Next step was to apply this technique to PMODE3 to verify the results. The next two images show XRoar screens and a real Dragon using palette 0. You can see the two new combinations on the photo (red-blue combos at the lower right of the screen). 04A-PMode3-CSS0-XRoar-small.jpg 04B-PMode3-CSS0-Photo...

The answer is PAL behaviour. NTSC creates artifacted colours ‘horizontally’ when a black pixel is next to a white one, creating a light blue or light red if we reverse black and white positions. Instead, PAL creates ‘artifacts’ vertically due to a correction scheme that is automatically applied. Tec...

AFTER THE COLOURS RUSH This work is a collaboration between Simon Jonassen and Pere Serrat (me). This began in the moment I first contacted Simon to ask some questions related to his ‘half-char’ shift demo. This genius is also known as the mad guy from the c64 scene that likes to stretch the limits ...

Hi, another great project with Tormod's signature, it is impressive! This seems to open up a new world of possibilities for our Dragons even the small Dragon32 can be revamped with that expansion and FUZIX. I will keep an eye on this thread to see how the project advances. @Tormod please, put me dow...

Hi Marcelo, pleased to know. If you have a CoCo and have used it with the CoCo-SDC you will have to download the document with the command names for the Dragon. I changed them by addidng a leading 'S' for (DIR and DRIVE that became SDIR and SDRIVE) But besides the name, there are some syntax differe...

Hi, if you mean the last CoCo-SDC firmware version 1.16 from Darren Atkinson, I tested it before it has been distributed by Ed Snider just to be sure that it really worked with VDK files with a header 256 bytes long, as are all our VDKs for DriveWire. It works perfect, so we don't need to convert th...

Hello friends, great news ... Darren Atkinson has been kind enough to send us an update for the firmware of the CoCo-SDC that allows working with VDK images with any header length till 256 bytes. I have tested the ones with 256 bytes that we use with Drivewire 4 and once stored in the SD card and in...

Hi Phill, I think that some time ago someone added "PG Scott patches" to all Dragon Data DOS versions, so the standard DDOS11, DDOS12 became DDOS11C and DDOS12A Later, the DIR command was modified so that its output was much better despite this meant to break the 8k frontier, so if anyone wanted to ...

Hi Phill, very cool project indeed. Please, put me down for one production unit. I am interested in it, so I would gladly help by testing or whatever I could do ... Fortunately I am retired so I can manage a bit better my time ;-) Just one question ... Most of the tapes were easily dumped to disk an...

Hi,
welcome to the forum!
Hope you will find here a 'second' family
It seems that our first computer was our 'programmimg' school and certainly a lot of people
ended working in what had begun as a hobby. That is true for me too!

cheers
