That is mighty impressive!
I would love to see the actual car you are driving to give it that FZero vibe.
I was also thinking how nice it would be to not make it an F1 game, but a PowerDrift type of game instead so that it would have hills, dips and jumps. I'm guessing that a lot more memory would need to be freed up, so it would probably need to be a mode 1 game?

Mode 7, point & click adventures...
At this rate, the Amstrad CPC will be receiving a Tomb Raider 3D port by 2050 and a Shadow of the Colssus one by 2075.
The bits of this machine are duplicating every few decades!

You can do It on stiff wires. z80 wait line (Ready) and iorq pin 20

Quote from: robertix on Yesterday at 22:17Thanks a lot. You're so right. My CPC is a german 6128 ... not plusI wasn't aware that the 6128 and the 6128 plus have a different pinlayout 🙈 But what is the exact layout? Pinning translation between different connectors (CPC-PL-9, Centronics 36pin, Floppy connector 34pin) ? ? ?
That was on the Wiki page that McArti already mentioned:
Your cable currently is configured like the first connector from the left but it needs to be like the second one.
Double check if they have aligned the red lane like in this picture or from the other side.

Looks great, are there any technical details how this fake mode 7 works in this game?
Line doubling? 32 char wide screen for optimal maths? Byte addressing, not nybble.

Last post by mmldrm - Today at 10:38Thanks. I thought that must be correct.
Is there a way of doing this with less than 3 people? 😅 I did see that I could use a little solder to fix the wires to the pins, but I'm not doing this because I don't own this 6128.
If not, it's ok, I have two teenagers that can help.

Last post by mmldrm - Today at 10:01More simply, should I continue to short IORQ->READY while I also do IC115->R143 (red wire)? So both wires at the same time. (4 hands!)
(Also, I now have an oscilloscope, if that is useful during these tests.)
