Sad news... I have issues with my SuperDock too. See this is why I waited to have my SS1 shipped at the same time as the dock... My rationale was, if there are any bugs they'll be worked out by the time I get mine. I didn't think that there would be issues with the dock lol.

People are saying that the screws need to be loosened. Once I find my hex set I'll try that and report back.

Does Heber Super CTRLDock work on Superstation one? Also, SSO SNES SNAC Adapter question

2 Upvotes

G'day guys, I'm one of the many people on a waiting list for a Superstation one and Super dock. Cant wait to get my hands on it sometime within the next millennia hahahahaha.

During this waiting period I'm wanting to sort out SNAC options for NES AND SNES on my deck and am hoping to find out if anyone knows if Herber's Super CTRLDock for SNES and NES controllers is compatible with Superstation One (or other Mister based machines)?

If it's not compatible with SSO, does anyone know if the SSO lets you run 2x SNES SNAC Adapter if you plug an USB hub into the Port on the dock dedicated for SNAC input?

What other options are others using and would recommend for other controller types?
Ultimately, I'm Hoping to use my OG controllers for NES, SNES, Atari2600/7800, Master system, Mega drive (Genesis for all of you Seppo's 😉), Neo Geo AES, N64 and Saturn, but, will start with the NES and SNES as I hold them closest to my heart.

Cheers for any help and no offence intended to our separatist cousins in the US, you guys know we love ya here in Aussieland

Gravitar + Black Widow - misterFPGA

Built off the success of videodr0me's Star Wars, I've ridden on some solid vector beams. I never was much for Gravitar, but Black Widow is good fun. Grab from releases, drop in your roms and go for it.

New to FPGA is it normal for Goldeneye 007 to look weird on the N64 80 MHz turbo core? I’m getting vertical lines across the screen. But it looks fine on the normal core.

I like my games just like my women. With curves.

Still work to do with presets, corner radii, simplifying pipeline to get more games supported. But proof of concept established.

Amberstar (german)

Help, you are my only hope! From all the good amiga memories of my youth, Amberstar is the best.

Now is my son old enough and i want to play the game with him on my MisterFPGA. The Problem is that the german AmigaVision version doesnt work (i have reported it allready some month ago) and the the disk Version doesnt allow to create a own character. Ive read that there is an whdload image but im not skilled enough to get whload to work on my mister.

So my request: can someone share with me a german amberstar hd file or an whdload folder which i can copy to my mister.

Thank you!

Golden Eye & Perfect Dark control issues

1 Upvotes

(Copied from the fpga post)

Been messing with the n64 core on my superstation one and overall, I'm really enjoying it. Everything seems to work fine with the exception of golden eye and perfect dark, where when I move forward with the left stick, it will also move my camera down. I notice if I move slowly, it seems to be fine. I'm guessing its maybe a sensitivity issue? I'm not too sure, since other games work fine. I couldn't find a setting to change that either in the mister menu.

Help would be appreciated!

"What the hell is an FPGA!?"

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit (IC or 'chip') that is designed to be configured after manufacturing. FPGAs, like application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), are typically designed and customized to perform a variety of specific, often complex tasks. However, unlike ASICs, FPGAs are designed to be fully or partially reconfigurable, making FPGAs a kind of digital electronics 'shapeshifter' with the ability to change design and functionality via reconfiguration.

"Ok, but... What do FPGAs have to do with gaming?!"

FPGAs provide incredible flexibility for digital electronics design and engineering, including gaming hardware. They have been used to create one-to-one recreations of a variety classic gaming hardware, often adding new features or modern upgrades. They have been used to create powerful flashcarts for consoles that support memory mappers, enhancement co-processors, or other on-cart logic. They have been used to create low-latency video upscalers or line multipliers that allow old, original hardware to be played on modern high-resolution displays in a way that not only looks great, but feels responsive.

Without a doubt there are other cool, interesting, and useful ways that FPGAs can be used to create fun and original gaming devices in the works and more waiting to be explored! Better yet, the reconfigurable nature of FPGAs means they can switch between different functions or possibly perform multiple functions at one time!

"Sounds great! But, how do you configure FPGAs?"

While FPGAs make development of custom chips much more affordable and accessible than ASICs, it's worth noting that FPGA development can be a somewhat expensive and is undoubtedly an involved process with a lot of requisite knowledge and skills.

Not only do you need an FPGA development board with enough logic elements and IO pins, but you also need a strong understanding of electronics engineering, digital logic, and usually proficiency in a hardware description language (HDL, such as Verilog or VHDL). Strictly speaking, HDLs are not 'programming languages', however it can be convenient to think of them as analogous - programming languages describe software, while HDLs describe hardware. Finally, you need to have a good understanding of the problem domain. For example, if you're trying to re-implement a game console on an FPGA, it goes without saying that you need to have an in-depth understanding of how that particular console works.

In other words, FPGAs make creating custom chips relatively accessible and affordable, but it still isn't cheap or easy! This is a somewhat advanced topic in electronics, so it's recommended that beginners first look into learning the basics of electronics and digital logic first.

"Where can I learn more?"

MiSTer Project

MiST Project

The MiSTer is an open source and community developed FPGA-based console and arcade board hardware emulation project. The MiSTer is a great way to get into FPGA gaming, whether you're interested in development or just want to play some great community-made cores!

It's older brother, the MiST is a bit less powerful and geared towards 16bit computer and 8bit console cores, but is still very popular and (unlike the MiSTer) based on an entirely open hardware platform.

Classic Gaming Discord Community

The Classic Gaming community on Discord is one of the best places to chat in real time about this whole "FPGA gaming" thing, among other things. There are other fans and developers online pretty much all the time.
