Time to Hunt
PLEASE GET THE FILES FROM THE MOST RECENT BETA POST
(español abajo)
Development of the CPS2 core has progressed. Some GFX glitches are gone now (formerly visible in CSCLUB/MPANG), and there is now support for 16MB GFX games. These are the titles for this week:
-All 16MB version Mighty! Pang
-Puzz Loop 2
-Alien vs Predator
AvsP is one of the most popular titles in this system. It is fully playable without major problems, but please report any oddities you may find.
Sorgelig helped me setting up the ROM download in a faster way. That involved a firmware file change, so be sure to have your MiSTer updated. Thanks to that change, even the new larger games load up rather quickly.
I have been working in the CPS1 core too. Grego2D made another DMA test, which we verified on the actual PCB. I implemented it, but it isn't fully tested yet.
I spent two sessions on the bug introduced in JT51 when I fixed the Willow music, but it is proving elusive. I am targetting to have it ready for next week.
Enjoy your weekend!

El desarrollo del cor de CPS2 avanza sin parar. Algunos fallos de GFX ya han desaparecido (antes visibles en CSCLUB / MPANG), y ahora hay soporte para juegos de 16MB de GFX. Estos son los títulos de esta semana:
-Todas la versiones de 16 MB de Mighty! Pang
-Puzz Loop 2
-Alien vs Predator
AvsP es uno de los títulos más populares de este sistema. Es completamente jugable sin mayores problemas, pero por favor, dad parte de cualquier cosa rara que veais.
Sorgelig me ayudó a configurar la descarga de ROM de una manera más rápida. Eso acarreó un cambio de archivo de firmware, así que aseguraos de tener la MiSTer actualizada. Gracias a ese cambio, incluso los nuevos juegos más grandes se cargan con bastante rapidez.
También he estado trabajando en el cor de CPS1. Grego2D realizó otra prueba de DMA, que verificamos en la PCB real. Lo implementé, pero aún no está completamente probado.
Pasé dos sesiones trabajando en el error introducido en el JT51 cuando arreglé la música de Willow, pero está resultando difícil de cazar. Mi objetivo es tenerlo listo para la próxima semana.
¡Disfrutad del fin de semana!

Excellent! I’m glad to hear it :-)
Wow! Appreciate such a quick response. Ok, I can indeed see and navigate the yellow core OSD in both games. I am running on a CRT via component.. Is this maybe an issue? I will try and find other ROM files. Thanks Jose!
Black screen on boot up for me.. both 19xx and AVP.. tried both merged and split rom files.. tried main "Euro"? MRA's as well as the USA alts.. have all files needed and recently updated. 128MB SD RAM. Thnx.
If you can see a yellow OSD, then the problem is the ROM files. If you cannot see the core OSD, then you’re missing the RBF. You can check the core version in the OSD about screen
ok. The core file is on the core folder (_Arcade\cores). The MRA files are in _Arcade. And the rom in games\mame. I am still getting a black screen in AVP (ando also the other games). Is there a script I need to run? Or did I do something wrong with the file strutcture?
That should work. I except if you’ve got a 32MB SDRAM. I broke the compatibility with it by mistake on this build. I’m fixing it now. Otherwise, it should work.
In which folder do i put the rom files in?
In games\mame
Anyone able to move left in avp?
Hi there. I just got my mister and still learning the basics. I tried booting the CPS2 games but they did not work. I am just getting a black screen. Is there a basic tutorial for dummies lol?
Hi there. Yes, I did. It is probably something with the folder structure.
I have a problem with AvP, the game not start, i use alternatives and normal realese and never work( black screen and i can only change core options ). the others games work, great works
Is there a tutorial on how to put the files in the arcade/core, I see some zipped files do we place those in the core as is?
1. Uncompress the _Arcade.zip in your MiSTer _Arcade folder. 2. Copy the cores folder to your _Arcade folder This should get you all the MRA files in _Arcade and the RBF file in _Arcade/cores 3. Run the update_all script 4. Enjoy
For anyone trying AvP for the first time: the game, by default, disables sound for the opening demo before you put a coin in. So instead of going through an hour of looking for qsound fixes, try going into the test menu and enabling demo sound =D
Buenas Jose, antes de nada, excelente trabajo, parece increible que que sistemas como el cps2 esten funcionando en fpga, muchos animos en tu trabajo.Estoy probando el core beta en una mistica, y me he econtrado con dos problemas, el primero es que suena muyyyyy bajo, y si subo el volumen del televisor, el sonido distorsiona, se escucha mal.Esto tiene solucion?el segundo problema que he encontrado, es que he sido incapaz de crear las roms del juego "_Mega Man The Power Battle" y derivados, simplemente cuando uso mra, se queda como pensando y luego acaba sin hacer nada, es un problema de las "mra"?he porbado a comprimir y descomprimir las roms por si era problema del zip, pero me sigue pasando lo mismo.Un saludo y excelente trabajo!muchos animos!
Esto lo he comentado hace poco aquí (https://github.com/jotego/jtbin/issues/183). No hay mucho margen de mejora. Puedo permitir que el volumen se fuerce desde el OSD y quizá en algunos títulos concretos funcione bien durante la mayoría del juego. Es una limitación del sistema, que con algunos tipos de sintetizador es más notable.
Question that may have been asked, should the downloader be pulling game files or will I need to supply my own? It doesn't seem to grab anything when I try the script.
Nevermind, got it figured out. Thanks!
Truly EPIC
Super! Thanks for your effort once again :)
One of my fav CPS II games - thanks so much for the hard work! :)
Thanks so much for your hard work! It was such a joy to play through Aliens vs Predator. You have given so many people so much joy, what an awesome thing.
Just done a play through of AVP and haven’t seen any major issues, possibly some of the shadows on the aliens appear a couple of frames late but can’t confirm that happens on real hardware, but totally awesome work again, you have my thanks!!!
I'll keep an eye open just in case.
Great works on the core ! I love it, been showing all my friends.
Are there additional files I need to download for MiSTer beyond the attached ZIP and running update_all? I've tried both Option a) and Option b) in the instructions and still get a black screen. Any advice? This is my first time running an unofficial/beta core in MiSTer.
I am having the same issue!
I just want to add that everything is working correctly for me. Thank you Jotego!
Absolutely Amazing Work Brother Much Love and Respect
Excellent work as usual, AVP is probably Capcom's best beat em up, hopefully we'll see Super Street Fighter next week!
Great work Jose! Awesome to see cps2 being constantly improved each week.
Great work mate!
After loading the rom´s, screen is always black. Mister was updatet too, no funktion for me.
Be sure to remove the CPS2 beta 1 core file and update with the beta 2.
Obrigado! 👍
Thank you so much for the great work!! AVP is one of my favorite beat em up of all time. Found memories of playing it 3 players in an arcade in the late 90's and early 2000s. Used to be able to 1CC it, let's see how I fare after so many years. Cheers from Brazil!
I’m glad to hear from you Bruno! Enjoy your visiting to Brazil
alie rom does not work
Be sure to update MiSTer to get the latest firmware
ok jtdd lol
alien vs predator no ok
Thank you
I'm getting no sound in bootup or intro with Alien vs Predator. Only when you start the game. Any suggestions?
attract mode music is not on by default you will have to wait until Jotego makes a method to change dip switches
I'm I going mad or was the .rbf file named 'dd' earlier?
Yes, for a split second
Awesome Alien vs Predator is just one of my favourite CPS2 titles, thanks.
SSF 2 is 16 mb?
It boots now but there are some bad problems with the backgrounds, so it isn't ready yet
Excellent work!! Thank you!!
Arigato!
Superb! Loving Alien vs Predator - Thanks Again Jose :)
This is great. Thank you.
Is this the correct core thats been included?
It should be called jtcps2. jtdd was there by mistake for a couple of minutes.
Amazing, thank you!
Thanks again!
Brilliant! Thanks :)
Gracias Jose! Un gran trabajo 👍
Thanks, looks like I got new plans for the weekned!
seems like the wrong core is included in the Mister Folder - DD core
It’s fixed now. Sorry!
Thanks Jotego 👏👏👏👏
Awww I thought we would see Tower of Doom as well but... 16 gfx opens a lot right?
It does!
Thanks!! The zip for mister however has filename "jtdd_20210305.rbf", no CPS2 rbf.
Sorry, I was working on it today and got in the zip by mistake. It's fixed now.
Dont seem to have a cps2 core file in the cores folder, just one that is jtdd, is this correct that we dont need to replace the cps2 core or is it missing from the zip file?
Just download it again, sorry.
Either wrong core or wrong core name in zip (jtdd_20210305.rbf)
Sorry, Double Dragon got there somehow. Just download it again
You're legendary man, thank you!
¡Gracias!
no new core in this zip?
Download it again, please
Bravo José !
Can’t thank you enough!
Just got the Mister back out of its cage.
Thanks so much!!! This is the one I was waiting for!
Thank you Jose!
