Check it, runs perfectly. But I have to do a little trick.My computer has 64 bits architecture and z80asm.exe refuses to work, so i overwrite it from lastest (ver 1.9) binaries.Thanks for your support and reply.

Sorry to revive an old post but I wasn't able to compile all GFXLIB examples for MSX platform with z88dk v1.9I install Z88dk on Windows under c:\z88dk directory following the installation steps. I aslo install make for Win. I edit the makefile and replace "cp" for "copy" and try to compile all examples using -f flag, just as the docs said.First six examples compile ok -tested on bluemsx, runs ok- but when compiling "ex7.c" recive an error : "Error in expresion _MSX_GET_VDP" refering on module msx_clib.lib. Showlib3d.c aslo compiles perfectly.Flags used :"zcc +msx -llib3d -lmalloc -lm -startup=2 ex7.c"Any clues ??... and sorry for reviving an old post.

Is there any method, inline assembly or something, like forLD A, $1OUT ($F0),ALD A,$FEOUT ($F1),Aetc. Thanks for advance !-jp Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:56:29 +0100 http://www.z88dk.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6022#6022 6022@http://www.z88dk.org/forum Topic: Sega SC-3000 Message: I think this is the better place for this kind of news,I just put on the CVS tree the skeleton for the SEGA SC-3000 port !I just tested it with 'adv.a' and seems to be in working order, but now it would be the time of the SEGA gurus !   (anybody?)This is the first time I have to get up to the WAV format before having the opportunity to test the code, but it looks I've been lucky.As a side effect of this effort I 'invented' a new 'TAP' file format, but be warned... it is not known by the emulators nor by other software, it is just an intermediate step I had to do.By the way the 'TAP' file is very straightforward, it just keeps a sequence of the tape 'blocks', no matter if they contain header data or program stuff as it happens for the Spectrum and J.ACE ones.   Obviously the file content and 'sound' output is totally different.The current version could not work correctly on system different than the standard 16K SC-3000 because of possible different memory location.   If in trouble with the SF-7000 it should be possible to use an alternate 'object code' format and to specify a location for the ORG address.. but you have to be a bit more skilled.Well, that's all for now, I'll try soon to link-in some of the libraries alredy prepared for MSX, SEGA &co.
