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

Hi! Not sure there as I didn't use those libraries. Just to keep in mind if you are trying that, the emulators don't have complete filesystem support. CUzebox is able to catch writes to a file as long as it isn't resized, but nothing more. Uzem is read only as far as I see. So you will need to use r...

Re: IKD - Atari Combat remake

Something occurred to me which could explain the wildly varying outcomes. Might we have some uninitialized memory somewhere? (any variable, data structure etc) Possibly something which might result in some part of an algorithm used here going through a loop unexpected amount of times? (There shouldn...

Re: IKD - Atari Combat remake

I tried to take a look at this and found something really weird. In the IKD.uze downloadable from the opening post as of now, at https://github.com/Uzebox/uzebox/blob/master/kernel/uzeboxVideoEngineCore.s#L387 , there is a "cpi ZL, 251" instruction, where the only larger difference begins ...

Re: Outpost in the Dragon's Maw

Gave the game a small update (over weeks, eh, not making progress too fast here), now it has a title screen and some end-game sounds. And very few ROM bytes left. Will still give this some polish before I would say release ready (once there will of course set up its Wiki, and also post it to a few p...

Re: IKD - Atari Combat remake

The flickering seen in Uzem I believe emerges from this line: https://github.com/danboid/IKD/blob/main/IKD.c#L632 I see that the title screen is redrawn in every frame here https://github.com/danboid/IKD/blob/main/IKD.c#L174 (Indentation is a bit jumbled up around there, but it is clear enough that ...

Re: IKD - Atari Combat remake

Yes, there is something clearly going on here. Now it seems like it behaves differently on real HW (a channel apparently missing), Uzem (flickering) and CUzebox (audio and video seemingly as it would be intended). The CUzebox emulator tracks the video refresh rate with audio frequency to keep both i...

Re: Project Palagonite

Trying to do C++ on the Uzebox has just the same caveats like trying to do C++ on other similarly constrained embedded environments. There are a fair few around (including 32 bits) where inattentive use of C++ would cause issues like quickly running out of ROM or RAM, or possibly not being able to j...

Re: IKD - Atari Combat remake

Some ideas for debugging: Probably the simplest if suspecting some ALU or timing issue, assuming this is mostly C code, is to tweak compiler settings, to see whether it changed anything. Some compiler settings for example could be more prone to produce some instruction combination which the emulator...

Re: Project Palagonite

There is some idea of a game there screenshot.png Looking at it, as it was left off it could be worked on further in the sense it isn't as big as it seems by the result. The build places the tileset in it four times (which includes a full Mode 3 ASCII font, that alone repeated four times uses up 24 ...

Re: IKD - Atari Combat remake

Did some experimenting. Below 500Hz the real hardware feels quite strongly cutting off compared to the emulator (which just passes the signal to the PC's audio system), the ~50Hz-100Hz range on the real hardware (EUzebox) feels fairly low on the real thing compared to how loud it gets above 500Hz.
