Home Page Forums MAME MAME SVN builds - new driver flood

For what I can tell:
When pressing F1 or F2 gets back to title screen but actively selects the mode, once that the title screen animation finishes you can play with numpad for player 1, WASZ for player 2.

I *think* there's also an "escape from the thing on bottom" button tied with SPACE for p1.

Game also runs too fast, compared to this ->

Thanks for the answer, Kale.
I will try again the game.

For amusement I've did this tilemap tester for Sharp X1.

Fits into the -cart option of our x1.cpp

Is MAME/MESS the only emulator (Sharp X1) with the cart option?
Bokosuka Wars (Cart Hack) and Kagirinaki Tatakai (Cart Hack) are working on MAME/MESS?

Most likely, for sure Takeda doesn't emulate it.
Cart hacks were made by me via a RAM content rip back in the day. Haven't tried them since then but I guess they still works, due of the simplicity of the interface.

It's known that at very least a cartridge BASIC was released back then.

On my older version (2013) it is working but no more with the actual version.

Tangible progress

Nice! The vt240 should be hook-up-able via diserial or bitbang to SIMH and other things to do ReGIS demos etc from there.

EDIT: How does one access the setup menu on the vt240, btw? I would expect 'f3' or 'f5', but neither seems to work...

EDIT2: Figured it out. For some reason, the LK201 emulation has Setup(F3) mapped to NumLock by default, rather than F3.

EDIT3: any chance we can get the vt240 driver to use the VR201 mono crt, while vt241 uses the VR241 RGB color crt?

VR201 came in 3 variations: VR201-A (black and white, P4 phosphor), VR201-B (black and green, P1 phosphor), VR201-C (black and amber, P3 phosphor)
(phosphors are a bit of a guess, but those were the types most commonly used on mono displays, afaik)

VR241 uses typical RGB phosphors, most likely P22R, P22G, P22B.

I have the color/mono select in the config menu. I'd be inclined to leave it like that and just add the other colors as options for simplicity.

Here's a binary of a win32 64bit command line static linked gnuplot that supports regis https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B42wazyw4RhCY25jMm90WWN4M00 . If you use "nc -l -e gnuplot.exe -p 1234" with "mame vt240 -bitbngr socket.127.0.0.1:1234" you can connect them together. There are still significant display issues but you should be able to get one plot to work. Don't forget to use "set terminal regis".
