[atari7800] Re: Any projects going on yet?

i have worked on my senso7800 dx projects quite a while ago just to learn 
the hardware and imho its really easy to code. coming from atari 800 it was 
quite heavy at the beginning but it went away if you
get the docs...

just start with changing colors and getting sprites on screen... take a look 
on my senso website as far as i can remember i have the DASM source code of 
the intro into senso... i started with the backdoor.s from dan's site if i 
remember right... so DASM + dans 7800 emulator (hmmm...reminds me that it 
does not run under XP?) and that's all... if 7800emu does not work get MESS 
to double check...

other projects i am aware of is the RMT replayer routine on 7800 with pokey 
support... so there is no excuse to use the crap 2600 soundchip... ;)
