Re: gtBASIC
Nice work! I've never played the original game, but I'm assuming I'm not supposed to be able to jump through walls @2:48. Is the "game over" screen supposed to prompt you to restart the game or is resetting the Gigatron always necessary?

Re: gtBASIC
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.

Re: gtBASIC
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 ...

Re: gtBASIC
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...

Re: gtBASIC
Sorry for the crappy video. Still trying to figure out my new (to me) camera in low light settings. I don't have the latest ROMvX0 loaded (mine is probably from ~May 2022?) and I'm definitely not running it on a traditional hardware setup, but I'm seeing it lose sync once the music starts playing. W...
