] Hmmm... well, then adapt your mouseroutine for R800 use (if R800 is enabled,
] wait a little longer).
I'm not going to hack pre-MSX turbo R program's from other people that don't
run on my MSX turbo R, just because those people used non-standard
programming practices in stead of following the MSX standard!
The mouse protocol is NOT officially documented. Hence, if you want to read
the mouse in such a manner that it works on ALL old, current and future
generation MSX machines, then you should use the BIOS.
] I was talking about using a BIOS routine on the interrupt, which is a crime.
I don't agree. Making incompatible programs is a crime. Making compatible
programs is not a crime. Even if making compatible programs does cost a
little bit performance. In the end, the overhead of calling one single BIOS
routine on the interrupt is not that large.
Kind regards,
