Thanks!

Xevious now with ship explosion done

Oh http://darfpga.blogspot.com.es/ ok . Thanks for your great work!

Is Xevious able to be ported to the MiST? This would be another fine addition to the already expanding Arcade titles for the MiST.

[Gehstock]

Yes, but not currently working

[NML32]

That's good news and thanks for sharing the video.

[Darfpga]

Yes, but not currently working

As far as I remember protection circuit (50xx via 06xx) reset the game at that point. Must be implemented. Use my simplified replacement. mb88 50xx is currently under test.

[Gehstock]

Ahh ok, thank you. Its not your Version (taken from Pace Repo).

Ported your Version to DE1 Board but have a Problem.

DE1 with terrain map 2c

Code: Select all

Total logic elements	16,953 / 18,752 ( 90 % )
Total combinational functions	11,981 / 18,752 ( 64 % )
Dedicated logic registers	6,023 / 18,752 ( 32 % )
Total memory bits	272,896 / 239,616 ( 114 % )

DE1 Without terrain map 2c

Code: Select all

Total logic elements	9,410 / 18,752 ( 50 % )
Total combinational functions	8,729 / 18,752 ( 47 % )
Dedicated logic registers	2,368 / 18,752 ( 13 % )
Total memory bits	156,672 / 239,616 ( 65 % )

Mist same Code with terrain map 2c

Code: Select all

Total logic elements	9,300 / 24,624 ( 38 % )
Total combinational functions	8,640 / 24,624 ( 35 % )
Dedicated logic registers	2,371 / 24,624 ( 10 % )
Total memory bits	279,552 / 608,256 ( 46 % )

DE2 same Code with terrain map 2c

Code: Select all

Total logic elements               ; 9,424 / 33,216 ( 28 % )                         ;
Total combinational functions  ; 8,784 / 33,216 ( 26 % )                         ;
Dedicated logic registers      ; 2,405 / 33,216 ( 7 % )                          ;                                         ;
Total memory bits                  ; 279,552 / 483,840 ( 58 % )    

Is a 4k Rom, needs almost double Logic on DE1 but not on Mist or DE2

Sound meantime repaired

with terrain map 2c

Is a 4k Rom, but with it it needs almost double logic

When removing an element from design any element driving it is removed, and element part driven only by the removed element are also removed. So when removing Rom2c other roms may also disappear from design.

[Gehstock]

I know but on Mist/DE2 with all Roms 9300/9400 LE. With same Code

You should compare which rom/ram the compiler put in true memory cell (M4K, M9K ...) when there is no more room, compiler try to use logic blocks instead. Look in fitter/ressources section/ram summary. If one ram is not there compiler put it in logic blocks. Here you can also see that 4bits width ram/ rom have an actual 4 bits width although my vhdl prom are all 8bits width, compiler 'see' that some bit are always '0' so it can remove them from memory storage.

Putting ram/rom data in logic blocks consume far many logic blocks.

Best regards.

In your DE1 fit report file I can see that red, green, blue palette and sp_ram1 are not in memory cell. If you don't remove them by yourself in the design that mean that compiler put them into logic blocks.

Ok, Thanks for the explanation this was new for me

Yesterday I tested all your cores from https://github.com/gehstock/Mist_Cores/ ... ter/Arcade, Gehstock. Thanks very much for your work. Just a question. Some cores which have OSD, have a screen direction option... that's for rotating the video or for the controls?

Regards,

Salva

[lips2k15]

Guys non of these are visable on my oldschool crt setup can we please get scan doubler disabled options?

Only Galaga and Phoenix will have this Menu Item. It will change the Joystick and Keyboard Mapping

It rotates the direction controls 90°.
I was 2 minutes slower.

Ok, thaks very much! Today I'm going to test the new Pacman version you put here at the forum some days ago. I enjoy a lot these old arcades

Hello:

Do you know why https://github.com/gehstock/Mist_Cores/ ... ter/Arcade has disspeared? :S

[vebxenon]

Even the attachments have disspared from this thread

[vebxenon]

And even his Youtube channel is gone. What a sad day

[NML32]

I noticed this too.

[Newsdee]

what happened? what gets somebody to delete their github account?

[ericgus]

what happened? what gets somebody to delete their github account?

copyright infringement notices?

[vebxenon]

Few days ago I downloaded all his arcade cores, except the new update from Pac Man . I hope he will return or somebody will remake his work... He was also working in several console and computer cores.
