Re: WIP: Reversi (was Othello)

I think MESS is the most accurate emulator of all, since it's based on MAME source.

CreatiVEmu is the most user-friendly.

CvEmu2 is also very accurate but lacks sound.

Re: WIP: Reversi (was Othello)

So if I'd be itching to program my own 32K EPROM to replace the one in my DiagnostiCart, is there anything in particular I need to know? That one has DIP switches for sure, even if future carts don't have to have them. Hm, 32K equals 27256. I need to see if I've got some of those. Would a 27128 wor...

Re: Composite AV output planned!

I'm almost done with the tutorial. It's 99% ready.

I'll publish it with next website update, scheduled for the first week or April :-)

Air-Sea Attack... Sonic Invader... :D I know it's a "waste", but I think as a "collector". Single game...

Re: Text/Graphic adventures

Well they all say the same: the problem is with colours. 2 colours per 8x8 pixels block is a major problem. As for the "bitmap mode", it's clearly stated tha...

Re: WIP: Reversi (was Othello)

By the way, I still prefer getting 1 single game per cartridge. :-)
