Games on zvm

[Lawrence]

i know this probably isnt the best place to put this but its got something to do with programming so i guess i'll put it here.

has anybody thought of programming games for the zvm? i know its possible and it would look great on the color screen.

has this been attempted or completed anywhere else?

Your best bet would be waiting for Rockbox coming to the ZV:M (if it comes). There are several games included, and more could be programmed as plugins.

That's a pretty big "if". The guys at Rockbox didn't look to be much closer to a solution last time I looked than they were before. If I'm reading it properly, the problem isn't with the ARM processor - it's coding is pretty much open knowledge; but rather, the problem is with lack of clear documentation on the DSP. I think they've come close to cracking the bootloader, though.

so they are actually trying? cool i thought they werent even going to bother.
thats good news

[Lawrence]

yea. i'm sick of calculator games..

[Simon]

haha yeah.. pong on my TI83 Plus is to easy.. its just a pattern. falldown is hard and i just got bored of the puzzles. :P

[Lawrence]

i've been waiting for this dude to release a zelda for the 83/84. its looking really good, like the real deal but in black and white.

[Simon]

sweet. bet its gonna take up all the RAM.. im also lacking the USB to the 2.5mm jack

[Lawrence]

its the same cable as the zvm usb cable.

[Simon]

for the 84 yes, but i've got a 83 and it takes a 2.5mm jack
