Re: Who would be so kind to test my 6 games on *real hardware*?

@username@ Thanks Did you try Bomber on a real Salora Manager? Did you also try it on a real Creativision? How different is the Salora Manager from a Creativision? My code for displaying graphics is very rudimentary. I am using text mode 1: https://github.com/Fabrizio-Caruso/CROSS-LIB/blob/master/sr...

Re: My homebrew games for the Laser 500 and VZ200

It is a memory issue indeed. You need a memory expansion for them. They should run on the real hardware as people have posted videos of the real hardware running them.

Re: Who would be so kind to test my 6 games on *real hardware*?

@username@ the problem comes from CreatiVe when I use it with a folder different from its default ROM. I am able to load all the games as long as I load them directly with FunnyMu (or Mame).

Re: Who would be so kind to test my 6 games on *real hardware*?

THANKS a lot cheshirenoir! Would you be so kind to take some pictures and share them with me? My goal is to understand which ones work and if not how they fail. In particular Bombenr (8k version) and Shoot (18k) may not work because they don't even load in FunnyMu. All games except Shoot have very f...

My homebrew games for the Laser 500 and VZ200

Is anyone here interested in trying my 6 homebrew games for a multitude of systems (Creativision, Laser 500, VZ 200 and about 200 more vintage systems)? All these games have been written in C and share the very same game code thanks to my universal framework Cross-Lib: https://github.com/Fabrizio-Ca...

Who would be so kind to test my 6 games on *real hardware*?

Would someone here please be so kind to test my 6 home-brew games on real hardware? The (beta) binaries are here: https://github.com/Fabrizio-Caruso/CROSS-LIB/releases/tag/creativision The 16k cartridge files work fine on both Mame/Mess and FunnyMu. On the other hand the 8k and 18k files only work u...

Re: PSG sound

@username It works GREAT!
I still have a problem but it may be unrelated to the code. Why do I always here a buzzing sound with Mess/Mame when emulating the Creativision? Is this a Mess/Mame bug? I get the buzzing sound even when the Creativision produces no sound at all.

Re: PSG sound

Thanks a lot!

A single beep will improve my games a lot.
After that I will read the PSG specs and try to figure out how to use other commands for things like noise sounds.

Re: PSG sound

@username, how do I program the SN76489 on the Creativision? How do I write onto its registers on the Creativision?

Re: PSG sound

I need to do something quite simple. I just need short (blocking is fine) beep sounds. If possible I would like to have a couple of noise sounds. I am doing this in C (with little or no Assembly). I am doing this to add minimal sound support to the Creativision target in my Cross-Lib universal 8-bit...
