MiSTer MagiK tech preview is out now! It's a new magical front end for your Mister FPGA, with both extreme ease of use and graphical performance. Install instructions in the link. Please help me out by sharing this! github.com/NigelBreslaw...

Does this work with analog output on a CRT?

Yes. But I don’t have a CRT to test myself so am using VGA out on my mister via a HDMI converter. It should support NTSC 240 and 480p and PAL 288p and 576p. The UI might be rather blocky and needs improvement. So if you try it send me a pic and what you want fixing 🙏

Sounds good. I've got it Building Library as we speak.

Do send a pic because I think the CRT UI is terrible at the moment. I’m eager to improve it. Is yours a 60hz crt?

running in 240p60, although this PVM also supports 50. I also have various other monitors to test. Currently only seeing static on the CRT, building library displayed on digital output on my modern TV. Is that normal, for setup?

If you go to settings by pressing up or home at the top level what does it say the resolution is? Then go into that setting and change it to 240p and see if that works.

Might be a me problem, but I'm getting a weird effect where the controllers are sending constant Up inputs. I can't control the menus enough to change the resolution setting... Troubleshooting on my end atm

Okay. Run update_all and reboot. Input should now use your default settings.

Easier said than done... What's the easiet way to prevent the MiSTer Magix from auto-launching if I don't have the ability to control the menus? Should I delete the .sh or the .ini from the SD card, or both?

Oh I think I misunderstood you just wanted to know how to get to the normal menu 🙈 did you get to it via settings? Otherwise rename mister.ini to something and rename mister.ini.bak.before-majik to mister.ini and you are back to normal after a reboot

That got it, ty. Following the update, control inputs are back to normal. I'm testing resolutions now... Currently both 15kz options, 240p60 and 288p50 are giving a rolling picture. The resolution looks right, but its got a vertical scrolling effect.

If that does not work then maybe: [MiSTer] composite_sync=1 vga_mode=rgb vga_sog=0
