Hey, all. Just thought I'd share a small success. With some help from Joe Z, I've begun implementing IVoice in Nostalgia. It's at the point where it ...

All, I've just tried the IntyOS demo running under the Bliss applet on my new laptop. While it does not really crash, it's very, very slow. More precisely: it...

Arnauld, just tested it an it runs fine. I was able to open up every tool and play the Stonix music. The music is choppy but plays at the right speed. I also...

I'm having some trouble with this game on Nostalgia. Has anyone tried it on other emulators or with the Intellicart? -JoeFish ... From: "Manuel Rotschkar"...

... I've to admit I was too lazy to test it with the Intellicart. But it's working fine on jzIntv and Kinty. What kind of problems do you have? Make sure...
... Yup, I just tried it and I can verify that it works fine here under Linux. (I haven't fired up the laptop yet, though I should.) Once I get the laptop up...
Arnauld, I just gave it a whirl in Nostalgia, and I noticed a couple things: -- It appears Nostalgia's powerup state for the hardware scroll registers doesn't...
It's very strange. With both the rom and bin versions, I get odd behavior. On the title screen, it appears that the text is shifted down to the right, and the...

Joe, Since the game's mapped to $4800 - $4FFF, it should never even be executing at $7A26. The game crashed before it got to this interrupt handler. --Joe ......

... I think it's RAM initialization, specifically that Nostalgia inits to all 1s, and jzIntv/Kinty both init to all 0s. Arnauld, see if you agree. Here's...

Ryan, Thank you for your feedback. I'll make sure to test the next version on the real thing and different emulators. Maybe it would be worth adding an option...
