Internal overhauls

Never even realized I would be spending so much time with this thing!! What started out as a desire to make a few minor fixes is snowballing into one Giant todo list!

Regardless, it is still fun. Even if I don't half know what I'm doing. :lol:

It's amazing though all the little quirks and bugs one notices when one has access to...

feeling lonely

ok well after listening to the numen demo just for kicks I quickly compiled a version of atarixlbox with the new_pokey code from foft, the creator of the GP2x port. It sounded pretty ok so I'm thinking of going with that, thus reducing the number of sound options to pick from. It even manages to make it through Ghostbusters without crashing.

I'm trying to round up some people for testing of this baby, just running into a few snags. But if anyone is interested in kicking some tires just PM me. The big issue is going to be figuring out how to distribute this thing considering it's origins. :lol:

In the meantime things will be delayed just a tad. I discovered that the pokey sound code...

Well I've pretty much completed upgrading the core to 2.03 with the exception of the sound core (see pokey.c comment below).

Had to back out of the pokey.c update until I can figure out why Beef Drop does not want to work.. :lol:

I was fooling around and put some quick and dirty code in to support the 5200 analog stick. This does create some other...

[Colorblind]

I was tinkering around with some code that was posted up on the A800 sourceforge cvs that now provides seperate NTSC and PAL palette support. When I implemented the code (assuming I didn't foobar something) I noticed that the PAL palette's black level seemed kinda off. See below pictures.

Now this...

minor atarixlbox update

Posted by Shannon, 02 January 2008 · 39 views

Quick little update.

I got around to compiling the code changes I mentioned earlier (dec 23) and got em working except for the up/down configuration which I'll look at later.

Seems the capslock key is not mapped properly. Not sure how to fix this.

After a bit of tracking I was able to get the capslock situation fixed. Now we can enter lowercase...

Well I've been wanting to change the default menu graphics for atarixlbox for ages. Although I do not exactly have the graphic skills. I was actually hoping to find someone with graphic talent to do the work for me. So I dug in and messed around a little.

This is an idea of what I was envisioning for the opening graphic displayed, as well as the...
