DC-600 is a Talent TDC-600 Floppy Disk Drive Cartridge for MSX Computers Project is available at GitHub github.com/konkotgit/MSX-DC-600 #msx #retrogaming #diy #github
The math behind projecting 3d images of cubes is actually very simple. The cos, sin are precalculated and put in memory though. The z80 doesn't do and even modern cpu doesn't do cosinus and sinus fast at all. But they made it work, multiplying matrix with coordinates of the cube points and find the 3d cube points to 2d x,y points on screen.
Hi!! I successfully assembled a floppy disk interface DC-600. I connected to OMEGA and connected GoteK flash floppy to run the game. However, while reading the file, it freezes on a black screen. (But interestingly, some games are running well. YS1, aleste2, etc.... ) Gotek Floppy Action LED is on but OMEGA is stopped. Some games have a start screen, but will stop after a while.(FireHawk, Ultima4, PsychoWold..etc) Is it an MY Omega problem? Or is it a My DC-600 issue? The DC-600 was tested by assembling two different production years WD37C65. ('86 '87)
You don't need an MSX-DOS floppy disk to test the interface. Make sure your floppy disk drive supports DS/DD. Use a DS/DD floppy disk and try formatting. You can use a DS/HD floppy disk with a covered hole, but I don't recommend it. To format the disk, use the command "call format" from MSX Basic.
@@skotii In your video computer boots to MSX-DOS. Does it load the OS from floppy or from ROM? I built both CDX-2 and TDC-600 and so far cannot make them work with Omega MSX computer. When I try any of the interfaces, they boot to regular MSX Basic. Should a disk version of Basic be loaded instead? If I type 'call format' I get a syntax error message. How should it start if there is no disk in a: or b: ?

Congratulations by the excellent work! I have a question: can I use the Microsol rom to record the eprom? Thanks!
No. For Microsol use port based interface github.com/konkotgit/fdd-cdx2

Good job!!!! Amazing!!! Is it works acessing ports ou memory?
Memory. Port based interface is here github.com/konkotgit/fdd-cdx2
@@skotii ok, but this port based clone interface works on a one chip msx?
@@marlosrobert It has been tested on some real MSX1 and MSX2 machines. It should work, but I can't guarantee it.
Should I start with an MSX-DOS disk in drive A:? Where can I get the disk image? Thanks
