webdeck Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Here are some programs I wrote for the Geneve. They may not work with the latest MDOS, however, given that they were written on version 0.98. gk2-9640 are a set of custom GROMs to use with the GPL interpreter. lines is a line drawing demo. tile is a breakout type game. gk2-9640.arc lines.arc tile.arc 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdeck Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Some bits of source code... ASM/S - Fast assembler - probably no longer relevant. SAVE/S and MSAVE/S - I believe this turns object code into binaries - probably also no longer relevant. LINES/S - source code for the lines demo above ASM.S SAVE.S MSAVE.S LINES.S 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+arcadeshopper Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks for posting this! I'll copy them over to the Geneve TIPI and try them outSent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I'm a bit confused about the version number - do you mean "Boot ROM 0.98" (vs. 1.00) or MDOS / GeneveOS (from which I never saw a version earlier than 1.14 that I got with my machine)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 We should consider to set up a folder structure on WHTech where we can collect all these works. The initial structure is at https://ftp.whtech.com/Geneve.new/. I could add "Software" as a generic placeholder, and on the next level, we can sort by topic or by author. As I expect that people look for software by topic rather than by author, sorting by topic makes more sense. DSK format should be preferred for easy use in the Geneve emulation in MAME. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, my bad. Boot ROM 0.98. "ver" output is: MDOS version 0.97R, 01/04/90 (06/22/90) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 That's really early. But as you wrote 0.97R, that rings a bell ... I remember I had to use such a release for my HFDC+MFM hard disk back in those days. The 1.14 was for floppy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I may still have some older MDOS disks lurking about. I think my machine was delivered with 1.04, I had a copy of 1.00 at one point in time, and I had several other variants between 1.04 and 1.14. I also have 0.97H floating around, as that was the first version that supported hard disks. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webdeck Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 @arcadeshopper Did you have to rebuild them from source, or did the binaries run (albeit with issues) without modification? Pretty amazing they work at all given how much MDOS has evolved since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I just copied over the binariesSent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
