PVcollib

Hi all,

I forgot to post here that i'm currently working on a lib based on works of newcoleco (Amy Purple). 

The lib uses last sdcc version, is fully functionnal and i'm now going to do the wiki page to help people to install it and doing games with it

It is available here : https://github.com/alekmaul/pvcollib

Next step will be to add SGM support (how to detect it, to use it) and also F18A support (same functions).

If you want to help me with the lib, you're welcome !

New release 1.2.0 pushed on github

Looks good. I will try it out on a future project. 

 

Would be nice to have some easier access the sgm features etc.

SGM and f18a are on the way, don't worry. But I need to know how Phoenix handles SGM before (don't know if it uses same ports).

I suspect the same. I'm making a sgm & f18a test right now. I am testing it on f18a/sgm colecovision & and also on a phoenix console. 

 

I havn't found any incompatibility.

Yep, I got confirmation, it's the same. I can work on it.

I began to integrate the f18a initialization, I will had a default bitmap mode and also adapt the tool gfx2col to have the good palette management for f18a.

If you want to participate to the lib, don't hesitate

I doubt I could add anything to it that you haven't already covered.

 

I am , occasionally, writing a c library to reuse game code written in the coleco library for colecovision to produce a pc / vga game. I got a few routines done already.

 

The idea was I could just run a complete coleco game through it and output a vga dos game.
