dayeight Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Bank switching: That is the only way to get over 4k, correct? Is this done via coding or is having 8k automatic? Project I want to do: Since I know I can't code in asm, but since people were kind enough to bless us with a text adventure skeleton http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html...SoftwareID=3369 and mr. slocum's new sequencer kit http://qotile.net/sequencer.html which says the tunes can be injected into current projects. So I asked mr. slocum if it would be possible to use the dark mage skeleton to make a text adventure with music. He said yes, but you'd prolly have to kick it up to an 8k cartridge. So... this goes back to bankswitching, do i have to do bankswitching via programming? And for anyone whose looked at the seq kit, would it be simple jump (is that right?) routines to match the current location to a selected tune? And I guess before I start any of this, hozer can make an 8k cartridge for me right? I'm using this for a senior showing at school if i can figure it out.

CPUWIZ Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Yes, bankswitching will have to be done in code. My personal opinion is, stay away from trying to make a 2600 game without assembler knowledge. Hozer no longer exists but you will be able to purchase bankswitched PCB's from AtariAge very soon. Oh, welcome to the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, welcome to the board. Well, I'm a quickish learner and its not like I don't have any programming expierince, I'm just trying to minimize pain. Can you define "very soon"? Hopefully late April at the latest? And thank you, but my stats do tell me I have posted 7 other messages as some pount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I can't give you a precise date but I would say in a week or two. I noticed you had 8 posts but I didn't say hello yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
