chjmartin2 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Good idea? Would anyone want to hear their Aquarius do 4 bit PWM at 155 kHz, or 1 bit shaped audio at 170 kHz (not there yet) or flicker demos, etc. Thinking about piecing it all together onto a Cart. teaser.bmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Looks great to me! A "sampler" of your work to date would be a great way of demonstrating how the boundaries are being pushed on the Aquarius, graphicswise and soundwise. I've attached a PNG version of your screenshot, which is a much smaller download than the BMP produced by the emulator: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chjmartin2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 It would be easier with a screen editor. Did you send me yours? (For some reason I think you did, but maybe I was dreaming.). I used Photoshop to do this, lined stuff up to the grid and then ran it through the converter, seems like too much work. I wonder if anybody would want the cart - it isn't a game - but you could show off to your friends. As I built it I would ask people what images and sounds they want on it, etc. Dunno - it is something I could do anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 You've reminded me that I need to finish the next version of my screen editor. I never released the first version because it's currently in a VERY rough state (I only posted a screenshot), but once the second version is sufficiently polished, I'll put it out there for anyone who's interested in using it. Among other things, it will be able to generate a bankswitched "slideshow" cartridge containing a succession of static images, so you can create "mockups" in the editor and then immediately see how they will look on a real Aquarius.

chjmartin2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Is there an ASM keyboard routine from the basic ROM that is easily incorporated into other programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yes there is; I used it in the Aquaricart software. I'll look it up once I get home tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
