Just got that cheaper Chinese made 2.4 gHz n64 controller someone on here recommended in the last couple of days and it feels alright. Stick, buttons, and dpad feel good. Finish of the controller isn't great, pieces don't exactly match up perfectly well. Played through some AKI wrestling, mario 64, kart, and OOT and it feels right for 30 bucks I'm happy. Edit: this one... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C18XH9HD

https://youtube.com/watch?v=K5_J-RoZQck&si=0VKnXbiZD2CFxtA- have you seen this mod to optomize the code? There’s a GitHub link but it’s too complicated for me

This project I started isn't terribly far from a release state now.
So here's a bunch of comparison shots between an almost unmodified vanilla SM64, to my modified version, that unlocks the framerate.
For fairness, I've kept anti aliasing enabled, but you can turn it off if you like and make it run even better. This will also support 16:10 and ...

Rom hacks are a bit easier on a cart rather than CD image.

#

I'm sure it's more of a MiSTer main bug, but I just discovered that if I register my Retro Fighters N64 controller with MiSTer main (mainly so I could set the MENU button), it will cause the joystick control to no longer function properly (only left/right register but not up/down)

manic basin
gritty current
#

Yeah, the controller test wasn't registering anything on the y axis IIRC. And when I deleted the main controller config it worked again.

viscid gate
#

I had an odd bug when I first mapped the adaptoid in Menu - it registered the y axis on stick 2 for some reason - out of interest you could run the MiSTer controller test core in Utility and go to advanced and see if that's your issue too.

Once you get past the basic CRC check the rom is wide open to whatever edits you can squeeze in. The module for N64 on Ghidra is pretty great.

I think controller handling/registration is probably the buggiest area of MiSTer

Unfortunately Mario 64 60 fps doesn't run at 60 fps in real life yet. But maybe someone could make a 40 or 50 fps version.

you can tell when I'm in painting playing a real level

intro might be 60

It does look really smooth so far

yeah but look near the end

in actual level it runs very slow

Semantics. To the general public, they are "beta" cores. I will move to test core.

Turned on EEPROM 16 and got this

But to comment here, and on my YouTube is a bit much. It's like I'm doing a disservice to the community over semantics.

it's just glaring to everyone who knows what a beta is, which is a lot of people.. calling it a test core would make sense considering its found in #test-builds

you have to manually put cic and the eeprom

or add the md5 on n64 database txt

Does anyone know where the N64 database is on the internet so I can manually put in stuff for rom hacks?

vague sun
#

@inner garden are you running the mister unstable and have the n64 database?

inner garden

or do you all rename your roms to match the original games

most of the hacks are not in the database

inner garden

right so I want to see the database myself

and manually enter

but I'm wondering if it works based on rom file name

if it does, I can simply rename my roms

I think it's the md5 hash?

ok so the actual database would be needed

I'm having a nightmare with this core trying to map an 8bit sn30 pro controller. I set the pad up in main mister and when I play shadows of the empire. I can use the stick to turn but it looks like it's also mapped to camera which makes it unplayable.
Anyone experienced this?

wanton sun

My only issue with controls is dead zones being too sensitive

daring meteor

#

I've tried a ps4 pad wired with same results. I map the c buttons to the right stick but it's as if 2 sticks are only registering as 1 in the core

daring meteor
#

It helps both me and others with VGA out

#

That don't use Scaler for one reason or another

twilit beacon
#

What controllers is everyone using for this??

wanton sun
#

ok, will do 3980 then

Xbox one for me. I was able to map right stick to c buttons just fine. Left stick drifts a lot for me though.

It's inheriting settings from the last game run

ebon oyster
#

I'm using a Bluetooth SN30 Pro with a Mayflash MAGIC-S, and my two analog sticks map separately just fine. Left stick == analog stick, right stick == C-buttons. Of course, using an analog stick for C-buttons sucks for many games, so I've also ordered one of these new-fangled wireless "Nintendo Online Switch (NOS) edition" bluetooth controllers to try out.

twilit beacon

Is there a way to nuke the settings and start fresh?

# wanton sun depends on the game. E.g. mario party uses 285 lines. Not sure what happens with...

PAL games work with vsync_adjust set to zero or one. But setting it to two yields a black screen and my TV can't sync (which never happened before for any other core running at 50hz). The resolution differs between games, i must have picked one with a very low number. So thats probably not it, so maybe the horizontal/vertical porches are not large enough in 50hz mode? Maybe this will be "automatically" fixed if the real timings of the N64 are used?

I think 0 is fine when I intend to play on analog typically. According the help: https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDocs_MiSTer/basics/video/#video_mode
vsync 0: matches the refresh rate of your monitor
vsync 1: makes the video output at exactly the frame rate of the game
vsync 2: makes the video output draw to the screen as fast as possible..... However this is the least compatible mode and it may result in unplayable behavior on some televisions using certain cores.....

#

vsync_adjust = 0 uses a buffer and forces readout for HDMI at the video_modes frequency. This is not optimal as Mister now has to repeat (or drop frames) occasionally to keep in sync with the core - on the plus side it is compatible with most displays.
vsync_adjust = 1 uses a buffer but syncs readout speed to the original frequency of the core - so you get no dropped/repeated frames (and thus no stutter or hickups in scrolling backgrounds) - this is less compatible as the hdmi timings are "fudged" and some monitors might not sync.
vsync_adjust=2 ist the "best" mode, as it does not use buffer but rescales the picture "on-the-fly" and "fudges" hdmi timings -> using no buffer means, you get less lag, on the downside this is slightly less compatible with TVs/Monitors than vsync_adjust = 1. For example the LG C9 i am using works with 95% of cores with vsync_adjust=2 @1920x1080 if frequency <62hz. Only for cores with refreshrates >62hz i need to use a 1920x1200 resolution for vsync_adjust=2 to work. Up to this point i got all cores working with vsync_adjust =2.

oblique remnant

Yeah, 50hz played on a 60hz display will always be stuttery.

still getting crashes on mario 64 after face patch and setting cache delay to 10. any other ideas?

languid dune
#

Some arcade cores convert things like 55hz to 60hz by simply speeding the game up. So no stutter, but the game runs faster than it should.

there is probably no ideal solution for now

@chilly ember

@oblique remnant better use vsync_adjust=1 at the moment with the N64 core for PAL games - as here vsync_adjust=2 ist currently broken (at least on my display). NTSC N64 works fine though.

#

Recommendation for the FAQ: Since most of the game patches are IPS patches, we should include the checksums for the original ROMs that correspond to each patch. I know that caused some confusion for me, because I wasn't sure if the original ROM should be big endian or little endian... I eventually figured it out on my own, but the checksum would have cleared that up right away. We might cut back 10%-20% of the questions about why SM64 isn't working...

I'm curious if--down the line--we'll use an alternative way of setting the CIC type per game, because I play with a lot of randomizers that modify the starting bits of the rom.

Worst comes to worst I'll just have to write a script that runs the randomizer and appends the hash to the end of the database text file.

Can anyone with experience with PAL Mario 64 verify it doesn't have significant black borders top/bottom.... Or does it?
Testing the WIP analog output, and can't remember what Mario 64 looked like, only rented back in the day

According to the core, by contrast SNAP goes to 320x285 for PAL, 320x237 with NTSC. That makes sense comparing to other cores. Mario 64 stays the same resolution (with/without noface patch)

Reading a few sources now, I guess Mario 64 did have black borders. Remember it well with SMS. None of my carts do it, guess some still were not being optimised visually even then. Interesting.

I couldn't handle playing emulation or even the SNES mini. So my love of pal remains in tact.

The controls just felt wrong, like the original seemed so different.

I think it was input latency. All I can say for sure is that the mister and the original hardware I can play.

Emulators I can't.

Backed it off - Aeropress almost seems reasonable now.

ye one day ill get it

#

the french plunger thing i hated. just cleaning it compared to the v60, and the quality of the coffee. didnt seem worth it

#

I just have a breville machine at home for espresso, it's no Rancilio or anything like that but it gets the job done

#

grinder and beans arguably more important than the machine you use

rose elbow
#

ya grinder is a big one

lone geyser
#

I can probably do a PR for unstable main and see what happens, lol

trim seal
#

Yeah, gotta have a fine grind. Hand burr grinder usually does the trick for Aeropress success.

#

hario switch + hand grinder is easiest

trim seal
#

I find the more effort I put in - assuming I don't screw it up - the more I enjoy it.

#

pourover is so fiddly

hearty oar
#

I have my hand grinder dialed in for filter, automatic for espresso

trim seal
#

Sort of a "worth the wait, fruits of labour" thing.

#

But I've always liked delayed gratification I guess. Anyway, that's your TMI for the day

latent galleon
#

my hand grinder is stupid fast, no idea how

N64 is cold brew, Saturn is French press, and PSX is pour over.

rose elbow
#

soooo true

hearty oar
#

I really want to get something like a Moccamaster one day, some mornings I want filter rather than espresso, but yeah pourover is so much work when you just quickly want a cup first thing in the morning

rose elbow
#

ive always been saying this LOL

trim seal
#

That makes Aeropress the Dreamcast I guess.

rose elbow
#

OMG mokapot is awesome

trim seal
#

Not widely known but by its biggest proselytizers.

rose elbow
#

only reason i dont do it more is dripfilter is way less hassle

mortal panther
#

I guess that makes the Switch a Keurig?

Instant coffee is the 3DO. Sure it can get the job done, but why would you do that to yourself?

Is the CD-I the left-over coffee you find in the drip tray?

rose elbow
#

i spent way too many years with instant. for me, i'm gonna say my homebrew wii is also my instant coffee LOL

mortal panther
#

3DO is more like Kopi Luwak... far too expensive when it was released, and when it comes right down to it, it was mostly shit.

trim seal
#

Ok, deep cut. Instant Coffee-bags (those ones like teabags) are the Nuon.

3DO was good before PSX and Saturn came out

its much better with an overclock

After all these years, I still can't believe I spent that much on my Panasonic FZ-1 when it was first released.
"Man, have you seen the price of that new PS3? I'd love to get one, but damn, that's a lot of money."
"Son, you think that's a lot, let me tell you a story..."

primal bolt
#

no... eating rocks was never great

trim seal
#

We need to make eating rocks great again.

primal bolt
#

I like 3DO it has some interesting wacky shit

mortal panther
#

I regret spending that much, of course... but ultimately, I don't regret getting the 3DO. I had fun with it.

trim seal
#

Oh wait, pop rocks. We did.

primal bolt
#

I think I got 3DO when it was half price

vapid hawk
#

pretty sure before hunting we ate mostly fruit

mortal panther

Yeah... if only I had waited about a year.

I spent $700 on mine back then. 😦

rose elbow
#

wow!

trim seal
#

Honestly if I had an unlimited budget, I'd track one down again.

primal bolt
#

I wouldnt have been able to get anything for $700

trim seal
#

But first on my want list atm is a CD32.

primal bolt
#

3DO is pretty cheap arent they like $50 now?

mortal panther
#

I had just joined the Air Force and had practically zero financial obligations back then. Figured, what the hell...

primal bolt
#

maybe $100

vapid hawk
#

whats the best game on 3DO ?

trim seal
primal bolt
#

wtf

AUD I mean, more like 250 usd

rose elbow
#

ahaha

primal bolt
#

oh ok

rose elbow
#

are we talking ebay prices?

primal bolt
#

yea I wouldnt pay $250 USD.... id rather just emulate it

trim seal
#

That's fair. I just like tinkering with real hardware as well.

primal bolt
#

Japan auction is probably $100

How do you specify a game uses the expansion pack in a database entry?

mortal panther
#

My personal favorites ended up being Road Rash, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and The Need for Speed... which was the very first game in that franchise.

rose elbow
#

i know around here sometimes gumtree or facebook marketplaces used to be a bit better than ebay but at a certain point everything just consolodatd a bit into silly prices

#

we will have an FPGA core one day ... I have faith

trim seal
#

I hope so.

#

I did FPGA back at uni for my final year - since specialised in other areas. I'm kinda scared to get sucked back into it tbh but MiSTer has had me considering it.

primal bolt
#

try virtual boy core

it's one of those things where they let you put code in and run it against a test suite

Oh right, I had played on that page a bit last year. Definitely on my radar.

At any rate, I'mago get a coffee.

#

I'd really love to see a VB core done that can do SBS 3D for those of us that still have 3D tvs.

rose elbow
#

without knowing anything about anything i assumed VB would be easy

vapid hawk

VB uses some weird custom cpu nobody ever made before iirc

Hmm I have been able to get the No Intro GC version of Majora's Mask to work but the same version of Ocarina of Time is just a blank screen. Alot of the games I try just have a black screen strange.

I have gotten the translation of Wonder Project J to work

#

I have ran the script from Vampier

#

using unstable build

hearty oar

I didn't think OoT was working without hacks or savestates right?

spice shuttle
#

oh maybe 🙂

weary palm
#

The GC version of OoT works fine for me

#

Haven't figured out what's special

chilly ember
#

Oot has played fine for me without crashes up to forest temple that I finished

spice shuttle
#

Bangaioh worked but looked very strange...missing pixels

chilly ember

Oot is probably fine without crashes all the way through. On the Gamecube version anyways
