Commander X16

Here's my implementation from my Another World port: .macro mulx_addr addra, addrb .scope ; Save original cache values lda FX_CACHE_L pha lda FX_CACHE_M pha lda FX_CACHE_H pha lda FX_CACHE_U pha ; DCSEL = 2 for FX control registers lda #(2 << 1) sta VERA::CTRL ; Clear FX control and enable multipli...

Hi All, I have being having trouble using the multiplier in VERA FX. I have tried to follow the examples in the manual, tutorial and forum but I have had much luck. My understanding was that you could load some values into the cache and multiply them and they should appear in the cache? Is that wron...

The DOS and Tandy versions of AGI games are the same files (that's the whole point of an interpreter lol) except for very early versions of Kings Quest. For the DOS interpreter it just plays the first voice in the sound file. I got 3 voice sound working on the PSG. I wrote a player for AGI sounds. ...

So it would be nice to see that it is something an 8-bit system could pull off (via delegating to a support chip)....

Thanks for the update, and the screen shots - the fairy, troll, and the well!!! Good memories. Still, I want to HEAR this game, someday ^.^ (oh, we can dual X16 it, use serial card to cue another X16 to play the audio with a few command bytes :P ) Hi Xiphod, Glad I could take you back to good old d...

CommanderX16 February 2025 AGI Update I have an update regarding my CX16 AGI Interpreter. shortExport.gif Over the past few months, I have completed three major tasks: -Implementation of double buffering: The 3D effect mentioned in my previous post requires redrawing of sprites. To prevent this redr...

The engine is looking close to finished! Well done on the job! Are the views sprites or drawn to the bitmap layer? In my version I was using sprites which presents it's own challenges but I always assumed they'd be faster than a heap of pixel gets/sets. I had sound working in my unfinished implemen...
