Page 3: Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for your interest in the MiSTer Multisystem2, we hope you find this manual useful for both use and future expansion of your Multisystem2. The MiSTer Multisystem is brought to you by Heber ltd and the Retro Collective. If you have any technical questions or need any advice on using the system, please do not hesitate to contact multisystem@heber.co.uk... -

A suitable 5V power supply. We recommend a Meanwell 5V 4A PSU (GST25A05-P1J) suitable for operation anywhere in the world. Available here - https://shop.heber.co.uk/mean-well-power- supply-gst25a05-p1j-20w-5v-4a/ If you select a different 5V adaptor, please do check size and polarity of the power connection jack along with a current rating of 3A or more. -
Page 5: Sd Card Preparation
If starting with a fresh SD card, the instructions to setup MiSTer using Mr Fusion are below. 1. Visit https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/mr-fusion/releases and download the latest release of Mr Fusion – in the Assets section, click on the .img.zip file to download it. 80-23403 Issue 1 HEBER... - Page 6 (HDMI to Analogue video output – External VIDEO DAC). A suitable USB joypad, joystick or your favourite USB controller input device, a Super Nintendo (SNES) joypad is a good match for initial setup and works well in most games and systems. 80-23403 Issue 1 HEBER...
- Page 7 Many other optional devices, accessories and expansion cartridges can be added at a later date, see the Heber shop and other MiSTer suppliers for further information. After unpacking the Multisystem2, the following procedure for software setup is advised. Please see later in this manual for a detailed step-by-step guide.

Page 13: Cartridge Slot
The voltage switch on the original Multisystem has not been included on the Multisystem 2. The SNAC signals are always 3.3 V level, and all Heber cartridges have on-board level shifting where required, so there is no need to select the voltage and the correct signal levels will be used for each controller type. -
Page 14: Additional Input Devices
If you wish to mount an NFC reader inside Multisystem2, then look out form one that is around 39 to 42mm wide, ideally 40mm. This seems to be a standard for these readers, so most should fit into the Multisystem2 enclosures – see below for mounting images. 80-23403 Issue 1 HEBER... -
Page 15: Ctrldock
3.13.3 CTRLDock Heber’s CTRLDock range is also supported on MiSTer out of the box and enables you to use your original controllers on MiSTer, even on systems other than the one the controller was originally designed for. Controller connected via a CTRLDock work the same as USB controllers, including remapping and ability to navigate the MiSTer menu/OSD. -
Page 16: Snac Cartridge
Core for that system, and you cannot navigate the OSD. All Heber SNAC cartridges are supported on Multisystem 2, and are designed to work with official cores, unlike some third-party SNAC systems which require special forked cores. The procedure to enable SNAC can differ slightly in some cores, but generally SNAC is enabled by opening the OSD, entering the Input section and setting the controller input type to SNAC. -

DE10 Slide Switches – SW9 (default: all off) 3.15 Sync on green switches Most users don’t need sync on green, and SW5 can be left in the ‘AUTO SOG’ position and P14 in the G CAP BYPASS position. 80-23403 Issue 1 HEBER... - Page 18 ‘AUTO SOG’ position then the sync on green will only be enabled if the vga_sog=1 line is added to mister.ini. A DC blocking capacitor will be added to the green video line if P14 jumper is in the position in the image above. 80-23403 Issue 1 HEBER...

(see below), an MT32-Pi in the cartridge slot, and a high power consumption core such as ao486 (uses about 1.2 A). Heber SNAC cartridges have their own built-in protection to protect against abnormal loads on the controller ports. Therefore, the main power supply limit is only of real concern when connecting custom devices to the expansion headers. -

This connector also includes the ADC_INx signals from the cartridge slot which are not connected to anything else on the board. These signals on the cartridge slot originally connected to an ADC on the DE10 which was only used for audio input on selected cores but is excluded from Multisystem 2. 80-23403 Issue 1 HEBER... -
