Re: Change my mind: plug-and-plays > kits, to attract gamedevs AND end-users

It would be nice indeed, but I feel many of us might just not be in any position to be able to run such. If I had a stable home, I would probably look into trying to set up some reasonable manufacturing as I even have other hardware ideas. But I am just not in that situation. Accessible emulator I f...

Re: Zelda 2 on Uzebox

This is certainly one of the technologically very advanced games for the Uzebox to put all that content in the ROM, however unfortunately it appeared to be lost even by the time I first found out about this console in 2015. The .uze file which remains doesn't do any justice to it.

Re: Uzebox Bootloader V5

Nice! Might start to work on that V6 Bootloader idea, I didn't begin any of it yet. Quite badly drained by work, so nothing too hasty would likely happen - but it is an interesting problem how to get a nice, well customizable bootloader.

Re: Outpost in the Dragon's Maw

Similar script could be written, yes. One of my main plans still with this game is to do some further work on its scripts, likely adding a Python packrom so it could be built completely without the need to compile the Uzebox repo (to get a native packrom out of it). Unfortunately what needed tools a...

Re: Megatris expansion, plus achievement and leaderboard support

Hi Clymax, nice to see some tinkering going on! Was surprised to find that site and that it even covers Uzebox games!

Re: Uzebox in the UK North West Computer Museum

Nice! :) ... Correction: Those of us not lucky enough to own a fast enough old SDSC card! :P (Cause I have some, but neither works :D )

Re: Uzebox Bootloader V5

You aren't supposed to plug / unplug controllers while the system is powered, they aren't mechanically designed for that. USB and SD Cards are designed with hot-plugging in mind with having the power and ground pins making contact first (those contacts are longer, so making connection first / breaki...

Re: Outpost in the Dragon's Maw

Game is now reasonably complete... Uh... I mean I really haven't got any ROM left... Anyway, Version 1.0 is up, Wiki created!

Re: mmc_lib vs Bootloader V5 vs PFF vs FatFS vs sdBase(sdSimple)

A bit baffling to me as it looks like it reports a CRC error, which at that stage it shouldn't do. You might be able to hack yourself around this problem by recompiling the emulator with Line 442 in cu_spisd.c uncommented (it is an "sd_state.r1 |= R1_CRC;"), no idea why you get it with tha...

Re: Flight of a Dragon

Thank you! The reset on frame is an interesting one indeed - it does two things. One is more RAM by eliminating the need for retaining the stack while the video frame is ran. The other is consistent timing, which of course took some careful design. The display generation is purposely made so that it...
