I am finding tutorials on 8086 assembly and stuff that are (for once) really descriptive.
I'm trying to learn. I also found a free 8086 compiler.
Since I couldn't figure it out on my own, (i will learn eventually), would you help me put that into a hotkey (ALT-P) TSR of that code? It would be just like my COMPCGA3.EXE program, where the hotkey triggers the writes to the address and the port, but much much much tinier. Or, could you add a hotkey function to run that bit of code from within your existing TSR? It traps for mode switching, but if I'm running something that doesn't get into those modes, 640x200x2, it stays dormant and the hotkey code would flip it into composite mode for stuff that doesn't venture into mode 4 and mode 5.
If not, don't worry.. I did make COMPCGA3.EXE. It's huge like a rhino, but it DOES work. Plus I have the satisfaction of making it.
BTW,.. what do you think of the screenshots of youtube videos? I'm hoping to have the transcoder and viewer done today.
I'm missing some of my good CGA based games. I gotta go digging to see if I still have some more for some more cool screenshots.
Kiyote!
@everyone else.. ~ more screen shots? plz? kthnx..
If it ain't borked, fix it 7 times.. Reinvent the wheel every day. Compile 8085/8086 code daily. Drink lots of instant coffee. Look both ways before cooking a turkey.
