Spectrum Isometric Port

Post by mrr19121970 »

I was reading in retrogamer that a guy called marius has ported a zu spectrum game to the 6502 atari. He used the original source and effective build conversion and testing automation tools.

Does anyone know him ?

Can the Atari 6502 be easily ported to VIC20? Apparently this game has already been ported to the C64

Well, my work-Vic-20 runs with an Atari 400 CPU (6502C) and its only going a little slower (1.1MHz vs Atari's 1.79MHz).

Still, you'll have a hard time squeezing the 384 pixels per line into 176 pixels..

On the other hand you'd use less cpu time drawing graphics. Probably would involve quite an overhaul for both graphics and display code however.
