Does anybody know if it’s possible to detect, from the Linux side of the #MiSTerFPGA, if the User or OSD button is pressed, from /dev/, sharedmem, or something?
It’s a long shot, but does anybody know why I can’t get disk temperature reported via #SNMP on my #Synology? I’m using SNMP v3 with auth and privacy, and I have the Synology MIB files, which contain a field diskTemp. #Monitoring

So it turns out that the ability to have different wallpapers per ini file is documented, albeit outdated. But since #GitHub prevents search engines from indexing wikis, and the #MiSTerFPGA Bible is a 5-year-old snapshot of the wiki, we’re out of luck.

@marcusjordan Do you think we could work together to make boogermann.github.io/Bible_M… update automatically as the Wiki is updated? Since it’s favoured by search engines, it would be really cool.
TIL I learned (by reading the source code) that you can change the #MiSTerFPGA wallpaper according to which of the four alternative .ini files is loaded. >>
If your .ini files are called
MiSTer.ini
MiSTer_foo.ini
MiSTer_bar.ini
MiSTer_baz.ini
you create folders
wallpapers
wallpapers_foo
wallpapers_bar
wallpapers_baz
in the root of the SD card, and a random file from the folder matching the currently selected .ini will be used.
The “funny” part is that, knowing it exists, I tried to search for the corresponding documentation, and I found nothing.
I was actually reading the code because I wanted to see if I could implement it.

2. Setting the wallpaper from the .ini file, so I can have wallpapers that show me which .ini is currently active;
3. A way to get the properties of the monitor connected via HDMI, so I can have a startup script that changes some settings accordingly.

The MiSTer already supports EDID detection, but I couldn’t find a way to get the data from a script.
Reading the MiSTer code, it looks like I can already switch the wallpaper based on the selected .ini file, by having a folder /media/fat/wallpapers_foo that matches the corresponding ini file MiSTer_foo.ini.

Three things I would find useful on the #MiSTerFPGA:
1. Booting into “safe mode” by holding a button at startup, that sets all settings to the most likely to work: vsync_adjust=0, dvi_mode=1, video_mode set by querying the display;

. @schurt3r Vous ne vous payez pas un tout petit peu notre tête, par hasard ?
I’m going through the latest #MiSTerFPGA ini file and documentation, and a lot has been done to make it even easier to have custom settings however you might need. There are sections for the menu core, for arcade and vertical arcade cores, and even for specific video modes.
The only thing I might want to have more is a way to detect the display currently connected, and apply certain settings accordingly. This way, I could set a custom resolution and vsync_adjust=2 for my iPad screen, and vsync_adjust=0 for my TV. #MiSterFPGA
