Looking forward to that too!

Works much better!

I think what he's suggesting is to first read all 8 bits of the raw famicom serial data one time into a variable that you can use with follow-up conditionals to parse, which would enable you to theoretically handle all 256 possible combinations of simultaneous key presses.

Great work Wayne! I just had a go at playing it. Music takes a while to load but plays fine with latest ROMvX0 and video staying sync-ed. (On a tangential note, I couldn't get the latest BabelFish to work and I had to fall back on the SDROM version.) As Hans reported earlier, you can move Willy the ...

The gtBASIC pdf says RAND is only good for initialisation code. I'm guessing it uses something hardware dependent like initial SRAM state to randomize the value so you won't see variation in the emulator and even in hardware it doesn't change after initialisation. See line 554 in https://raw.githubu...

Thanks Hans, at least I know what I need to do now. I'm in the middle of several projects, so will have to figure out the path of least resistance.

This is a known issue with ROMv5a. viewtopic.php?p=3182

Earlier in the year I chatted with at67 and walter about getting some scripts set up on the Gigatron Discord to automatically post when the gigatron-...
