All, Speaking of emulators on underpowered hardware ... I'm working from time to time on an Intellivision emulator for the Atari ST. This project is however...
... For the EXEC, you could always have a predecoded image of what EXEC loads into RAM, since it's fixed. In general, if you wanted to support self-modifying...
... Yes, that's more or less what I'm planning to do. ... Agreed. But that would have a slight CPU cost, anyway. So, I'm not sure it's worth doing that. As far...
... I'm sure you knew you were going to hear from me, Arnold. :-) Of Course, I think you can definitely do it. If I can get an emulator to function at full...
... Sure! As a side note, "Arnauld" is pronounced "Arno" in French, not "Arnold". Not that I really care about the way you write it or pronounce it, anyway....
All, Assuming that opcodes are pre-decoded before execution, it's possible to create some specialized routines. I think I'm going to try that. Some existing...
... I had this same idea, and after some testing, found that it was not a worthwhile optimization. Basically, specific combinations do not occur frequently...
... Ok. That makes sense. ... Yes, that's also what I'm doing. However, I could go a step further and precompute immediate values on 16 bits (see below) rather...
Is there a document out there that explains the EXEC calls? I looked in the DeReIntellivision but it is minimal. I could not find anything in the SDK docs. ...
... There are two things you need: -- Your Friend the EXEC. This document describes the programming model for the EXEC. -- A list of entry points. YFTE...
All, Something I've been meaning to post for awhile... Below is a disassembly of the Intellivoice's ROM. This might be useful to anyone wanting to emulate the...
David... I agree that the EXEC documentation is very minimal. The best source of information I have come across is a document which contains the disassembled...
... The package can be found in the 'Files' section of this list. Just look for 'dsm1600.zip' here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/intvprog/files/ -- Arnauld...
We are releasing our first official single "The Future" on June 21. The CD features a new version of the song plus 3 new tracks, including "Bomb Squad"...
I've been playing quite a bit with my linux boxen lately and would like to attempt to put jzintv on one of them. There have been quite a few changes since...
Rick, I'll post my work-in-progress source code later today. It's sitting on my laptop. jzIntv 010a is freakin' joke, and a pretty poor one at that. I've...
Joe, BTW: do you want me to build a more proper install for the jzIntv GUI front-end so that you can put it on Spatula? There are 2 little problems, though: -...
Arnuald, your front-end is excellent as it is. A simple documentation would do for 99% of the people. If they can not handle the easy setup, they probably can...
... - When you run jzIntv a first time and then go back to the GUI, sometimes the window will not refresh properly when you check or uncheck something....
All, I've posted the latest work-in-progress jzIntv sources here: http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/jzintv-20040617.zip The ZIP file includes Windows...
Durh. I forgot "dl" in the path. http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/dl/jzintv-20040617.zip ... -- ... Joseph Zbiciak http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/...
Joe, I've hit my first snag building on Linux. I've got SDL installed and the build seems to go well for a while, but it finally dies in some of the...
Rick, Could you send me the bincfg_lex.c that Flex output? I can fix bc_lineno just by renaming it. (Apparently the newer flex does line counting for you.) I...
All, Rick and I got the build issues sorted out. If you're trying to build under Linux, redownload the same ZIP file. It has the updates. If you're running...
Joe (and anyone building jzintv on linux), There seems to be an issue with Demon Attack. It runs for a bit (with just a blank screen) and then dies as...
Hi there! Just thought to say hello. I subscribed here in order to learn all things about programming the Intellivision console, hoping to be able to create a...
