PC MBR version (via hackaday)

merkur: Heh, that was fast (well, relatively)
Marq: Sadly no music on the Megadrive version's video
xTr1m: Neat, but probably doesn't count. Plus, there's the 1k JS version already.

I'd really need to stop doing these, but the addiction is too strong! Sinclair QL. Positively thinking, it is a nice way of learning about some obscure platform.

Marq: As someone else said on here, at least it's a better benchmark than that TV noise nonsense from a while back.

Keep those ports coming. I should do another one myself, but I'm not sure which platform to target next. DC? TI-85? Vectrex?

ZX81? Fairchild Channel F?

Give me a Channel F and I'll do it. I don't do shit for hardware I can't test on.

Moerder: In the meantime, here is some information:
http://seanriddle.com/chanf.html
http://seanriddle.com/chanfspecs.html - why, it even has a 2-bit frame buffer. Luckily the audio chip appears to even crappier than a certain contemporary console.
Tetris!

There's also a thread on AtariAge:

"At the bottom he discusses the Channel F homebrewing community, which apparently consists of two people." :)

I'm considering Panasonic JR-200U, but the documentation is next to none

Marq, how about Enterprise 128 ;-)

I've been looking for an Enterprise, but they seem to be awfully expensive and rare...

Oh, I know a bit or two about the Channel F. I followed what some homebrewers did a few years back, mostly because I added the F8 support to dasm.

Anyway, it's a bitch in every respect (except that it has a framebuffer). It starts with the F8 requiring special parts for program memory. I think there exist (EP)ROM interfaces, but of course that are special parts too :D

MESS appears to support it (in whatever quality), maybe looking at its source could help a bit?

A good idea. Just by poking around I could already find the location of the character, color and character bitmap areas, and half accidentally discovered how the lowres gfx mode (64x48) works. Need to look further to find the sound chip (JR-100 manual didn't help) and VBI or other vblank timing method.

I've just picked up a 128 for around a hundred UKP. (The forty UKP postage is a minor detail!)

There are three on Ebay at the moment from the same guy in Hungary I got mine from.

Lovely, lovely. Placed a bet already.

Good luck there Marq :-)

A potentially useful linky too;

Any progress with the JR-200U in the meantime?

Sure do! The gfx side is completely clear, the CPU is just a 6800 variant, and the beeper produces sound (still hoping to get to the PSG if there is one). The current state of the exploration is documented here: http://www.kameli.net/marq/?page_id=1270

Well, that's unusual, no? Not the 6800 in itself, but the fact that someone sticks it into a home computer...

Thumbs up for documenting it :D
