fujinet #FujiNet bring-up on #AtariLynx

[tschak909]

@mozzwald and I have been working towards a #FujiNet bring-up on the #AtariLynx. Can anyone verify that this is a valid RedEye packet?

14:26:17.756 > LYNX-IN: 06 00 00 01 00 FF FF FA 
14:26:17.756 > 
14:26:17.784 > LYNX-OUT: 06 00 00 01 00 FF FF FA

Welp, we did it. @mozzwald and I, Two #AtariLynx, attached via #comlynx to #Fujinet, that are communicating with each other over the Internet. Using the testredeye program. #retrogaming

There is no single redßeye protocol. it depends on the code the game is using.

e.g. Malibu Voleyball or TTris are completely different

I don't remember where I got this from to begin with. But you could take a look at the redeye sources.

@mozzwald  and I have a #AtariLynx, with a #FujiNet connected via the ComLynx, playing a game of Rampart. With the addition of a wait for idle routine, collisions are gone, and network is much more reliable! IT WORKED!

 

[tschak909]

@karri is there any way to get faster output from your cc65 serial driver?

 

With the tightest while loop possible, I am seeing 170 microsecond gaps (roughly the same amount as actually transmitting a full character) between each actual character sent.

So freaking awesome!  I may be more excited about this than anything in the past five years! Kudos and awesomesauce!

The Fuji protocol is now working on the Lynx and Lynx is now able to send commands to the various sub-devices.

Interesting stuff. So it would be possible to link in a fujinet library to give the Lynx multiplayer capability?

Hero Quest comes to mind..

Short answer, yes.

 

Longer answer? You get access to a full-fledged network adapter with tons of protocol (e.g. HTTPS) and channel (think JSON) adapters which make communicating with end-points very easy.

 

...to say nothing of the fact that you can load any game wanted directly off the local or internet.

 

You should watch this: 

 

 

The long game for this, is to get #FujiNet onto every single #8bit device out there, and make them able to talk to each other, and to the internet at large.

Exciting. Surely the next big step for the Lynx.
