Apple ][+ Core

[RykoPrins]

Thank you very much for adding the language card! Although it really needs 2 drives and an 80 column card Apple Pascal runs!

Great update

Excellent, thank you!

a new version with Mockingboard model A (two AY-3-8913 chips for six audio channels) in slot 4

can somebody send some nib to test this card ? i have test with Mockingboard (19xx)(Sweet Micro Systems) Disk 1 and 2 very good for a apple ii

[wsoltys]

Just download the desired .dsk and use dsk2nib?

[breiztiger]

Thanks i Know How to convert dsk to nib

But i search for disk or nib That utilize this card like gammes or demos

[wsoltys]

Unfortunately only a few games support it: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/228710 ... d-support/
I found a nice demo but it was iie only :/

You might have luck here:

Just a question, I was testing Arkanoid for Apple II, great port specially if you play using mouse. Will be mouse support added to this great core?

Regads,

Salva

Sure, I'll have a look at it. But can't promise when due to lack of time.

Don't worry Take your time

There are several mockingboard musics / demos in dsk format there, which you can convert to nib. Unfortunately, it sounds rather distorted / unacurate: http://www.ctrl-pomme-reset.fr/french-touch/
Do you experience the same?

[wsoltys]

From what I can see all demos listed on the page are for the Apple IIe and compatible with the IIgs and IIc. The core only supports the II+. I dunno if this is the issue you see or if its due to the mocking board implementation. Unfortunately I'm a little out of business and would need to relearn the little I knew and I don't have the time for it yet.

[farvardin]

ah sorry, you're right, I don't know much about Apple series of computers, I didn't notice they were different machines. It's probably related.

[rittwage]

It should be almost no work to support IIe. Most had an extra 64k card that works pretty much like a larger language card, and 80-column video. The later IIe had a 65c02, but I don't think most things require that?

[Newsdee]

I think it needs language ROM for the IIe. The 65c02 and a couple of extra ROMs are for the Enhanced //e.
(I've recently pimped up my real IIe into a //e just for fun - games are probably still compatible with the IIe)

[rittwage]

It would also be super-nice if the core supported the scandoubler-disable switch in mist.ini, or had 15khz mode at all.

[Xtro]

I am trying that core on a 15khz display and it doesn't work. Would be great this core updated to support mist.ini scandoubler disable.

Did you try this release?:
https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-bina ... appleii%2B

This has corrected sync signals and capable of component (YUV) output as well, although I don't remember if it has a scandoubler disabled option or not... Does the long pressing of the middle button on the front panel help?

[Xtro]

No, I am using the latest core but only 31khz supported.
My MiST buttons only works the leftmost one

[slingshot]

Experimented a bit with this core, and added 15kHz support (attached). YPbPr also available in both 15kHz and 30kHz modes.

Anyone knows what hardware extension Prince of Persia requires? 80-column card, or something more?

[DanyPPC]

I think PoP is for Apple 2 GS

[slingshot]

I think PoP is for Apple 2 GS

It says it requires a C or E model with 128k RAM.
Just I don't know what makes a + model to C.

[DanyPPC]

I can not even use the joystick in games, so I can never play any games.

WOW! It would be really nice to play the game on the original system on which it was developed...

[Newsdee]

The Apple IIe was an extension of the 2+ that came with 128KB of RAM, 80 columns, and extemded character set (with international support with some country-specific ROMs).

I believe most games just need the extra memory which is already availavle in the core.
