#openmsx — Public Fediverse posts

The #OpenMSX #MSX emulator is getting #FujiNet support. I am using it here to develop a Mastodon client using #Z88DK.

Code in GitHub: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-apps/tree/master/mastodon/msx/src

I created a profiler with some lines of Tcl script thanks to OpenMSX new Trace Viewer. It's easy to use and doesn't require the programmer to insert INs and OUTs in his code, so it works with old ROMs too. #openMSX #msx #tcl #debugging #gamedev #profiler #homebrew #8bit #devtools

Work continues on the #FujiNet WiFi adapter for #MSX bring-up. Low level communications are stabilizing,
and the configuration program starts to work. #OpenMSX is being used as the initial emulator.

@janbeta and from an 'enjoying games' perspective emulation can also offer features the real thing can't. I'm all for genuine achievements and non-TAS-speedruns, but sometimes I just want to be able to finally get through a game from my childhood without having to struggle through obstacles that were introduced to pad game time, or lack of easy save options because the hardware/software just didn't offer it.
Being able to use #openMSX's reverse functionality and savestates has made many a game more enjoyable, and the save replay function has meant I've been able to easily share recordings of end demos or hidden things others might not have seen before.

Latest update! #msx #msx2 #arkanoid #gamedev #homebrew #openmsx #msxgl #sdcc #8bit #msxdev https://youtu.be/nAcH5Kt3dBI

The animated "power-up pill" (with an "OR-colour" palette) is made of two sprites. #msx #8bit #msx2 #arkanoid #gamedev #retrogames #openMSX

Brick collision and removal #msx2 #arkanoid #msxgl #gamedev #openmsx #msx #8bit https://youtu.be/1tPeYFQbxUM

Following up on the last improvement, I created some context menus that copy sprite pattern and colours too. Yet another nail to the old debugger coffin, I hope. #openMSX #msx #debugger #gamedev #dev #emu https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1902

Improving breakpoint management in openMSX. #openmsx #debug #msx #gamedev #emulation

Fixing ugly palette widget in OpenMSX. #openMSX #msx #debugging #widget #dearImgui

Basic session management is almost ready. https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1887

Commands: save_breakpoints, save_watchpoints, save_conditions, load_breakpoints, load_watchpoints and load_conditions all available on openMSX console. #openmsx #z80 #debug #msx #gamedev #programming #debugging

I wrote a Tcl script that allows C developers to create C-aware breakpoints on OpenMSX console. You just need to compile your code with -debug to create a file with symbols and their respective addresses. It works just like gdb. More information: https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1854 #msx #gamedev #msx2 #openmsx #debugger

Yet another tool that performs SDCC/OpenMSX integration. https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1837 #openMSX #sdcc #retrodev #msx

Here is an idea that I think is useful: ability to disassemble any Tcl string that you want, not only the stuff from main memory. #openmsx #openmsxDebugger #msx #z80

Along with PR #1709, I guess the basic features of the debugger are close to complete. https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1710 #openMSX #openmsxDebugger #msx #debugger

Another week, another pull request. Thanks go to Giovanni Nunes (plainspooky on github) for the test code that made this PR possible. https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1709 #openMSX #openmsxDebugger #msx #debug #debugger #emulator

My next idea improving OpenMSX is a simple code analyser widget: https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1707
#debug #openmsxDebugger #gamedev #openmsx #msx #emulation

Improved debugging on OpenMSX by allowing programmers to create breakpoints from symbols in the symbol manager. https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1632#event-13444727081 #openMSX #msx #gamedev #openmsxDebugger #debug #emulation

Anche se non posseggo un #msx2 , #pampasandselene merita molto. Sopratutto la versione fisica , che include molte cose inclusa rom digitale del gioco per emulatore msx . Da usare con #openmsx se vi interessa la cosa trovare info al seguente te link: https://unepicfran.com/en/msx_pampas.html #retrogaming #retrocomputing , spero che il core msx2 per #misterfpga venga implementato per far girare anche questo gioco.

Abro hilo 🧵 para contaros una historia personal de nostalgia friki. El programa que tardé ¡40 años! en terminar.

OpenMSX: pull request approved. Now the slots viewer displays more precise information about segments, even if the page points to the same memory banks. For instance, 8kB block size ROMs now display as R2/2 instead of R2, since page size is 16kB. #openMSX #msx #debugger

VGM recording script on OpenMSX now supports the YMF262 (OPL3) soundchip. For the Brazilians out there that own a cheap moonsound knockoff 😅 https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1575/checks #openmsx #opl3 #ymf262 #msx

NABU: O que de novo tem sido feito para ele?

Added a preferences option to preserve breakpoints connected to symbols when symbol file changes. More details here: https://github.com/openMSX/debugger/pull/177 #openmsx #openmsxDebugger #debugger #gamedev #qt

New breakpoint viewer improvement: a more useful breakpoint viewer with symbol names instead of addresses. #openMSX #msx #openmsxDebugger #debugger #gamedev #qt

Hardware accelerated OpenMSX would not run on Wayland because GLEW expects GLX instead of EGL. So I wrote a tiny temporary fix until GLEW is fixed upstream and the major distros catch up. #glew #wayland #openMSX #emu #gnu #hardwareAcceleration #openGL https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/pull/1492
