which is coming from someone in my city and so will probably arrive after the board
Based upon the last Patreon post from the core developer progress is coming along nicely. The system boots on real hardware, though it doesn't do much yet. It sounds like it may be a bit still though until the core is ready for MiSTer as it currently runs on a different development board that's similar, but not exactly the same.That looks really nice. I have a feeling that as I replace boards I'll just end up with a second MiSTer.
How's the PlayStation work going?
But for some reason, when I switch adapters to use the NES controller, it registers all the buttons as being pressed at the same time and nothing functions. Since everything else works, it seems like the culprit should be the NES controller adapter, but the guy from Bliss Box had me try about 5 different tests on it and everything seemed OK.
I'd recommend waiting for it to arrive and tinkering then with us to help. It's just going to sound overwhelming, but when you have it it's much easier.My de10 hasn’t shipped yet. It’s only been a couple of days, so I need to just cool my jets and wait a bit, but the site claims to ship most orders on the same day and the rest on the next, so it’s kind of annoying.
Meantime I’m spending too much time reading about MiSTer stuff. I’ve been trying to figure out if I’m going to be able to get integer scaling on SMS. It just got custom aspect ratios, which I should be able to use to control the horizontal resolution, but the SMS has two horizontal resolutions, 256 pixels and 248 pixels (whenever there’s horizontal scrolling one row of tiles is used to process it and not drawn onscreen). If it just always outputs 256 and sometimes the left column is blank then I’m all set. If the resolution changes between 248 and 256 then I’ll wind up with uneven scaling from one or the other. I’m probably overthinking it.

This was me a year ago!I know this is good advice but at the same time I’m looking at various components and planning how I’ll make an enclosure and checking out arcade sticks and reading about connecting an iPad screen and looking at the source code on GitHub to try and figure out how the scalers work (I have not used a programming language in almost two decades) and freaking out about electrostatic discharge. I should probably calm down.
Anyway, I got my shipping notification. Estimated delivery Monday.
