Yesterday i learnt from Lint that there is a new Snes toolchain coming down. The Project can be found herehttp://code.google.com/p/snes-sdk/. Right now i have it running under linux. Just working on a patch for os x. Thumbs up to Ulrich Hecht for his work on this project. Features: WLA DX Assembler Backend 816-tcc [...]
Had a big breakthrough yesterday with our Super Nintendo Snesram project. Got for the first time a commercial game running. This was quite a hard one. Spend a great amount of time debugging the memory uploads routines. I had to add CRC checks to both sides of the hardware. An AVR hosted CRC memory check and SNES hosted CRC [...]
We have been working the last 4 Weekends on a cool side project – we built a DIY Super Nintendo development hardware. As a SNES Programmer or SNES Nerd you always want to run your code on the orignal hardware. But this is only possible using old backup stations from the 90ies like the Super [...]
I had so much fun finding out how good the Snes9x GX Emulator for the Wii is. I never really got into the Wii hacking scene yet, just keept a little and h following the exploiting status of the wii. So when the Homebrew Channel came out, i installed it. But never really did [...]
Always annoyed me not to have the beloved ‘Select-Copy, Middle Click-Paste’ thingy on my Macbook. Finnally i figured out how to do it. 1) Install USBOverdrive 2) Fire up its Prefpane, and map the Middle Mouse Button to paste action 3) Install SIMBL 4) Install this SIMBL Plugin for Terminal.app
My wordle…
So the next thing could be an Chip-8 emulator runinng on a medium sized Atmega. CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by the late Joseph Weisbecker. It was initially used on the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800 8-bit microcomputers in the mid-1970s. CHIP-8 programs are run on a CHIP-8 virtual machine. It was made to [...]
Finally we want to do something useful with the Ledmatrix. The ultimate Project would be an Gameboy Display sized RGB thingy. But this is too complex and can’t be done with a few and cheap parts. Lets say you go for 160×144 Pixel, so this makes 90 panel you would have to feed which [...]
Today we added support to display graphics on the matrix. Used some simple and not optimal color conversion routines to display an RGB pic in the RG colorspace…doesnt look too bad. git://github.com/optixx/megaledmatrix.git
Max made some progress with the ledmatrix. Nice PWM stuff.
