GroovyBee Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Well, I'm more waiting for easily available PCBs with EPROM, RAM and a socket for a sound chip (doesn't have to be a Pokey...you could stick in a CPLD or Micro emulating anything, right). That would be quite sufficient for me. What are you using for development at the moment? Is it a RAM cart or a ZIF socket EPROM cart?

Goochman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The 7800 version can be downloaded here :- I want to see a conversion of "Midnight Mutants" to the "Charlie Sheen's Adventures" where you are a frikkin' warlock rockstar from Mars and you have to save the planet by gaining Tigerblood power-ups and Adonis DNA enhancers as you try to take down the evil Hollywood studios and save all of the planet's women for yourself... Each time you kill a villain, an audio sample would play Sheen proclaiming "winning" and if you have an SIO-to-Ethernet cable connection for the 7800XM, it'll post your current score with hashtag #winning to Twitter. I'd pay $50 for that. And you know Charlie Sheen would eat that up big-time. Id rather see a Charlie Sheen 'whose your daddy' custers revenge modifcation starring the 'goddesses' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 ZIF socket, using 27C256s. I think it was a Digdug Cart I slaughtered. EPROM carts are very easy to build, and quite OK to work with. What annoys me most about this is that to burn the EPROMs I have to use a different PC since I can't get my EPROM burner to work with my new notebook. I mean, at some point you rarely need to test on real hardware because you know more and more what you're doing. I do most testing on emulators, occasionally I burn an EPROM, and when I've used up enough of them to fill the eraser I'll erase them.

DracIsBack Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Oh yes, fwiw, I coded this. Cool job, Tom! Kinda neat to see on the screen. :-) and works fine on a real 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
