That's a great picture Dave. Is that the same machine featured in King of Kong?
Good eye - that is, in fact, the same arcade that Steve Weibe visited in King of Kong, however they have several backup machines stored in case they need to make repairs (they just swap out a working version from the "back room"). So it's 50/50 whether that's the exact same Donkey Kong machine featured in King of Kong (highly recommended documentary of classic arcade goodness you can watch on most streaming services...)That's a great picture Dave. Is that the same machine featured in King of Kong?
Can you be a bit more specific? I've got a 7800 but only a half-dozen games. When I play Asteroids on my 7800/TV and then on my emulator, the sounds seem nearly identical.The Sound is way off in the current version or I have to tweak something
Version 3.1 has been released: https://github.com/wavemotion-dave/A7800DS
V3.1 : 31-Jan-2022 by wavemotion-dave
The A7800DS.nds will run on both DSi and DS-LITE/PHAT but may be a little slow on the older DS hardware.
- Now using up to 256K of VRAM for bank swapping and partial DMA transfer to speed up large games.
- Reverted part of the sound core to improve sound quality.
- File selection cleanups to scroll less fast and be generally easier to read.
The A7800DS-LITE.nds will run faster on DS-LITE but is not as full featured.
I spent some time this weekend revising an old friend - the Atari 7800. I wasn't happy with the sound quality and decided to revert some of the zinger-free changes I made to improve sound (but zingers - rare as they are - can happen). I also took the opportunity to port over some knowledge I gained in the past 6 months to use VRAM as a staging area for bank switching memory - this gives a nice 10% speedup for large bankswitched 7800 games. Ninja Golf, Spire of the Ancients and similar big games now run at 60FPS. I think the only games that aren't able to get close to 60FPS are Alien Syndrome (51-53FPS) and Realsports Baseball (52FPS).
