<p>Reidrac: </p> <hr /> <div>My Name is Juan J. Martínez, a Spaniard currently based in the UK. I started my career on IT thanks to the 8-bit home computers of the 80s: ZX Spectrum +2A (at home) and CPC 6128 (at school).<br /> <br /> In my free time I like to make games for fun, and at some point in 2014 I decided to go back to my roots and started making games for the ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC (later Commodore 64 and MSX).<br /> <br /> I cross-develop from Linux in a mixture of C and ASM, with custom tooling in Python.<br /> <br /> All my releases are freeware and &amp;copy; '''usebox.net''' (my own digital ''brand'' I guess).<br /> <br /> I may not keep this page updated, so be sure to double check [https://www.usebox.net/ usebox.net].<br /> <br /> == Game Releases in 2020 ==<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/brick-rick/ Brick Rick]<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/kitsunes-curse/ Kitsune's Curse]<br /> <br /> == Game Releases in 2018 ==<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/dawn-of-kernel/ The Dawn of Kernel]<br /> <br /> == Game Releases in 2016 ==<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/magica/ Magica]<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/golden-tail/ Golden Tail]<br /> <br /> == Game Releases in 2015 ==<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/return-of-traxtor-cpc/ The Return of Traxtor] -- [https://github.com/reidrac/the-return-of-traxtor-cpc the source code]<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/space-pest-control/ Space Pest Control]<br /> <br /> == Abandoned ==<br /> * Super Space Pest Control<br /> <br /> == Further information ==<br /> * [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/general-discussion/hello!-10986/msg108374/#msg108374 My introduction in the CPCWiki forum]<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/ My home page]<br /> * [https://www.cpc-power.com//index.php?page=staff&amp;lenom=Juan%20Jose%20MARTINEZ My games in CPC-POWER]</div>

<p>Reidrac: </p> <hr /> <div>== Overview ==<br /> <br /> The main media to distribute software on the CPC were cassettes and 3 inch floppy disks. The Plus models, including the GX4000 console, introduced cartridges.<br /> <br /> As the original media is harder to find (3&quot; discs specially), cartridges are becoming one of the best options to distribute CPC software, for example:<br /> <br /> * [http://www.dandare.es/Proyectos_Dandare/CPC_Dandanator%21_Mini.html Dandanator mini] –page only in Spanish–: is a cartridge format to be plugged in the expansion port that provides a number of generic and advanced features, including support for 512K of ROM (in 16K banks), and it works on any CPC without jumpers or special configuration.<br /> * [https://auamstrad.es/the-dandanator-entertainment-system/ DES]: the Dandanator Entertainment System, which is an interface that goes to the expansion port and supports cartridges. It has the same functionality as the Dandanator, with the difference that the expansion contains most of the functionality, and the cartridges are simpler –and cheaper–.<br /> * [https://abalore.com/plus2cpc.html Plus2CPC]: provides a cheap way to plug CPC Plus cartridges on any CPC and, '''as long as the cartridge doesn’t use any Plus features''', it will work. It also offers 512K of ROM, just like the Dandanator, and uses the regular ROM mapping functions of the CPC.<br /> * [[M4_Board|the M4 board]]: can load CPR files on any CPC.<br /> * [[C4CPC|C4CPC]]: can load CPR files on the GX4000.<br /> <br /> == Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When the CPC boots from cartridge, the code will start executing at address 0x0000 and we have the first 16K bank mapped on that address (lower ROM).<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! Address !! Size !! Type !! Function<br /> |-<br /> | 0x0000 || 16K || ROM || Code<br /> |-<br /> | 0x4000 || 16K || RAM || R/W Data<br /> |-<br /> | 0x8000 || 16K || RAM || R/W Data<br /> |-<br /> | 0xc000 || 16K || RAM/ROM || Video memory/Mapped cart bank<br /> |}<br /> <br /> When a ROM bank is mapped into lower ROM (0x0000) or higher ROM (0xC000), reads will go to ROM and writes will go to RAM and mapped ROM is only seen by the CPU. This is important because the gate array can only see RAM when drawing the screen.<br /> <br /> The idea is mapping on higher ROM any of the banks as we need them, and we can use that data with RAM from 0x4000 to 0xffff, leaving on lower ROM the bank 0 with our code.<br /> <br /> '''Important''': when mapping data on high ROM with video RAM on 0xc000 you won't be able to draw masked sprites directly from that mapped ROM (reading video RAM is required to apply the mask). Either don't use 0xc000 for video memory or make a copy of those sprites to RAM from 0x4000 to 0xbfff and draw them from there.<br /> <br /> However the RAM mode 0x7fc3 allows you to move the video RAM from 0xc000 to 0x4000, which allows it to be accessed directly from the upper ROM.<br /> <br /> It is '''easy to support both CPC+ and Dandanator from a single code base''' using macros and generating both CPR and Dandanator ROMs is trivial. For example, these [https://github.com/reidrac/cpr-tools simple tools to make/dump CPC+ CPR cartridge files] can generate both formats (use RAW and padding flags to get a Dandanator ROM).<br /> <br /> == Dandanator ==<br /> <br /> Init the cart (not needed in CPC+ carts):<br /> ; SDCC syntax<br /> ; the byte pointed by iy will be overwritten<br /> di<br /> ld a, #0x8a<br /> .db 0xfd, 0xfd<br /> ld 0 (iy), a<br /> ei<br /> <br /> Bank switch higher ROM:<br /> ; SDCC syntax<br /> ; defined as __z88dk_fastcall in C - parameter in l<br /> ; the byte pointed by iy will be overwritten<br /> di<br /> ld c, l<br /> .db 0xfd, 0xfd<br /> ld 0 (iy), c<br /> ei<br /> <br /> Unmap higher ROM (have regular RAM in 0xc000):<br /> ; SDCC syntax<br /> ; the byte pointed by iy will be overwritten<br /> di<br /> ld c, #32<br /> .db 0xfd, 0xfd<br /> ld 0 (iy), c<br /> ei<br /> <br /> == CPC+ carts (CPR) ==<br /> <br /> Bank switch higher ROM:<br /> ; SDCC syntax<br /> ; defined as __z88dk_fastcall in C - parameter in l<br /> di<br /> ld a, l<br /> ; cart slots 0 - 31 start at 128<br /> or #128<br /> ld c, a<br /> ld b, #0xdf<br /> out (c),c<br /> ld bc, #0x7f80<br /> out (c),c<br /> ei<br /> <br /> Unmap higher ROM (have regular RAM in 0xc000):<br /> ; SDCC syntax<br /> di<br /> ld bc, #0x7f88<br /> out (c),c<br /> ei<br /> <br /> This is [[Programming:Crt0Cart|an example of CRT0 for SDCC for a CPR]].

This avoids firmware and memory allocated by AMSDOS disc ROM.<br /> This is safe for the purpose of loading and being compatible with the firmware.<br /> After loading, if you disable the firmware, you can re-use the firmware areas as you want, but you need to do everything yourself (scanning keyboard, drawing, sound etc).If you need to use these areas, a common thing to do is to load most into the safe area, some into the screen, and relocate it after loading.<br /> * Programs on cassette and disc have a header that define the load address, length and execution address.<br /> <br /> In Pasmo assembler use the &quot;end&quot; mnemonic to define the label which is the execution address and use &quot;--amsdos&quot; to put an AMSDOS header on it.<br /> <br /> * Basic programs start at &amp;170.<br /> * Firmware uses interrupt mode 1 of the Z80 (interrupts jump to &amp;0038)<br /> * Lowest place you can LOAD a binary file to with BASIC is &amp;389 e.g.:<br /> <br /> openout&quot;d&quot;<br /> memory &lt;address&gt;-1<br /> closeout<br /> load &quot;code&quot;,&lt;address&gt;<br /> call &lt;exec&gt;<br /> <br /> *Screen is normally at &amp;c000-&amp;ffff. (It can be changed using firmware, or using CRTC R12/R13)<br /> *Stack is normally at &amp;c000 and goes down.<br /> *Extra registers (BC', AF', HL', DE' are reserved by the firmware). Avoid if you are using firmware functions.<br /> *Lower rom (containing OS) can be paged into memory between &amp;0000-&amp;3fff.<br /> *Upper rom is selectable, examples are BASIC and AMSDOS. They can be paged into memory between &amp;c000-&amp;ffff.<br /> *From basic, a game is run with:<br /> <br /> RUN&quot;&lt;filename&gt;<br /> <br /> keep it in the safe memory ranges and it'll run from cassette and disc.<br /> *Screen is normally 40 crtc chars wide (CRTC R1=40), 25 crtc chars tall (CRTC R6=25). 8 scan lines per char (R9=7). Firmware functions assume this.<br /> *Screen is bitmapped. You must draw/erase your own sprites and text.<br /> *Firmware refreshes the palette every 50th of a second, so you need to turn off the firmware and use the hardware directly, or set the colours using firmware.<br /> *Firmware can be &quot;turned off&quot;, by disabling lower ROM, redirecting interrupts and not calling firmware functions.<br /> *Screen can be resized the same as the Spectrum.

*[[Programming:Cross Development|Cross Development]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Source code]]<br /> <br /> == General Notes ==<br /> <br /> * Memory range for programs is &amp;0040-&amp;a700. This avoids firmware and memory allocated by AMSDOS disc ROM.<br /> This is safe for the purpose of loading and being compatible with the firmware.<br /> After loading, if you disable the firmware, you can re-use the firmware areas as you want, but you need to do everything yourself (scanning keyboard, drawing, sound etc).If you need to use these areas, a common thing to do is to load most into the safe area, some into the screen, and relocate it after loading.<br /> * Programs on cassette and disc have a header that define the load address, length and execution address.<br /> <br /> In Pasmo assembler use the &quot;end&quot; mnemonic to define the label which is the execution address and use &quot;--amsdos&quot; to put an AMSDOS header on it.<br /> <br /> * Basic programs start at &amp;170.<br /> * Firmware uses interrupt mode 1 of the Z80 (interrupts jump to &amp;0038)<br /> * Lowest place you can LOAD a binary file to with BASIC is &amp;389 e.g.:<br /> <br /> openout&quot;d&quot;<br /> memory &lt;address&gt;-1<br /> closeout<br /> load &quot;code&quot;,&lt;address&gt;<br /> call &lt;exec&gt;<br /> <br /> *Screen is normally at &amp;c000-&amp;ffff. (It can be changed using firmware, or using CRTC R12/R13)<br /> *Stack is normally at &amp;c000 and goes down.<br /> *Extra registers (BC', AF', HL', DE' are reserved by the firmware). Avoid if you are using firmware functions.<br /> *Lower rom (containing OS) can be paged into memory between &amp;0000-&amp;3fff.<br /> *Upper rom is selectable, examples are BASIC and AMSDOS. They can be paged into memory between &amp;c000-&amp;ffff.<br /> *From basic, a game is run with:<br /> <br /> RUN&quot;&lt;filename&gt;<br /> <br /> keep it in the safe memory ranges and it'll run from cassette and disc.<br /> *Screen is normally 40 crtc chars wide (CRTC R1=40), 25 crtc chars tall (CRTC R6=25). 8 scan lines per char (R9=7). Firmware functions assume this.<br /> *Screen is bitmapped. You must draw/erase your own sprites and text.<br /> *Firmware refreshes the palette every 50th of a second, so you need to turn off the firmware and use the hardware directly, or set the colours using firmware.<br /> *Firmware can be &quot;turned off&quot;, by disabling lower ROM, redirecting interrupts and not calling firmware functions.<br /> *Screen can be resized the same as the Spectrum. Provided you do not use hardware scrolling, this gives you extra space although because of the layout of the screen, it's not continuous, it's in 8 seperate blocks, but it's enough to store data and code.</div>

I started my career on IT thanks to the 8-bit home computers of the 80s: ZX Spectrum +2A (at home) and CPC 6128 (at school).<br /> <br /> In my free time I like to make games for fun, and at some point in 2014 I decided to go back to my roots and started making games for the ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC.<br /> <br /> I cross-develop from Linux in a mixture of C and ASM, with custom tooling in Python.<br /> <br /> All my releases are freeware and &amp;copy; '''usebox.net''' (my own digital ''brand'' I guess).<br /> <br /> I may not keep this page updated, so be sure to double check [https://www.usebox.net/ usebox.net].<br /> <br /> == WIP ==<br /> * Super Space Pest Control (stalled)<br /> <br /> == Game Releases in 2016 ==<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/magica/ Magica]<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/golden-tail/ Golden Tail]<br /> <br /> == Game Releases in 2015 ==<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/return-of-traxtor-cpc/ The Return of Traxtor]<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/space-pest-control/ Space Pest Control]<br /> <br /> == Further information ==<br /> * [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/general-discussion/hello!-10986/msg108374/#msg108374 My introduction in the CPCWiki forum]<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/ My home page]<br /> * [http://cpc-power.com/index.php?page=staff&amp;lenom=Juan%20J.%20MARTINEZ My games in CPC-POWER]</div>

<p>Reidrac: some info about me</p> <hr /> <div>Spaniard currently based in the UK, started my career in IT thanks to the 8-bit home computers of the 80s: ZX Spectrum +2A (at home) and CPC 6128 (at school).<br /> <br /> In my free time I like to make games for fun, and at some point in 2014 I decided to go back to my roots and started making games for the ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC.<br /> <br /> Further information:<br /> * [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/general-discussion/hello!-10986/msg108374/#msg108374 My introduction in the CPCWiki forum].<br /> * [https://www.usebox.net/jjm/ My home page].</div>
