Coding : second VIA65c22, bits definition.
Telestrat and Twilighte card have a second via (6522). It used to manage joysticks and banks PA0 to PA2 : Bank switching (the ID of the bank, 0 means that it’s overlay ram). PA7 & PA5 : second and third button of the joystick port
Coding : malloc & free
Malloc & free are available for kernel commands only (for instance). You must include orix macro header and call MALLOC macro : MALLOC(size) #include "src/include/macro.h" ; Declare ZP (there is 4 16 bits ZP adress, in the future, this 4 adress in ZP will be save when multitasking will be available) #define MALLOC_PTR1 ZP_APP_PTR1 #define Read more about Coding : malloc & free[…]
Coding : switch to ram overlay or bank
If your program must work with Orix You don’t need to switch to overlay ram. Because Orix use it (a little) mainly for keyboard buffers and rs232 buffers (14KB are free). If you need more ram, you can use malloc. Be careful because malloc in cc65 manages his own malloc “segment”. In assembly, malloc use Read more about Coding : switch to ram overlay or bank[…]
Coding : Get started
This page describe how you can have Orix and his hardware. And how to start in the quickest way ! ===== I need all stuffs required to have Orix working on my setup : I don’t have time or skills===== * Contact me : jede[at]oric[dot]org ===== I have a telestrat ===== ==== hardware required Read more about Coding : Get started[…]
cc65 : install & code
Install cc65 compiler Download cc65 : https://github.com/cc65/ Compile your code Use telestrat target : $cl65 -ttelestrat main.c
Features : Joysticks and mouse
You can plug normal joystick in joysticks port on Twilighte card. There is two joysticks ports. It can handle only one button. You can also add a TOM2 device in order to plug a USB joypad or a USB mouse. You can found tom2 on ebay. There is no games working on it. But Read more about Features : Joysticks and mouse[…]
kernel : malloc, free & lsmem
malloc & free Malloc & free are available in the kernel. For instance telestrat cc65 target uses its internal malloc function. Anyway, it’s possible to use malloc & free in assembly with kernel primitive. When the malloc is done, it returns a pointer (or null if it’s not possible to do the malloc). When the Read more about kernel : malloc, free & lsmem[…]
cc65 : new functions cget, chline, unlink
cputc(unsigned char) This function is in conio.h. It puts a char at the current location. chline (unsigned char number) This function is in conio.h. It displays number of ‘-‘. It’s used to draw a line for example. unlink(char *file) This function remove a file
