Maybe someone here can help... I'm in the process of learning 6502 assembly. Will writing a game on my c64 be difficult to transfer to my 2600? I'd rather not...
... While the 2600 does run 6502 code, the memory restrictions and graphics limitations would force a lot of rewriting. However, porting code from a 2600 game...
... This probably isn't the best place to start... But see the Programming forum on http://www.atariage.com and http://stella.biglist.com (subscribing can be ...
I recently purchased a Magic Desk I catrige to build a Cynthcart. I was looking on the site for some info on the binary file so I could program an EPROM. I ...
Thanks for the input guys. I'm just jumping into this before I really know anything about anything. I don't want to use emulators because it means upgrades to...
... Really? What are you running? I have an iMac, and Stella runs fine, though I can't run most "new" ROMs due to the whole "profile" thing (and that's...
... I agree. man, you can probably get a PC that'll run the emulators fine for about $100. A fast, decked out PII or midrange PIII should be fine. And a lot...
So I used a HEX Editor to remove the first two bytes, I didnt think it was going to be that simple. Burned the binary file to a 2764 removed all of the 2364 ...
... cool, sorry I forgot about sending the file. Glad you figured it out. The first two bytes just tell the C64 where to load the disk file, whereas the...
btw: boards are ordered, I'm finalizing the first release ROM and putting together a manual. Making the settings a little less Tree-Wave-centric and adding a...
No problem with forgetting about the file, I would have sent a reminder had I ran into any problems. I didnt think the other chips needed to be removed, I ...
Hey Paul, What do you know about the boards that were ordered? Does it use a BinHex converter? I have an Alphaworks board that has a slot for an eprom but...
... Hmmm, I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I don't use hex format files for C64 stuff. ... Yeah, I've been using an Alphaworks board for our live shows...
Allright. I'm going to go for emulators and what not. The DASM I thought I had for my c64 is nowhere to be found. I'm running OS 8.6 on my Imac. I haven't been...
Well for example while original atari carts have just the rom, while the Atari age atari carts have a bin hex inverter, And I was just making sure that it...
... Oh right, I was totally confused. Better to just say "an inverter". No the Atari 2600 is unique in that it has an inverted chip enable line. I'm not...
Im trying to find a way to test the sid chip in my C64. The chip I have is a 6581. I get no audio out of either of the RF or A/V outputs. Thanks, Jesse...
Hi, Have you tested to see if power is getting to the chip?? its a good place to start before you spend a lot of time on it... Ktronik ... From: Jesse Smith ...
... I would say if you're getting no audio, it's probably a bad SID. Easiest way to test it is probably to swap it out, but I think they're usually soldered...
I think mine actually has a socket but I will look at it a little closer. Looks like Ill be ordering a chip this payday. Does anyone know of a good place to...
... It'll probably be cheapest to buy another C64 on ebay (and then you'll have more spare parts). Or just try to find one at a thrift/garage sale. -paul...
