+CharlieChaplin Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Quoting a reply XXL gave me in the topic Gravity Snake: " I asked you, give me an example of my program which intentionally does not work on VBXE, Rapidus or U1MB - with an example. If you don't do it, you are simply a slanderer. " Looks like XXL is giving examples himself and we are both slanderers... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 you still slander. I do not use addresses taken by U1mb if it does not work on this equipment, there is a bug in this modification. I've already told you, you don't like it, don't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Here is quotation of Candle (still unanswered)... Quote U1MB makes use of addresses from D380 to D3FF, even if only few registers are defined in current specification, rest is RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE, and should be treated as such PORTB and PIA chip is not mapped into this address space at all xxl deliberatly makes use of that reserved address space excluding group of 3000+ atari computers (as i was told) to run his software - bravo just keep in mind this is also the case with Incognito equipped machines there is limited address space inside atari, and having to waste 256 bytes of space just to map hardware that has 4 locations is wastefull, but understandable from the point of original designers - full address decoder costs, per unit, and every penny counts U1MB reuses that wasted space - in current implementation only partially, but i rather have some space to grow, than squeeze it in the beggining and worry later how to add something new like DMA or whatever i would come with the game uses compressed executable? really? what for? to load slower?

That's the progress! ? Edited January 13, 2020 by Jacques 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a stock chip for a while made by WDC. This is a CPU that plays by the rules AND has MANY more instructions you can use. Let's keep things compatible. Why are they so full of HATE that they discriminate against a NATURAL upgrade? These people are afraid of progress. That's OK. We got this. Watch what happens (worldwide). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are afraid of progress. That's OK. We got this. Watch what happens (worldwide). Well, we are on "retro" forum talking about 30 years old hardware... Lets change the CPU, GFX chips, sound chip, storage, keyboard, joystick and maybe even motherboard to a modern replacement! Why stopping here, we shouldn't be afraid of progress and upgrade these old devices by switching them to modern PCs with NVIDIA RTX ? Personally I don't understand XXL's crusade by on purpose making stuff not working on specific hardware modifications, when he has knowledge how to make it working and when e.g. use of undocumented opcodes or different PORTB addresses are not justified by actual needs (e.g. noticeable performance gain). But maybe he is a force against "crusaders of progress" in retro community. As example "retro Amiga" seems to be dead and the whole Amiga community seems to be about who can add stronger gfx card, more RAM or newer OS replacement.
