Hi!
I'm looking for any documentation and programming examples in particular.
No fancy morphing 3-D stuff needed.
I just wish to know, for instance, how simple VRAM commands like (COPY and stuff) work.

There are quite some examples on the disk that comes/came with the GFX9000. Isn't it online somewhere?

Nope, I've never been able to find an image of any of the GFX9K companion disks. Mine broke long time ago, in fact half of the disks arrived to me faulty 
In the Sunrise's download page there're some LZH archives; but although I've tried to rebuild the disks I'm not totally sure of what's going on, most of the BASIC programs I try don't work. |

I've got the disk image here... not sure about the license of this stuff... Maybe Sunrise knows? If he agrees we could e.g. put it on MRC.

COPY, BLOAD, LINE, SET PAGE etc. works like in normal MSX2 BASIC there are just more videopages available. There are some differences in MSX1 screenmodes. Check out MSX-FAQ: http://www.faq.msxnet.org/gfx9000.html
There was also some other BASIC implementation, that had custom commands for GFX9000, but I don't remember the name anymore.
Anyone?

That would be a GREAT idea!. Some time ago, soon after receive my unit I emailed Sunrise about the faulty disks set; but never received an answer... .
Oh, and the supplied RGB cable was faulty too, the red line seems that it's partially loose and sometimes I lost the red channel....bad luck all in all

Done, I've resent them my old email to sunhisan(A-T)euronet(D-O-T)nl. I've also asked about the copyright of the images and if they can be uploaded to MRC. Let's see...

Just got mail from rob, he lost some data/mail because his computer broke down. I sent him a mail tonight and he replied within hours. After that even quicker. So, try to send a mail again!

Yep, I've also received today a mail from Rob. He told me that the software can be downloaded from his site; but I've checked it and there's still the same LZH files, no disk images. I'm afraid that he didn't understand me; but no problem I'll try to keep the communication already established... |
