djpubba Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Always nice to see support for weird old systems. Is there a place with screen shots of the games? I'm not finding them on any of your links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not finding them on any of your links. Yes, go to the "downloads" page. There's emulators, roms and screenshots of every game and program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was private for me only I think it would be a good idea... basically I see this demo as "finished"... its only purpose was to demonstrate that it's possible to program the Creativision (and that its video chip is able to do the Bitmap Mode). Maybe this could encourage more homebrew authors to do something for it... The reason why this demo is finished is... well... it fills up 12K of a cartridge with a single image alone (which does take up 12K in the VDP RAM), so I probably wouldn't do something like this in a game, since the biggest released carts only had 18K, so a 12K title picture would only leave 6K for an actual game. So, yes, I think it would be a good idea to have this demo on your website. If you want, you can also put up the sourcecode, unless it makes you feel deprived of a gift I gave you... but I think it could be a bit useful in demonstrating how sound and video can be accessed... OK, actually the source code is a bit confusing since I tried out different things which I then just commented out instead of removing them... and some comments I wrote into it apply to the commented-out lines which don't really get compiled and executed. I'm just cleaning it up a bit... and I'm not sure what to do with it. But it's time to go to bed now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADrigal Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Kurt, I'm *honored* to put your binary in CreatiVEmu website I'll also include the source code, or you can send me an updated and "clean" version, if you want to. There's no hurry right now, since I'm very buy in dispatching Multicart orders (we had over 60 orders!), so I'll update my site next week CYA Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spazmonkey Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 so, this is a system similiar to the Atari? i've never seen one. did it get a different name and get sold in the USA? It's not really similar at all, more along on the lines of an intellivision with the keypad. It's pads go together to make a keyboard, and the console was expandable to become a full fledged computer, which was it's gimmick. It was not sold in the USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADrigal Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 so, this is a system similiar to the Atari? i've never seen one. did it get a different name and get sold in the USA? Its hardware is very close to Colecovision and MSX. I recently also released Diagnosticart - that's a new cart featuring ultra rare diagnostic software that surfaced last year. I produced 40 copies, and it's sold out since the very beginning. All infos here, as usual: http:/www.madrigaldesign.it/creativemu/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
