thorfdbg Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It seems to only be on the opening scene. I can't say for sure I only played a little bit. image.jpg This is normal, nothing is broken here. The graphics left to the black stripe to the left would simply be invisible on real hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NML32 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Great, I'll mark it as good on my sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 So as of today's build NML32's spreadsheet is at 100% compatibility! Many thanks to Phaeron for the help with the help with Spider City and Turmoil. If anyone has any failures please add them to NML32s sheet for investigation. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jugac64 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi, if anybody is interested on buying an FPGA board to run the Atari 800XL core, the MCC-216 VGA is offered by the manufacturer on ebay USA for US$129.99 http://www.ebay.com/itm/271954485677 Don't forget that the MCC-216 VGA only supports two resolutions: 720x576 pixels / 50Hz - PAL mode 640x480 pixels / 60Hz - NTSC mode It is recommendable to use it with a monitor that supports both resolutions.

foft Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Of course there are still a few small bugs... This is the biggest one I'm aware of. Any hints? I've found that turbo freezer saves it so I can run it without running the whole demo, but still need to add some code to pause (repeat the same frame) it in the broken bits so I can debug....Looks to be dynamic hscroll related judging by the logo at the top.

phaeron Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 It is doing HSCROL-per-line, but it's pretty well behaved: values in 0-3, all written right after WSYNC, no DMACTL-per-line, and no 4K playfield wrapping. If you have abnormal playfield DMA emulated, the timing might be off -- try disabling that and see if it fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NML32 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 How do you do a save with the freezer? I've tried on the Mist and MCC and both give an error when I try to save to file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have abnormal playfield DMA emulated, the timing might be off -- try disabling that and see if it fixes it. Sounds pretty vanilla, hmmmm. Yeah I replicated the antic DMA clock circuit, quirks and all. I trigger start/stop based on cycles and hscrol setting. I'll reset the shift register at the end of each scan line and see if that works around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) How do you do a save with the freezer? I've tried on the Mist and MCC and both give an error when I try to save to file.Do you insert a formatted writeable disk? It takes 20 secs to save too. Edit: I was doing it on the de1, but the sd logic is the same on de1 and mcc. Mist is different. Edited August 15, 2015 by foft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NML32 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I didn't have a blank disk mounted I'll try that next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NML32 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hmm, I can't figure out how to use the Freezer function. Is anyone able to explain how to save and load step by step? Sorry I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) What error do you get? I press S the F then enter the file name then press enter. The file created must be loaded from the freezer menu, not from Dos. To do that press E then F then enter file name.

NML32 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I'm having a problem with the S part right now. Should I be able to save to the game's atr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 No you save to a real blank writeable disk, or formatted writeable disk atr mounted on the sd card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NML32 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 @foft has your A8 and 5200 core been updated to utilize the new wireless joysticks that ARG (MCC) is advertising? NEW now the MCC-216 supports in addition the TORID wireless USB Joypad ! Towards the bottom of the page it states the Atari 800 core supports the Torid wireless joystick. * Currently supported from MCC-216 and MCC-TV (Cores: Atari 800XL and ATARI 5200) http://store.arcaderetrogaming.com/?product=xeox-wireless-joypad-pc-usb Will your core support the Torid joysticks on the MIST as well? Thanks, Mark K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Yep. We're just doing a few final improvements then they'll be uploaded. There is a version on my website you can use in the meantime. It will not be supported on the mist. It's not hid, it's more like an Xbox 360 joystick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jugac64 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Hi Mark, how are you. I guess this must be a lot of work, but... would it be possible you map the Torid joypad's extra buttons to support these keys, so we can full control the A8 core from the MCC's wireless joypad, just like with the CDTV remote control from the Chameleon? F5 - Help F6 - Start F7 - Select F8 - Option F9 - Reset F10 - Cold start (clear base 64KB RAM and reset) F11 - Select drive 1 and cold start F12 - System settings menu Please! thanks, Juan Edited October 19, 2015 by jugac64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) All of them except help are there. The latest build isn't yet on my site/svn though. The Mcc team were going to put the release candidate (v1.3) on their site last Saturday (for mcc216 and mcctv) but I haven't checked it. Edit: Yep it's up Edited October 20, 2015 by foft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jugac64 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks Mark! awesome I am waiting for the Torid joypad + MCC-TV to test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
