okay... I see it. I'm not sure this is something I can do on my own. It would require the creator to debug the specific areas and let me know what's different. Otherwise.... I'd have to debug the whole game, and figure out the entire thing to even find the routines, never mind what'd wrong.
If they want to debug inside CSpect and figure out what's not working, I'll be happy to address it.... but without them, I'd be looking for a needle in a haystack. ☹️
okay - played it for a bit, didn't notice anything wrong.... going up ladders looked okay, and going to the console, the text came on as I thought it should. So not sure what you're seeing.....
Create an image of the 2.08 SD card, then use that on the command line. If you download the ZIP file, there's a program included that'll turn that into an image for you.
when the OS is running, it’ll return that properly, but if you run a .NEX file directly from the command line, it’ll return whatever value I’ve hacked in a while ago.
you can check nextreg 1 (or something) to see if it’s running under emulation or not.
I've no idea. From what I can tell, it's just the timers due to the way DMA clocks up used TStates. I have change the DMA a little to be more accurate, though it'll never be perfect - but that might help.
k - I can confirm it's not as per hardware... Not sure what the issue is, or how it works mechanically... tried a couple of combos without any luck, so will need confirmation from Alan on how they actually work - or someone that can read the VHDL.
I'm not sure. It's been in for a while, so I'm not sure what state it's in. One timer certainly works, but I'm unsure if anyone has used the cascading timers.... I'm also not sure what I used to test them, as I can't find any cascading demos...
If you have a simple example - with source, then I can take a look....
Sorry... not following. It dies at as soon as you run it? I'm running it on my VM and it seems fine here... Can you try the beast.nex demo? It's fine here. That command line is a little odd... CSpect -zxnext <file.nex> this is all you should need.
esxDOS has changed significantly, so it's possible. If I can get a hold of it, I'll take a look. EDIT: got it here, and see the issue - taking a look now.
Oh wow.... its crashing adding the icon to the window! What the actual hell!?!?! Via Window.set_Icon()
Does it work running any of the demos? Running the "beast.bat" file?
Oh wait... you're on MAC aren't you... interesting, might be a mono bug with the window icon. I can put a check around that for you. But please try the supplied demos just to let me know it's consistent.
Do the included demos run? beast.bat etc.? Does your batch file boot into 48K basic? if so... add -zxnext to the command line. I've a fix for this coming....
I'm running it fine here... I unzipped into a clean folder and ran with Foldertest\CSpect.exe -w3 cspect-next-16gb.img So not sure what's different with yours.... Does it run the included demos (beast, parallax, mod etc)?
I haven't tried, but Flash did use CSpect to help develop so I believe so. However, it won't run at the moment as it's tuned to KS2 machines, and it'll have to wait until the KS1 version is released - I believe.
