jschultzpedersen Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Hi I downloaded the newest version of RBX2034 from your mail of Feb. 15th. I have a problem with the COPY command. It produces a SYNTAX error as you can see from the included screen dump. Am I using the command as it is supposed to be used? Or is this a bug. regards Jesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested that it worked in RXB 2020, but it didn't work in RXB 2024. So you're right, it should work like you describe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atrax27407 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The Classic99 file contains 5 GROMs in the "G" file and 3 ROMS in the "C" file. Whatever else you have to add (headers, extra dummy ROM, etc.) depend on the requirements of your device. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything these days online is in classic99 or finalgrom99 format nothing left in the old g/k format which makes trying to use old tech my pgram or my g/k harder.

RickyDean Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Here are some module disks that are probably csave files, they may contain some GK usable files?

jschultzpedersen Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Hi I ran into another possible bug in the 2024A version using the current version of Classic99. The CALL SCREEN works for me with the standard single numeric parameter. But the extended versions do not. See included Screen dump. Never mind the extra space. It happens without the space too. regards Jesper Edited February 21 by jschultzpedersen An extra space in the dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschultzpedersen Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hi Another small issue with RXB 2024A. The command CALL CHARSET(ALL) works all the way to character 159. But it does not reset character 30 though it says so at page C3 in the docs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXB Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I was told that RXB 2024A has a problem with CALL CHARSET(ALL) and CALL SCREEN("ON") and CALL SCREEN("OFF") So I fixed these in RXB 2024B Now I have noticed a ERROR in RXB 2020 and 2021 and 2022 that no one ever noticed so thanks for anyone that is debugging RXB for me. (Atrax27407 I always give credit where credit is due, again thanks) RXB 2024B.zip 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschultzpedersen Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hi I have a suggestion for a change to RXB2024B. I have worked my way through most of the manual by now and not encountered more issues. But I noticed that while it is possible to change screen mode by manipulating the VDP write registers from basic with the POKER(7,244,1,240) command, it is not supported by commands like VPUT - where you cannot go beyond 32 horizontally when placing the string on the display, and by HCHAR or VCHAR - which do not allow more than 768 repeats and folds back to the top to stay within the range of addresses used by GRAPHICS mode 1 for the display, if you start somewhere down the display. If the limit was raised for these commands sufficiently to support the TEXT mode - probably with a test to see if the range is compatible with the current mode, the TEXT mode could be made more useful to a basic user. The same might be done for CALL CLEAR, which only clears the first 768 addresses in VDP. Of course there might be a problem, if someone started moving the start address of the display away from address 0. POKER can do all sort of things to the VDP setup, I suppose. But then they are on their own! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
