is there a slim possibility of leaving basic enabled in loader configuration? don't ask how long i didn't know that it is there

it took a little more time than anticipated, but at least it will provide all nessesary connections and features to run vga fx core with it

i have no knowledge of 6502 being manufactured, or being manufactured in smaller package. what you refer to, is 65c02, and this you can get even in tqfp, but we won't have to wait very long, for some lost purity crusader to jump in and brag on every occasion how bad and incompatible it is

great! keep us all informed!

i don't know if this a middle age crisis, or what? one was a nice distraction, second one - another thread derailed? i don't see any reason for working longer just to replace whole cpu board instead if you're really inclined to do it - do it, if not personally, i'm sure you can hire someone to do that for you - schematics for vbxe are/were available, so go for it adapter board took 2 days for the main part, antic breakout board remains to be designed intrest in 800 video upgrade options just isn't there

to see this lady in format she deserves, requires either foldable monitor or scrolling picture for first one i can't do anything, but for the other one i see no problems of using this as splash screen horizontal span of cpu board is not that great considering you can't find smaller antic or gitia chips, even 6502 aren't getting any smaller, so this estate is already wasted double sided placement is also not that important, since it will allow only some improovement over existing problems precious slot3? what is so precious about slot3? any current development that are good enough to keep it empty?

no, VBXE does not generate synchronisation signals, antic and gtia do that

just enter configuration utility, and see list of the cores you have installed there is GTIA only core that runs in VGA mode you could use just with your current setup as it runs from 14mhz clock if this works with you you could buy just crystal and go for it all the way as for synchronisation, you need to connect CSYNC to both VSYNC and HSYNC of your monitor most will handle this correcly VGA cores are in the core pack for almost 11 years right now 50Hz VGA capable monitor is hit and miss (some do work, others don't), but with 60Hz you're golden

this will take some time (VBXE3 that is) - considering my workload for ntsc systems vbxe, despite of having rgb output is actually easy way out, since you can set core to VGA and you're done for FX core you need to change crystal to 28.something MHz (twice the original one) but this is all you have to do

what are your current symptoms with that game? i know for sure that if pokey has no shadow registers then birds on title screen get lazy, and end after bringing one or two letters to the board, also game won't start correctly then if porta is not present on random locations of d3xx page, then joystick won't work

Here is my attempt on installing VBXE into Incognito Atari 800 this is rather how not to do it, since space inside RF shielding is very limited, but, with a proper slot-3 adapter board it should be a lot easier i'll publish some more detail plus required JED update a bit later, as i'm still waiting for some feedback from other people attempting this installation also - updating JED should make Bit3 card working

FFC cables connector have a lifespan of 30 cycles - that is not that much, belive me and although i do use them in profesional designs with signaling above 1GHz, i fear that anything densier than 1mm pitched cable will be too much to handle by most of the folks around here as for these sd card expanders - they are pretty expensive considering they are just a piece of plastic

two-part = expensive (twices the chip count, as you will need two logic devices) densier device will cost only a fraction of $ for bulk orders, whereas two smaller devices will just double the coest 3d printed - although i do have 3d printer (and a cnc mill) i don't see this comming - it is very time consuming to print anything, and bringing it up to the molded part quality takes forever if that would be a print-it-yourself option that's fine, but i fear that most would just skip that because of extra money involved how about using vertical slots in 400 case - they fit sd card perfectly, and all we would need to have is fancy shaped board to hold it

could you check some scrollers? i wonder if it try to do something wierd like implying that the source is interlaced and deinterlace it making scrollers lettering torn, or similar issues

schematics for incognito-lite as this is codenamed have been sittin on my disk for about 8 years right now. they need massive lifting before i could start with pcb design, and i need to refresh my memory on how this suppose to work. the biggest issue ther is that every expansion card 400 has is internal, and this is a problem for sd card access. i know ribbon cables with sd slots exist, but this is good for low speed interfaces - if any of you have some ideas on how to go about this, im open for discussion

i never had CPU board with non-sally cpu, thus i might not know about the issue, and it looks like timing related, especially when cpu swap helps

how about productivity software? any experience with these?

i'll send you some details on how this suppose to work on PM

flash memory has a lifespan (for data stored within) of 20 years, meaning if you don't update flash-based device within 20 years you might find its not working anymore, but if you do, counter resets, and you have another 20 years of not worrying about it pure fpga are sram based, and they load all their logic on boot (stored usually in flash memory) so same rules apply incognito 2 had flash-based cpld, same as it was in original incognito board, but with hardware spi register done externally unfortunatly, early in development i found that this device was too small for every function i wanted to implement, and it was redesigned once again, and renamed to incognito 3 currently, project is at stall, but i suspect i'll be moving thigs forward this year

thanks i really appreciate this! it must fit within 1kb and i might not be able to set colours, other than this - its great!

i don't know what is with that snoflake theme here, but snow is melting outside, so i hope it will pass away...

and where is fun in this?

this is direct response for xxl's comments on this matter in polish language - for me this was not an issue and i could do it otherwise, but since he wrote what he wrote, i'll design hardware anti-xxl protection that will actually display that guru meditation screen just to proove the point this is now personal, and you are free to walk away guru meditation it will be

i must remain myself not to feed the troll

a bug we call something unintended, this was explicity coded, so it's a feature what you did, was exploiting that feature and calling it names - that is pretty childish, and you'll be treated accordingly now go away, i'm sure you have other "bugs" to find
