pfcolors and pfheights together-- in RAM!

[abaudrand]

Finally succeed to use your code. Despite errors message after compiling, it works perfectly!!! Big thumbs up for the work!:thumbsup:

Sorry to plague this thread but I entcounter some issue since I had to upgrade to W7 64 bits. I ve replaced all files mentionned above but the compilation fail each time. Has someone test this kernel on w7 64 bits?

 

Edit: I've tried to compile the example "test_pfcolors_with_pfheights_SC.bas" and get this error message:

The value mismatches are not errors as such, they should just be warnings from where addresses change between the assembler's initial pass through the code and subsequent passes.

 

So I think pfcenter and pfwidth are the real errors-- they aren't defined anywhere but something in the code is referring to them. Are you generating a list file? You might search through the list file for references to pfcenter and pfwidth.

I ve tried something stupid and it work.. I got a copy of my previous configuration that worked on XP and just overwrite preprocess, 2600bat.exe and postprocess which only worked for W7. I can now compile your test or my game on W7... guess I ve missed something in the installation that I haven t previous time...

Now that I got a working configuration, Ill try to upgrade to RevEng 64ko method.

I've just tried this as well, with similar errors and no luck compiling the demo or my own attempt:

I'm attempting compilation through VisualBB. I'm using batariBasic 1.01dreveng36 and DASM 2.20.11 unofficial 20140202a

 

It DOES create a .bin, but it's malformed and doesn't actually work.

ASM_and_lists.zip

test_pfcolors_with_pfheights_SC.bas.bin

Also, will this work with a higher pfres?

 

EDIT: I fixed the problem simply enough by just adding const pfwidth = 4, as per this post.

 

However, pfres doesn't seem to work; I just get a flickering mess. However, that includes if I just define set kernel_options player1colors playercolors pfcolors pfheights normally, without using this minikernel. That somehow seems wrong to me, though. What am I overlooking here?

I would like to share a modified version of the superchipheader_SC RevEng made for me so that I can keep using this modified kernel and being able to work on a 64Ko project.
All thanks go to him.
