F18A for 6502?

[cbmeeks]

So I'm building a simple 6502 homebrew and I'm thinking of using the F18A as the video controller. Anyone use the F18A in a homebrew or 6502 system?

Funny you should ask...

 

 

The AppleTi Card.

 

There were also some 3rd Party Video cards made using the TI9918 for the Apple ][.. The name Super Sprite comes to mind..

Isn't the Apple II based on the 6502?

I can't remember, anyway if it is, you'll want to check out...

Crap, you beat me!

Dang it. I keep forgetting about that card project.

 

Thanks.

Also the arcade board for Apple II so yes you can and given the simplistic architecture of the II you should have some decent program examples

I have the manual to the Sprite board. What's the arcade board?

While not an F18, the VTech Laser 2001 and CreatiVision used the TI TMS9928 chip the F18 is based on.
So there are some games and a BASIC for it.
<edit>
Yes they are 6502 based.

As far as I know, nobody in the CreatiVision community yet have fitted their console with a F18A, but I suppose it may be a matter of time before anyone takes up the challenge.

in a nutshell the same thing, no speech synth, and a 8910 instead of a 8912 for AY sound /music

There are one or two people in the 99/4A subforum making a 9995-based system with an F18A video subsystem. I can't remember the details right off, I'll have to see if I can dig up the info.

That would be awesome! I'd like to see that.

Both pnr's Minicortex (9995 based) and 6502 code to use with the F18A are mentioned here:
