SSD was the trigger to my research, and it is just a limited subset of pci-e devices. I looked at PCI-E because it is the present norm. PCI is legacy (less than our STs), and SATA seems limited to storage. IDE is nice and already done, but it seems deprecated as well to me. Well at least, the last t...

Funny, yesterday I was daydreaming about not about PCI but PCIe (root idea : ssd). Tu sum up, I could not find a specialized IC (maybe I do not know what to look for), so one would have to start with a FPGA implementation of a PCIe Root complex to plug into the ACSI, maybe implement/use switch contr...

The ball speed increase early in the game may need some fine-tuning, it looks a bit too sudden/large to me... I see, I can extends the time of slow speed at the beginning. As for fine-tuning the speed, my game model is too coarse that I reached the most that I could do. It's the consequence of a "l...

Thanks

Hello, I did another alpha version for this end of year : https://github.com/sporniket/sporny-wrecking-ball/releases/tag/1.0.0-alpha-5 . All the game mechanics are implemented, so I started to do some levels. The game is not finished though, but if bugs and rage do not kill you, you have around 14 l...

Other than finding whether the shield is in contact with any stacked extension ? maybe put isolating tape (kapton) on the shield where the extension is ?

I will sound like Captain Obvious, but I guess that as long as said TT software has been written to cope with the absence of TT specific hardware (TT-RAM, 68030 instructions/cache, super high resolution) as well as specific calls in TOS 3 (new Bios/xbios/gemdos/vdi/aes call or behaviour), then it sh...

Then back to topic, to constitute the "productivity quick start disk image", I understand that you started something that address your needs -or is on its way to address them fully-. When you are satisfied enough, just publish it and speak about it as a starting reference and it will either address ...

Just throwing this in: GPL was a good licence then to get Open Source into the heads and started. It was the next logical step from Public Domain software. But nowadays it is just a licence that makes everything more complicated than it helps due to its viral effect. In modern times, Apache 2.0 lic...

wow yes, a map !

Very neat. Not my type of game, but it's gorgeous.

A very nice corner

Hum, maybe the expectation about color signals from a VGA cables are differents from a SCART signal ? (impedance, frequencies, noise tolerances, etc...)

(well I'm a noob in electronics, so those are just random guesses)

Basically I had paths like this: fp = fopen("data/cube.lto"); Which always worked fine under Hatari (even under windows with that '/')... on the hardware I need to use escaped backslashes: fp = fopen("data\\cube.lto"); Maybe it's just Pure C versions or HDD drivers or something but I thought you'd ...

Thanks for your feedback. About the levels, I am currently working on a textual representation of a set of levels and a converter. A level include bricks layout and some text to display before. I am a bit ambitious on this point as I am writing a parser and use a small subset of markdown. Because th...

I just gave it a little try and it's really nice to play.

Playability wise, I'm a bit annoyed that holding up do not make the droid jump continuously. I may be too used to Mario, Rick dangerous and such platformer.

I saw the video, the improvement is impressive. I might give it a try soon.

In C the tricky part would be to setup TOS to call your C function. I believe that you will have to write a few lines of assembly, with a bit of relocation. Maybe some linker magic could be of use (I say 'magic' because I saw some advanced use here and there but didn't dived further)

It's that time again, time to release a new apha — the forth one—. This time the variable length bricks are not only for show. The demo level demonstrate a full width brick. Anyway, this will help design levels that are not too long to clear.

Seems interesting.

... movem.w (a2)+,a0/a3/a4/a5/a6 ; 32 .... now that we have $ffff in top word of a0/a3/a4/a5/a6, we dont need to write the whole long!! :) ... (A2) [Table] (longs) points to the address of the next needed data position Hum, to me it seems that you cannot use this optimized movem, as your address ar...

yeah, my little one did like it like that too...

**edit** ...so i consider keeping it like that.

Pic is ok on real falcy and the sound mutes if you select 6kHz sampling,had a quick look at it and tested it to see that my vasmm install was still ok.

I am still working on this project, and focused on adding some usual mechanics (a.k.a. special bricks) for now it is just display without real effect, but I wanted to post an update with another alpha release anyway . Ha, I fixed my supexecs call, the display should works on Falcons and with Emutos ...

From your pictures, I deduce the following : * Yellow = Red + Green => the green signal of the ST is wired to both red and green (either between ST - OSCC, or OSCC - Monitor), * Confirmed by the picture of the palette, where the red color patch is black, i.e red signal is wired to nowhere. *** edit ...
