10:05 PM Bug #48 (Closed): CORE13 - Veronica BASIC not working
Closed. Working fine with my Veronica clone and no feedback received from tester. foft
10:02 PM Feature #3 (New): High resolution antic support
Paused until anyone uses it. If it starts getting used I might fix the offsets... foft
10:01 PM Bug #25 (New): F10 Hard Reset Ignore inserted cartridge (Core v7)

10:01 PM Bug #64 (Closed): Pokey pdm timing incorrect
Found the issue when doing the pokeymax work - I'd lost some changes by accident. foft
10:00 PM Feature #72 (Closed): Implement stock Atari 400 mode
OK, so for all intents and purposes I think its the same. At least until we add the split bus for the 800... I added ... foft
09:58 PM Feature #68 (Closed): Implement stock Atari 800 mode
Great! Going to close this until I decide to add 2 bus support or you find a bug in it:-)
I mean the profiles. The...

That worked! I tested both variants of Archon, MULE and One on One and they all loaded just fine. Great job! Now I ju... Farb
08:16 PM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
OK, I built v27. This has a single floating data bus. I also updated the os rom in slot 4 to this one:

I guess it’s checking c000-cfff then?
I’ll try adding a floating data bus...

07:55 AM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
The OS ROM I'm using has a CRC of 0e86d61d. Farb
07:47 AM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
Did you load the original OS B or use the one off the jic? I think the one I included on the jic is patched. I should... foft
07:46 AM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
I’d better wire up the atx code so I can try it myself:) foft
08:28 PM Core v27
Small update to try to get some atx stuff working...
Single floating data bus: atari800 non-present ram and D1/D5/...

11:20 PM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
FYI, I tested core 26 and put the Eclaire into 48K 400/800 mode using OS/B (what would even happen if I used XL OS wi... Farb

I‘d personally would love to see this get as close as possible to a real Atari 800 but obviously I’m not doing all th... Farb
09:48 PM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
Fixed the beep on reset. Will build as v26. Not sure whether floating data bus if worth it. Looks like it wasn't even... foft
09:39 PM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
This is fantastic progress!! Farb
09:23 PM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
That worked... Now for that horrible beep on reset. foft
09:17 PM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
This is due to a brk being hit when it jumps to the cart to initialize it. Making the bus 0xff when no ram present wh... foft
08:32 PM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
Got signal tap on it. Gets part way through booting then hangs at address 000c. This is after memory detection itself... foft
10:30 PM Core v26
Atari800 mode fixes:
* Made no ram return 0xff, fixes 16k/32k boot since they were detecting a cartridge then crashi...

Tried the salt xex. If I boot it on 48k, then change ram to 16k/32k it returns the expected results. i.e. ram test pa... foft

10:25 PM Core v25
A few fixes in pokey from when I was working on pokeymax.
Also the start of Atari 800 support. Some bugs still, be...
foft
10:12 PM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
Built as v25 anyway in case anyone wants to play, but definitely more to do on this... foft
09:48 PM Feature #68: Implement stock Atari 800 mode
Squashed several bugs, but struggling with 16k and 32k mode for some reason, not booting. foft

Got it booting again after a few small bug fixes.
Some reset issues on the 800... and it fails the XL banking acid...

OK, that sounds ... fun! It won't be expensive to add support for but I need to think about it.

@farb - do you know if the protection ever needs the floating data bus? For now I've set 0xc000 to either 0xff in <52... foft
08:57 PM Feature #68 (In Progress): Implement stock Atari 800 mode
Added Atari800 mode.
Ram selection dialog changed to system. Pressing fire toggles 800/xl/xe.

Pleased to see it looks pretty simple, so we should be able to plug this in without too much pain. foft

Ah, that makes more sense. The loadAtxSector seemed to be missing all the timing I was expecting, then I saw the phan... foft
