Right now I'm also shopping for a new Arcade1up countercade. Leaning towards either the Galaga 40th Anniversary edition or Marvel Super Heroes.  🐱

      Hardware emulation with Stella

      By DirtyHairy · Posted

      On the other hand, if the Kroko has code that explicitly handles this case, then maybe there are other, more legitimate instructions that I don't remember from the top of my head that do two consecutive accesses to SC RAM. Can't think of any though.   EDIT: and actually, thinking about it, for the cart RMW is even three consecutive accesses to the same address 😏

      Hardware emulation with Stella

      By DirtyHairy · Posted

      @Al_Nafuur If it works correctly then you should rebase the branch in your repo on my "rtstella" branch and adapt the build instructions (configure with "--host=rtstella", "make clean" before building, run without "nice -20", check the output on the console for "rtstella main loop"). You can also modifiy configure on your branch to build rtstella by default. Atm @Kroko is not running rtstelle, but the normal scheduling loop.   I think this is for RMW instructions. These perform two consecutive writes to the same address. The first write writes the operand value, the second one the actual result. The address bus does not change in between, but you need to read the correct result from cycle 2.   Actually, this is an issue: if stella takes to long before it puts the second value on the bus the cart will read the wrong value. This is one case in which the assumption that the cart does not care about longer cycles breaks. Although, on second thought, I can't imageine why anyone would do a RMW on SC RAM, short of a bug.

      By GoldLeader · Posted

      Throwing it out there...I'm not sure why given you asked for opinions on Recharged games etc., and then got mad if they didn't match your own,  but maybe if instead of saying "Try to say something bad about this..." (BTW did you really think @ledzep would find that some kind of challenge?...I can see it now,  "Oh,  Now I LOVE THAT!  How come you didn't show me that before?  You  were COMPLETELY RIGHT all along!  I've been a silly old goose,  can you ever forgive me?  Keep the video and song recommendations coming!  I've got a lot of catching up to do!" )  Maybe if instead,  you had said,  I see Atari This Way, (and you insert your opinion) and say how you like this song and it reminds you of the Futuristic Dream that you equate New Atari with... Maybe if you did that more often...And also realize,  unless something's drastically changed, we are dealing with OPINIONS here.  Ya see, having a Universally agreed with opinion,  is Very Hard to do.  And why would you want to?  Wouldn't you rather that everyone has their own opinion and only a few will line up with yours?  Differing thoughts make the world go 'round!  Would you really want a world where everybody thinks the same? (Wasn't that the key thing that made you hate The Borg?  That they were an affront to individuality and Free Will...and different opinions?)
