what i don’t know is if this source code from Mess emulator might help as documentation for how we access display and sound on Marty from FreeBasic: http://mamedev.org/source/src/mess/driv ... wns.c.html

i think that they are actually semi-compatible, so in theory, what i make for dos would certainly work on Marty (perhaps with some small changes) - what i think i don’t know (i didn't try anything yet) is how to access the i/o ports of Marty for those extra screen modes (with scroll and physical spr...

recently i got curious about coding games for cd-based old game consoles like FM-Towns Marty - and since this game console is a i386, i guess we can make something using Freebasic? if so, how can we make use effectively of its unique graphics and sound capabilities on FreeBasic? and how can we creat...

That was a newbie question! :) - I were attempting to do something on FreeBasic since years ago, but only now i can start to feel minimally able to humbly code something on it. I imagine there are some tips to make most or some of the sources focused on Linux/w32 being compilable on DOS somehow, but...

you know, by habit, ethics, and respect for the people wasted time posting that, i like to ressurect old posts, when the topic is interesting! :) and thanks! :)

Recompiled this for Windows. It worked like a charm! :) Anyway, I like the retro look of the screen, but I'm not sure if the gameplay is rewarding at all. Seems very dated to me. It's only a test of patience, really, and at one point barrels stopped to appear and there was no way I could win. yes, ...

I uploaded now a game to http://games.freebasic.net - soon i hope it will appear there The downloadable file is at http://nitrofurano.altervista.org/freebasic/lawnmower_v20120621191040.zip It were based on a type-in game for zx-spectrum made 30 years ago. It was compiled and tested on DosBox I used ...

someone know what is happening? thanks! Didn't test your code, but maybe you just re-discovered this old BUG ? http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=GfxLib http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=KeyPgPalette it seems to be, thanks, btw i tried your assembly code in this example below...

Another question: are people, here or around, coding stuff on FreeBasic/DOS for projects like Fuzoma? http://superkeen.com/peacecorpsweblog/learning-software/comment-page-1/ - maybe this kind of project is a really interesting for helping the popularity and the increase of source available of FreeBa...

some more info about, from the original webpage from Fractint, i think - http://www.nahee.com/spanky/www/fractin ... deo_anchor

btw, here is a list of resolutions supported by Fractint 20.04.9 - sorry being as a picture only - there are some working very fine on DosBox (and i bet that they work fine on real "old" machines as well), and i really wished to have them available from FreeBasic/DOS (400x600, 320x400, etc...

still with problems... maybe what is causing this is the compiled code is too fast for dosbox emulation? - this is weird because i tried even adding 'screensync' command in the code, into that loop... http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg809/scaled.php?server=809&filename=5scr13fbdbstillwithprob.png...

would be great if there is some kind of code forcing to 8088! :) would be really awesome! :) No way: FreeBasic emits 32 bit assembly, so a 32 bit processor is required (and an 8088 is a 16 bit processor) but i think there is a catch... - that's why i pointed this situation - someone (or some kind o...

this tweak16b tool looks really awesome - sad is i'm not able enough to convert those code into freebasic code or inline asm there - thanks! :)

maybe we found a bug on the Freebasic (or at least the DOS version of it)
