I got a TRS-80 CoCo II off a friend about a month ago. The RF output was atrocious so I got a composite mod off ebay. Really happy my sketchy solder skills were good enough to get it working. Now I've just got to figure out what to do with this thing.

remember kids, when a pizza place has sizes in inches or centimeters, it's very misleading, because just like monitors they are measuring the diagonal length

The "Pro Fighter X" series of SNES copiers has kinda stupid disk handling code: it doesn't filter out FAT entries on floppy disk that should never be displayed, like the Volume name ("CHRIS"), directories, and long filename chunks. This causes errors during display & loading. So I RE'd and fixed it.

It's displaying the volume name first, "CHRIS" then overlaying invalid entries into the file list. Also tries to load invisible files...

My disk fix code. Done through a bit of searching and trial-and-error, since these BIOSes don't run on emulators, and no SNES emu emulates floppies anyway...

Pro Fighter X file display fixed up! Also with a new tilde glyph added into the font, as well as a new custom SFC background

I've started to extract some screens from side B of that Darwin tape. It's a music program of some sort. And there's a horse race thing too? Idk. Anyway, I'm doing more reverse engineering of this stuff tonight if you want to stop by: www.twitch.tv/zorchenhimer

I was able to extract some screens from that Darwin tape over the weekend. I've also confirmed that i need the Model 1000 firmware to play the tape. It will not run with the SBX-01 firmware.

I got my hands on a rare tape for the StudyBox Model 1000! This tape will not work in the newer model SBX-01 for a few reasons. If I can get a dump of the firmware for the Model 1000, we'll be able to play these tapes.

These are some of the reference pages I used for hand-assembling 6502 machine code programs. I learnt 6502 machine code on the CBM PET in 1979 and needed these sheets to look-up the opcodes for the instructions. I can still remember a lot of them today! Here's a test for you...A9, 4C, 20, EA, 85.

When I worked at Software Creations we used an in-house Editor/Assembler to create our NES games ( PC-ED ). This video shows NES Wolverine ( 1991 ) being assembled. The NES development system was attached to the PC via a parallel link and the object code was deployed to the NES for testing.

Real programmers use simple text editors. And no, that's not what defines them. Quite the opposite. If you start using simple text editor you won't become one. You become one when you realize that generating MBs of text per second is not real programming. It's just API plumbing.
