Building an archive of VMU screen sprites

I've always loved the little screens that show up on the VMU, so I've started building an archive of VMU sprites from games and the system itself. Here is the link:

https://vmu-archive.vercel.app/

So far I've only found rips for a few games, like Sonic Adventure, Tony Hawk and Puyo Pop Fever. The rest I've been capturing myself from screenshots.

Does anyone know of a similar project or source of sprites? If not, I'd love your feedback. Contributions are very welcome too. If there's a game or screen you'd like to see, you can send a screenshot here: https://github.com/vgarmes/vmu-archive/issues/new?template=submit-art.yml

UPDATE:

I think I got it fixed!! After a lot of research, I found an old post on misterfpga forum where someone had successfully connected the Mister FPGA to a B&O via an RGB SCART cable putting a jumper on the 5V VGA power pin (the pins next to the VGA connector on this picutre https://github.com/ChinaQMTECH/QMTECH_Cyclone_V_SoC_KFB_With_Dual_SDRAM/blob/main/QMTECH_IO_BOARD_V3.5_Release_20260411/TOP_View.JPG ).

I have just tried that and it worked!

I’m trying to get the VGA output working on my MiSTer FPGA with a CRT but I don’t get any picture.

Setup:

- MiSTer FPGA (HamGeek board, I believe it’s the same as QMTech)

- VGA to RGB SCART cable from ultimatemister.com

- TVs tested: B&O MX4000 and MX6000 (both PAL)

What I’ve done:

- Configured mister.ini according to the instructions included with the cable (basically the same as the default file in https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/blob/master/MiSTer.ini)

- Tried both TVs with no signal at all

Questions:

- Are there any specific mister.ini settings I should double-check for this kind of setup (maybe some PAL specific settings)?

- The VGA pins on the board (labelled as vga_power with 3.3V and 5V) don’t have any jumper, should I use one?

If anyone has a similar setup working, I’d really appreciate seeing your config or hearing what worked for you.
