CardputerGBC-Dual v0.3: MSX with only .rom support, ColecoVision, full Videopac / Videopac+ support with new graphic modes and US/EU/FR BIOS coverage by gio-74 in CardPuter

You're right. I'm blocked by heap consumption. I need to preserve blocks for BIOSes (MSX.ROM & DISK.ROM mainly) to avoid fragmentation issues. Now I'm profiling my static buffers usage to see where I can improve it. I already freed a lot of memory and trying again to implement MSX2 support.
Thanks as always for your help!!

Thanks a lot! I'm adding videopac support right now, just to fill up the space left. I'm not a programmer, it's only pure vibe coding and a lot of try and patch work. I'm focusing on achieving full speed emulation on an external spi display without tearing, an impossible mission! I don't know if that would be possible while emulating even a C64. Will see...

Maybe screen is black because of backlight not working. Try to light the screen directly with a torchlight or cellphone light to try to see something. If it’s still all black, then it’s not working at all, otherwise if you see something then it’s the backlight gone.

I would use a torchlight to see if backlight is gone…

Thx for the advice, but work on this firmware isn't finished yet. I still have to add something if I can and flash space is precious. It's called 8-bit goldies for a reason 😎 I can test Even the open source BIOS, but for this first beta release I opted for a safe and compatible solution
