Hi Stew, I have added these lines as a new cart in the XRoar config and when I tried it it hangs because it seems to call $C002. The only way to start it right is calling $C000 instead. The first 4 bytes of the program modify the stack: $10 $CE $00 $FA --> LDS $00FA So, skiping two bytes crashes the...

pleased to know you have got it working too ... The way it is programmed seems a bit complicated, but probably we could find hundreds of tunes already made by people in the CoCo arena. Next step is making it work with a DOS cartridge connected (in XRoar) so that we could save our great compositions,...

I didn't look at the two first bytes on the cartridge image. This one has no 'mark' to ask for auto-starting. Basic looks at this 2 bytes and if there is a "DK" then calls &HC002 ant there you go. In this case the program begins right in the first byte, so &HC000 must be called instead. Hope you enj...

Hi,
got it working!

you must enter
EXEC&HC000 instead
The be sure that XRoar is emulating the CoCo Keyboard (or you will be fooled)
Select: Hardware / Keyboard Map / CoCo layout
Then press S, enter and wait for a while
Finally press P and enter to listen to the WillTell overture

Hi Tony, I couldn't resist and tried on XRoar with this bat file --------------------------------------------------------------------- cd.. copy ..\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom1.rom d64_1.rom copy ..\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom2.rom d64_2.rom xroar -machine dragon64 -extbas d64_1.rom -altbas d64_2.rom -machine-cart orch...

I thought I had to share an idea I had a few minutes ago. If anyone wants to give it a listen ... I loaded the BIN file into XRoar in a Dragon64 emulation and then entered POKE&hFFD9,0: EXEC&hF00: POKE&hFFD8,0 and Enter The result is that you lose the video, but there was nothing to look at and the ...

Hello, I don't know what did I do wrong the first time ... I have loaded TEST.BIN and then EXEC &HF00 and works flawlessly. The same applies to the VDK uploaded by sorchard, works with no problems. This is the procedure I use to put any binary file onto a VDK file: - Copy the .BIN file to a PC folde...

Just a question about this ...
Should the BIN file do anything when loaded into a Dragon 64 without DOS emulation in XRoar?
It loads but does nothing at all (?)
I must be doing something the wrong way, but I can't spot what.
Any advice?

thanks beforehand

Hi, I am sorry to say that I am too lazy/busy to get my set of eraser and burner and put them to work. I have never used them and they are on the shelves since more than one year! In fact I have never needed them, because owning a Dragon64 is enough to test any cartridge simply switching to MAP1 and...
