Very welcome! I appreciate the effort that went into creating this in the first place!

I haven’t used MAME in a long time, but hopefully some of the others who were trying this game will be able to confirm if this version works ok.

Mark

mouse on pc1512 is db9

thanks for the merge, RB!

so far I've found that

Choplifter
david's midnight magic
lode runner
diamond mine
Ultima IV

use the artifact colors

I'm also looking at some devices that can use it, but need CMD10 implementing. The device is using SEND_CID to check the CRC to determine whether the card has been changed.

I will make an RS232 patchbay device that lets you rewire the serial connections and plug in another device downstream at some point.

Fun find of the day:

printing a mac screendump to an imagewriter:

caps-lock + command shift + 4

(don't know exactly, but no caps lock is just do current window?)

from Apple Macintosh Encyclopedia
By Gary Phillips

I like how he says "for screen dump, see screen (current) printed."

How come on the Punchout. This only works on the top screen. Not showing the bottom screen with it. Window mode. Single screen.

mame punchout -view Horizontal -bgfx_screen_chains crt-geom-deluxe,pillarbox_left_horizontal,pillarbox_right_horizontal -view0 Horizontal -bgfx_screen_chains crt-geom-deluxe,pillarbox_left_horizontal,pillarbox_right_horizontal

Is there away just do the bottom screen alone?

Old, but works for me.

Roadmap TODO:
- Convert CD-Block HLE logging to 2021;

- Fix remaining CD-Block HLE code smells;

- Add a CD-Block LLE stub driver (in etc folder?), having it disabled means that nobody will ever look at it.
iirc the comms with the actual CD drive uses serial, which should be already addressed by upcoming Phil B. SH1 changes?

- Fix CD-Block ISO9660 parsing: it just reads the first sector worth of files and forgets the rest.
This isn't an issue in most games, but the few that does access ID scopes outside the range (Sengoku Blade and Chaos Seed) are quite high profile too.

- Understand what exactly Amagi Shien and Game no Tatsujin 2 expects from the CD Block in order to not stall.
My gut instinct tells me that "PAUSE" should eventually become a "STANDBY", but if I have to follow docs waiting for default 180 seconds looks too overkill.
It would make much more sense to be 5 seconds instead?

- Retrieve VDP1 timings from games that clearly are doing the wrong fetch at the wrong time (examples: Druid, Elevator Action Returns, both D&D, Galaxy Fight)

- Understand the correct logic for VDP1 CEF / framebuffer swaps (Blazing Tornado bare Versus screen, Cyberbots, Doom)

- Understand what Sega was thinking in Greatest Nine '97 / '98 and correlated spin-offs when accessing the SMPC handshake bit after slave on command:
(pictured gnine98s, others behaves the same on different places)

I am not sure - Fedora's QuaZip was fixed so that it can be installed, I guess other distributions are going to take care of that as well at some point.

I read people are working on Casio keyboard emulation. Here is a list of Casio & Yamaha patent numbers and their meanings I had identified. (Websearch the patent numbers to read the texts.)

That's probably right, although the loopback mode probably shouldn't be excluded. Writing the msr don't use update_msr so the pcjr (which appears to be the only machine which writes the msr in POST) shoudn't be affected.

since I'm experimenting, why not have a function for giving the clock rate and also the time as a number of clocks. It gets kind of fiddly doing the calculations by hand.

Microsoft Defender messing with it. Warning pop up for the first time. https://www.mameworld.info/ubbthrea...ded&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1

Woot. Just won 80 rainbow disks... I'll post when they arrive and I've read them in

Thanks for having a look, AJR!

Ok, I didn't realize there was a distinction between the two. I see the word timer and I think they're equivalent.



The imagewriter uses 2 different clock rates, one for 9600 and 2400 baud, and one that's 1/8th that rate for 1200 and 300.

So I put a counter in for the other rate that basically delays the clock signal for 8 counts. That seems to work fine:

Here's c64 printing at 300 baud (seems to work on initial testing):

./mame c64 -user rs232 -user:rs232:rs232 imagewriter





changing the baud rate dip switches, resetting the printer, and then
open 1,2,0,chr$(6) for 300 baud
chr$(8) for 1200 baud
chr$(10) for 2400 baud
(c64 doesn't support 9600 baud) (I think NI means not implemented)

I think the correct fix is just to call get_rim_value() and mask out the bits that aren't IM_SID, based on what the other code's doing.

Something like m_ietemp = ((get_rim_value() & IM_SID) == IM_SID);

Either do your job as a moderator and moderate, or appoint someone who will, then. Miss me with your "a bloo bloo censorship" nonsense.
