I have set up probably like 12 MiSTers for people over the last 6 years or so…and I like to watch videos like yours to see if I can learn anything new. I learned like 3 things I can do from your video. Really appreciate it!
Y'all... WinSCP combined with Notepad++ is an absolute MUST. You can integrate Notepad++ into the WinSCP interface as a default text editor (not difficult to do at all) and enjoy the convenience of a great text editor that can 1) indicate what lines you've edited 2) auto-fill variables for you / remind you what they are (vsync_adjust etc) and best of all 3) when you hit the save button... It uploads the text file automatically. So convenient. This saved my life when I was tweaking my video settings per-core on my LG C1. *PS - The Failed message that Etcher gives you is 100% fine. I think that it's trying to mount a drive that it can no longer read because it's Linux now.
Amazing video Lu. Good change of pace and a great up to date referesher! , you should make more setup tutorials or a overview of the update all features. i think seeing how the arcade organizer works would be nice to see the differences in how it sorts games out.
Yeah some of the functions aren’t immediately clear. I love using the bgm script to play radio or MP3s in the menu - there’s a bunch of stuff to explore.
@@LusRetroSource hey thanks! I’m getting zip not found type error. I’m trying to re download a new mame set. I have 2003 set right now. I’ll try update all again
Thanks for your video! I used this and the knowledge of a friend to get my Mister going yesterday. I know it is laborious, with minimal returns but it would be cool if you added timestamps.
OMG! Thanks for letting me know. I did create thumbnails, I just never inserted them in the description. I was able to find my notes for this video and added the timestamps now. Sorry, and thanks for letting me know!
Great video. Nice to have it all in one place. It took me a long time and a number of different videos to figure this out. I'm going to give each of my 2 kids a miSTer pretty soon and this video will be great for them. Thanks again! BTW, I'm not seeing a Patreon for you. Do you have one?
Always great to help. I will also be releasing a video later this week about building a MiSTer kit. Several people have been asking me about a Patreon so I plan to set one up soon.
Strangely it actually rebooted for me, didn't turn off like yours. Also the verification process with etcher, mine verified fine but then I was just wondering if you perhaps were using a SD to microSD card adapter because those can be a "hit and miss" and why I never use them. Raspberry pi also recommend to use a USB writer only and not use the SD card adapters because they are problematic.
Update All uses the downloader script to update. It just adds extra databases that pulls more cores and utilities. You can still use your own customizations with it.
On a new 256GB sd card, after the Mr Fusion screen at 3.13 , the installation finishes (?) and I get a black screen, nothing happens, no matter what I do, seems the sd card is not fit for the board.
You'll have to configure your router to assign a permanent IP address to the MiSTer. All routers work differently so you'll have to refer to the router manual.
The switches should be left at their default positions. But if they are not they should all be set to the position away from the FPGA chip. This site shows you how misterfpga.co.uk/mister-de10-nano-switch-configuration/
@@LusRetroSource What matters, in the picture on that page, is the position of the small 6 way DIP switch, marked SW10. That tells the FPGA how to boot from the micro SD card. I just watched another video by you, called "MiSTer FPGA - Minimal Setup How-To", and was a bit baffled that you drew attention to the four user toggle switches, but not the DIP switches. I'm not trying to be critical, it's just that this matters. Hopefully, that's how the DE10-Nano is shipped, but if not, or if people have tried setups that use different DIP switch settings, they're not going to be able to get it to boot without setting it appropriately. So far, I've tried a few different Linux setups, and just using it as a straight FPGA, without the ARM core. That's involved at least three different settings on the DIP switches. Trying MiSTer is next, for me. I didn't buy it for that, but i do want to try it, which is why I was interested in your minimal setup.
@@TooSlowTube Thanks for the info. I'll add a note to the description regarding the dip switch. I've built several MiSTer setups and there was one setup that required you to change the toggle switches, so that is why I mentioned them. In case people are moving from a setup that required you to change those. I've never had to adjust the dip switch so the default must be what MiSTer needs. Anyway it's good to know that info and thanks!
@@LusRetroSource You're welcome. I've struggled to understand how to set the DIP switches a few times because the manuals tended to describe them as on or off, without saying which position was which, or show a line drawing in black and white without saying which color represented the lever of the switches. An actual photograph definitely works best for that.
@@LusRetroSource I tried all day, it doesn't help, I've had this problem for several days now. I thought about updating the script on the GitHub page of user atrac17, the page opens with a 404 error. Maybe this is the problem.

It tries to sync with the ntp server but fails. I tried pinging google and it works. I tried pinging the Mister ip from my PC and it works but the Mister says no internet connection when I try to run scripts.

Thanks. FileZilla failed to let me use notepad++ to do this
Thank you so much, sir. Your hard work and passion are greatly appreciated.
Great video Lu! Always good to have a refresher!! 😉
Thanks!

I have an upcoming video about building a MiSTer kit, so it made sense to create one for the software setup too.
Great video for the newcomers. Very well explained and easy to follow. I hope you can do one for more advanced people.
Thanks! I plan to do tutorials about more advanced topics as separate videos. There is a networking video I created that needs to be updated.
@@LusRetroSource Cool. Thanks Lu
Great to put a face to the voice!! ❤
Thanks Lu. Can you believe I've never FTP'd to my MiSTer?! Didn't really work out how. Now I can!
Happy to help!
Great stuff Lu, thank you!
You're welcome!
Excellent video. I appreciate the content and the detail you have provided. Thanks!
Happy to help!
Nice. Lu, you look exactly like i thought you would.
Well too bad for me, I set mine up yesterday... :D
Gonna watch this to see if I missed anything...
Getting mine in the mail today thanks a lot for this!!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@LusRetroSource thanks! It’s amazing!! Having problems w/arcade games but I’ll do some research
@@PixelGod240 The update_all script should take care of arcade games for you. Any specific error you are getting.

I wish Retroarch handled controllers the way Mr. does.
I'm with you on that. RetroArch is very confusion with mapping controllers.

Great video! Do you have a video on his to migrate a smaller Memory card to a bigger one? Thanks.
I am still using the old downloader script! I prefer to have more control over the things I download :)
Update All uses the downloader script to update. It just adds extra databases that pulls more cores and utilities. You can still use your own customizations with it.
@@LusRetroSource ah! From the looks of it I thought you'd be limited to the default entries!
can you make a video about changing the video resolution? thanks
Thanks Lu
@ 08:58 - just type 'reboot' to reboot the MiSTer without having to unplug/plug back in to recycle the power
On a new 256GB sd card, after the Mr Fusion screen at 3.13 , the installation finishes (?) and I get a black screen, nothing happens, no matter what I do, seems the sd card is not fit for the board.
Can you create sub directories inside each core's ROM folder?
@LusRetroSource I try to run the update and I get a message that I first have to upgrade the OS on my MiSTer any idea of how to do this?
My MiSTer IP keeps changing everytime I boot it, how to keep the same IP ?
You'll have to configure your router to assign a permanent IP address to the MiSTer. All routers work differently so you'll have to refer to the router manual.
I get the same error message when I use Etcher, too.
Weird that the message comes up with perfectly written cards.
Are there any switchs on the de10, that needs to be in any specific position?
The switches should be left at their default positions. But if they are not they should all be set to the position away from the FPGA chip. This site shows you how

Hi!The "update hdmame-gerrer" script does not work, it gives a 404 error. What should I do?
The script had issues getting some sources which should be resolved by now. Try again.

Mister has ip address but cannot get date and time. I cannot use update_all. Any help will be appreciated.
What happens when you try to run update_all?
It tries to sync with the ntp server but fails. I tried pinging google and it works. I tried pinging the Mister ip from my PC and it works but the Mister says no internet connection when I try to run scripts.
