Re: 32768 color dual Shifter ST mod - schematics lost?
If anyone wants to see more colours on the HDMI mod, we can easily bump it up to 8bpp (which is the native HDMI colour depth).

Re: 32768 color dual Shifter ST mod - schematics lost?
Forgive me, as I'm not a HW guy, but wouldn't what you just explained then create a physical 18-bit palette? Yes. If it wasn't for the fact that the palette writes are only 16 bits wide they could have made the mod support 18-bit colour. Actually they could have gone up to 5-6-5 format with no extr...

Re: Project: HDMI/DVI out for STFM
Wait, what? I don't understand? So any accelerated Atari fails with the HDMI mod? So it's useless with anyone with an AdSpeed, Turboxx board, Pak 68/3, etc installed? ...sorry, my bad, Let me rephrase that: nobody's ever got the HDMI mod to work at double speed on a 16-MHz machine. If the mod ran a...

Re: 32768 color dual Shifter ST mod - schematics lost?
I have an incomplete understanding also, but my interpretation of how it would have worked is that during writes to the palette registers, the second shifter would receive the data bus lines transposed like this: D14 -> D8 (red bit 5 -> shifter 2's red bit 1) D13 -> D4 (green bit 5 -> shifter 2's gr...

Re: Project: HDMI/DVI out for STFM
Once we get the board working 100% we can possibly look at additions such as the STE palette ... The STE palette has always been supported actually. Also, it's a bit of a technicality but there's a 256-colour mode as well, but the pixel clock is halved. So it's practically useless since nobody's ev...

Re: TOS 1.4 disassembly project
from addr_34fc on, there are lots of ".short" statements, but that is just normal code, no data. Lots of your routines from the BIOS don't even have proper names yet. That's just how far I've gone so far, as I mentioned only 13% of the ROM is disassembled. Re: the desktop, it's less inter...

Re: TOS 1.4 disassembly project
I think you are aware of the source i reconstructed for TOS 2.x? After i finished it, i also started on doing the same for TOS 1.04, and you can already find some work on it in that archive. However, it is far from being finished. I wasn't aware of it, I haven't really been in the loop on that sort...

TOS 1.4 disassembly project
Heyo, I just thought I'd post a topic about my TOS 1.4 disassembly repo. I've only got a tiny bit of it disassembled so far (13%), and it's completely useless to everyone. But it exists, so there might as well be a record of it. As a matter of fact even if it was complete, it'd still probably be use...
Re: ST Action
Awesome, I loved ST Action! I have very little of my original ST stuff from back in the day, but I have managed to hold on to two ST Action issues. In Australia there were very few BBSes that catered to the ST, so British coverdisk mags were my only real source of games/programs and info. staction.p...
