Genesis Core

[arit]

@arit
I've tested Landstalker and I don't have the issues in your screenshots.
Some noob questions, are you running in PAL mode or with CPU Turbo?

Like I said, the text box issue has been fixed since the 0617 release.
Currently I can spot the issue when changing screens in form of status bar flickering(minor) and that sprites get drawn beyond the normal bottom frame. How this manifests can be influenced by the overclock where with normal settings there a two scanlines beyond the bottom border and (mostly) just one on high, medium lets the second scanline flicker.
I have tested this with with video modes 0 and 8 and for both with vsync_adjust 0 and 2.

Sorry I misunderstood your post.
Can you please try in BlastEm emulator, which the core based on.

Landstalker really must be doing some dirty things
2. Some defect where it draws sprites 2-3 scanlines beyond the background tiles.

Seems a good example that DE off should affects sprites, too (like previously).

Same issue. Tried changing from low lag to match display frequency, still no picture. Any other ideas or is there something else going on here?

[Sorgelig]

for me it works on 1080p vsync_adjust=2

works for me, same settings.

Tried this, black screen. Nothing I have done will rectify it. This is just since the latest build.

Matching to core frequency gets the display to show, but it will flash black intermittently.

[Sorgelig]

try this version:

Genesis.zip

try this version:
Genesis.zip

This one worked for me! No issues at all on either Low Latency, Match Console, or Match Display Frequency.

Thanks!

Tried this release of the Genesis core and still shows 8 errors in VDP FIFO Testing, MiST core shows right now only 1 error. The errors are DMA based, could this be sorted on MiSTer?

[Sorgelig]

MiSTer uses the same VDP code. Probably it's originally tweaked for MiST which uses SDRAM for VRAM. MiSTer uses BRAM for VRAM.

Those failing DMA tests are from the unused bits reading the VDP status register.

what you mean? is it outside of VDP?

This is how it's done in MiST:

And NO_DATA is definitely not an LFSR.

But I think we discussed this last year

Picture Quality on latest core is not good anymore.

Have a slight flicker in the picture. Good to see on static screens. Menu on Genesis core is somehow out of focus.

My Benq says Resolution is 1921*1080

I keep losing HDMI signal with latest build as well.

Did you update to the build uploaded yesterday?

It seems to fix the issue that was happening with the previous build.

[Zorlac]

Yes, I have the build from 08/21/2019.

[Xtro]

Latest Genesis core passes 121 from 122 tests in VDP FIFO Testing, thanks for VDP fixes

Genesis sound is messed up and with HDMI the game sometimes does not load, giving me a black screen on vsync_adjust 2. All updated.

[kikusui]

I'm also having issues with the Genesis core, updated tonight (23rd August build). I get sound from HDMI but no video. Tried the Snes core and that seems ok for me as does the main menu so I think it's isolated to the Genesis core.

As a side affect, upon rebooting the Mister/DE-10 I don't get a picture from the MiSTer. Then switching to any TV channel I get sound and no picture and have to power down the TV and then turn it back on again. It's a Sony Bravia which I know has been mentioned somewhere on this forum previously as exhibiting the odd issue with MiSTer which is solved by a CEC Less HDMI adapter (can't find the thread at the moment). It seems as if the MiSTer Genesis core is giving out a signal that the TV doesn't like, and to get a picture back (either with MiSTer, normal television or anything else) I have to power down the TV and then power on again (full TV powerdown). I'm set up to use MiSTer at 1080p over HDMI. I'm not using the new analogue over HDMI that's recently been implemented.

(Just providing as much info as I possibly can!)

[JamesF]

Seems like HDMI output is broken in the last 23rd August release.
On my display it looks like the r,g,b pixels are misaligned.

[Sorgelig]

I think it should be fixed in today's release
