Back on the DC2N
After Massi cadenti’s tests yesterday I fixed the experimental DC2N firmware (the one for halfwaves) as it was not setting a bit prior to recording files from the C64 (the dumping feature was not affected at all). Following this change … Continue reading
A more useful save for a completely new game
I think that as part of my long-term plans I will add the option to save various data files as ASM (i.e. text) files, making pointers relative so that the result can be relocated and put where it fits (as … Continue reading

Finished LN2 foreground save code too
For the new foreground design mechanism I finished coding the save routines that apply to the format in use in LN2. I can now modify and save the foreground for LN and LN2 🙂 I will probably move to the … Continue reading

Finished new design foreground decoder for LN2 too
I had some time today to re-write the foreground decoder for LN2 that uses the new design strategy. While I was testing it I noticed something quite funny. Look at the object that’s framed in black below: Apparently that object … Continue reading

Looking for a reference to set the Z coordinate automatically in LN
For LN2 it was much simpler as the Z coordinate of foreground blocks has been set consistently (and accurately it seems) so I had no problem to find out the formula to calculate it. For LN it seems that objects … Continue reading

More on foreground
I had a bit of time today to finish the new foreground design mechanism, along with the foreground save routines for LN. I was testing the result when I noticed something was not as I expected it to be. My … Continue reading
