cbmeeks Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 So I'm building a simple 6502 homebrew and I'm thinking of using the F18A as the video controller. Anyone use the F18A in a homebrew or 6502 system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Funny you should ask... The AppleTi Card. There were also some 3rd Party Video cards made using the TI9918 for the Apple ][.. The name Super Sprite comes to mind.. MarkO Edited May 16, 2016 by MarkO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Isn't the Apple II based on the 6502? I can't remember, anyway if it is, you'll want to check out... << THIS THREAD >> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgeld Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Also the arcade board for Apple II so yes you can and given the simplistic architecture of the II you should have some decent program examples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmeeks Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have the manual to the Sprite board. What's the arcade board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) While not an F18, the VTech Laser 2001 and CreatiVision used the TI TMS9928 chip the F18 is based on.So there are some games and a BASIC for it.<edit>Yes they are 6502 based.

carlsson Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 As far as I know, nobody in the CreatiVision community yet have fitted their console with a F18A, but I suppose it may be a matter of time before anyone takes up the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the arcade board? http://www.applefritter.com/files/SuperSprite%20&%20Arcade%20Board%20-%20CreativeComputing.02.1984.pdf in a nutshell the same thing, no speech synth, and a 8910 instead of a 8912 for AY sound /music Edited May 16, 2016 by Osgeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew180 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 There are one or two people in the 99/4A subforum making a 9995-based system with an F18A video subsystem. I can't remember the details right off, I'll have to see if I can dig up the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Both pnr's Minicortex (9995 based) and 6502 code to use with the F18A are mentioned here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/237521-using-the-f18a-with-another-computer-than-the-ti-994a/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
