Schmutzpuppe Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 For example you could use the attached file. It is just 512kb of digitized music well enough for testing purposes. Chad created a new banking file which enables you to use the full 512kb of the CC2 (the banking file is also attached). The bankswitched window is from $8000-BFFF the last one is mapped to $C000-FFFF. Pokey is also enabled but the "demo" only uses TIA. I have only tested it with PAL if there is no problem with the signature than it should also work on NTSC. Many thanks to Chad for the effort and the quick response. 78POK512.zip SOFTCELL.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Finally got a chance to try this and..... OMG! A music video on my Atari 7800! It's not just musical notes guys. My 7800 is singing to me!!!! Amazing! Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Is this only for the CC2? It won't work in prosystem EMU even if I add a header to it. I don't have a CC2 but I would still like to enjoy this tune. I can only guess that it's tained love right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+remowilliams Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) Hah - that's cool!! Sounds really neat, hell of a long playtime too! First time I tried it, I gave it 78BIOS and it played like Alvin and the Chipmunks on speed. 78QUICK played it correctly.

dark-aleph Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks Schmutzpuppe, and Chad - this is awesome! It's got me thinking... Now that we've had the ET Book Cart as an unconventional use of old technology, could the next step be a 2600 album release? I'd love to see a cart of Paul Slocum tunes with some abstract visuals. I can see it now ... it comes in a cheesy 70s LP cover - "Switched on VCS! - 8bit disco remixes of all your favourite 2600 hits!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to make a signed version to work on NTSC 7800s and I was unable to get it working. It seems the reset vector is pointing to the Pokey address space? I tried playing with it to get it to work but no luck. Maybe someone else can figure out what's up with it. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 It's got me thinking... Now that we've had the ET Book Cart as an unconventional use of old technology, could the next step be a 2600 album release? I actually do have some ideas something along that line. See my blog for a hint (and look in the thread referenced in the blog for more info). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark-aleph Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Supercat, I can't follow the technical details, but I'm guessing this is the 'hint' you referred to! I was considering perhaps trying a joystick-based version of the DDR concept. This would elevate the album concept to a much higher level. I hope this idea proves feasible! The keyboard controllers would be a closer analogue to the DDR floor pad, but can they register simultaneous keypresses? If not, they only give as many inputs as the joystick would (9 digits vs. 8 directions + fire button) and many people wouldn't have keyboard controllers... Iron Butterfly should be first IMO. Take a guess what song to go with some fun visuals. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida? HELL YEAH! Then all I'd need for the perfect retro-psychedelic experience would be to find some of that Pac-Man acid that was going around in the '80s... Or were you thinking of something else? I'm really impressed by the high quality of sound on recent homebrews. I would never have thought it possible for the humble VCS to make such sounds back in the day. Were the sonic capacities just underutilised during the heyday due to memory constraints, or have there been significant hardware/software advances that have opened up new possibilities?

You got it right. That would be amazing. No more acid for me though, I did enough in my day I should be dead so I kinda lost intrest in "Aunt Cidny" quite a while ago. I'll just get the cart and drink a few beer with my friends while playing cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 I signed the last (16k) bank of the file which includes the code but it looks as if this is not enough. The reset vector points to $f000 (reset vector was $FFFC - $FFFD right?). For example you could use the attached file. It is just 512kb of digitized music well enough for testing purposes.

DracIsBack Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 What an incredible accomplishment! It's surprisingly clear and surprisingly long. Even though I can't stand that song, the fact that you pulled that off on the 7800 is pretty amazing! Great stuff! Can't wait till someone makes digitized video happen!
