How did you get tetris to run? I lode the 'TETRIS' file, and all I get is garbage on the screen. (of the lameboy that is!). Is the TETRIS file suppossed to be only about 2k???? I did also set a large stack. Any help would be greatly appreciated! --------------+---------------------------------------------------------------- | --Multitasking on the IBM and Mac, the BIG LIE!

Well from what i can tell ya DON'T need a 1 MEG of CHIP.. (I DOn't have that much) But ya doo need a LOT of chip to run the Program. It took up all byt 30K of chip when i ran it.. i set stack to 120000 (A little large) did a 1>Gameboy The thing loaded... Then did a "load" loaded TERTIS (The GB screen was "garbled") then i clicked on PLAY.. Worked fine,,,, BUT SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW My SYSTEM. A500, 68010 CPU, 3.5 meg memory. Normal chips. :^) . -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu aka Willis F York aka Squid on IRC The only thing that Apple invented is the idea to borrow Xerox-invented ideas. (Hope THIS sig don't insult anyone!) :^)

When you load tetris, you do get a screen full of garbage, but you then must choose START (or run or whatever its called) to actually play the game.

I got garbage too, and I _DO_ have a meg of chip, tried running it with NoFastMem, tried running it with a 160,000 byte stack, and it always looks like crap.

That last letter was a mess, wasn't it? Well, anyway- where is ab20, and I to know where I could find some arcing programs.

Well, I am still totally unable to make the emulator work. The emulator itself seems to run fine, however when I load tetris (I've tried loading "tetris.z80" but it is a "bad file format", so i assume it loads that itself after you load in that ~2K tetris file...) Anyways, after being loaded the "gameboy" screen turns to an unrandom garbage, it seems to take on the same pattern every time. When i then hit the play button, the machine GURUs out, citing meditation #00000004.00C875C8 (I have no idea what this particular number means, I dont have any such interpret tables or programs)..... My full setup is: Amiga 500 w/1 Meg (Commodore A501 Memory Expansion) No ECS (512 CHip Ram, 512 Fast), a California-Access 880 External Drive, A Trumpcard-500 controlling a Seagate 49MEG HD, and some other, nonimportant items, such as a modem, printer, etc... I have tried disconnecting everything and then running it...did the same thing, loaded up garbage then crashed when i tried a run...I even tried physically removing the expansion ram, which also didnt help...I'm not sure what the exact problem it, but it seems I am not the only one to experience it...

I can't even get this file! I tried to ftp it from abc20 and it wasn't there. There's a file called "emulators" which I downloaded and found out that it was the un-fixed version of the gameboy emulator which doesn't include the tetris program but only the tetris.z80 file and the gameboy file. Can somebody ftp it to that site again? Thanx. GLinn
