RE: AVG emulator?

Hey Neil

Great start. Looks like I found a bug J

I loaded up cross and chopped it down to try it out.

VCTR -500, 500, 7 should draw to the top right of the screen I think, but
it draws to top right. Looks like the X invert is on.

What did you write this in? I would love to be able to drop a hex text file
into the vector data loader. I have some things I have been trying with the
fluke and it is all text files of hex code memory dumps.

I am willing to write code to help J

Hi,

I've got a crude and certainly buggy Windows program to do AVG
assembly/disassembly that may help you, but I can't gurantee it will work
properly with Battlezone instructions

Scroll down to 'Tools' and click 'AVG assembler/disassembler' from here:

I've been working on DVG/AVG programs to exercise specific parts of the
vector generator for testing purposes, but only done some Asteroids stuff at
the moment. There's a bit of discussion here if you're interested:

I want to debug a BZ which is losing it part way through the frame.
Self-test passes as does the fluke ram / rom tests.

I have a pair of fluke test programs which draw a square and a cross on
screen. I would like to get a more complex set of tests built up so I can
see if the problem is just object depth related. Problem is the two
programs don't really make much sense J

I can't find all my old notes on the op codes and I am trying to hand
disassemble these two programs to get a handle on the functionality again.
But it is a slow process.

I seem to remember someone building an avg vector emulator at some point in
the past. Or a disassembler. Anyone know what I am talking about or am I
finally going crazy?

Thanks,

David
