Release id #72550 : Edge of Disgrace
So looking at the .d64 sizes it looks like they are normal 35-track disks, so the rumors of 40-tracks were unfounded? |

? I never saw the "grey dot bug" fading away, it shows all the time at my place :).
I don't think there is any such stuff in Tsunami, but possibly in Cycle..

I once used a C128 where the grey dot was "fading away". I had the impression it had to do with the temperature, not sure though. The C64 I am using at the moment displays it all the time. |

a gray (sub)pixel exposed at the same position for a longer period of time may flicker,sometimes disappears completely. this behaviour varies between all the c64c`s i have. its possible that temperature has an influence,one of my machines occasionally shows solid pixels but they start to flash after an hour or so |

Interresting.. with the fading stuff...
I have a few where the bug is either present or not, between each power cycle and some where it is always present. Reset has no effect, but a power cycle will either enable or disable the bug.
Can't remember if I ever figured out if that particular behaviour was VIC or board related, though.

Was exactly the same for the c64c that I had. VSP would also crash the c64 mainly but after a few power cycles, it would be alright |

Sorry for what may be a noob question, but how do you combine multispeed music with fullscreen cycle-exact effects? Doesn't the music routine have to be called several times in one frame? |

Typically you buffer the sid writes then you write them to the SID-registers in a controlled manner within your timed cycle-based effects. F.e. the first half of The Wild Bunch uses a 4x-tune. The player is run four times in a row outside the effect area pushing all SID-writes to the stack. Then in the raster code they're pulled back and stored into their appropriate SID-registers. Care has to be taken so that you don't write to the SID-registers in the wrong order aswell. Hope this answers your question. |
