Shift+F4 gives you 1000x.
Dunno if it is fixed or depends on your CPU.

How much turbo it need?

Not sure of the value as I use the Turbo option in Winape. Even this is beginning to get a bit slow because I keep adding more features but, still playable. Boosting the frequency will take care of the slowness but, that affects the interrupts and so everything is uplifted by the same ratio, making it unplayable. I think once I have all the features working, then I will reduce the number of screen assets to something more manageable.

too sad the CPC version is so bad - the concept seems to be fun.

It looks really amazing, I have been itching for something like this in the CPC.

Interesting read, seems like a very modest guy. A few interesting tidbits about the development of the GX and it's games too.

Alright, so a brief video of a WIP. Note that this is obviously way too slow and sluggish. I'm still writing my code as if I've got unlimited fps and a graphics card to play with! But now I have a vague idea of what is going on, its time to properly optimise stuff and get rid of stuff that doesn't translate well on a Z80 (for example, needless integer division and unnecessary redrawing of areas on the screen that haven't changed!), and to make the frame rate like the proverbial poo off a shovel.

Cool, it is using the same sound fx PSG rulez.
Though Fruity Frank still appears to be the #1 for me.

General Discussion - Introductions / Re: CPCRadio module

Last post by GUNHED - Yesterday at 20:52

Whaaaat? What's this?!

nothing spectacular. It's a FM module that is controlled by the CPC. I would expect a simple address decoding logic activates the FM IC which gets the data from the data bus. The IC does all the radio logic including sound output.

In short: your CPC controls a radio IC but you won't listen to a radio with your CPC.

No, I wouldn't do that either.
