Gents,
I saw the post using Pascal. Not that I do not like Pascal. Love it and was actually the language I was using back in the days on my old MSX1 from Gradiente (Brazilian). Fast forward 30 years and I have a nice Sony MSX2 and of course OpenMSX running, where I am playing with MSX-C 1.2. So far, so good.
What I cannot find anywhere on the graphics library is a way to load a screen file to the VDP, like it is available with the Pascal libraries. I did find some assembler code that I do believe would work just fine (as thanks to Javi with his relearning MSX, I do know how to use that code from the C program) but before I go down that route, is there something native to the MSX-C libraries to do this?
For now all I want to build is a simple app that will load a background image (by the way, which application do I use to create such SC5 files? LOL) and when certain keys are pressed, certain 'lights' on the background image would light up green or red (to show 'ON' and 'OFF'). It is really a dashboard with these lights so my 6-year old can see it in action and play with it.
Any hints/directions are greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
