Direct Video (DV1)

Use latest MiSTer.ini file and enable DV1 (direct_video). More details on MiSTer INI settings can be found here.

Cores Lacking Direct Video Support

Some arcade cores do not support direct video. To turn off direct video for these cores alone, add this to the bottom of MiSTer.ini:

DV1 Config Files for MiSTer Cores

Since some cores do not supply complete DV1 metadata, a custom DV1 configuration file may be required. This .ini file can be placed in a folder called dv1 on the root of the Morph 4K microSD. A single file can hold multiple configurations, or there can be multiple files with single configurations in each. More details on the format of these Morph .ini files can be found here.
