Reassembler - Emulation & Decompilation: April 2014
http://reassembler.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Reassembler: Touching The Metal . Emulation, Decompilation, Hacking, Old Skool Gaming. Sunday, April 27, 2014. CannonBoard Latest Hardware Design. Colin is continuing to make great progress designing the CannonBoard hardware. Below you can see the latest iteration. You'll note that the Arduino is no-more, and a CPU fully integrated with the design. So to use CannonBall in a cabinet, you'll need a PC, the CannonBoard interface, and a VGA to CGA card. Or video card with soft 15khz. Links to this post.

Reassembler - Emulation & Decompilation: July 2014
http://reassembler.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Reassembler: Touching The Metal . Emulation, Decompilation, Hacking, Old Skool Gaming. Monday, July 14, 2014. One of the problems with CannonBall feature development is that many of the remaining tasks are hard to achieve. Take the music selection screen for example; it's one of the parts of the game that isn't widescreen and remains letterboxed. Now that tiles can be edited, I can also move on to create HUD graphics for the High / Low gear change, a MPH display and so forth. The next version of Cann...

Reassembler - Emulation & Decompilation: May 2014
http://reassembler.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Reassembler: Touching The Metal . Emulation, Decompilation, Hacking, Old Skool Gaming. Thursday, May 01, 2014. Super Mario meets Super Hang-On. This is a fun hack from Adrian Smethurst. As might be expected, it turns out that the audio engines for Super Hang On and OutRun are very similar (both FM synthesis and PCM sample playing). With a lot of patience and some reference to these blog. Which I never expected anyone to find that useful), he managed to replace one of the tunes in Super Hang-On.

fstools - manipulate ADFS filesystems
http://www.6809.org.uk/fstools
Fstools - manipulate ADFS filesystems. Some simple tools to manipulate old filesystems on disk images. At the moment only old-style ADFS (BBC Micro, BBC Master) images are supported. The tools consist of a core binary written in C that can perform some basic operations like put, get, rm and mkdir, then some shell scripts to add interface to that (like recursive copy, parsing of INF files). The scripts use features of the BASH shell. For more complete documentation. Fstools-0.1.tar.gz. Notes for v0.1.

Reassembler: Touching The Metal . Emulation, Decompilation, Hacking, Old Skool Gaming. Monday, December 22, 2014. The Ultimate Way To Play OutRun. Team have ported CannonBall to run on their 401cr motion simulator. It's particularly cool to see the terrain data is used to adjust the height of the simulator! It's fantastic to see CannonBall running on everything from Android phones through to military grade hardware! Check out the video below. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Reassembler - Emulation & Decompilation: Restoration - Boardset
http://reassembler.blogspot.com/2014/11/restoration-boardset.html
Reassembler: Touching The Metal . Emulation, Decompilation, Hacking, Old Skool Gaming. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. I pulled the PCB out of the machine and connected it with my test harness to a CRT TV. After sitting in a garage unused since the 90s it was surely never going to work? Best of luck with this. 20 November 2014 at 00:27. I must admit. Outrun always seems better looking on a crt. 20 November 2014 at 06:59. 20 November 2014 at 07:35. 20 November 2014 at 08:27.

Reassembler - Emulation & Decompilation: Space Harrier Protection Mechanism
http://reassembler.blogspot.com/2015/01/space-harrier-protection-mechanism.html
Reassembler: Touching The Metal . Emulation, Decompilation, Hacking, Old Skool Gaming. Monday, January 05, 2015. Space Harrier Protection Mechanism. Package has been updated with a fix for a protection issue when running the game on Enduro Racer hardware. Sega protected the original game code, to prevent it from running on hardware without the i8751 microcontroller. More details from the UKVAC post. It now turns out that this is not the case and the MCU does further protection on the game code. This ...

Reassembler - Emulation & Decompilation: April 2015
http://reassembler.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Reassembler: Touching The Metal . Emulation, Decompilation, Hacking, Old Skool Gaming. Saturday, April 04, 2015. I'm posting this here for anyone restoring a Hantarex MTC 900E monitor with the PE 07. This input board requires a different set of capacitors to some of the existing cap-kits available on the internet. PE 07 Input Board Capacitors:. Note: some max working voltages have been increased. For example, the original C4 was 16V working. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Reassembler - Emulation & Decompilation: CannonBall 0.3 - Widescreen Tilemaps & Freeplay
http://reassembler.blogspot.com/2014/11/cannonball-03-widescreen-tilemaps.html
Reassembler: Touching The Metal . Emulation, Decompilation, Hacking, Old Skool Gaming. Tuesday, November 11, 2014. CannonBall 0.3 - Widescreen Tilemaps and Freeplay. This is a version of CannonBall. I meant to release a while ago, but moving house and family commitments ended up causing me to sit on it for a while. I suspect there may be some new bugs as there was a gap between coding and release, so please report anything found. Widescreen tilemap support for music selection screen. One benefit of movin...
