I need to contact him regarding a few things: 1. The errors in the screenshots he has generated from XROAR. A number of games feature screenshots that use black, white, orange and blue which for Dragon 32 or Dragon 64 is technically impossible for them to produce as they output video in PAL format....

Thanks!

Does anyone here use SideKick?

Thanks guys; I hadn't noticed the post count!

The cloud9 RTC is based on the DS1315-5 chip. You can find its datasheet online. I haven't seen any Dos code for it, but you could use the NitrOS9 clock2 driver as a reference. See the source code here: http://nitros9.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/nitros9/nitros9/file/8babf9987e22/level1/modules/clock2_...

According to the SuperIDE User Manual there are three registers used by the real time clock ($FF78-$FF79 and $FF7C). Peeking these from BASIC always returns the same value. How do you get/set the time and date using these three registers from a BASIC or machine code program?

How do you access the SuperIDE's Real Time Clock feature? Please post a working machine code or BASIC example.

The ROMs are here.

Load the games from the .DSK file and save each one to .CAS in ASCII format under Xroar - CoCo 2 emulation. Cload and Csave under Xroar - Dragon 32 emulation (I always use Steve Woolham's enhanced D32 ROMs v3.0 for this).

You're Welcome! Please change the default setting for the emulated 6847T1 VDG to off for the next release.
