(that's why i ask.. i know the 58 can scroll vertical and horizontal..) And nopez.. the borders were not breaking away.. It's a trick.. I thought the vdp(24) is disabled if you use it.. Maybe it flips the screen 90 degrees.. (or some thing..) d-fader, HeXx --- Get free personalized email at http://www.iname.com MSX Mailinglist.

Re: msx2 horizontal scrolling..
Why should it be a trick?! Using the VDP-register 18 you can scroll horizontally, but only a few pixels, it is the registers which in BASIC can be controlled with VDP(19) Maybe more familiar, the SET ADJUST-command uses it... And the reason the border isn't flickering, well, I guess they put some black sprites there, so no one sees the copying.. It is just a matter of copy and scroll... Anne p.s. And yes, of course, vertically is so much easier.Not to speak of the V9958 MSX Mailinglist.

Re: IDE Interface

Nyyrikki made an FDD emulator that works at least on Novaxis. I don't know about IDE, check his page. 2o. Anyone here know how I can expand a memory of Turbo R ST ?? The place for the RAM ICs is easy to find (front-right of the print, next to the existing RAMs). But I don't know if you have to do something besides soldering extra RAM ICs in those spaces. 3o. In the MSX faq I read that is possible do a overclock in Turbo R changing the cristal, it's possible ?? and anyone here make it ?? It's possible, I've seen it running. But there are drawbacks. First, overclocking is always risky. Yeah, lots of people say "I clocked my Pentium to xxx MHz and it runs fine". But few people can say "My Pentium has been running overclocked for three years and I never had problems". Specific problem of a turbo R running with a 40MHz crystal is that the VDP cannot keep up with the rate data is sent to it. This is especially visible in SCREEN0, WIDTH80, where random letters will appear on the screen when it scrolls. Bye, Maarten MSX Mailinglist.

Re: msx2 horizontal scrolling..
At 07:43 PM 05/07/99 -0400, you wrote: 'bout a week ago, HeXx and I (d-fader) watched a lil demo HeXx and Michel Onstein made 'bout a century ago.. Tha' demo scrolled the screen horizontal!! (just like vdp(24), but then horizontal..) I think I know the trick. Assuming it's an MSX2 demo, because horizontal scrolling on a 2+ doesn't even require a trick, just the right register number. Using the same VDP register used for SET ADJUST (vdp(19)???), you can move the screen 16 pixels horizontally. This is not like vdp(24), because the screen doesn't wrap around, only the border widths change. So you can see the edge of the screen moving. But the middle of the screen is scrolling OK. Part 2 is that while you take several interrupts to scroll those 16 pixels, you copy the entire screen to another VRAM page, 16 pixels shifted. So that once the SET ADJUST scrolling has reached its limits, you can do a page switch and start all over again. Part 3 is to make the screen edge appear to be stable. If you skip this, you get the effect of Space Manbow running on MSX2. One way is to make solid black sprites and use them to cover pixels in the border that shouldn't be visible. Another way is to make the VDP update the outer lines using a command. For example, draw a black box (1 pixel wide) on the left edge of the screen and copy a strip of GFX (1 pixel wide) on the right edge of the screen. This requires proper timing, otherwise the outer lines will flash. The intro of Almost Real (skyline scroll) uses this trick (and some others). Bye, Maarten MSX Mailinglist.
