Wintermute_BBSI've just released my first #game!!
#TMSnake for CP/M compatible #rc2014 computers with a #tms9918a video module and (optionally) a #AY89XX or #YM2149 sound module. It also optionally supports the #Tynemouth #joystick module.
Here are the latest news regading my #TMSnake #game for #rc2014 and #TMS9918a #graphics.
The video below shows the current state of affairs, and I've just added some limited #sfx to the game - however the recording below did not capture the beepy beeps for some reason.
There is one last tweak I need to add in terms of gameplay but the final release is "coming soon" ™️ 😏

something's cooking ... 🎶 *whistling*
Retro RevdI've doubled down and ordered 5 more from Ali Express, in the vain hope that at least one won't be fake. #TMS9918A
Okay, so I tired this new program for #rc2014 which is called #msx8 and will allow you to run a selection of #MSX #Game #ROMs on your system if you have a #TMS9918A video module and a #AY38910 sound module.
So I fetched the latest sources and built a set of fresh binaries for my system, including the dummy MSX-US.ROM file you need where I adjusted the IO port address of my AY38910 module ($D8).
Now, the initial screen loads but then the system freezes. No sound, not reacting to keypresses.
Anyone got an idea?!
EDIT: I may have found a possible answer here (https://hackaday.io/project/190408/instructions) which states that a Rev. 6 #AY38910 #module is required, which allows for MSX #IO #Ports - Rev. 5 boards (like the one I have) do not support these.
p.s.: I'm running a #RomWBW system here.
