The attract mode cycles but when it runs the game code the screen goes crazy
and starts throwing LOTS of lines and 'sprites'. I still have some bugs to
iron out of the Z80 code. Alot of the trouble I was having previously was
due to my PROMICE emulator and I thought it was either the code or my Z80
emulator. Gotta love this old equipment. The CCPU code seems to be complete
and working but there IS one sprite with an issue, you can see on the
'slow-you-down' instruction screen with the net and the pylon. Part of the
pylon is drawn over the net. Since that stuff was all hand-assembled I'm
leaving that problem for later. The Z80/CCPU hardware is there 100%, less
color and sound so it's now just a matter of banging away at the Z80 code.

Weird -- I was just cleaning out my bookcases this past weekend and came
across the fanfolded source for Rocket Racer and was going to ask how it was
coming. Looks like you at least got the title screens working. Have you
been able to get the game to run? Last emails I had you were still picking
through some possible typos in the source.

Some progress, but not all the way there yet. It runs along with a Cine CCPU
so it counts as 'Cinematronics stuff'.

I really should get going on this again.

Well Clay, I've moved up in the world and post our stuff to Russian
servers now.
Much faster viral spreading than China.

In terms of vector stuff, has anyone made any progress on their
Cinematronics stuff?

I pulled a Henciak and replied to the list-- that was supposed to go
to Jeff. Sorry... Guess I can't tease Ed for doing that now. ;-)
