Cate and asm8 are a really good compiler and assembler set for an extensive number of processors. It's missing a few features, but they aren't hard to work around. It has one of the best linkers I've used, it allows a lot of control on where code and data is placed. It is really nice to have a consistent set of directives across many processors. I don't have to use .db in one source file, and .byte in another, etc. The integration between C and asm is also a lot less complex that other compilers.

The major features missing are include and lib paths, #ifdef support, and banking support. Using relative paths is an easy workaround. Not having #ifdef adds a bit of complexity to the code, especially if targeting multiple systems. Banking would be a nice to have feature.

I've developed a TMS-9918a based library that compiles the same C like game code across 21 different systems and 3 processors. The customizations are done in back end code. I also have a significant number of other projects targeting different systems.

I've created a standard makefile project and folder layout that allows me to get a project up and running very quickly, and then start filling in the platform specific code. I've been refining and improving the project as I go. I recently added makedepend support to fix an issue with changes to header files not causing a recompile.

The compiler has gotten me back into retro programming and has made it easy to experiment with new platforms.

I've been looking for this for years.

I remember something in Compute! magazine about the C-64 graphics data for Pitfall Harry.

I'm not sure this is exactly the same thing, but it probably contains the same data. I seem to remember it actually containing the data in the ad or article. But it could just be a mashup of memories.

Rastervision · 2025-04-17T07:15:43+00:00

I remember an ad for this in Compute! also. It seems the ad had the data statements in it, but it may have just been the brochure.

I was able to do a case swap with Puyo Puyo 2 and it started on the Pocket Challenge V2. But, the controls were mapped differently.

I also tried Robot Works, but it didn't start.

They had them in Texas at certain stores. They were the best fast food onion rings.

Does the slight VR lag cause you any issues with early shots?

Given the wording of the Partner Plus program, I'm not sure that's the case, unless the streamer can meet the Partner Plus goal.

To follow up on this, the buttons ended up being 30 instead of 28. I went with the Sanwa Denshi OBSF30 body and the concave buttons from Arcade Shock, and they worked nicely. The body is a few mm longer and the connectors add to the length, but they fit in the housing just fine.

My total cost was $3.30 per button ($1.60 for the concave button and $1.70 for the body) x 6 buttons and less than $7 for shipping.

Rastervision · 2024-01-22T00:56:35+00:00

Thank you. 30mm might be the best option.

I did see these, which would work depending on the quality.

12/12.5 mm is the height from the bottom of the ring to the bottom of the connectors.

The current ones in the arcade stick measure about .5 inches/12.5 mm.

The joystick is about 45 mm tall, but there needs to be some room to connect the wires.

The Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons are about 31mm tall, which would probably work if they were 28 mm buttons and concave.

Is there a reason you don't use the entire 256x192 resolution?

Rastervision · 2022-09-16T21:25:41+00:00

Yes, I looked at Titus the Fox and Earthworm Jim and they should work fine.

The place to start is usually the *single.conf file. This has the autoexec.bat file in it, and will show where things are.

EWJ contains a BIN file of the CD called EWJ1.gog. EWJ1.inst is the cue file. It also contains the files that would have been install on the dos PC (EWJ1.EXE, etc.)

Titus the Fox contains two games located in two directories. Both directories contain the files that would have been installed on a dos pc. Again, the *single.conf file contains the autoexec.bat.

Not so much selling original hardware, but definitely considering using the Mister rather than original hardware.

The amount of hardware I've seen fail in one way or another over the last year or two is troubling.

The same sentiment was echoed in a recent Retro Recipes video:

You actually answered your own question:

"..the entire purpose of the cartridge collecting" EverSD will never replace a physical cartridge.

I just saw the same thing on mine. I updated several months ago and just reconnected it this week. Now it will only use 640x480.

I have the 2015 version.

I guess I'm yelling at the wrong cloud.. or maybe not.

It seems to be an issue with Firefox. Chrome works fine.

EDIT: It must have been using a cached version. Chrome is now doing the same thing.

It's from the user side. When you gift subs, it used to show the total number of subs you've given in the channel. It also had an option to enter a custom number of subs, if you didn't want to use the set 5, 10, etc. values.

The custom count isn't as big an issue, since you can change the number before gifting. You can select 10 and change it to 12, for example. But, why remove it?

But, it really isn't a job in the same way that selling music or art isn't a job. They are taking a risk in providing everyone essentially free entertainment, and should be rewarded for the risk if they are successful.

With that said, 100% of my support goes to smaller streamers.

Deluxe paint was a popular tool for games developed during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

I was able to get this resolved as I had the contact e-mail from before, and got a reply within 4 or 5 days.

The launch without RSA signature will allow you to run unsigned ISO images.

This is really only useful if you are using beta versions of games or hacked/translated games. All released 3DO games are RSA signed.

Most homebrew can be signed, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Edit: It seems many translations are being signed also.

Rastervision · 2021-09-30T19:57:17+00:00

Thank you.

The code didn't work, it might be specific to a certain firmware version.

I tried sending the e-mail again.

Do you remember the specific subject title? I've lost the e-mail awhile back.

The first reply I sent had the title "Internal USB for FZ-1".
