Hello Crank79 Maxim, please post all your archives somewhere! :) Preferably quickly :)

From Crank79 To All 17 February 2007

Hello Vinny I join the request. Most likely it will be improved in the future several people. It is necessary that the sources of new versions be merged into one place, this will contribute to the normal development of the emulator. I suggest to those responsible make Vinny, he will have to demand from the emulator developers modified sources and post them on the website Amiga.org.ru, where it will be archive of source codes of different versions. CBSpeccy definitely needs to be improved - AY,68060,winUAE,RAM512-1024, save/load sna 512-1024, GS 512, turbo-sound Also, my emulator often froze at 68030 when starting, if for example select TRD and press START very quickly. A glitch was identified, I even wrote a small program, if you run it from TR-DOS and press any key then the Amiga freezes: v2_jawdr:

Hello, max_iwamoto Max, can you post some other sources? :v2_rolley

From Max Iwamoto To All 17 February 2007

Hello Crank79 Cra> Max, can you post some other sources? :v2_rolley 1. Please change the theme for Dizzy 8 by Code Busters. Ya ne odin ego pisal, a wmeste s RST7. 2. U menya poryadks 300 diskow s zx-spectrum, okolo 100 ishodnikow. stroke, Satisfaction, EyeAche1,2,3, etc... 3. Ya hochu ih prosmatriwat' i postepenno wykladywat'. Do you agree? chyo luche edto delat' centralizowano. 4. Predlagau nachat's CBSpeccy sources. Where will I upload? I who will be otwetswennym proekta. Tak ka mne ne hochetsya uwidet' 10 klonow CBspeccy, a hochetsya uwidet' dorabotannuu versiu.

Hello, goodboy goo> in my opinion it’s time to create a topic dedicated to Maxim in the People section goo> goo> it seems to me that this is unnecessary. goo> goo> otherwise there will be questions in each topic. thank God that, unlike goo> some "legends" of the zx scene he has the time (and the desire to respond) to goo> answers goo> goo> We try to the best of our ability... goo> goo> by the way about the pseudonym: there were rumors that Max started breaking toys goo> on MSX, or rather they were already broken by a certain Isa Iwamoto, and Max - was substituted goo> is this another nonsense ??? a little wrong. My main idea on MSX (and on Spectrum) was to make eternal life and complete the game to see the final animation or Congratulations. Since some of the best games were Konami games, they picked. And since Konami was originally a Japanese company, the authors there was, not surprisingly, Japanese. So that's what I mean. I somehow beat the game 火の鳥鳳凰編 / HINOTORI (direct reading from Japanese) FIREBIRD (translation)(http://www.generation-msx.nl/msxdb/softwareinfo/1002) and there was a dude in the credits (just checked (for the first time since 1990) the cartridge image (now I have original!) with FIREBIRD and was very surprised, because in Satisfaction we made it mine brother ISU IWAMOTO (since they didn’t remember exactly or remembered incorrectly), that they didn’t corresponds to reality) SHU IWAMOTO, which I renamed to MAX IWAMOTO, because his name was 3 letters long.

Hello, psndcj psn> By the way, Dizzy walks backwards =) psn> IMHO, by modern standards, not very good - although in the 90s I would have even been psn> I would buy a game with graphics like this!!! psn> for those who want to take a look and are too lazy to tinker with the sources - download psn> snapshot... Dizzy should walk normally, maybe this is an earlier version, I don't remember, I'll look. You also need to remember that the game worked on a regular Spectrum and Pentagon, so the scrollable space is not full screen. Graphics, which on the screen is nothing more than one of the Amiga bitplanes. Main background Dizzy 8 on the Amiga had 16 colors or 4 bitplanes. What you see on the screen is not more than the most successful of them for debugging the engine (the other three are also must be on disk). It would have been finished to a more normal state (the RGB editor is present and works there, I even tried to draw and it worked) and colored attributes were planned on top, but the speed was real Spectrum, not Pentagon, there wasn’t enough color. On the same disk there should be converter of maps and graphics from the Amiga (although maybe it was on the Amiga? - it is necessary look). After all these experiments we came to the conclusion that we are not satisfied with the result and the work stalled, because there was a large numberother projects, many of which were released on the Amiga and Spectrum.

Hello Crank79 Cra> Max, can you post some other sources? :v2_rolley Max, maybe you can give me the source of the Amiga Spectrum emulsion? and I'll post it. vinnny#aport.ru

Hello, max_iwamoto max> okolo 100 ishodnikow. Insult, Satisfaction, EyeAche1,2,3, I think Bugsy will welcome source codes for projects on Speccy with open arms! Well, as for the software - I can upload it to Virtual TR-DOS

Even you yourself can be an admin. or anyone else to add. we need to look for people now...

From Alexey Maltsev To All 19 February 2007

Hello Striker Maxim Mikhailovich! I'm so glad! Because of you, Maxim Mikhailovich, I didn’t spend nights as a child slept. Satisfaction screwed everything up. Ras somehow used magic to reset the music with the fonts pulled, so it was 2 nights. Relatives are all asleep, but there is no one to brag about... They can barely breathe I couldn't. Eh, naive childhood... I never grew wiser... p.s. uhh....

From Sergey Moskalev To All 20 February 2007

Hello, max_iwamoto max> Enjoy! max> max> Max Warm greetings from the glorious city of Samara! H.z. When will such an opportunity arise again, so I’ll ask now: I have an A1200 with Apollo 060, version CBSpeccy 0.25b. The emulator hangs immediately if there are standard ROMs, but if you install others firmware BASIC-128 (NeOS, Gluk), then everything works fine. I'd like to know where to dig. Does the posted version work on 060?

You need to dig in the place where the ROM is patched.

From Andrey Alexandrovich Titov To All 21 February 2007

Hello, max_iwamoto Back in the day I dug into CBSpeccy. Made very optimally - uses MMU, and is not system friendly (0th page addresses are used to speed up memory access). In addition, they messed up the cache, which is why command emulation patterns are loaded into the same place, overloading each other, reducing the performance of the emulator in in general. :v2_blush:
