Hi,

during my search of the best line algorithm i found this website.

Hi Mike,

of course, you are right. Thanks for the tip.

I use the line routine from Bitbreaker from codebase64. https://codebase64.org/doku.php?id=base:bresenham_s_line_algorithm_2 The results are very good. Line x0,y0 to x1,y1 Cycles in total xxxx per pixel yy 00,00 to 99,00 5219 per pixel 52 00,00 to 00,99 5219 per pixel 52 00,00 to 99,99 5516 per pixe...

Dear all, Do any of you have a very quick line drawing algorithm that you can share here? The one I'm currently using is from the site https://retro64.altervista.org/blog/category/programming/ and probably not the fastest. I would be very grateful for suggestions, tips and of course complete code. W...

Yes, I mean some screensavers can be implemented with the F2 key. But this is only a gimmick.
The IRQ clock, i mean could be placed under the normal screen. And of course with an alarm set and alarm tone.
Even just a wish. But then the FE3 would be perfect.
Or what is the RTC for?

Thanks a lot for the answers. I have one "trick" to save six bytes and eight cycles! lda value1 ; for $1800 ; eor #%00000010 sta $9005 ;here $1800 jsr clr_speedcode ;$1000 jsr render_scene lda #154 jsr vsync lda value2 ; for $1000 ; eor #%00000010 sta $9005 ;here $1000

Sometimes I used

STY $ZP
… some code
LDY $ZP

instead of
TYA
PHA
… some code
PLA
TAY

A little bit faster and shorter code if you have some ZP registers free.

I've found my FE3 to be a versatile cartridge, once I worked out its features. There were a couple of enhancements I wanted it to have so I took a look at the source code and, before I knew it, I'd ended up re-writing the firmware. In my hubris I've named this "Ultimate Expansion", I like...

Dear Mike,

thanks a lot for your answer.

I had thought that the reset write protection only counts for the storage function itself and not for the software version updates.

Learned something again. Asking helps.

Hello, i have the FE3 as an .prg file from the BADAPPLE demo with rev020. After flasing the FE3 to version rev022 everything works fine. But after a new start of the VICE the flashed FE3 is with rev020. That is clear for me. I do not save the .prg file. But how can i save the flashed FE3 to an .prg ...

Hello, For me, the tools from chibi have established themselves. There I can then switch very quickly either to a program from disk or tape or to a module. Of course, this is only possible in conjunction with the VICE emulator. If you have any questions about usage, I'm happy to help. Best regards S...

What memory and machine settings should be used? Could you look over the program again? It shows some errors, with @-characters. The demo runs fine here. As had always been the case, programs using MINIGRAFIK need at least a +8K RAM expansion. Sven, I strongly suggest you mention the RAM requiremen...

I wish all members of the Denial Forum a Happy New Year 2024. Attached a small MG Demo... Because of the small speed of BASIC you should switch on the VICE emulator to maximum speed.
