Forgotten Worlds: CPS Release Candidate
FILES ATTACHED.
We're finally here. The last beta file brings suppot to what was the first CPS game: Forgotten Worlds. This title uses a rotary control which needs a specific interface that took some work to implement. Although I have not connected the dial inputs to MiSTer pins yet, all the real hardware is there. At the moment you will use two buttons to rotate the characters. When I can get my hands on a dial solution for MiSTer I will try to support it.
This week is special too because the core has achieved the Release Candidate stage. I think the core is now mature enough to go to the next phase. There is still a little bit of work pending but I am going to need some test material I'm waiting for at the moment.
The Release Candidate MiSTer version is also based on the latest official MiSTer framework. So all features should work as on any updated MiSTer cores.
If you are a high tier member, please check that the way your name and avatar image are displayed in the credits screen is the right one. Please contact me if anything needs fixing.
This version is still not public but it is the candidate to become public. Remember to delete old MRA files.
CPS has been an awesome platform to bring back to life. I am very grateful for all your support and inputs during development.

Jose, does Forgotten Worlds support the real Capcom spinners for the game? I'm trying to see if I can set them up with the Mister to test.
As of today it doesn't, but if there is a specific device that people can adopt within MiSTer, we can add support for it.
I recently picked up a Daimakaimura A+B+C combo from ebay. It is original CPS hardware with reproduction ROMs. The aboard is the 12mhz - Dash board, which is 2 mhz faster than the original CPS hardware. The reproduction rom used is the Japan Resale rom. I can say that with the turbo option turned on, the CPS mister core is almost exactly the same as the real hardware. Awesome job! It you are interested to know the differences, I'd be happy to share. They are very minor.
That’s interesting. Dai Makaimura is set in the MRA file to run at 10MHz. I think your PCB might be a converted set as the 12MHz games appeared later in the machine life cycle.
Just wanted to chime in on issues showing on my PVM 1344Q. CSYNC doesn't work at all (but works fine with other cores), so I need to turn sync off. Even then, there are strange color issues showing on certain screens. Menus tend to be the worst, where part of the screen is typically black and white, but sometimes in-game i see bands of reduced color. Here are some photos showing the issue on SFII: https://photos.app.goo.gl/wdCWe8FLTHwuBzXt9
Oh, quick note, that was with YPbPr=1. When I turn that off, and switch to RGB on my PVM, the color issue goes away. However, the sync issue remains. (I'd like to be able to use YPbPr though.)
I am experiencing intermittent sync issues too that are noticeable with the Varth game on a Sony PVM 20M2U. However, the sync issues are not observed on a Sony PVM 20L5.
I take note. Thank you
Cannot wait for CPS 1.5. Two of my fav games on all time on it !!!
I have sync issues on my Sony consumer CRT with this version of the core. The previous version runs fine.
Some people have reported that. For others works fine. I think it has to do with updating the MiSTer framework version used. I'm looking into it at the moment.
Another awesome update, thanks for this and the Mister community owes you so much too.
Thanks!
Top notch! I should try very soon :) thank you.
Hola Jose, cuando liberaste los MRA del Pang3 te comenté que tenía problemas con algunos juegos en MIST. Ahora van casi todos excepto Ghouls'n'Ghosts y Final Fight. Parece que hay algún problema con la inicialización de los ficheros de configuración. En GNG lo que he hecho es generar el fichero de config con la versión anterior del CPS1 y asi consigo que funcione el menú de opciones, pero si elimino el fichero de config y uso la version nueva del core, el menu de opciones queda vacio y el juego no funciona bien. En Final Fight carga bien el juego pero al tocar alguna opcion el menu desaparece, solo queda la opcion "exit" y el juego se corrompe en el siguiente reseteo.
Hola Gonzalo, me parece que necesitas actualizar el firmware y borrar los CFG antiguos. A veces una tarjeta SD problemática puede dar estos síntomas también. Ya hubo un usuario así hace un par de semanas. Prueba esas cosas a ver.
Por ultimo comentar, hay alguna forma de entrar en DIP de juegos como Final Fight para poder activar "CONTINUE" en SIDI ?
Si estás generando los ficheros ARC eso debería funcionar ya. Los DIP aparecen en el OSD. Asegúrate de usar él último firmware.
Hey Jose! Thanks for your great work! When will the core get support for full versions of Punisher and Dinosaurs & Cadillacs?
After 20200502 fixing my CRT sync problems, I'm back to having them again. H/V adjust don't do anything other than reposition the image. HDMI looks fine.
También funcionan los SF2 bootlegs "trucados" como Rainbow que en la beta8 no me arrancaban con SIDI.
Buenas, comentar en SIDI ha mejorado bastante los problemas de sincronización que tenia con la beta 8 en tv 15khz, pero la imagen aun no es perfecta como en las betas de Marzo. (EDITO: LA IMAGEN ES PERFECTA USANDO LA SALIDA DIN9 NO HAY PROBLEMAS DE SINCRONIZACION, CON EL CABLE VGA SCART SI QUE EXISTE PROBLEMA) El forgotten worlds cuando intento crear la rom con mra no me la crea, no se si el archivo mra es incorrecto. Por otra parte el Pang 3 que aparecia con graficos corruptos en la beta8 ya funciona perfectamente.
Nemo does not make it past the warning screen for me.
Go to DIP settings and set freeze off.
Thanks Jose, this is was one of my favorites on the Amiga!
Working great here! Thank you!
Congrats on the RC ! Been loving the CPS1 core all the way.
Voir cps1 tourner comme ça ,était un rêve pour moi ,sf2 es magnifique, le mister est un dream maker ,merci jose pour cette performance!!!
Everything looking good so far on mister. Good work! Thank you!
I get lots of graphical corruption on the rom test screen and the title screen, the other CPS1 games work fine. I use the merged Mame 0.220 Rom and my MiSTer has 128 MB.
You might not be using the right MRA/RBF files
Muchas gracias, vamos a probarlo ya mismo!
Thanks again for this!
Thank you very much for Forgoten Worlds and your continued amazing work!!
Fantastic ^ ^
!Gracias!
Fantastic work, as always. Thank you very much!
I'm excited to learn Forgotten Worlds. Thanks for bringing this game to the MiSTer!
Awesome ! Thanks.
Amazing stuff! Thank you!
Thanks for your work JT!
Thanks! Can the mouse left/right be hooked up to analog dial like in the Arkanoid core? Or is that already done?
I didn't think of it, actually.
Excelente Jose, muchas gracias como siempre! Esta placa incorporaba 3 cpu’s 68000 tal y como reza la publi de la epoca?
¡No! No sé si fue un error o una exageración. Llevaba solo un 68000 y un Z80.
Excellent ! Thank you
Cool
Muchas gracias Jose, un gran trabajo como siempre. ¿ Como va a ser esa "dial solution" ? ¿Un spinner db15 con un botón central quizás? ¿Sabes de alguien que lo esté desarrollando? Saludos!
He visto cosas por la red pero creo que nada es oficial.
I’m glad to help support your work
woot!
Yes!
Just wanted to say that you are a great person to do all this work. I wish you a great weekend!
The man, the myth, the legend
Thank you!
