Re: Trying to get X16PngConverter to work on Linux and macOS

I am kinda wondering why it's 21 MEGS long, though. What's in this thing?

Re: Trying to get X16PngConverter to work on Linux and macOS

Tried it with Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon. It seems like it works. It's a terminal program (I like that) it has an easy to use interface in that commands build up, so it's easy to start a command, check the .png for ligitness, then add commands. I like that. So I gave it a png file of a font that is 2 ...

Re: Assembly Prompt

So basically, this is a tool for learning the mnemonics of assembly? Ok! Cool! 65C02 is hard enough... then you have 65C816 with it's greatly expanded addressing modes and bank registers. Another addition would be a "reset" command that could also take an instruction mnemonic (Like LDA) or...

Re: Warlock's Dungeon (Alpha V1) - A Gauntlet-like for the CX16

I had found the pause key after reading the intro more carefully. I was also thrown by "Press A button" as "A" is an actual button on the controller. I realize that sounds stupid, but remember I have never seen this game before, I have no idea what keys are used. You can get thro...

Re: Warlock's Dungeon (Alpha V1) - A Gauntlet-like for the CX16

Is there a "pause" key? Considering that a controller is not shipped with the machine, and people with the emulator probably don't have one, the default keys (Few as they are in this case.) should be on the pause screen. I'm not targeting that at THIS game... just that it should be on any ...

Re: Weird AI

I rather expect that the inferred "confidence" of an AI is from the viewer, not the AI. The AI is just reading a script written for it by a collection of info processing algos. It certainly has no more idea what it's talking about than a radio when it converts to sound what is transmitted ...

Re: x16emu ported to Haiku

Wait, "Be" was started by former Apple people? Ok, that explains why it was trying to start a new OS with the "Power PC" hardware. And why I never heard of it. I bought a Power PC when they first came out in the early 90's. I had huge buyer's remorse over it. It was, in my opinio...

Re: x16emu ported to Haiku

Huh. Ok. I had never heard of "Haiku" outside of the obvious reference to a Japanese poetry style. So of course I assumed it's a Linux distro. But no, it's based on something called "BeOS" which I have also never heard of, but was apparently started be a company called "Be&q...

Re: Setting day of week in the RTC can both disable the battery and set the wrong day

It's in the KERNAL section, under "Clock" It's detailing the fields for the "clock_set_data_time" call. It's the last line in the block. The other data look correct, things like day and month properly start at 1, but day of week starts at 0.
