- Hi!
-
- In addition to the infos that were posted last week from the c65 manual, here
- are some _REAL_ infos, tested on my c65 . ROM version was 0.09.910111.
-
- Ok.
-
- For displaying graphics the following commands are necessary:
-
- screen def screen#,width,heigth,depth - define screen# and resolution..
- screen open screen# - allocate memory for screen#... screen set
- drawscreen#,viewscreen# (normally the same..)
- - display screen...
-
- ... now all normal (basic 3.5/7.0) drawing cmds are allowed,
- line, etc. etc.
-
- screen close screen# - give memory free, and display text screen...
-
- If, because of RESTORE-NMI, the text screen reappears without screen close,
- all commands normally fail, because of lost memory.
-
- Possible Resolutions are:
-
- Resolution screen def Memory allocated 1280*400*1 2 1 1 - ok
- 64k 1280*200*1 2 0 1 - ok 32k 1280*200*2 2 0 2 - ok 64k
- 640*400*1 1 1 1 - ok 32k 640*400*2 1 1 2 - ok 64k
- 640*200*1 1 0 1 - ok 16k 640*200*2 1 0 2 - ok 32k
- 640*200*4 1 0 4 - ok 64k 320*400*1 0 1 1 - ok 16k
- 320*400*2 0 1 2 - ok 32k 320*400*4 0 1 4 - failed 64k
- 320*200*1 0 0 1 - ok 8k 320*200*2 0 0 2 - failed 16k
- 320*200*4 0 0 4 X failed 32k 320*200*8 0 0 8 X failed 64k
-
-
- - failed means display ok, but screen clr palette# crashes system - RESET X
- failed means screen set crashes with blank screen - RESET
-
- I don`t know, why the last three modes crash, they need the same amount of
- memory as the others, 320*200*2 needs only 16k, but crashes... Any ideas??????
-
- Also I don't know where the memory is allocated, a print fre during HiRes
- brings the same as without....
-
- I think the 128k Modes (320*400*8) will only available with RAM Expansion. Any
- suggestion, for this expansion????
-
- The MOUSE command mentioned in the last weeks c65 article, is not available in
- 0.09.91011, also RMOUSE. GRAPHIC command# [,args] brings sytax error.
-
- The screen modes use the color palette PALETTE screen#,color#,R(0-15),G(0-
- 15),B(0-15)
-
- Changing the palette when displaying a screen crashes the system...
-
- I don`t know how the 1-7 bitplane graphics point to their palette color, just
- because i have only a green monitor.
-
- Ok, thats enough for now. Any comments, hints etc. please directly to me, i
- will post corrections/additions....
-
- Oh, and Im still curious about all the ROM versions out there. Until now i
- have mine (0.09.910111) and ralpheys (something like 0.0b.910429). Are other
- versions?? Im still looking for version 0.0b.910429 on disk, ralphey owns no
- eprommer, so he cannot get the image...??? Any hints???

- Can you give us the RAM expansion (bellyboard 30-position connector) and main
- expansion (50-position) connector pinouts from your C65 manual?
-
- BTW, have arrangements been made for anyone in the U.S. yet to recieve a copy
- of that manual, and make it available to others?

- PAL works fine on my Maganvox PRO monitor. Whether or not there would be any
- difference with a PAL monitor I don't know. We have several C-65s in our club
- and all use the Mag PRO monitor.

- Hi guyz, I saw your messages on the c65! Lotz of traffic here!! There are a
- few prg'z about to go on a TPUG c65 disk. [c65 disk, meanz meanz native c65
- mode]
-
- To answer the last question about the RAM port in the belly of the c65, there
- is no easy way to add some in. Fred tells me there is a fair bit more to it!
- ..a clock wuz planned, etc.
-
- I had asked about hooking in SIMMz easily? ..noT!
