Games / Re: Pinball Magic 2024 (WIP)

Last post by DataPro - Today at 15:54

2.15.0.0
I only play Pinball Magic on Atari ST a long time ago. I just remember I liked the sampled sounds of real pinball machine used in this game.
I don't owne the GX4000 cartridge so I've never played with + version.
I tested this CPC version yesterday and it's very nice. I like to have music and sound FX as it's really well managed.

I just wonder if Titan would like to add one of his wonderful splash screens to push the enhancement to the max.

It would be nice for them to release the PAKET engine for free at some point.

If you guys need a translation into German too, just let me know. I did Orion Prime before.

General Discussion - Introductions / Re: CPCRadio module

Last post by GUNHED - Today at 14:53

I suppose it's cool because it hasn't been done before.

A radio for the CPC has been done already around 2017, it is called SE-One and produced by Hans/TMTLogic. There was both an MSX and a CPC version, I still have the latter one:

Beside playing FM radio...

...it was fully compatible to the old MP3MSX hardware (like the SF3 etc.) and so was able to play MP3s as well.

Indeed TMTLogic produced a DAB radio later as well. Unfortunately his website is a little bit limited now, but there are links to a huge Google Docs repository.

There are players for both the FM and the DAB radio hardware in SymbOS, developed by EdoZ:

But I guess it's not compatible to this new hardware.

Wow, that's a massive amount of components just for a radio! Did it have a whole list of further features?

Bryce.

Well, well, that's all needed for good music.
However, I still prefer a MP3 player over all radio stuff.
That way I listen to what I do actually like. 

BTW: I talked to the producer of the Radio module a while ago and he is going to produce Mother MX4 compatible boards in future.

I am not sure I do understand what you mean by stopping GA, GA will only stop if you stop the clock.

Take a look at the illustration in post no. 100. GA stops itself due to the Lo signal on pin 1 of 244. This freezes the clock generator. I'll never believe you could be as blind as Bryce It's not like you.

1000x is the turbo mode 
At least what is written on the right down corner.

Go to the General tab in winape and look towards bottom right and you'll see a tick box labelled Turbo mode. That's what I use.

I'm starting to think that this is some sort of never ending April fools joke..

Then prove to him that his memory is faulty. So far I have found out that the 3rd byte of the Rom has the value 61 instead of 89. If at all he did it well with 3 people. For now, it turns out that z80 writes to frames. And that the ram has the correct contents. Maybe you could stop being mean and start helping.

Have you often confirmed that pin1 244 is 0?

I just bought some hook probes (now that I know that the are suitable) and evicted my family members from the team.

These should arrive by Friday, and will allow more reliable results.

I am not sure I do understand what you mean by stopping GA, GA will only stop if you stop the clock. Otherwise it will continue to output catch clock an will send RAS CAS to memory. And that will influence what you see on the right side of LS244.

You may hunt a ghost here esp. with the only tool available being a voltmeter.

Also if you see 1.5V on the left side, you have either not stopped the CPU or something is influencing the D7 line.

And again a Voltmeter is not good to troubleshoot digital logic.

I do have an oscilloscope now (the one that you suggested), if that gives more options to try.

(I might also buy those mini grabber clips, rather than trust the assistance of my kind but inexperienced family members.)
