Commander X16

I have finally started remaking my old assembly language tutorial (dating back to 2020!) to be up to date with the current hardware and kernal/firmware. It even has real hardware demos now! The first episode is now available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Y9j_QDqp_fM The entire series is on a playlist...

For an individual buying a single item, like a case, won't de minimis exemptions apply? Generally, if you are only buying $800 or less in goods, you don't need to pay any duties. Again, not to be political, but POTUS appears to be trying to invalidate de minimis specifically for China, which may or ...

Now that pre-orders are open, the link on the front page should be changed to point there instead of the sold-out pre-release bundle.

New alpha release ready for test: https://github.com/SlithyMatt/x16-tile- ... ag/v0.0.3a

Please read the release notes to see what has been implemented so far.

Alpha 0.0.2 now available: https://github.com/SlithyMatt/x16-tile-editor/releases/tag/v0.0.2a The big new thing is the ability to edit palettes and select palette offsets for tile visualization. This is still not feature-complete, so please check the release notes to see what should be implemented. ...

It won't be able to create tilesets that are larger than that -- but that is a pretty enormous tileset, so hopefully that's not a pro...

Yep, like I say in the release notes, the maximum size tile set will be saved. In a later release, you'll be able to specify the size of your tileset.

You will get the file error the first time you run it, as TILES.BIN doesn't exist yet. You shouldn't see it past then. As for colors, the tile visualization currently only supports palette offset zero, so selecting color indices over 15 will only work for 256-color tiles. If you select a higher inde...

I am working on a tile/sprite editor that's going to occupy a bank of the X16 ROM in a future release. I just made the first alpha release on GitHub: https://github.com/SlithyMatt/x16-tile-editor/releases/tag/v0.0.1a Please read the release notes to see what features have been implemented, as this i...

I am trying to follow "The Retro Desk" video on the Vera but he goes from zero to flat out in the one video. I would definitely not start with that video! My original "Hello, cc65!" video is a better place to start to just print a string, or starting my tutorial series from the ...
