    hello!

     

    i tried the code with the categories, by switchreset it always jumps to the first frame,... no big succsess after trying some other variables.. :(

     

    the joy0 samples are quiet nice idear and the delay works... but i can only go once in any direction after doing a event.

     

    for now i dont have so much time to work around,.. not to go back to my desk.

     

    soon back later!

    hi there,

     

    the one question i have is about the function and definition of the frameselection by the joystick.

     

    so far i have my four different sujets (saw,cross,figur,sqares)and i can swap between with using switchreset.

    the function for changeing playfields with the joystick is related to the first sujet and this is not what i want. it should be within the selected sujet. dont know exactly how to explain, but if you run the code, select one of the images except the saw, move the joystick in any direction, it always ends in the saw-image what is not supposed to be.

     

    also sometimes i need to press one direction more often to go to the next playfield/image.

     

    any idear how i can code the controller?

     

    thanks a lot,

    Tom

    The code you posted runs fine for me. Do you have all of the updated files:

     

    http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/133529-updated-bb-files-to-download/

    Yes, that's probably the problem. The "on gosub" statement wasn't added until recently; before that it was strictly an "on goto" statement-- if I remember correctly.

    that sounds good, indead i was not using the software for long time,... - did the update ----- > and what a surprise : ) you all did it!

    thank you the feature with the reset button is exactly that what i need. i am happy :lust:

     

    all the best, Tom

    Can you post the .bas file so we can look at it to see if there is a little mistake that might be messing things up?

     

    of course, here it comes.

     

    if i replace on ... with if x=... (like here on ... goto)

    i have no compiler error.

     

    so whan i runn the whole code with the if x= code, its nothing changeing whan i press reset... dont know really.. :|

     

    thanks, Thomas

    It would look more like this:

     

      if !switchreset then skipsw
  s=s+1 : if s>3 then s=0
  on s gosub frame0 frame1 frame2 frame3
skipsw

     

     

    hello! basicly i can understand now what is going on in this code.

    a technical problem, whan i compile the code in crimson editor, it gives me a error message with the line:

     

    on s gosub frame0 frame1 frame2 frame3

     

    i dont understand why, 

    on

    is a bataribasic code??! :?

    hey again! is there no one who did this befor? maybe my question was not clear enought to understand...

     

    it would even help me to have a working code of one game who does similar that what i need, like changing the playfields by pressing reset button. i have added the code i already have. what i want tho have in the end, is the same features (changing the the playfield with joy up/down/left/right) but with reset i can change the whole playfild sample into another sujet. like,... first i have my triangles (like in the sample), pressing reset it becomes a square, reset - > circle - > smily, .... and so on. joystick should still be able to do this playfild swap within one sujet.

     

    i dont know how to seperate the different sujets playfields in the code. would be great to have one sample, maybe also for use in the code-snippets-samples-for-bb-beginners topic.

     

    pleas help me AA, you are my last hope :jango:

    hello there,...

     

    after a while i am back in atari-fever :lust:

     

    still i am using the atari as a generator for grafics. i have one thing, i want to design several (maybe up to 15) different backgrounds.

    with pressing the reset button i want to show the next one, like it worked with the 32in1 carts, every reset another game.

     

    so far, i show you the simple code for one background. just dont know how to fit this.

    should it be something like subroutines or "if switchreset than frame0=frame10 : frame1=frame11"

    i am really not shure, please help me :?

    my big problem is that the picture is much to dark now... i am little confused :?

     

    finally i did it :twisted:: )

     

    i can use the composit signal with a little modified CD4050 mod. on my video mixer, no more displaced screen!!!

    the brightness is also fine now,...

     

    for the one who want to know, i put some potentiometer into the circuit of lum0,1,2 and color, now i have some little knobs where i can setup the color as i want. not very original, but works at least :D

    Other reasons why it couldn't work:

    slighlty different timings of the atari2600 pal signal?

    non-interlaced signal. The video-mixer is probably expecting an interlaced video signal.

     

     

    okay,... so th VCR is just for stabilisation, didnt know that!

    CD4050 mod should work on PAL, just using other pinout of the TIA.

     

    have a look here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/128279-cd4050-av-mod-on-pal-atari-2600/

     

    just one thing i did not figured out now,.. how to put a S-video plug on it.

    http://www.tkk.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/svideo2cvideo.html

     

    luma and croma is on 3 & 4, but what is ground Y/C, is both(1&2) just the ground ?!

     

    best regards,

    TOM

    Try running the signal through a VCR first and see how it looks.

    Mitch

     

    hey Mitch,

     

    not a good idear with the VCR, thats just a RF filter as far i konw...

    ... and i already made the composite mod. so what i am looking for, is a way o have a straight PAL video signal out of the 2600. Dont have any idear how i should start to do this.

     

    but you are right, the video mod i did was one of the simlpe exsamples with to poti-resistors and so on...

    do anyone know whitch of the other mods might worke proper?!

     

     

    some googles later..... can anyone confirme that the CD4050 mod is what i am searching for?!

     

     

    best wishes,

     

    TOM

    Hello Folks,

     

    i want to use my Atari 2600 for doing live videoart/visuals. i already did the mod with the composit out. if i connect the 2600 to my Panasonic video mixer (working in PAL/Europe), the picture is there but really displaced.

     

    do anyone has experience with that?!

     

    thank you anyway.

    If you can live with an LCD TV, I can recommend the Samsung Syncmaster 2333HD.

    ST and Falcon do work here via RGB SCART or RF (antenna) input. The Falcon via VGA input too.

    Plain Composite Video does not work.

     

     

     

    hello! thats good to know, but i am far away from buying a new tv set. i got some DIN plugs for low price and will built a scart cabel to use the ST with my old tv set.

     

    how about old monitors, do the one from Commodore Amiga work as well?!

     

     

    cheers, T.
