Re: Memory maps, chip documentation

Hi,

I checked your doc and found it mostly correct, except a few mistakes I marked in "yellow".

Please read the attached doc with my fixes. Maybe something is still missing, but it's correct as for the "function" keys and the buttons.

Thanks Tom! :-)

Suggestion: a piece of toothpick with a drip of glue would do good?

Re: Memory maps, chip documentation

This is great news. :-) In what manner could I help you "double check" the infos you put on these docs? Please tell me... PS: you don't have a Diagnosticart, do you? Well the Diagnosticart contains the "Keyboard test" which actually gets inputs from all 16 directions. In fact if you put the joy in a...

Re: Memory maps, chip documentation

I am afraid not, but I can rewrite it or even put together some more formal developer's documentation that eventually can be hosted on the main site instead of sprinkled in the forum threads. A wiki perhaps, with limited editing options to not get a lot of garbage and disruption? I',m not too famil...

Re: Creativision centronics printer cable pinout

Thanks Tom. I would use the infos on a forthcoming "homebrews" I'm adding to the CreatiVEmu website.

Question is: is there a way to understand which part of the connector (console-side) is top, and which is down?

Re: Memory maps, chip documentation

> However neither FunnyMu nor CvEmu2 will detect diagonal movement when reading these addresses? I suppose no emulators will detect the diagonal movements because there's no such mapped key on the PC keyboard. But from my memory, the games are fully playable both on FunnyMu and CvEmu2, by emulating...

Re: Memory maps, chip documentation

OK I confirm on the "Second Book" appendix is all the infos you need.

The locations for joysticks are 17 and 19, plus there's many more for keypresses and buttons.

Get the book from this link:

Page 85 and after ;)

Re: Memory maps, chip documentation

Just checked my BASIC listings. I used to peek locations 27 and 29 (decimal) in order to find which key was pressed.
I believe I got the info from the Wizzdom newsletters or the "Second Book of Programs" appendix.
