Hello Yoruk, drivewire is a server (on PC/Mac) sector oriented, not oriented to FILES. This means that you need a special DOS version to use files from inside any VDK that resides on the PC side. Probably OS-9 or NitrOs-9 will work because they ask for sectors to the server you'd just need to ensure...

Hi, thanks for answering! The player is IRQ driven so that the computer can (and *must*) do other things at the same time. So, the player cannot get 100% of CPU at any time or the program will freeze to the user sight. That's why I asked if there is anyway to modify the D64 video circuitry to make i...

Hello, Robert is absolutely right! All files need to be multiple of 256 in order to be read by the drivewire server. We had this problem in the past and I uploaded a small Java tool that changed the header of any VDK to make it be 256 bytes long, so that the file becomes DW compatible. You could dow...

Hi, I am using the two-voices player by Simon Jonassen. It is IRQ driven and it works nicely on a Dragon 32, but performs really awfully on a Dragon64. It seems to be related to the number of IRQs that each machine sends per frame. Apparently Dragon 32, adds 50 lines to the std NTSC (262 lines), so ...

Hi Steve,
great job!
I know I am not a good gamer, so I lasted not too much time after quite some tries.
Will have to try it on the D64 with joystick.
cheers

Dragon world had not yet become that high priced as it is nowadays

Thanks a lot Ciaran,
Sometimes I use to compile for 6309 but ... I had not yet used those opcodes
Only for test purposes (verifying a disassembler) and it seems that I used positive values ...

Have a nice weekend

Hi, thanks again Ciaran! I have 4 sprites (steps) to move a character to the left and 4 to move it to the right. Then I use 2 extra to move up and down in both directions, so that character is using 4+4+2+2 = 12 sprites 32x56 and 4 of them affect five horizontal bytes instead of only 4 bytes (32pixe...
