Re: Emulation on CV

Use A000R to run.

This is state-of-the-art BASIC from 1976!

Re: Laser 2001 & Salora Manager - official thread

The BIOS routine uses the characters at ROM location $F871. These are set to spaces ($C0) in the non-logo ROM. Perhaps the same in the Laser 2001?
In the CV they are $DD $DE $DF $E0 $FB $FC $FD $FE.

Emulation on CV

Here's a little bit of fun. It's the CV emulating an Apple 1 - or should I say, recompiling Apple 1 code to rebase for CV memory. The Apple 1 PIA is emulated, along with the teletype display. At startup, you are in the default Woz monitor, which you can use to dump memory etc. Type A000R runs the AS...

Re: Laser 2001 & Salora Manager - official thread

I took a quick look at the posted Laser 2001 BASIC Learning Typing Tape, and here's what I got. It uses a 4k null leadin and leadout - with the payload packed in the middle as one block - unlike the CV with it's little 64byte packets. The sync marker is 0x1A5995A01. This is the same for Sonic Invade...

Re: save to pc

Thinking further, does soemone with CV hardware knowledge have information on the GPIO pinouts? This would make it easier to connect than centronics, and open up the world of Arduino, Pi etc. Also, GPIO would allow you to write your own protocol which fits with 6502 better.

Just a thought.

Re: save to pc

it probably is feasible (although not trivial) to build that one too, unless of course we come up with even better solutions like polling SD card as seen on other, similar systems. Again it is a matter of mixing hardware and software support. Polling SD/MMC is quite simple. The problem would be spe...

CreatiVision SDK libraries

Source : http://sourceforge.net/projects/cvsdk/f ... 206.tar.gz

Doxygen docs : http://sourceforge.net/projects/cvsdk/f ... 206docs.7z

These are very much a work in progress. Number one on the todo list is to add the demo code.

Re: Progress

Another update. Bad news Sadly, we are not officially part of CC65. I'm just too old to care whether code has tabs or spaces and so on, so blame it on me! You can still use my unofficial WIP though, so hopefully not a huge impact. Good news PkK is reviewing our version of his libcv and libcvu, so we...

Re: FPGA Creativision / Tech Docs

The graphics disappearing is normal too! Quality control obviously slept through those ;) Also you'll find the sound stops in Crazy Chicken, and that's normal too. Fortunately, mobsie posted some video of those running on a real CV, so you're fine. Maybe it's different in FPGA, but using RESET in an...
