  1. Also A kind of Italian Design 1988
  2. you can use the bit opcode to check the bits and call the code, for up/down/left/right, thats the way i usely do, quite easy actually.
  3. Its always great with more options, and INTYBASIC is also in development, maybe in the future it performs better and other features can be supported. Local variables could be nice, and booleans, but else i dont have a long list of missing features in Intybasic.Until now I stick to Intybasic cause I really dont know C so well. And I grew up with Basic at homecomputer, later did some Turbo Pascal in CP/M, and MSXDOS (and MSDOS). But its more about what are you used too. If you are used to C you would like to use a C compiler, sure. But its great if we can have a C compiler, so we have more choices
  4. I did not read all the post, but why people sould be interested in a C compiler when we have IntyBasic ?, cause those people dont know the Basic Syntax? Some times when people hear Basic they think slow code, thats for sure, with older systems where the code is not Compiled. I dont think Intybasic is slow, first of all it compiles to assembler, which is assembled into a usefull code, second it is maintained by Oscar, who is also a very good Assembler programmer so I am quite sure his compiler know what its doing Maybe some one can do a C Compiler, which Compiles into Intybasic code
  5. Z80 cant multiply or division, so its the funny part the good thing you want to multiply with a good binary number (32) if we assume Y is stored in HL and X in DE. you can do like this: IF you are using only bytes, you can zero H and D and put the values in L and E. LD H,0 LD L,16 ;this is the Y Value LD D,0 LD E,12 ;this is the X Value ADD HL,HL ADD HL,HL ADD HL,HL ADD HL,HL ADD HL,HL ;Add HL to itself 5 times = HL x 32 ADD HL,DE ;Add DE to HL, so we add the X value LD DE,$1800;Set BASE $1800 ADD HL,DE ;Add the BASE
  6. You mean Electric Adventures yes he knows and he is always helping and this guy have very long history coding z80 and also at the VDP I think he started coding in 1983.
  7. lets say vram adr you want to read is in HL the byte read will be in A. ld hl,$1800 call rdadr call rdbyte st: jp st rdadr: push af ld a,l out ($BF),a ld a,h out ($BF),a pop af ret rdbyte: in a,($BE) ret if you are using interrupt, make sure a interrupt will not happend in the middle of the code.
  8. The link have been malfunction for a while, since a PHP upgrade at the host, but it should work now. No new roms have been added. Maybe later.
  9. I dont think it was released in Japan, When the Colecovision came out, it might be very close to the release of MSX in Japan. If it came out in Japan in great numbers i would assume there was Japanese games, like we saw at the SG-1000. I think back then USA was more a Console Market, while Europe and Japan was a Computer Market.
  10. I just replaced all the vram ics, and put sockets. It seems the easies way to deal with the colecovision mainboards will be to cut the pins, and desolder from both sides using solderpump. I broke a few traces but it was an easy fix also installed a dirty composite fix using a resistor and a transistor I did the same with the controller ics a few years ago i did not break any traces that time
  11. Hello I try to fix a NTSC ColecoVision. All VRAM ics are out and now sockets are in place at the mainboard. I checket connection at every socket. I assume I have a few broken traces. PIN 15=CAS, ALL OK PIN 4=RAS, ALL OK PIN 3=R/W ALL OK (- U17) PIN 16=GND ALL OK PIN 8=+12V ALL OK PIN 5=A0 ALL OK PIN 6=A2 ALL OK PIN 7=A1 ALL OK PIN 9=5V ALL OK PIN 10=A5 ALL OK (-U16) PIN 11=A4 ALL OK PIN 12=A3 ALL OK PIN 13=A6 ALL OK Seems like to make a new trace to PIN3 at U17 and a new PIN10 at U16 I read somewhere about PIN2 is only connected at U16 to the VDP PIN10 is that right? And I will share my Procedure to desolder the ics: 1) Cut the is off by use a small sidecutter. 2) Desolder the pins one by one. (from the component side) 3) heat up the solde, and use a solder pump or sucker, if you dont get a clean hole, apply new solder and try again. 4) If you need to apply new solder, work on another part while it cool down and come back to that later. 5) sometimes you need to try to remove the solder (3) from the solder side or the component side or both. 6) Dont RUSH. It takes time, send the WIFE and KIDS out of the HOUSE
  12. Desolder VRAM ics from a ColecoVision board, and ofcause at the last chip my solderpump was damaged:(

      what did you have to desolder 128 pins and then dead, sounds fun

  13. Using my Intellivision at a modern LED LG TV, I found out it skips between 200 and 900 frames. Which actually means i didn see the lines animation at LTO flash. I made a little rom that shows the frames, so if you are interested to know how fast your tv sync, you can test with this rom. I later connected my Intellivision to a Small Samsung TV/Monitor. LCD 14". It only skips 4 frames. frametest.rom
  14. I found a list of compilers here http://commodore.software/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=category&catid=53&Itemid=126 and it had the BOSS PDF manual in English
  15. Hello. Any one know if there is a C64 Basic compiler (Cross) for Windows. I might want to try to write some C64 games, but want to use Basic or Pascal.
  16. Hi. Super Minefield free demo rom for download at www.mtxworld.dk/romstore Game ends when: Player Escaped the Minefield Player Died Player have moved more than 31 steps. Limits: No Scandinavia Map Intro No Credits No Tank No Beach, Ice and River map No RIP/Game over
  17. ahhhhh and you didn socket them. ???
  18. I put up a FREE DEMO ROM of Jaw Crusher for download at www.mtxworld.dk/romstore What is missing ? * No optionscreen * Game ends if: Bonus timer runs out, or Player cleared the stage, or dies. * Bonus Treasures are limited to Carrots and Lollipops * No Pause function * No Keith Screen * No Scandinavia Map * 3 Faces on screen Just like a free Google Play games, but you dont have to say yes to share your pictures or contact list and no ADS
  19. dont know if its fast but i would use 92+random(6)+20*random(5) but it dont seem to be very random
  20. do they use NTSC or PAL in Canada ? I bet some Canada users have done the videomod too.
  21. it seems like the STIC are not the same for NTSC and PAL. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/250510-pal-intellivision-stic-needed/
  22. Will the boards from oshpark work with PAL intellivisions too ?
  23. maybe you have it on your mobilephone and listen to it at an airplane if you travel alot I drive 2½-3hr a day, so a 3hr potcast will only last one day Talking about math, they mention they would try to put out more in 2018 than 2017, but so far 3½ have been produced in 2018 and we are 25% into the year so good luck with that
