ROTATING IMAGES PMODE3

Hello, I am sure that most of us do know the incredible "rotozoom" created by Simon Jonassen for different computers. When I saw it, I contacted him and he kindly showed me how it worked, great master! I wanted to rotate an actual Pmode3 image, so he pointed me to a web where one can find all of the...

Re: The Hobbit ported to the Dragon64k - DOS - ENDED!

Hi Pere! Well, better late than never, I thought I must have a go at this wonderful conversion! But alas, I seem to be falling at the first hurdle. I do the following: SDRIVE 1,"HOBBIT.VDK" BANK 0,R (because my Dosplus is in bank 0) RUN "H1.BIN" I get the splash screens, but it just seems to sit at...

Hi Roberto Carlos,
great job!
thanks for sharing both files.
And you're right, that one is damn difficult, it looks like Jet Set Willy (to me), at least the first stage ...

Re: Japanese Arcade Joystick Adapter

I think it should not damage anything.
The +5V comes to the joysticks through a 100 ohm resistor
This means that max 5V/0.1k = 50mA would be drained
And power comsumption would be 100*0,05^2 = 0.25 so a simple 1/4W resistor should do
and this is the kind of resistor mounted in a D32-D64

cheers

Radio Shack Network 2

Hello, I know this item is CoCo related, but it can be used with some Dragons, as we can use the Multi-Pack and other CoCo devices too. The problem is that I have found info about Network1 and Network 3, but much to my surprise I have found nothing at all about network 2 I will appreciate if anyone ...

Re: Scrolling Graphics Questions

I think you can get most of the 7% improvement without having a huge program, if you copied for example 128 or 256 bytes per loop. Hi Stew, I have tested with 4x32 = 128 and the speed gain is not visible on screen. The 'con' of this method is that as I need to scroll the whole screen except for a l...

Re: Scrolling Graphics Questions

Hi Stew,
thanks a bunch!
That's a lot of info to process 8-)

I assume the code could be a 'special' routine you uploaded many time ago
that copied any number of bytes from a pointer to another ...
