matherp said Latest betas:

PicoMiteRP2350V6.00.00b6.zip

This version runs so far with the OLIMEX most stable in widescreen mode, unfortunately the monitor hp 2309m still resyncs once every 60-90 sec. It also seems to depend on whether a program is running (example hut.bas as demo), then it is a little earlier. Otherwise in idle even 2-3 minutes okay.
The board from Peter (thanks @plasmamac) also runs, but not quite as stable in widescreen mode (same FWb6), earlier syncs.
The HDMI version with the direct HDMI board to the Pico2 seems to cause the most problems so far, although I still have to test the current FW here ... I'll get back to you later!

What good changes have you made Peter?

Sorry if I missed it somewhere in these threads, is there a version of PETSCII Robots that works on the HDMI versions?

I am using the OLIMEX board with the latest betas from 18 Sep. The game looks, sounds, and plays OK, but the Player and Robot "Sprites" aren't rendering properly. Or perhaps I am missing some setting somewhere?

let's work together. sd card reads, sound 3.5 stereo is good at low volume.
hdmi is fine on tv..
but now mode 3 on vga which I have with sdcard,mmb sound 3.5 with better filter and usb to ttl cos using usb version which powers 5v line which powers usb kb or gameport.
thinking pico2 vga better than olimex although it's a nice,neat,tidy board.
vga was never a problem and a vga connector is easier to wire than hdmi, the threads. so testing pico2 on usb vga, drop in replacement for 2040 labled usb vga.

@matherp, if you had sorted mode 3 for vga before hdmi mode 3 then I'd not bought an olimex. my existing vga with pico 2 would have been the same... better? no moans my vga don't sync. it does and vga wiring isn't fussy

Tested Petscii robots..

in mode 4 Petsciirobots looks fine, but:

What about mode 5?

Does this fix the transparency issue in mode 2?

Thanks for the testing

Sorry, was asleep here in the US. Yes, in PETSCII Robots the player and robot sprites are now rendering properly in HDMI mode 2. The game is actually quite impressive compared to the versions available for other platforms, especially considering it is done in BASIC.

This would not have been possible without Peter's powerfull command extensions. With the introduction of "Sprite Memory", the number of sprites was only limited by the memory size.

The integration of "Play MOD" and "Play Modsample" made the sounds and music possible in this form

Maybe also mention David Murray, who open sourced the game maps, and early artwork.
That game design makes the gameplay.

I still play some of the levels now and then. As one of the few games that keep challenging me

The test program you provided worked fine on HDMI Mode 2 and 5
I wasn't sure if you thought Petscii and or Flappy birds would also run in both of these modes, without modification? Anyway In HDMI Mode 2 they both work as expected.
However in HDMI Mode 5, Flappy birds did this.

and Petscii basically gave a completely magenta screen, with two partial copies of the running man only.
