Commander X16

Well, the good news is that we have at least a year for the team to sort that matter out. The bad news is that Mr. Murray has two different YouTube channels to manage and produce content for and an arcade to work at during its usual hours, and several of his crew have similar commitments on their re...

But yeah I just fail to see what 16MB will be used for... Amigas and Apple2GS's had only like 512KB-1MB and had full GUI desktops and did video and all sorts of stuff. Well, for a GUI, I keep finding myself recommending ConTiki . It's fully functional, has already been ported to five different 6502...

Consider that the Commodore 64 happened two and a half years after the VIC-20. The 128 happened three years after the 64. The original Apple II likewise was followed up by the II+, IIe/IIc, and IIGS at three year intervals. This upcoming Commander X16 GS, once it happens, will come out four years, a...

Hypothetically, If I were ever get a Phase 1 case and stick into a keyboard console form factor, It would resemble the Apple IIe+/10th Anniversary Edition case, with all supportable function keys, a number pad, enough vertical interior space to accommodate all four expansion slots at full height, an...

Hmm... How hard would it be to go from this to replicating the functionality of the likes of, say, the Super Advantage or the Super NES Mouse? Obviously, the Super Scope 6 and/or the Lethal Enforcers light gun would be bridges too far without a return to variable output monitor tech, but if one can ...

I realize this may be too late in the cycle for this game, but it might be of use if you go on to try to port Flashback or Heart of the Alien , but perhaps there could be a way to selectively implement the FX Triangle Rasterization mode. What I mean is invoking it for areas when/where clipping is no...

Pretty good. Just please remember that VERA has a completely different memory map for the purpose of PEEKs and POKEs, you need to take into account the HIMEM and ROM/Expansion memory tranches, and Commander X16 BASIC includes extra reserved words and syntax for things like Sprite Calls, making new Y...

There are actually at least five different sets of programming tutorials for the Commander X16 on YouTube. The real problem is that, with the exception of someone working with his own hand-built C compiler which doesn't support two parallax tile fields, none of the tutorials was made (or updated) si...

When I get all six numbers and the Power Ball, I plan to somehow bring the Nintendo SA-1 back into production. Yes, it's a surface mounted 100 pin package chip that will in no way fit the Commander X16 CPU DIP socket, and putting it on an expansion card means crowding out something else potentially ...

My biggest problem with the official case design that can be divorced from the motherboard layout itself is that there is no room for full height expansion cards and no true backplane for them either. It's like somehow stuffing an Apple IIe or BBC Master motherboard into the case of a Bandai RX-78-2...
