Apple ][+ Core

It's possible to add mouse support? Arkanoid on Apple II using mouse is top!

I wrote a batch to convert all dsk files from the TOSEC 2018-03-08 to nib files, just put it in the same folder as the dsk files and the dsk2nib.exe

Thanks!

May be Machintosh Plus core is more worth improvements?

I didn't find it very interesting, it's just a black and white machine. Actually never managed to install the OS to the hard drive
But probably a good candidate for a second core of ijor's FX68k CPU. Maybe later this year.

after refreshing my memory i agree that Apple II is more interesting and suitable fir FPGA. Earlier color Machintosh computers a little over spec. Probably OK for MiSTer but unlikely for MiST as it requires 68030 CPU.

It's interesting to make IIgs version as well. Cycle accurate 65C816 is available and pretty well tested in SNES core.

Thanks Slingshot for new update, I quote this too:

Yes, the GS is better and more interesting than early MACs. Seems it's a completely different computer, with backward compatibility to Apple II.

It's possible, just please show me some technical docs about it.

The top is Arkanoid on SNES using the mouse! I've played several hours in it - thanks to CPU bug in earlier version giving me unlimited amount of lives

Different tastes, but I found it quite ugly
There are much better games on Apple II, ThunderChopper is amazing, also SkyFox.

Yesterday I tested around 70 games. The only I didn't get to boot was Leisure Suit Larry. I've put both games now in my SD card

OMG, 6805 MCU with an unknown firmware, have to take a deep breath before doing it (first need to crack what it does, the exact circuit won't be replicated).

I think it's quite acceptable now, LORES colors weren't there even for the ][+ core.
I've put it to mist-binaries:
https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-bina ... s/appleIIe

Some plans for the future:
- Fix all colors
- Disk write support
- Loadable keyboard and video ROMs
- A big ram card (Ramworks?) with several megabytes
- Hard disk interface

Not sure what you mean about LORES colors. They are correct in the old Apple ][+ core.

I don't think so, type the BASIC program here:

I went by the COLOR DEMOSOFT on the DOS 3.3 master. It shows the LORES colors, and runs the kaleidoscope correctly. That doesn't work in the new core...

It could be that it looks good, but if some BASIC commands gives wrong colors, then something is definitely broken.

It's not that the colors are wrong... All lores color output is scrambled in a crazy way. Just run the color demo and see what it does, or watch the kaleidoscope. Something is strange with it... This didn't happen in the old ][ core, but I can see you had to rewrite the output for 15khz completely.

Anyway, I don't think your GIT repo is up to date or I would pull it and try to help.

I've detached the Apple IIe to preserve the + code in the original:

I'm even more confused now. Your repo now only contains the old Apple II+ core. Where is your new //e core source?

It's not- I compiled it and it's the old VGA II+ core...

Are you sure you're at a6583dce4b7955de5580c3184bad5c8aa7b77bf9?

I just did a clean git clone of your whole directory...

Then no idea, of course in the history of the repo, there is the Apple II+.
The latest revision's mist_top contains the config string:

Code: Select all

  constant CONF_STR : string :=
   "AppleII;;"&
   "S,NIB;"&
   "O1,CPU Type,6502,65C02;"&
   "O23,Monitor,Color,B&W,Green,Amber;"&
   "OBC,Scanlines,Off,25%,50%,75%;"&
   "O5,Joysticks,Normal,Swapped;"&
   "O6,Mockingboard S4,off,on;"&
"T7,Cold reset;";


So you must have a CPU Type menu item in the OSD. If you don't have, then it's not the latest version.

That version is not what is in your GIT repo. The version in your GIT repo now is the old II+ core.
