Working again on some 6502 code.

Today's a very special release.

Our first *hardware* one!

It's a patch for all Mockingboards, allowing you to replace the buggy AY-3-8913s by good AY-3-8910s or even YM2149Fs. 😎

The project is of course free and open:

Huge thanks to JeanFred64!

During the development of Digidream 2, we found some "strange" issues with the AY-3-8913 soundchip.

Currently finding out that the Mockingboard design is shit and most of it is useless

Serial transfer of disk image is what happens when you fry your floppy emulator because of those dumbass connectors

Digidream is a music demo released in 2020 for Apple IIe and IIc with the 1983 Mockingboard sound card.

It replays an Atari ST tune by Jess/OVR featuring a digital drum sound, using two interrupts and almost 100% CPU time.

Check the video capture and download the disk image!

Crazy Cycles is one of the earliest demo by French Touch on Apple IIe, released in 2015.

It shows effects that rely on 6502 code running in sync with the CRT electron beam to change video modes during every scan line.
