Re: CreatiVision Emulation on the DS/DSi

I've updated ColecoDS to version 10.1 with some improvements to the CreatiVision emulation. I've fixed the ADC decimal-mode bug that prevented the new DiagnosticsC cart from successfully running. This also fixes all of the common games that would show scores in HEX which is not correct - the carry w...

Re: Recover damaged CPU Diagnostic ROM

Incredible work, Óscar! Looks like the CreatiVision emulator (and my ColecoDS) use the same 6502 emulation core and it also fails. At first it looked like I was getting illegal opcodes (0x34 and 0x37) but after talking with Óscar, he is fairly sure there are no undocumented opcodes being used... so ...

Re: Old dude from Utah USA

ColecoDS does not directly support cassette loading for the CreatiVision. From my readme: Cassette loading is not directly supported but you can load in BASIC listings from an ASCII source such as you would find at https://www.madrigaldesign.it/creativemu/ To get BASIC programs to work, you copy any...

CreatiVision Emulation on the DS/DSi

So this is the semi-official thread where I'll post updates to my emulator for the Nintendo DS/DSi (people also run it on the 2DS/3DS/XL units but I don't use them). ColecoDS is an emulator written for the DS/DSi that emulates 11 different systems all based around common hardware - one of those syst...

Re: Basic prgs to Cart

Yeah, I noticed that you can't move back to your starting position. But that wasn't the problem I had with the original BAS->CART version. In that version, I simply couldn't move in any direction other than UP and even that was inconsistent. The not moving back to your start position is mildly incon...

Re: Basic prgs to Cart

One game that was behaving oddly was WizzardMind but I've since discovered it was pilot error... that game uses both control sticks (one to select the colored peg and the other to place it on the board... why I have no idea!). The other game that seemed weird (but I need to read the instructions) is...

Re: Basic prgs to Cart

So these are really neat - been fooling around with them on my ColecoDS emulator. I have noticed that joystick input is hit or miss... for example, one of the better BASIC games worth playing is Kapooka kapooka.gif This is on the BASIC compilation cart 1 - but it doesn't work right in various emulat...
