Cybergoth Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hi there! I just stumbled accross something: http://www.xmission.com/~trevin/atari/atari.html There is descriptions & docs about all the chips in the 8-Bitters. Question to the 8-Bit experts: Is this a good additional information source for you, or is all of this already covered well enough on Atari Archives?

RCorcoran Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Another editor option, while not free, is very robust. http://www.idmcomp.com/ It too has syntax highlighting and even has 6502 ASM plugins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven/TQA Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 maybe my website for some tech info & packing routines http://www.s-direktnet.de/homepages/k_nadj/main.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 Hi Heaven! maybe my website for some tech info & packing routines Maybe you want to point out some more of the interesting stuff on your page? It seems like there can be found more than *just* some tech info and packing routines. What are the highlights every 8-Bit programmer should check out there? Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 here we go... seems nearly 5 years now since i read the old stuff... what i would like to point out: - illegal opcodes description - how to use extra ram in 130xe and upgraded machine, how to bankswitch, etc... all for assembler coders. the best is the detection routine (most demos have...) it really works and tells you how much memory is build in... i made several intros in the past who used this technique... on 64k machines the intro showed less effects than on upgraded machines... automaticly... - how to do "HIP", 160x200x30 on standard atari machines without nearly flickering... the real story behind it... how it was found back in 1996 by an accident... (read the FAQ) - how to adress & detect mouse connected to the atari joystick ports... as amiga & atari st mouses... (amiga should be pc compatible?) - how to make missles transparent in a gr.9 screen... not so easy... - music pro tracker XASM replay source code to use MPT music in own productions - Theta musc pro tracker XASM replay source code to use TMC music in own productions - how to use flashpack for depacking data on the fly in the production (incl. prepacking...) - how i made my winning intro "really unreal" from 1997. how the twirling effect is done on 6502... a complete description... ("trainer doc") hmmm.... other interesting sections: - programming guideline (how to write code that it will work on 6502 ataris and 65816 upgraded etc...) - CPU detection routine (6502c, 65c02,65816) - how to tweak antic to get so called "mode9+" etc... the old way... there are clever ways to do this...but it shows the basic concept... ok.... and you got some information why i love demos, what productions i have made in the past and some taquart stuff...you got a similar sio2pc software for atari ST and other neat stuff... and not to forget: www.s-direktnet.de/homepages/k_nadj/a7800.html my atari7800 homebrew incl. source-codes seems some nice "unusal" collection... hve ps. there was a time as student when i had plenty of time to update my site on a regular basis....

Heaven/TQA Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 very cool. thanks manual... i went through my site and refound the complete source code for my "really unreal" intro incl. all data files etc... i will tweak that for XASM and republish it with comments so everybody can read it...right now it is for the 130xe macroassembler where you cant read it on PC (the ASM files...) hve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPIKE Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 This is a great idea. I would ultimately like to create a 2600 Programming section on AA ..Al YAY!!!!! it's always a bummer to find out a link you have been using for lot's o' 2600 info to be dead. because of that i have printed out tons of stuff over the last couple of years for fear i couldn't find all that info again. i found a great Atari binder to put it all in.

Happy_Dude Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Free C/C++ development system http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ I'm downloading this x86 game routine library right now, but if it's what I think it is I'm amazed it's still being updated because I have this (or something similar?) on a BBS compilation c.d from back in the day http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/ I finaly threw out my old dos based hex editor (from the same BBS c.d ) for this: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/free...xvi32/xvi32.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 Hi there! Free C/C++ development systemhttp://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ I'm downloading this x86 game routine library right now, but if it's what I think it is I'm amazed it's still being updated because I have this (or something similar?) on a BBS compilation c.d from back in the day :)http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/ The description of this forum reads "This is a technical forum for the discussion of programming as it applies to classic gaming consoles." So I fail to see how these two would fit in here. I'll check out the Hexeditor soon though. Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Oops. Looks like I jumped the gun with allegro (you could use it to port some classic games to PC ? ...... no?) As for djgpp I do recall some discussions in this forum about coding in C++. The reason I posted it is I'm reading through Eckhard's 7800 DevOS control program (Idiots guide in hand ) looking for something to do before I get a ram cart. Thats console related isn't it?

DEBRO Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 No way to disassemble 5200 roms in cart format? Sure there is. Use DIS6502. Use the start up switch /5200 to place it in 5200 mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
