CV Gus Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I am currently working on something for both the CV and the 5200. I will likely start with the 5200 version. Once I get the prototype ready- if I can- I may need a very, very simple homebrew cartridge game to properly test it. On a Commodore-64, I could program it in just 30 minutes or so. Is there anyone who could help me with this? For now, I'd like to keep it a secret, but if it works, a whole new class of games can be done. There are two things I must figure out for this to work. I have already gotten the first part ready. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Do you just need a rom or something with source? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV Gus Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) O.K., I figured out how to deal with the second problem. Now, it exists. I've given it what tests I can, but what doesn't help is the fact that the 5200 cables really are pathetic, and may be throwing off my results. I'll have to rig something else for a better test. The tests I have given it are favorable. It works. If it does that last thing, then, as I've said, a whole new class of games may be available for 5200 and maybe even CV and 2600 owners, since the basic design applies to all three. A ROM will not do, I'm afraid . The only way to run this thing properly is with an actual 5200 test game- a cartridge casing is not necessary, though, as long as I know how to plug it in. For now I'd like to keep this project a secret, although of course whoever would program this test cartridge would know- it would be impossible for him not to figure out what I'm trying to do from the description in any case.
