ckoba Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) So I'm up here in the middle of nowhere during a week-long holiday, intermittent connection, and I'm frankly bored stiff by the hot-springs-and-shrine routine the rest of the family wants to do. So I'm playing around with ROM cartridges under classic99. I've discovered that it was fairly easy to rework TurboForth to co-exist with other ROM cartridges selected with Tursi's multicart, and even easier to patch the source to allow it to be built with the specified banks without the need to patch binaries. Attached is the source patch, and I've put the proof-of-concept into my Logo/Logo-II/Multiplan cartridge as it sort of fit the theme of "non-mainstream languages" and there was a lot of ROM space left. The binary is at https://www.disavowed.jp/ti/ubergrom/ti-ubergrom1.tar.xz The only difference between this release and the previous release of this cartridge is the EPROM. Re-burn that and you've got TurboForth v1.2.2 as an option on the multicart screen. Willsy, would this patch (or a version thereof) be appropriate for inclusion in the TurboForth source distribution? It consists of variable replacements for hardcoded >6000 and >6002 addresses, as well as a definition variable for the base cartridge bank. There is no change in binary output (verified with md5) when "rombank" in 0-00-Header.a99 is set to 0, and does the offsets per Tursi's offset calculations on the GROM side of the Multicart menu. Thanks, and enjoy your nice constant connectivity (it took me a few tries to get the image uploaded to my server) turboforth-base-diff.gz Edited May 1, 2016 by ckoba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willsy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yes I can update the source. I should have done that in the first place, huh? Do you have updated source code that you can post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckoba Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'll try to post it tomorrow morning before the extended family wakes up. Might take me a few tries, so please be patient, connectivity here sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckoba Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 This has been done. It's at http://www.disavowed.jp/ti/TurboForthV1.2.2-ck.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
