Virtualization / Re: What Needs to be done for ...

Thank you for the feedback! The mouse is a really tricky part. It requires the host input to be scaled in some way to match real hardware. On some platforms only accelerated non-linear input is available from the host system. Can you show me the logic used in the MiSTer NeXT core?

Virtualization / Re: What Needs to be done for ...
Last post by clarkkent - Oct 09, 2026, 12:48 PMAs an owner of a NeXTstation Turbo and NeXTstation Turbo Color I find the emulator highly impressive!
Only the mouse is terrible, al least here. Uneven movement, partly tooslow, partly way too fast. Tried different setting in the mouse menu but didn't find any satisfying setting. Can't the mouse of the host system being used like in Parallels Desktop or such?
Edit: the mouse of the NeXT core on MiSTer is perfect, like on the real thing.

Last post by Protocol 7 - Oct 09, 2026, 09:56 AMQuote from: Rhetorica on Oct 08, 2026, 06:00 PMTo add to that, PR1's kernel is quad-FAT but there's no /usr/standalone/sparc folder and most of the apps lack SPARC support. For example, the Upgrader app supports SPARC but Workspace doesn't.Quote from: Protocol 7 on Oct 07, 2026, 10:05 PMPR1 had HPPA support but no SPARC while PR2 had SPARC but no HPPA.
That is an amazing fact and a gorgeous PR2 screenshot. Absolutely something for the wall of fame.

Last post by jade_nekotenshi - Oct 08, 2026, 09:01 PMIf you've been using my fork, do yourself a favor and pull the latest; SPARCstation 10SX support should work now, as should HME.
