I don't believe anyone has figured out a solution for this. In theory you could enable the vga scaler for each core and set the resolution to 240p/480p, then rotate might work? Not entirely sure as I haven't needed to work it that way.
That would be odd, those updates are about timing things and broader memory compatibility iirc. I'm not up to date to test though. It's a minor pain for me to do it so I'm usually behind.
I see, thanks. Will just have to wait and see if anyone else reports a similar issue.
in the mean time, try to manually map the button and see if that fixes it. If so, let me know and I'll do the same on my end. No real easy way of updating the mapping files remoetely, unfortunately. They're too numerous for scripts to handle gracefully.
Thanks! There's some changes to the input mapping system but I haven't figured out if that helps with the 1700 mappings that I have. There are 2 current issues: 1) 1700 individual files fill up small SD cards quickly due to sd card block size (32kB I think), and 2) how to handle user mappings that differ from the mistercade mappings (overwrite or skip)?
93_66nIH8YI was planning on doing a more complex MiSTercade VS that allowed 1 MiSTercade to connecto to many cabinets. I first made a hat that passes video and audio from cabinet to cabinet but the video integrity fell apart. So I made a new revision that includes video amplification at each stage. Sadly, the video is not much better. As a result, I grabbed the first prototype, made a few tweaks and, thanks to your recommendations, have decided to make a simpler 2 cabinet version that will support up to 4 players total. The VS cabinets are connected by 1 fully wired HDMI cable (all 19 pins, not just 14), and 1 USB cable. I've opted to run the cables through the 30mm hole in my Astro City cabinets so they are out of sight and out of mind. Check out this video and ask any questions you might have here or on Twitter.

I think that's a great compromise and perfect for me personally. Get all those 3p and 4p games running while saving space and keeping the solution simple, reliable, and inexpensive.I was planning on doing a more complex MiSTercade VS that allowed 1 MiSTercade to connect to many cabinets.

Unfortunately, the HDMI audio/video on the XL isn't a standard HDMI signal. You can use an HDMI splitter though and yeah, just connect USB. The trick with the PRas3 cabinets is to convert from JVS to JAMMA, but maybe you already have that coveredI think that's a great compromise and perfect for me personally. Get all those 3p and 4p games running while saving space and keeping the solution simple, reliable, and inexpensive.
I may plan on using the MisterCade in my PRas3 HD cabs (straight to HDMI/USB)... and so for linking:
Could I use the Mistercade XL Video/Audio HDMI port connector straight into an HD cab setup and just connect the USB from P2 into the MisterCade?
I am hoping that'll work, since the Mister does HDMI/VGA at the same time - so HDMI/HDMI would be awesome with the extra port, but would like to confirm.
Great stuff, can't wait to get my hands on a couple VS Breakout boards. My XLs and cases are on the way!
Let me get a 100% working board that doesn't have bodge wires first and check microcontroller availability.
Maybe I'll leave the daisy chain video port on there but I've tested with 4 cabinets and it... doesn't look good. Based on the responses I got here, best to get the 90% use case covered first. Analog video splitting beyond 2 cabinets will require video buffering. Audio buffering is a bit harder than video buffering. In any case, I'm not giving up on 3+ cabinet linking but I can't spend tons of time on a feature for very few users at the moment.
Woo, I had just been referencing the manual after moving my MiSTercade around and updates are definitely welcome. I have a few questions now that it's been done though...
