Vantage Question
« on: December 01, 2004, 01:32:49 am »
I seen alot of work got done on Vantage in the past year, but is work still being done on it? I haven't seen any recent posts.
I never thought I'd own an arcade machine. Now I have 4!!!

It's always on our minds to do so, but other projects always get in the way.

Of course, ANYONE is welcome to pick up the source and put a new game into it.  A new CPU instruction set (like the 6502) would be a major bonus.  Oh, mouse support too.  Trade the .pcx for .png support would be awesome.   ;D

I added in png support for Vantage using the libpng source with my last code update. It had a glitch reading from the screen bitmap that caused image doubling though. I haven't had too much time to look at it. If someone else could fix the interleaved memory read function, it would be done.

I submitted my code, along with the driver for rescue a while back. It should be with the rest of the Vantage code.
