Gigatron Hackers

Something old and new for testing. I reworked the old themes and made these kind of fast. All in one fractal programs ascfract, fpfract2, intfract and longfract. //ROMv6 and 32K Random dot fractals rndbrot and rndjulia. //ROMv6 and 64K Eurojackpot simulation lottosimu2. //ROMv6 and 32K Offcourse sam...

I waited for couple of months before changing to solid ROMv6. Found empty desk where to put retro gear

I also went to GLCC 2.3 and compiled all my C-programs to it. Everything seems to be working as usual.

Allright works now. Tryed ROMv5a and ROMv6 compiled programs with these emulators.

It seems that the latest compiler has some changes to the console and my programs seem to tilt when run in ROMv5a or ROMv6. So problems lies in the compiler or should I change somethings in the code. Its workaround to avoid using stdio.h and printf/scanf. Here is some of the code: #include <stdlib.h...

I didn't know how to send these files other than doing it here.

Can you add these to dropbox collection. These 5 files cover pretty much work I have done here. You can remove the older files.
Executables work in ROMv5a 32k machines.

In youtube there is a channel where they do "battle royale" with 8-bit or 16-bit machines. They measure how Mandelbrot performs in each machine. If you have spare time have a look. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPSrOWYluVLIwjHSJKuO8UU8BTT3uceqU https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPSrO...

So far I have found out: Long integer version worked with 8192(13-bit) multiplier/divider and numbers fit in long integer space. Enough to accurate and maybe zoom in.160x120 screen works. Integer version now works with 32(5-bit) multiplier/divider and numbers fit in integer space. Basic view is so a...

Still I kept wondering about proper integer fractals. I modified the long integer version a bit with trial and error. This is not good at any standards but something to measure how fast it could be. This is not final version. Something to work on. Test for Mandelbrot fractal, screen size 40x30, iter...

Thanx. Good to know. Seems like floating point calculations are more benefitting from dev7.rom. I also ran gtemuAT67 to check and it was only maybe 0,5 sec faster. Question about gtemuAT67 what to put in loader_config. Now its: ; an example of how to use external ROMS, (no limit until out of memory)...

I made a test fpfract2 vs longfract with Gigatron 64K RAM and ROMv5a: Test for Mandelbrot fractal, screen size 40x30, iterations 16. Fpfract2.gt1 - parameters: 1,40,30,15. Took: 6 min 7,53 sec Longfract.gt1 - parameters: 1,40,30. Took: 2 min 39,09 sec Can someone test these same way with _dev7 progr...
