HELP !
I need the clock table of the 6502, don't laugh !!! I got 4 different.
I need the right one !! in fact I need the 6507 one !
It's the last thing before the first public release of my atari 2600
emulator (runs games of 2k,4k,8k and 12k; 16k, super chip and ram+ in
work, joy supported, not the paddle yet;sound is awful but is present;
opl3 and >; 60 frames/sec on my p120)
HELP me and I'll release the emulator !
And another... talking to me on IRC:
> somebody told me you are doing a VCS2600 emulator?
other> true
> how are you doing?
other> fine .. in a week i will have a week off work
other> then ill do some finishing up

other> no promises though
> what OS are you working under?
other> only reason im not finished is because im really
overworked
other> the emulator is for DOS but developed under os2 since
its 100% assembler and asm tends to make nasty system crashes
.. os2 has some nice crash protection that speeds up things
> true, I hate debugging under dos, windows is not better at
that...
other> os2 is nice for developers
> tell me, when finished...
> bye
New CD's
Found on some page, can't rememeber where (should keep links in future)
Starting 1983, computer magazines published a lot of advertisements
for "brandnew" home computers. Some became famous, others we never
heard from again. However, I find it quite interested to flip through
the pages of these old magazines. The pictures here are taken with
permission from "Happy Computer" magazine, MagnaMedia publications.
BTW: Soon, there will be a CD-ROM with all the material from
"Happy Computer". Did you ever see a CeTec-10 home computer?
On this CD-ROM, you will... More infos to come!

Al K. has several times announced in the newsgroups, that he knows about some
emulator(s) in development, but that the proprammers have not decided about
any release yet.

The version I have on my powermac runs Asteroids, Lunar
Lander, Black Widow, Space Duel, and Gravitar. It was a
port from the X version, and I'm modifying the vector
drawing code to draw anti-aliased vectors. I still haven't
received permission from the original authors to release
it.

Thema: C64 Emulator Writing Problem...
Von: Earle F. P.
Datum: Wed, 27 Mar 1996 13:37:25 -0500
I'm having a slight problem with porting my Mac64 C64 emulator from Mac
to Win95. Most everything's working okay...I even have a neato
tree-list view for D64 images/etc. But there's one problem that I
cannot figure out, maybe someone who's had similiar problems can help
me:
When I perform a RESET on the C64 engine, everythign runs fine: the
memory test is performed, and I get the READY. prompt. But anything
having to do with printing numbers doesn't function:
* I have "0 BASIC bytes free" according to the startup screen
* entering any numbers (as in 10 rem) causes a syntax error
Has anyone had such a strange problem porting from 16-bit to 32-bit
code? I've checked my SBC and ADC functions (the likely suspects) but
they seem to be working fine. My memory mapping is okay, too. I've
even disabled interrupts and my keyboard routine!
