. Especially cryptography / weird ones like Cicada shit. I loved that back in the day. Sadly got stumped at like part 4)

[zinc dew]

It’s clever, I liked the Easter egg

[cerulean elk]

uploading now and locked in for 4 CST

[cold pollen]

it's been slow we just have some games that look basically perfect now. Kind of a bummer

[cold pollen]

playing me some Adventures of Lolo 2 right now

[orchid nimbus]

😄

@cold pollen eggerland

[cerulean elk]

ugh Ive gotta make August news soon. Gonna push that to Tuesday

so Robert can rock our worlds again with more core updates

[shell bone]

Just tested KI Gold. Rare splash screen and Char select screen looks better now but get a hard lock (black screen) after the opponent is selected in arcade mode.

Mortal Kombat 4 is very playable, hovering between mid-50's to 60fps I found

[cold pollen]

wow I never heard of this

I'm intrigued by different stages though

[shell bone]

All on today's second build. Mightily impressed. Robert never ceases to amaze me.

[cerulean elk]

he better wait till 4 if he has a third

I will go to Germany myself and take his keyboard away

[cold pollen]

he probably has a spare

[hollow rune]

I have 4. If he doesn't I will get him one.

[shell bone]

And a spare spare.

[orchid nimbus]

the MSX has 2 different versions before Lolo was created

[storm parrot]

Anyone else have this running on a CRT? It's squished on mine, using an Extron

[cold pollen]

And they're called Eggerland?

[remote hatch]

CRT out is not officially supported yet, however some people have reported success by adding the following line to their mister.ini file:

[N64]
vscale_mode=1
vga_scaler=1
video_mode=320,8,32,24,240,4,3,16,6048

https://vampier.net/N64/

[storm parrot]

Yeah already there

I'll play around with the values

[remote hatch]

no idea, sorry 😦

[shell bone]

Every time I even think about taking a soldering iron to a video signalling processor on one of my old consoles to do an HDMI mod, Robert begins to make a MiSTer core for it. I say begin, he's already well on his way by the time he "begins".

[storm parrot]

Not too bad

[real void]

Off topic obviously, but you mentioned before about looking at the PSX HDD encryption at some stage. Have you ever looked at it with a view to cracking it?

[brisk drum]

Crap I keep getting an auto detect failed message

Anyone know why?

[shell bone]

Yeah Mortal Kombat 4 is definitely to be considered playable

IMO

[cerulean elk]

the core wont recognize weirdos

[shell bone]

N64_20230826_2

[brisk drum]

Is it my bios?

[cerulean elk]

ask Vampier. I cant remember now

[weary palm]

Trying out a widescreen hack of SM64. 🙂

[oblique remnant]

Track & Field 2000 recognizes the 4MB expansion then ?!

[quasi storm]

Have you updated your N64 database recently?

[brisk drum]

Probably not , how do I ?

[carmine kettle]

no face patch or regular?

[weary palm]

it's no face patched and i also patched it for widescreen

[quasi storm]

Slam this into your N64 roms folder.

[carmine kettle]

the source code noooo

[desert nest]

I forget, are additional entries needed for ROM hacks and the like?

[quasi storm]

@brisk drum for future reference, updates can be had here...
https://vampier.net/N64/

[weary palm]

hacks that alter the first 4096 bytes of the rom needs new entries

[quasi storm]

That I'm unsure of.

[desert nest]

Okay that makes sense, I remember now -- thank you!

[quasi storm]

@brisk drum Make sure you SLAM it. That's important!

[weary palm]

Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam

[carmine kettle]

does this get updated i mean n64 text

[brisk drum]

Wtf is that ?

[remote hatch]

Super B-Daman
