Sorry, I cleaned up the mess and the instructions. No need to rebase the rtstella branch.

So after using 64Bit Pi OS did you get past the AboutDialog.o when compiling ? Because it hangs there for me, too ...

I rebooted a few times and tried different things like configure without host=rtstella and building the master branch or just using make and eventually it finished the build.

 

There are a few fixes needed in the driver for the 64bit build. (hint: use long instead of int in line 99 and 124)

 

I am currently testing @DirtyHairy's counter.

Hi Everybody. Just curious what the current state of this project is? Haven't seen any updates in a few months. Thanks

I started to build a version with a MAX-II CPLD, but it didn't worked and after a few days of debugging I found out that one of the I/O pins of the MAX-II was stuck high. I have order (and already received) a new MAX-II test board, but haven't started to solder it to the test setup..

hey, uh, do you think it'd be possible to take a dead 2600 for the case and cartridge port and use it for the Unnamed 1970s Console?
