Would be Great to have SGM to play latest games released for this system.

drhelius commented 2 years ago

Yes, I'm planning to add support for it, but I don't have the time now. I will work on it next year.

gig71 commented 2 years ago

Great !!!! Thanks.

Adding in my vote for this feature as well. I am guessing bump posts like mine aren't exactly appreciated, but not sure how to express support otherwise.

drhelius commented 6 months ago

SGM games that use normal cart and MegaCart are working now. Still lacks support for AY-3-8910A sound chip that I will probably implement soon.

I just tested it a bit. The Disassembler bounces around like old Christmas lights.

I haven't programmed for the SGM. I'm wondering how the memory is mapped. Is it the first 32k, replacing the Coleco BIOS when a cartridge is plugged in?

It's slightly confusing because you seem to have both running at one time. Maybe have a toggle switch to choose which one to be mapped in?

This might be the reason why the disassembler is bouncing all over when an SGM cart is used.

There is no need for a SGM toggle as it does not interfere with classic software. You have to explicitly enable RAM expansion, see here.

Can you describe the 'bouncing' issue? I can't see any issue with the debugger. Maybe you are referring to ROM bank switching for MegaCart games? The debugger now shows you in which ROM bank the code is.
