 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

The next version of the CMM2 V7.00.00 firmware will include a program loader. This will allow external programs to run on the CMM2 from the Basic command prompt. So far I have a full implementation of: Micropython, fully working with video, sound and peripheral support Doom  and ScummVM running.  ScummVM is so far tested with Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Sam and Max Hit the Road. To run, for example, Doom I just type RUN "A:/doom/doom.app" and when I exit I'm straight back to the Basic command prompt - magic  I will ship the various apps but can't ship the game files for the ScummVM adventure games but if you have them already or buy your favourites from GOG.com then they should run. See https://www.scummvm.org/ for lots more information and advice on tested games. Frame rates on Doom and the ScummVM games are stunning. |

I've sold four CMM2's in the last week or so. I guess I had better order some more then! CMM2 popularity looks like it might start picking up again with this new FW release. It WAS doing VERY well, up until COVID hit the world and the ST chip became impossible to obtain. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Doom and ScummVM - that sounds fantastic. Thanks for that great work!!!! @hhtg1968 I'll have to check—I might still have a CMM2V2G2 lying around. But I won't be able to check until tomorrow evening. |

@hhtg1968 I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't have any CMM2G2V2s left. |

A small hardware question in between. Is there a CMM2 Version done/planned or generally possible with HDMI or only with VGA? I just found ManiB´s great (german) tutorial How to get one/some yourself: https://mikrocontroller.bplaced.net/wordpress/colour-maximite-2-generation-2-version-2-reference-design/  |

Currently it is vga only but you can always use an external hdmi adapter. I am toying with a G3 with HDMI onboard using a MS7210 converter. Would there be any interest? |

Thanks for answering. I can’t say for myself yet, as I’ve only just started catching up. Would a CMM2 with HDMI be similar to a PicoMite, just with different resolutions and so on? Edited 2026-11-05 19:45 by Wölfi |
