Commander X16

Just a quick question. I know fseek(...) isn't implemented, so does that mean fopen("file.dat", "ab") doesn't work either?

the last 2 can tell you if you're on the emulator or not

Thank you. I can work with this! /Russell

There is a bug in the hardware VERA in that the FX Line Helper in 4bpp mode doesn't correctly draw lines in octants where "sometimes horizontally increment" applies. Based on the discussion in the CX16 Video Discord https://discord.com/channels/547559626024157184/549247967945687071/1317257...

Thank you very much for testing. I was confused by how CC65 labels the joysticks vs how CX16 labels them. It was only when I read a similar thread in one of the forums here that I figured out that CC65 JOY_1 refers to the keyboard emulator. I'm waiting now for a fix to the VERA FX Line Helper in 4 b...

I previously requested users to test a demo in progress using actual hardware, and there were issues with rendering and the joystick. The rendering issue was traced to a problem in VERA, so that leaves the joystick. After some research, I think the issue was that I was using JOY_1 as the joystick to...

In my Google Drive is a program SAMPLE.PRG which draws lines at 4 bpp using VERA FX https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1unw3MgF0ji-n1Vk2guOfw-t5dZ-2rEtD?usp=sharing. Attached are outputs from an emulator r48 (the PNG), and actual hardware (the JPG). The emulator is correct, while it was confirme...

MooingLemur and others in the CX16 #general and #video discords confirmed that there is an issue in the way VERA handles certain kinds of lines at 4 bpp. Thanks everyone for your help here! I now have to work on the joystick issue... /Russell

Thank you for the advice. I have reached out there. /Russell

Based on the screen shot "the_seb" sent to me, I have a suspicion that differences in the VERA multiplier might be the cause of the messed up rendering. I've attached a version EXPLORE2.PRG which uses straight C multiplication. The EXPLORE.DAT file is the same. It can't be attached, but it...

"the_seb" confirmed his hardware is up-to-date w.r.t. versions, so it's likely a difference between the emulator and hardware. I will try to create some minimal code samples to demonstrate the problem. /Russell
