Hello Robert,
I am using the one I have been using for the std Dragon, so I have to asume it uses a 6809
Is there a different version that accepts a 6309 CPU?
I would appreciate if you could upload it here to test it!
thanks a lot

Re: MAME Emulation

Hello, I would like to debug a program that uses a lot of 6309 opcodes. If I start with -debug, I can load the program after F5 but in the moment I press EXEC to start the program I always get this answer ?6 ERROR Of course I have not done anything to tell MAME that the program is intended for a 630...

Re: How to use GDB-Xroar to debug 6309 code

Hi Ciaran, thanks for answering that fast! I was afraid that this could be the answer. I am so comfortable using both XRoar-GDB that I would have liked it for 6309 debugging too :-( It seems that I will need to use the MAME/MESS emulator if that one is able to understand 6309 coded programs ... chee...

CLOSED - How to use GDB-Xroar to debug 6309 code

Hello, I have been trying to debug a test program written with lots of 6309 opcodes and have found a lot of trouble - GDB doesn't decode 6309 opcodes, instead it treats them as FCB data, not very useful :-( - After LDMD $01 to enter native mode ($3D $01) MD register is not updated! - After LDW $1111...

Re: Games for 6309 equipped Dragons

Hello, I have converted the 6809 versions that L.Curtis Boyle sent gently to me, so that the users that haven't upgraded the CPU inside their Tano/Dragon will be able to play these five games. You will find a virtual file that contains (6309) in the filename to tell it is the 'special' version and a...

Re: Games for 6309 equipped Dragons

In the old ones I added a binary and maybe a bas to enter PMODE3 instead of artifacted PM4. Not always ...

Re: Games for 6309 equipped Dragons

Hello Robert, according to L.Curtis Boyle the movement and scrolling should be smoother and even a bit faster unless everything is interrupt driven. Anyway two of them do not exist in the archive or I have failed searching for them. So, I think that these should be added to the archive to expand the...
