BodyHammeR:

MSX 20th Anniversary demo (by Abyss) work fine with OCM-PLD v2.2b (VGA + Z80 at 3,58MHz)
www.webalice.it/gnogni

It does indeed - bar some minor graphical glitches. I think I'll keep this update for Outline!

@HRA!: can you explain me, please why the 'OCM VDP ENGINE' is faster than the original? It's because of some tech
limit?

Contents of genuine VDP are not seen.
ESE-VDP is an emulator by hardware.

A part of processing method is different.
For instance, CPU and VDP access one DRAM chip.
The real thing uses three DRAM chips. (CPUx1,VDPx2)
There is a complex mechanism to conceal this difference.

It is very difficult to make it to the same speed.

It is helpful when there is a means to measure the speed.

@HRA!, Good work!
Do you know what is the behaviuor of OCM if, during a vdp command the cpu writes on port 0x98?
On the real thing no problems occour, the data is transferred as if there is no vdp command active.
If you want to test on OCM i can send a test program (.COM)

Alex Wulms should know about the VDP command engine... as he wrote it
