How many bytes could I send approximately in one interrupt by using a serial cable (com port on PC and joystick on MSX)? Don't connect the COM port to anything other than RS232, because the COM port signals are at 12V. You can convert the voltages using some chips and condensators. The

I am looking into PICmicro chips (integrated cpu, some memory and lots of read/write pins) and was thinking of building a `joynet accelarator' with it: it should just buffer all reads and writes until they are used. This way you can increase the speed of a joynet link (or a different type, if

Okay... I've got a question... ehmz. How many bytes could I send approximately in one interrupt by using a serial cable (com port on PC and joystick on MSX)? Just by making a little program on MSX that keeps checking for data... I'm not a hardware guy, but I have an idea, and I just am

Just a question about F1 Spirit

1999-02-10 Thread Werner Kai
Hello MSX people. Some weeks ago I downloaded "F1Spirit.ROM" from an MSX files site I can't remember now. I play ".ROM" files in my real MSX (with Execrom) and also in some Pc's with the emulators. In that ROM, the game shows the word "GEAR". I have another
