Hello MSX world,
this is the first time I post in this forum.
I've recently found my old VG8010 lying around in my parent's house: it broke years ago (guess it was 1989 or such) and then it was replaced by a C64. So, yes, it looks like I switched to Commodore because of a burnt TMS9918 and a broken cap in the power supply.
I fixed the pet some days go, now it's working, but... well you know, it broke when I was a child, some pieces got lost and so it's... keyboardless. While fixing I've searched a test cartridge in internet (mainly funet and this site): I've found something but every cart needed a keyboard to be used.
So I decided to write my own test Cartridge and now I want to share it with you.
MSX test cartridge
Beware that:
- it's my very first program in z80: it's totally different from 6502!!
- it's my first program for MSX: VDP and VIC share only the color number. Not talking about memory management...
- It's been tested only on bluemsx and my VG8010
- Source included
Thanks for a great site: it's been easy to find the information I needed.
ADS alert!
And thanks to roadfighter too: I bought the eprom cartridge from him. if you're looking for a cheap solution for development and you happen to own an eprom/eeprom programmer, then go for it: he's a nice guy and he makes great quality pcbs.
