Yes it does
Any idea what is involved in getting it to load archived files?
Core holds up very well! There is no doubt you're doing a great job.danielb wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:52 pm That's weird...
I have also been comparing compatibility with the emulator, and on the whole I think the core holds up pretty well. There are a couple of games that don't work, like Caterpillar and Ridge Cruiser, and I'd really like to understand why.
I did find an Invaders game that will only load under Synmon, which the core doesn't have, and it got me wondering whether the older monitor might be more compatible with some games, like MonUK on the UK101.

EDIT: Ridge Cruiser behaves in exactly the same way on the emulator as it does on the core, when the emulator is set to C2P. It seems to be a C1P exclusive and therefore won't run on the core.
I've tried to load Pacdude in OSI mode but it stops at the title screen (It does the same on WinOSI). If I then, via the OSD, choose UK101 mode it continues to play.danielb wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:52 pm I have also been comparing compatibility with the emulator, and on the whole I think the core holds up pretty well.

I'd like to test Ridgecruiser further but don't have the Modes I'd need. Does it work in OSI mode with SYN600?
Hi, yes I've found the information on how the Synmon ROM is mapped. Like so many things on this computer, you couldn't make it up. So far, I've been able to get the correct prompt, but either it's freezing or the keyboard isn't working. I'm pretty sure it does actually work on WinOSI.

I've given up on it for now until I can find more information on how to make it work.

Here any help?... http://www.technology.niagarac.on.ca/pe ... uperboard/danielb wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 10:35 am Yes, also here: https://osiweb.org/misc/OSI_ROM_routines.txt

Good progress though...
Good work. I wanted to test some software with SYNMON but was unable.danielb wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 5:54 pm I got Synmon600 to run. For the C2 and C4, it's identical to Synmon1, according to: https://www.osiweb.org/software.html.
For some reason, Asteroids runs perfectly under Synmon.
As for Wemon, either it's really buggy, or it is equally badly set up on the core and the emulator. Lots of stuff doesn't work on either of them.
The next release will have both the new monitors. Still some work to do, so it will be a while.

Hi, I am resurrecting this post because I checked this on the WinOSI emulator, and it behaves in exactly the same way as the core.NML32 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 7:54 pm
- I'm not sure if this is a bug. I noticed this after watching a YT video linked below. After you press C then A for Memory Size you should get a message that says "This is the COMPUKIT UK101" On the MiSTer "is is the COMPUKIT UK101" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD844aXw9z8 Around :35
I know. I have a fix for that which I will push tomorrow. Meanwhile, select Cegmon, low-res, and then the monitor that you want.

Getting the menu right is one of the most difficult parts of the whole project. This version actually has a separate monitor menu for each machine type, but only displays one at a time, and lots of conditions for greying out of menu items.
Please let me know if there are any more bugs.

Your earlier post is clearer to me now, as well as comments in other posts.danielb wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 2:50 pm That's how it's supposed to work (or at least, how I intended it to work). MonUK02 and Wemon only work in low resolution. When you select them, low resolution is selected for you automatically and the menu item is greyed out. When you select the other monitors, the resolution menu is reenabled.
In any case, always reset after selecting a new monitor or machine type. The machine is not usable until you do so.

Could you try this version too? The first one was a little overengineered, which resulted in an unnecessarily large core. This one should behave in exactly the same way as the first.
