Re: DreamTracker Dev Log

Yup! I didn't do it in the above vid but I also tested MIDI clock in at the same time too. The stuff MooingLemur and I did today is even cooler! Hope to share that update fairly soon.

Re: DreamTracker Dev Log

Behold! Here's that demo I mentioned showing all 4 sound options running at the same time: https://youtu.be/jJfnCdBbMi0 Technically I'm not using MIDI out at the same time but most folks that wanna make music for the X16 with samples will probably want to use the wavetable option, which the above sh...

Re: DreamTracker Dev Log

As in the MIDI 2.0 specification? It's not currently planned at the moment. That isn't to say it wouldn't be if there was a benefit, but since 1.0 is a subset of 2.0, much of the planned implementation would be the same.

Re: DreamTracker Dev Log

Now that those cartridge cards and parts are ordered (that was all stuff on #cartridges on the Discord - that'll be a few weeks as I picked the slow boat option), turning my attention back to DT and MIDI. I decided to just go face first into the multi-chan option for the PSG chans. They can be flipp...

Re: PC/MS DOS emulator?

I suspect DOS would be a heavy lift. I wouldn't say impossible because I don't like to "no, but" vs "yes, and" though there's a lot that would need to be written and handled. Virtual memory for instance doesn't exist here, as the X16 is meant to be a baremetal computer. DOS is cl...

Re: The possibility of moving to a 65816 instead of a 6502

Since R47 the ROM detects and supports 65C816. What is the memory map of the system in the 16-bit native mode? Largely the same. You can repoint the DP though as I recall that doesn't work with kernal interrupts. That might be a question to ask on the Discord in the #cpu-65816 chan. That may have c...

Re: ROMTerm V1.26 (Terminal Program)

Quick update, I got hardware flow control working. Required trying a few cable solutions out. It fixed the irssi rendering bugs (not sure how/why) but I can use ircssi mostly error-free now!

Re: DreamTracker Dev Log

:D Yeah a little intense :P Fast enough where FM writes start getting missed at some point but I'm not sure exactly when that happens. The goal was to cover the most common BPM range, up to 250 or so. It seems to do so reliably so I'm quite happy there. But many things let you go faster (in this cas...

Re: DreamTracker Dev Log

Silly video showing the improved MIDI Clock Sync handling in Dreamtracker. It's now using IRQ timing for both the engine and row advance. This means at least the PSG parts of the engine run at MIDI clock rate and remain in sync with the song. Also fixed some pattern corruption bugs caused by unsafe ...
