If you have your TV manual around ha...

Re: Testers wanted (Descent for GC)

There's no jagged lines because anti-aliasing is used is that anti-aliasing done in software before its written to the framebuffer? or is that something the wiiu / intensity pro is doing ? I have just written a simple quake model viewer for the gc and then textures on the models look fine but the o...

Re: Testers wanted (Descent for GC)

Sweet I am in ! where do I get the dol from is it part of the wii download ?

Have had a quick look at the pc source code loads of asm files did you rewrite them into c code for this port ?

Also how did you capture those screen shots they look really clear ?

Re: Shuriken Video

those sleeps are supposed to be 100ms sleeps, it looks like the compiler using seconds. 'The previous times (with the sleeps) it took about 2 minutes for the same result' 100 seconds / 60 seconds in a minute = 1.40 minutes (approx 2 minutes) reduce the sleep time to sleep(1) ie 1 second sleep it wil...

Re: Shuriken Video

nightmare just killed another cube :-( all was working fine until I wired up the audio lines 19 to 22 then it died RIP. Somethings wrong with V3 layout :-( need to double check tomorrow. Try with that MISO resistor removed see if that fixes the slow flashing. EDIT: Pin 5: 12V and PIn 19: ALR, are sh...

Re: Shuriken Video

Lol it don't take more then 30 seconds to erase / program and verify on my system. Will dig out my copy of the *.sys file. So those resistors protect the chip as it's 3.3 volt and pc port runs at 5 volts. In my system I can't get the verify stage to work with the protection resistor in the MISO line...

Re: Shuriken Video

this is going to be hard to explain the D-TYPE pin numbers and the software reg numbers dont match. D-TYPE pin1 is strobe (#define SPI_POWER) this should be called some better like #define SPI_SET_DATA_DIRECTION (it powers the output lines) maybe this will help or confuse even more :-( 20151211_2256...

Re: Shuriken Video

Yes from offset 0. If blank equals 0xff then yes. Try it like that if the fpga don't like what you programmed it will fail the checksum test and not boot.

Re: Shuriken Video

not sure if this will work but you can try creating a bin file using

http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

of size 512kb and full of 0xff and open up spi_flash.bin in the same program and copy & paste it to your new file save it and try flashing that.

@marcus9199 Not had that issue with the HDMI connectors but I would say thats the hardest part to solder though, maybe check that the 5v line going to the HDMI connector is good. @TALANTO Yer the serial flash connector was in the way so I didnt use pin62 will ask unseen to move the pin for v3 once I...

Re: Shuriken video v2 build with xc3s200a

what value are C7 and C8 ? it looks like 100nF, this is from my website

Note: C7 should be 4.7uF and C8 should be 1uF both tantalum type caps to reduce noise.

I would really recommend you use those values as they are stated in the datasheet for that vreg (1206 size should fit 16V will do).
