C1/DTV PAL compatibility

Here's a little something for all you people who are curious about C1 and DTV C64 compatibility:

http://www.ling.gu.se/~pelle/deusex-palbeta-xvid.zip

It's actually running on the DTV development board, but the same core will be compiled for the C1 when it's done. As it's still in beta, a few things aren't working right:

* PAL phase alternation isn't working, so the colours are all wrong.

* Video output is "dirty" causing moving/flickering bands.

* 2-pixel $D016 delay is causing vertical bars to the left and right of the screen.

* An init bug makes the top left sprite black when the basic screen is moved out to the sides. It works if you power cycle before running, so it could be a bug in the demo and not the core.

* My video capture card has issues with $D016 interlace - this is not the core's fault :)

* $3fff should be covering the interference pattern, but doesn't.

* A few minor timing issues still remain, causing flicker in certain

I think you'll agree that C64 compatibility is decent though :)


PS: I didn't have a suitable cable, so I'm afraid there's no sound. I'll try to record some music later.

Jeri fixed the PAL colour generation and the 2-pixel shift bug an hour ago, and $3fff is in the pipeline. The future is looking bright :)

For the people that didn't follow the original release of the DTV, here is a link to a website with links to peoples different hacks (drives, keyboards, etc.), tons of pictures, mini-demos, more...

The future does indeed look bright.

I hope you're keeping the nice soldering points on the board?

Shouldnt you be able to get your hands on just the boards cheap, and put them in a custom-made box with ports already there, and charge extra for those? I'd buy several :)
