Re: Football Manager
That doesn't mean a specific fix for any particular game can't be found, but a generic solution was too much for my coding skills.

Re: Football Manager
The Memotech 14L4 PAA devices were limited to 4 terms per pin. So the 512K SDX only made the ram available to CPM. MFX on the other hand uses a much newer 22V10 and that allows 8 to 16 terms depending on the pin. so the full 512k is available in Basic as well as CPM. PEEK (64122) is 15. However that...

Re: Football Manager
So, I'm assuming it's because the game loads into the contiguous 32k starting at 8000h and basic/SDX disk routines shrink that 32k to 21k, thus 28k "doesn't fit" in a 64k machine? Pretty much spot on. From my quick look at the MTX, Football manager's 2 game sections load from #8100 to #EF...

Re: Football Manager
USER MTX can deal with some single stage .MTX files. Anything that more than 1 block of data fails. That's becasue memu can patch the "rom" where the first stage loader make the call to load the next block from tape. On real hardware you can't patch rom, so after the first stage takes over...

Re: Strange behaviour
The edge detection circut on the MTS is based on the 741 op amp. See page 226 of the Phoenix manual. The final stage is a CMOS exclusuve or gate to set the level for the CTC, the rest is analogue and I don't have a clue how it works. I would hope that it was designed to be tolerant of component diff...

Re: Strange behaviour
I had a quick look at the Pothole Pete code. The program counter in that panel screenshot is at #8141, when it encouneted a #FF byte that triggered Panel. That's in the middle of some sprite tables, the CPU should never have been running code at that point. If the tape had loaded correctly the byte ...

Re: Only a week until the Retro-Comptuer Festival. Eek!
That does look good, though like Dave, I may be a little based. I tried an inexpensive AV2HDMI upscaler, and while yes it does mean I can use the HDMI input on the TV. However, the imige isn't that great. All the time I have a TV with scart, I'll stick with the passive AV to scart adapter that came ...

Re: Memofest 2023, Where and When?
Technically there's enough memory though for text 2 and graphic modes 3, 4 and 5. MFX already has 80 column text support in basic using the VGA display, so there's not a great deal to be gained by adding text 2. Mode 3 is currently half implemented, because of the expanded sprites. It's a question t...
