Re: Premier's Sprite Graphics Board

Here we go... 0008.png 0009.png Took a little more effort than expected as the current implementation of the cartridge interface is read only for the CTS region $C000-$FFEF. So also needed to make this more flexible to allow writing to the TMS9929A at $E000-$E001. Colour bar pattern from manual: 001...

Re: MAME Emulation

I've created a pull request to add my changes to MAME's source code: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/4980 :ugeek: I see it's been merged 8-) I can now confim, the Joystick code in MAME is definitely bugged. Caverns of Chaos with only the LEFT controller connected. keyboard must in emulated mod...

Re: Premier's Sprite Graphics Board

I've just uploaded the manual and example programmes to the Upload section. Thanks for those. It's interesting to see it was originally developed for use with the UK101/SB, so have posted a link to it in their forum http://osiweb.org/osiforum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=482. Hope your ROM is the Dragon ver...

Re: MAME Emulation

No, Configuration options cannot be selected from command-line. can i please request it?. ;) Of course, but unlikely to happen. This is handled in the MAME core, not driver specific, so would need considerable effort. i would also like option to disconnect LEFT or RIGHT Joystick from the command li...

Re: MAME Emulation

I posted a report on MameTesters about the NTSC artifacting on PAL Dragon machines, and got curious about it so I think I'm near having the PAL artifacting working. From those screenshots I have no idea which is which, which is why I didn't want to get involved with the 6847. When you're done make ...

Re: MAME Emulation

I have put all the files I have (and use with Xroar) in Mame/roms but no one appears as "available". So I always start empty and there is no problem to load and run these files. I don't know if it is the correct way ? For machines to be shown as Available you must have an individual zip containing ...

Re: MAME Emulation

I'd like to tell that there's something off with the DAC sound emulation on MAME (tested on 0.202). I made the following program to play 3000hz wav files on the Dragon, and it works on the real machine and on XRoar, but not on MAME, it remains silent. I have no idea about this unfortunately. If you...
