I see on google (mentioned in one release page) that it has something to do with profile support, but there is no link to it, or other explanation. Thanks for helping, foft!

Blues76 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 @foft Hi. Thank you for doing this. I have been following the thread but I haven’t done anything. Today, with newer boards, what would you recommend me to buy to work on this? Should I still use the DE-1 or do you recommend other options ?

For a multi-device take a look at the mist, mister and turbo chameleon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I highly recommend the MiSTer if you're going multi system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having an Eclaire, I didn't realize those instructions also applied to the MIST. F11 + V set it to VGA, and I'm now looking at a friendly menu. Thanks so much! I can now boot to the core, and set the VGA mode, but I can't figure out how to load a disk. I used to go into the MIST OSD menu to select one. I see F8+Enter is supposed to launch a prompt, but I'm not seeing that happen. Oddly, I'm getting "Internal server errors" on a lot of the links in the Eclaire wiki right now.

Thanks I’m aware there is a mister forum. I was looking at some links that recommend the pieces that one need (de-10 nano board, etc.) https://www.retrorgb.com/mister.html https://hothardware.com/reviews/mister-diy-console-fpga https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki Im going to follow what I found but if you or anyone has recommendation, they are welcome.

dylanmc Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Things are working great, except colors seem off in some games, and the game Sea Dragon's horizontal scrolling is jerkier than on the original machine. http://atariprojects.org/2019/05/18/play-sea-dragon-on-your-atari-8-bit-computer-15-60-mins/ Here's a video of it running more smoothly: Edited November 17, 2020 by dylanmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Sounds like pal vs ntsc I’ll check in any case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly me: I thought modern multisync monitors & VGA took that off the table, but I understand that when emulating this old hardware, it's still a factor. I'm using NTSC settings, and it's connected to a NEC multisync monitor via VGA on the MIST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgreefhorst Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) I bought a SiDi MIST clone, but the atari800 core leads to a black screen, and a return to the menu. Any idea what could cause this? I have upgraded to the latest firmware, put a800xl.rom in the root of the SD card, and tried previous versions of the atari800 core with the same result. I also tried F11 + V, putting a settings file in atari800/rom and putting sdflash.bin in atari800/rom.
