NIAD Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 10 hours ago, Captain Cozmos said: I have pretty much everything in the archive up to the last month or so. Can you make a new snapshot of the changes like the ones from 1-22-2022? You have made so many changes there would no way to be able to keep up without downloading the entire thing just to mirror everything that you have done. Great work BTW... The Compilation ZIP Archives from 01-22-2022 only contain the ADAM software image files and ColecoVision ROM image files. Everything else on the ADAM Archive is not in these files. I have a lot of disk and rom images to clean up and add over the coming months and then there will be minimal further additions to be made… at which time, I will update the Compilation ZIP files. Sorry, you’ll have to check the Day Updates for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alekmaul Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yes, I hope so F18A is a must have to help us developing games for Coleco with F18A or Phoenix. I added register view of specific F18A registers. Palette management is also OK. I just need to add the refresh line function to have it ready to release ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alekmaul Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 I'm in search of Text mode (40x24 M3 M2 M1 001) and text mode 80 examples for F18A/TMS, to help me debugging the graphic part of emulator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chart45 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 will it be possible to play f18a mode for everygame like if you have it in your colecovision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alekmaul Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 f18a mode is not enough clear for me. what do you want exactly ? if it is playing games with F18A support like DEAD TOMB, yes you can play it, it works (except the scrolling part that I need to improve). Playing game like Circus or Canyon Bomber in F18A mode, yes you will be able to play them too. If you know other games with F18A support, don't hesitate to PM me, I will try to test them to know if they work. Also, I post again my question : I'm in search of Text mode (40x24 M3 M2 M1 001) and text mode 80 examples for F18A/TMS, to help me debugging the graphic part of emulator If you know where I can test such rom, please contact me !

chart45 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 legacy game without any blinking sprite . when you have f18a installed in you colecovision you always have it you dont turn it off to play legacy game or not f18a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, Opcode Games and Leo Brophy are the only programmers that have added support for the F18A's enhanced abilities to their games, besides Dead Tomb. These are some that I know of, but the roms are not freely available: Bosconian Tank Battalion Tank Mission Warp Warp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alekmaul Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 you're sure you're not talking about SGM instead of F18A @NIAD ? Regarding F18A, you can also add my games : Circus and Canyon Bombers. And, for developers, my library PVColLib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 yes. the f18a is a clickable option . you can turn it on or off if you want to play a game like antartic adventure that benefits from the 4 sprite limit for masking the seals coming out of the holes.

And, for developers, my library PVColLib Of the four games listed, Tank Mission DOES NOT require the SGM, but the other three do. Aside from that, they all play normally without enhanced graphics and sprites (ie: single colored sprites), but if an F18A is installed in the CV / ADAM or played on the Phoenix, enhanced graphics / sprites are used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alekmaul Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 ok, I see. Good to know. I'm still working on F18A support, especially for scrolling issues ... New version soon guys 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Just noticed something. I'm finding if i'm holding right to make a character move then switch opposite to go left there is a long delay before it starts to move in the opposite direction. same going left then right. the same game in another emulator switches the direction faster. it doesn't happen everytime but fairly often. windows sticky keys maybe? i dunno. Tested it on quest for the golden chalice and a few other games with a walking character. Edited April 15, 2023 by digress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alekmaul Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Thanks for your test @digress, I will check this problem. I hope to release a new version before end of May. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
