Re: 44 on-screen colours from a CoCo 1/2 or Dragon 32/64
Hmmm...well, xroar seems to execute the unchanged 44-color (and 8-color) code more-or-less correctly, even with PAL configurations. I had expected that the extra horizontal sync pulses inserted to turn the NTSC-compatible output of the 6847 into a PAL-compatible signal would be visible through the P...

Re: 44 on-screen colours from a CoCo 1/2 or Dragon 32/64
I didn't immediately find suitable Dragon ROM images -- pointers welcome! I did run xroar with NTSC CoCo emulation, and the published binaries do more-or-less work there. There seems to be some "glitches" every few seconds, but the overall effect it visible. Maybe Ciaran will take an interest in fix...

Re: 44 on-screen colours from a CoCo 1/2 or Dragon 32/64
OK, I got a chance to work with things a bit more today. I now have some images available for download. http://www.tuxdriver.com/download/vdgtricks/ The bad news, of course, is two-fold: the diskette image is for the CoCo; and the binaries are for NTSC video. I don't think any of my usual tools unde...

Re: .CAS to .WAV conversion
You might also consider the cecb tool from the Toolshed package.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/toolshed/
Those tools are oriented towards the CoCo, but the cassette images I've produced with it also load on my Tano Dragon.

Re: 44 on-screen colours from a CoCo 1/2 or Dragon 32/64
I poked at it a bit the other night, but I was having some trouble figuring-out where/how to load the code without BASIC clobbering it or whatnot. My development environment uses a monitor program over a serial port, so I can avoid this kind of stuff for simple experimentation. I'm sure I can figure...

Re: 44 on-screen colours from a CoCo 1/2 or Dragon 32/64
The code is a bit hack-n-slash, as I did that project in a little more than a week. I'm planning to use the code as the basis for another project, in preparation for CoCoFEST! When I get there, I'll try to take some time to see if I can generate a CLOADM'able file that runs on the Dragon...

Re: Fahrfall for the CoCo 1/2 and Dragon 32/64
Heh...sure, np! There is plenty of capability in these machines. The CoCo3 does have it's advantages, but lots of things can be done on the CoCo and Dragon.

Re: Fahrfall for the CoCo 1/2 and Dragon 32/64
Do I need to figure-out how to generate a DragonDOS binary?
