User Manual #1

Open spectrumcomputing opened 3 years ago

spectrumcomputing commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Is there a user manual available or at least a getting started guide? I'm looking to purchase one (I have the ZX-DOS+ already), but want to run the Amiga core.

Thanks

Peter

scroll lock changes video from scart rgb to vga, has default firmware has video out has scart rgb, arcades esc key is credits or 6 button megadrive/genesis pad with mode button mode button is credits, start on player 1 joypad is player one start(start on player 2 pad is player 2 start) or number 1 key (or number 2 key) on keyboard. you need either vga to scart or vga monitor or vga to hdmi adapter for screen. you also need a 5v usb ac adapter, usb to barrell jack is included. for zx spectrum next its best practice to have separate card for zx spectrum next core. Also same for Amiga/Minimig core best practise to have sperate card. Also best practise for seperate card for MSX. FOr Small computer core's, arcades and consoles can live on main Neptuno system card. All sd card must use FAT32 has file system. With console roms there is a limit of 128 files in a folder and a limit of 128 folder. To overcome this limitation its best practise to put roms in a to z folders or favourite roms up to 128 in a folder. At the moment arcade rom's are rolled into the cores.

With amiga core thre is a 4gb size limit because of fat32 on hdf's. Procedure to change minimig language to english instead of Espanol is http://retroramblings.net/?page_id=1422 Retro Ramblings AMR Minimig AGA for Chameleon Doesn't matter whether you grab the version for V1 or V2 hardware - just get the most recent one. The file you want is called 832OSDAD.bin - Rename it to minimig.bin then Neptuno should be able to use it. The utils disk should be applicable, too, unless they've changed something that I'm not aware of.
