Hi Ciaran,
thanks for the idea I will try it out along the weekend.
What Windows version are the 'fortunate' users using? mine is Windows7.
The last XRoar version that works fine with GDB (for me) is:
XRoar v0.33.2-2015-33312 w64

Hello Ciaran,
I saw that new snapshot and downloaded it. More machines? can't wait to see them ...
After some tries with GDB on a Windows 7 environment emulating a D64, it keeps hanging
as soon as the GDB intercepts the breakpoint
Is there anything new to avoid this behaviour?

cheers

that's a great idea!

Hi Phill,
I wouldn't bother about size if it fits inside a DragonDOS cartridge.
That's a very good size. Costless to have a good case for it despite it would need some
mechanical work.
Can't wait to see the first production units ...
Put me down for one, please!

cheers

Hi Bosco,
I hadn't had time to test your new project.
Looks great! nice tune too!
Can't wait to see next versions.

Hi, not that easy, because there are some letters whith more than one 'good game'. I add to my list one beginning with a number: 3 - 3D-Space Wars A - Astroblast B - Beam Rider C - Chuckie Egg D - Dark Pit, the E - Eddie steady go! F - Flagon Bird (not an old game) G - Galax Attax H - Horace goes sk...

hehe, many users will be happy to get a new and faster CPU with the cartridge, for sure! and even more if it were an Hitachi HD63C09. I don't know if the CPU could be damaged because of too much time working with this poke, I think that most users do know if their machine supports well that speed PO...

Hi James, Unfortunately, there are some Dragons that don't like to roar at double speed. It would be a nice idea to let the user choose the game speed ... In fact some old Basic programs asked the user if the machine supported that double speed. You can read a lot on this subject in this thread: htt...

you are right,James. It is a pity that these machines weren't made to use the 2Mz capability ROM, RAM and CPU could cope with it, but most probably VDG and SAM wouldn't, but I am not sure about that point ... About banking, I am pretty sure you can do it the way you prefer ... using a switcher in RA...

Hi James, I have made this test with two different cartridges. The first one was ASTROBLAST, this started alright with POKE&HFFD6,0 (normal speed) but strangely it hanged after POKE&HFFD7,0 (double speed) Then I used STARSHIP CHAMELEON and this one worked flawlessly at both speeds, in fact it is rea...
