Thank you for the explanation. I had never seen or heard about that controller. It doesn't look like it is readily available, why would you support it on your board? Is there any other way of getting the full keypad matrix? Because of your info, i will hold off purchasing the Zx-uno board until maybe you finish your project. Still only having one core per SD card and different formatting? As I want it more for more systems not just Coleco. I have no Coleco carts and would play them off an SD card. It appears to me that this board is really only made to play one core.And you are going to make a better Colecovision system with cart support and more.

What is F18 and the SNES NTT data port you speak of?

Thanks for letting me know about the Zx-Uno. I didn't know it existed. I would be interested in running the Coleco and other cores on this board. Spectrum not being one of them. I downloaded the manual and boy does it seem complicated to run (or maybe the translation and including all the programming stuff makes it seem that way) What is your experience with it so far? Have you tried any of the other cores? The price is right but does not seem as easy as MIST computer. can you have multiple cores on SD card at same time?

Kevtris, Not sure what the Core Store is, could you explain? Do you plan on offering just the cores without a whole Firmware update containing them all? As you mentioned earlier, you are halfway done with cores you plan on releasing for NT Mini. After these 20 cores, will you start work on Zimba 3000? Will you stop releasing cores for NT Mini? As some of the systems you plan to release use a keypad or keyboard like O2 how ill that be implemented? If you can do O2 could you do Atari 5200? I am so glad you are doing some of the less popular systems like RCA Studio and Channel F, Astrocade etc. I never had the urge to buy the NT Mini for NES only but your firmware and added cores is making me think hard about purchasing it. You seem very busy with NT Mini firmware right now, but any update on Zimba 3000 would be appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work!

If you are talking about the Concerto, we have not heard from Fred at all this year. The few of us that have the beta units have varying success with the cart. I have two 7800s and one one will not play anything without crashing, freezing or other problems. My second unit plays about 80-90 % of games. neither of them work with the Pokey installed, even with my good unit, With a Pokey install on Concerto, It causes the game load to freeze. His last communication with us is he was having personal problems and said he would work on Concerto this year. Are you still considering making an SD cart for 7800?. I think if you can get a working one out there soon there will be a market for it. I would buy it. Right how we are all hoping for a firmware update or a hardware solution as to why it does not work on all of our 7800's.

Have you tried a composite or s-video mod? Simple to do and cheap. Why keep putting all this effort into cleaning up an RF signal that will never be as good as a composite or s-video mod?

Thanks Tony, very helpful info.

Thanks for the video Arenafoot. i actually though the red moving black was a power swing indicator! i guess it is just a moving obstacle. Looks like he is approaching the ball from a far distance away (i was right up on it)

So I tried playing the built in Miniature Golf game on the AFP., but cant seem to get the ball to move more than a tiny bit. What is the proper way of hitting the ball?

Wrathchild, Would you be able to take a stab at converting another of my favorite A8 games? Stealth I would spend hours trying to destroy that tower! Oh, Still can't leave a PM, mailbox full.

As I don't own a NT Mini (yet) are the cores part of the firmware? I don't see any mention of this on the Analogue website. Is This something Kevtris is doing on his own? Do all these cores show up in a menu? Game roms loaded by SD card? How did he implement the colecovision keypad?

Why are there two NTSC files in the zip/ (L.E.M 13..the latest?)

So what core are currently available on the NT Mini?

i thought Dkvcs worked on the AFP. I get a torn title screen and the game on 1/2 screen (upper). I grabbed it from this thread.

Recalbox has O2 emulation and it works well. It is also much easier to config and set up. The downside, Recalbox does not have as many emulators (no colecovision, intellivision or 5200/800xl) and you can't just add them, you have to wait for next Recalbox build. Also when it comes to MAME (arcade) you can select which emulator core to play a particular rom. Example, Juno First (arcade) will not play on Recalbox but will on Retropie (when you select the right emulator core). Retropie also lets you select how you want your games to be displayed per emulator or rom (480, 720 1080 etc) I have tried lakka and haven't had any luck. could not get a working PI3 image. For an easy to setup system go with Recalbox. If you need all the systems and like to configure, go with Retropie. Try Lakka last..

This latest version does not play nicely on the AFP. I get a colored screen only.

Hi, As I have many emulation systems, I have gathered a ton of roms. There are many duplicates, hacks, misspellings, PAL etc.. All in different formats, ZIP, .bin etc. The only way I see of cleaning them up is manually. Does anyone have any better suggestions? Also, I know what (U) (E) and (J) stand for but what about roms with (a1) (B2) (!) mean? How did you clean up yours and what was the results.?

Dropzone runs fine on Atarimax Ultimate SD cartridge.

Is there a .bin available of this? even a demo or RC release?

Another great conversion Wrathchild !!! Your conversions makes my 5200 my favorite system!

Anyone heard from Batari? Would sure like to know if he is working on Concerto.

Anyone have the ZX81 Basic manual in PDF form that they could attach? No luck finding a downloadable copy. Thanks

Good work Flojomojo on getting Duke up and running! Duke, glad you are up and running and can enjoy your AFB as much as we all do. Crossbow, yep i got a 12 ft cable made for audio that was mentions somewhere in the Flashback threads here ($4.99 from amazon) and it works great, red is the Video and White is audio out. I can sit back on the couch and enjoy my AFB on my 60" LCD!

dgregjones, Just take the Game folder with the .bin files and place only that folder on your formatted SD card. make sure you have no other folder on the SD card. i sent you a PM if you are still having trouble.

Do you have a Games folder on the SD card? Do all the game files start with an UPPER CASE letter and the rest lowercase? Do they end in .bin? Maximum SD card size is 8 GB?
