Re: gtBASIC

I have tested it. It is better. You can move the figure and also jump. (On my hardware, a second feedback would be nice) But it is not yet possible to make specific fast movements. It is also only feasible in the fastest video mode.

Re: gtBASIC

I tested it again. I can't play it on my hardware. I use a Gigatron with PluggyReloaded and the 128k extension from lb3361 (extension-retro). It only reacts very sporadically to keyboard input. Sometimes not at all and sometimes hesitantly. When it responds to the keyboard, pauses are required betwe...

Re: gtBASIC

I had the same sync problem. It was only fixed with the current ROMvX0.

Re: gtBASIC

I have looked at it. It requires ROMvX0. It can be played in the emulator (at67emu). But it reacts very sluggish on keystrokes. On real hardware I couldn't get it to run. The game control does not react. The graphics look good. @wbushby Thanks for the enthusiasm, stay tuned. I'm glad about all and e...

Re: 2048 game

Thanks for a new game. Very nice. What is the difference between the 32k and 64k version?

Re: New one Gigatron in Poland

Very nice, clean work. The white paint covers the conductor tracks, which immediately gives a different picture. Also very nice solution for the DAC (R9).
If you want to follow lb3361 recommendation, you can get a PCB from me.

Re: Roadmap and status of Gigatron TTL

I don't really feel able to write ROM code, otherwise I'd love to help. In order to get more space in the ROM, Marcel certainly had the idea in ROM 6 with: # XXX Pucrunch (well documented) or eximozer 3.0.2 (better compression) https://github.com/mist64/pucrunch With ZIP I achieve up to 50% savings ...

Gigatron Soundcard

I became aware of the SN76489 through the "Tandy 3 Voice Sound - SN76489 ISA Soundcard Project" (https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=54249). Since it only has write registers, it is well suited for extension to lb3361 extension-retro. I started making a sound card for this extension. I ...
