Following a request from a user on the MiSTer forum and since I was looking at making some changes to the Scramble core anyway I decided to add support for the game Cavelon.
It uses rom banking which had to be added in, and once I got that working I discovered that I also needed to add a new sprite banking method as well.
Once the pull request has been merged you will be able to play this difficult game on the MiSTer.
(well I have not managed to complete the first level yet anyway)
Well, what a weird year it has been so far. I’ve been learning to code in VHDL and Verilog on the MiSTer platform. The first task was one I have wanted to do since I bought an FPGA Replay was to take the existing Bally Arcadia console core, add in the necessary extra ram, pattern…
One of the first things I did on the MiSTer once I had acquired a setup was to take the code for the Astrocade console, add in the additional hardware used by the arcade versions of the games to see if I could get them running. (See original post here) Following that I then decided…
The problem with the high score saving for Gorf and Wizard of Wor should now be resolved. You can now see the settings menu when the OSD button is pressed, although background will be black or just stars, which allows you to change the settings once more. Reloading the scores will no longer cause other…
It seems that Coin Op Collection have completed a Snow Bros core for MiSTer before I did. Not really surprising since I have taken ages on this one. I had suffered from one of the same problems as they did, so at least I was on the right track. For the moment I will look…
Version 2.2 of the PCB built for Gorf including the 5v regulation to power the MiSTer direct from the cabinet’s power supply. This version uses a 2 amp version of the 7805 regulator and a couple of smoothing capacitors and takes power from the 12v line on the cabinet. An alternate version uses a commonly…
I have removed the downloads for the images with High Score saving for the moment as I have found a couple of problems during further testing. They will be back when I sort out these problems!
