Also played a lot of Doom, ROTT, duke3d and Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Loved playing them with friends over modem on sundays. Back then, even local phone calls used to be super expensive in my country, so we took advantage of the flat rate on sundays, we could play for hours paying the same as we'd pay for a short voice call. 😂

Very happy that your kitty is feeling better! DOS gaming is great! I highly recommend the eXoDOS project. It is an incredible DOS game preservation project. There is a light version that only downloads games that you want to play (I, of course, downloaded the whole thing. Gotta preserve!). I also love that it includes all the 'feelies' that came with most DOS games back in the day. Zork is a simple game, but it came with so many feelies. One of the reason I absolutely love DOS and retro PC gaming.

Awesome. I've been wanting to play more DOS games but was installing them the really manual way which was painful. This looks way easier. Last I tried it seemed to be impossible to play the games at 240p on a CRT using direct video (I don't have the mister analog I/O board). A lot of these DOS games were 320x200 but linedoubled for VGA. Outputting the non-linedoubled video to a 15 kHz CRT would be great.

Amazing collection to have, will be installing this on the 2nd SD card slot as I really nice/fast way to play the best DOS games, the MT32-Pi MiSTer add-on really shows how much better the MiSTer audio sound generation quality is (not sampled/sequenced sound which MiSTer 100% fine with as is) when it uses a companion CPU/Processor, the DE10 FPGA just works better with some extra processing clout when it comes to real-time synth sound generation, would be great if the MT32-Pi MiSTer could be used for arcade & consoles that also have powerful real-time synth sound, I know this is partly down to RAM latency and timings (lack of sub 40ns SRAM etc).

Sadly, I'm having issues with the video output for the core. Any game that doesn't run at 60hz (which is a lot), doesn't work on my TV for some reason. The video keeps cutting out and only occasionally kicks back in for a like a split second. Frustrating!

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

Welcome to the weird world of DOS refresh rates. You could play around with scaler settings in INI I bet

@METR0lD 3 месяца назад

I'm honestly just confused why it's a problem with this core specifically, and not any of the other cores. I use an LG C3 OLED, and I run arcade cores that don't run at 60hz at their intended refresh rates (e.g., Item M72 at 55hz), I run PAL games on the console cores at 50hz, the Wonderswan core at 75hz, etc. All without issue.

The original Doom does not have any way to configure it for more modern controls. You can set it to walk/backpedal with keyboard and turn with the mouse but you can’t take walk/backpedal off of the mouse. This means your mouse is always intruding on your walk/run speed unless you physically modify it to disable the vertical axis. I’m basically going for “mouselook” controls even though the game can’t look up and down. Is it possible to configure it this way on MiSTer?

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

@OneAngryDeacon 3 месяца назад

I guess I have 3 thoughts after this:- 1. How far fowards does the AO486 core go? I presume a 486 core should have enough power to run Windows 3.1, but can it be configured up to a Pentium/Win95 or P2MMX/Win98. What about other components like decoders (some PC games have better versions that require hardware like a ReelMagic or a DVD/Mpeg Decoder) or Voodoo & other 3d accelerator cards? Presumably they can run on FPGA but is there enough dye available to the DE10? Some arcade games in the 90s, like Hydro Thunder, ran on Voodoo cards so it could have more than one use. Is this more for something on later FPGAs? B. I have a collection of actual MIDI modules, is it possible to connect that to the MiSTer for this and cores like PC-88 & Sharp 68k instead? Don't get me wrong the MT32 is extremely cool and I'm glad it exists. 3. Will you cover the ScummVM core, I believe it doesn't use any of the FPGA but it capable of using the MiSTer's AV output and so forth. I think it runs totally on the Linux side. Does the MiSTer Linux hardware have enough power to run the SVGA ScummVM games like Blade Runner with simultaneous full screen FMV and 3D characters assets? Many thanks, and congratulations for reaching the end of my egregiously long comment nobody asked for

It doesn’t play nice with 240p

@Mong00se22 3 месяца назад

My CRT and my plasma screen wont display these games properly. They just flicker or show garbled garbage. What resolution is best for this setup?

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

Line doubled VGA seems to do the best for CRT. For HDMI it’s all over the board

I really wouldn't dare to speculate about that without knowing the resource usage of the current core. With wizards like Robert and Sergiy, you never know what may come next. 😅

@AndyDo 3 месяца назад

You have to exit (f5) and edit the rungame.bat file to launch with the r command. Once you edit that, relaunch.

What’s the best path to editing the rungame.bat? When I try to do it in the command line with the edit command I end up getting softlocked on a blue screen

@kosmosyche 3 месяца назад

Your Doom music sample sounds completely wrong. I think it is because you are using MT32-pi hat and Roland MT-32 is not a General Midi sound card (it predates the standard by several years and uses it's own instruments sets and mappings) and Doom doesn't support MT-32 as far as I remember.

Something is wrong with your doom midi music at 9:32 you should be hearing guitars not percussion. Sounds like steel drums or timpani's are playing instead of the guitar.

Probably an odd setup combo of instruments. You can make it do anything really

Clickbait. Core isn't updated, this is just a packaging method and it's pointless when most DOS games use the same baseline configuration.

@russellgolden7546 3 месяца назад

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

Lol the title nor the video does not state the core has been updated

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

@atsz. 3 месяца назад

tbf, the title does say "core gets a huge upgrade." which does make it sound like the core was updated.

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

All the videos with core updates use the word update 🤷🏻‍♂️ 0MHZ is an upgrade to what the old system of playing games was. So it makes sense to me

@MrBorderdown 3 месяца назад

I really wish you'd stop deleting my comments. This pack is pointless when 99% of the games run off the same baseline VHD / Dos configuration. Ao486 has tons of performance and compatibility issues as well. It needs serious work but it's been abandoned forever now.

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

I am not deleting your comments. YT is. This comment is here undeleted. You can find it pointless. Doesn’t mean it is

@KokoTheGorilla69 3 месяца назад

It's really not pointless because if you only want 30 or so games from the DOS top 300 pack, you can download the titles you want individually at a much smaller file size than installing a 20GB download when you only want to play 400MB worth of games 🫵🏼🤡
