Topic: How to run cartridge dumps in PRG format
Replies: 23

I've always wondered how much work it takes to rewrite a cartridge game to run elsewhere. All the absolute references should be fairly easy to fix, but more tricky code getting high and low bytes from a table etc may be a tricky thing to solve. Some day I'll get some 8K image, preferrably one that ...

no nothing to do with the raster just the IRQ being 60 times a second on both machines if it were the same speed then the jiffy clock would operate at the same speed too, right? Yes, the jiffyclock is run by the interrupt. I'm not 100% sure the default IRQ speed is 60Hz on both PAL and NTSC though....

:) Really nice tip there! I never saw any real use for the DOS copy stuff on single drives, but here it is perfect. Should be alot faster aswell, and it will not block the computer while doing it!

Don't use T-Röd (or any denaturated ethanol) it will leave a small white residue (from the denaturation) when dried up. Even if you wipe it off with a clean cotton top right afterwards? That's what I do... /Anders That probably gets rid of most of the residue but isoprophanol works better, is reson...

I don't know if pure ethanol will have other attributes than the 2-propanol when it comes to cleaning magnetic heads, but Kemetyl T-Röd consists of 95% denaturated ethanol and thus is prevented from consumption. Don't use T-Röd (or any denaturated ethanol) it will leave a small white residue (from ...

Hey, I just saw this thread... As always, it's nice that people make software, especially music software! I'm looking forward to trying it out. If speed is not a major problem, just use... lda #msb ldx #lsb jsr $ddcd ... which will print the number in decimal using basic. (in 7 bytes flat. 8) ) Like...
