ZSNES board

Post and image changed above to reflect ngevan2k's finding.

I really wish there was a better scan of the official schematics. My copy is scanned at slightly too low of contrast, skewed, folded, split into 4 parts, and saved as JPG.

welcome Grigori...

uh, one question: how do you know all of this?

Meh.

The project is basically dead. Long live the ZSNES bureaucracy.

Oh wow.

This game is being marketed so totally wrong. From the name and color scheme, I thought it was another lame slasher game.

It needs a more descriptive cover like Back to the Future 3.

bot already mutated into human form. shoot it, pa!

Well, I guess EXTBG mode is crazy, too. Sure, games technically enable it, but the only possible way to show any difference between it and regular Mode7 is to rely on the mosaic glitch to cause the two layers to be different. Well, you can put it in front of sprites. ;) is this how the wooden posts...

doubtful.

the emulator "freezes" because it's waiting for a keypress or a joystick button press. You should always be able to just tap a random keyboard button to "unfreeze" it.

seriously. literally thousands of bytes of data will be different. you won't know what's what.

give up? I mean, unless you know how to disassemble code, or can use a debugger. The other way, is if there are other weapons, to figure out the memory address for when other weapons are used... one byte might be the weapon, the other the ammo left. If you know how the other weapons work, then you c...

probably unrelated, but check your DPC Latency.

type the bolded part into google if you don't know how.

I wonder if the PCB IDs correlate, or if they tend to swap out SRAM chips on them. That would be pretty tacky to have two identical PCBs, where one game expects 0x00 SRAM and another 0xFF SRAM. The SRAM doesn't do anything but store data. If you're saying that game 1 might expect a location to be F...

GRID - fucking hard. Also, driving assists are counter-intuitive. I do loads better without them turned on. What the hell? I hated Grid. The game was a pain and not fun at all. DIRG, uh, DIRT 2, watching my brother play it, the driving directions seem to make him anticipate the corners a ton better...

ah. but in NTSC and PAL land, one frame is 1/30 or 1/25 of a second.

What you want is increment per field. Which will look horrid on interlaced video.

Matthias_H, two thoughts: 1) Are you including rubber feet for the 4 corners of the reader? Would seriously cut down on reports of failures because of coins, spills, etc. 2) How do you handle the names of Japanese games? The ASCII set goes above character 127, but gladly only is still one byte, but ...

The Z80 is a difficult processor. But so many people have already written emulators for it. I say it's difficult because it tries to do a lot: refresh dram, access ports outside of the normal address range, handle 3 different interrupt modes, have a set of swappable shadow registers, and complicated...

Let's say the core is written, I have the memory map (How do I get about doing the memory map?), ppu (this will be just a set of functions and calls, right?), i/o etc done also. Then I load the rom, Starts with PC=0, and just execute the functions according to the PC? Another thing, what system wou...

ugh, and what if you want to play SA-1 games? what advantage is there in completely breaking off the pin?

You need a new battery.
But besides that, your connector inside your SNES could be dirty. All it takes is one errant write to the wrong address, and then the checksum doesn't match up anymore, and POOF, the next time the system is turned on, the game's code "re-initializes" the RAM.

True. We're always attempting to fill in the gaps between levels we already know or are exposed to and expanding from there. Furthermore, the 'bottom' certainly varies. Where is the bottom? The component level? The substrate level? The electron level? The atomic level? God? Aliens? Ones and Zeroes,...

Knowledge of CPU assembly language would come more naturally if you had a foundation of Digital Logic. Simple stuff like AND, NOT, and OR. Combinations leading into Half and Full Adders, data selectors, etc. Looking at sequential logic, like Flip-Flops, that can remember things that happened previou...

sorry, but if all somebody wants with better color reproduction is to be able to put red text on orange, or freely mix pink with yellow, that person is still a horrible artist. Another random musing: What if a monitor reviewer is colorblind (di-chromatic) and sees horrid combinations because the wav...

dunno. bought one for my brother a while ago. no complaints. no reason not to get it. It doesn't have that tru-glare coating on it. 3 year warranty, it isn't that heavy to ship back if needed. I'm sure it's a 6-bit + dither panel, but what do you expect for that price? even $250 panels still are lik...

somebody else is using the same wireless frequency.

tried power cycling the router and internet connection modem? do that first.

Also: tactile feedback? Hello? Powerglove 2? Hello? The company that produced the stretch-sensors, Spectra Symbol, has seen a bit more interest lately in the hobbyist realm. maybe the horrible hollywood weirdness that surrounded virtual reality has finally been forgotten by the masses. I wouldn't m...
