Time pilot 84 set 37/27/2023 That said, I do still need to get my hands on a Time Pilot '84 PCB running Set 3 as this version has a completely different memory map to Set 1 and Set 2 on the primary CPU and I want to make a 1:1 model of this.Ī note regarding future cores: I will always post them to my personal GitHub first as part of a public beta-testing period before bringing them over to the main MiSTer GitHub. It'll be good to officially get this core out and move on to the Sega System C-2 hardware. This game has given me so many headaches between things randomly breaking during compiles to audio issues (couldn't get an SN76489 implementation that didn't exhibit audio errors and had to resort to tweaking the one from the Colecovision core to fix off-by-1 errors and its noise LFSR) to having a really hard time with the Konami 502 custom chip. This build will be the one that gets posted to the main MiSTer GitHub. There have been problems with the watchdog timer triggering non-stop with the July 13 build of the core, so I made a new one earlier in the month that I haven't released yet which gives the option to toggle the watchdog on or off (the Time Pilot '84 PCB does this by means of a solder pad on the board that disables the watchdog when bridged). I'm setting up to put the core on the official repo in the next 4 days. I hope this new info helps to clarify things. the one that implements watchdog resets indefinitely. Once I´ve properly tested the cores, I find out that while the initial release works fine. It appears that I had the two available releases inside _Arcade/cores so when Mister loaded the game it messed up whatever set I chose. I think I´ve found the reason behind my issues -at least, partially. One more thing: this core doesn't use SDRAM at all, so don't do anything with this when troubleshooting.īefore anything else, thank you for your work on developing the core. I need to know how widespread this reset issue is and if it's not caused by user error because if this is a situation like the initial release where some MiSTers exhibited graphical errors when other didn't, this is going to be a real problem. That release doesn't even have the watchdog logic implemented, but the 20200713 release does. Is your MiSTer up to date and are your merged ROMs (you must have a tp84a folder inside tp84.zip for Set 2) located in games/mame? The 20200712 release constantly resetting like that doesn't make sense as that's the kind of behavior you'd typically see with the watchdog circuitry as Konami's watchdogs are incredibly strict and will trigger a reset at any little thing that goes off. I'm just sitting here scratching my head as to what is happening when my own MiSTer and several others are working with Time Pilot '84 without issue, both with Set 1 and Set 2. No problems with other arcade, computer or console cores though. I´ve tried with both releases and sets with no luck.

On the other hand, I´m suffering continuous resets while using the last release of the core -20200713. Be aware though that I have placed the game inside _Arcade/mame/tp84.zip If I recall correctly, I resolved the issue changing the rom with the Mame 0.221 release -non merged set. I had the very same error screen the first time I booted it. I guess the only other thing to try is a different power supply? I've run the main mister from console and it reports all roms are found and load successfully. I've verified the tp84.zip CRCs match the ones in the MRA file. I've built a brand new SD card from scratch (using mr fusion, on a different SD card than I usually use). I've stripped my Mister down to bare de-10 (no i/o board, no sdram etc). I cannot get this core to boot any version of the game.
