I have added the SpeedKey routine to this game.

What was that Poke you added in line 1? It resets the Dragon's row state byte ($151) which temporarily forces a complete keyboard scan. Its not always very effective (depending on the game code) unless you put it in several lines. The best option for BASIC programs is to use a subroutine based on S...

Thanks for porting these games to the Dragon, Jim.

Try the attached copy. I have made a quick modification to help improve the keyboard response.

Merry Christmas!

The code in question is also never called in Steve's Enhanced 32 mode ROM; unless you use the RKEYS command to enable the keyboard auto-repeat. So, as far as this code is concerned, its exactly the same scenario for both standard and enhanced ROMs.

I attach the five submenus that appear with win32 version 0.31

Thanks for the information. It seems like the GTK+ version is of very little use to me. I have a lot of different configurations that I want to use.

back again, you are right, if we use the Stephen Woolham enhanced basic rom1, then there is a call to $BF20 at $9FFC, but this code doesn't exist on an original Dragon64, in fact there are only zero values. So it seems that these bytes are re-used to implement new functionality (I assume) The reaso...

I find it very strange that there doesn't seem to be any information about this routine anywhere on the internet. There is no information about the routine in the Dragon 64 Supplement or the book "Inside The Dragon" (Duncan Smeed and Ian Sommerville).

Is the GTK+ version as good as using batch files? Can you select between 100's of different configurations using custom ROMs and hardware settings?
