It's just that if I use a USB Picomite I have a USB keyboard plugged in already, & and it has an internal hub, with 3 USB sockets along the back, so it would be very easy to use. I already have a Wii controller, for which I made an extension cable with connector on the end to go to the connector along the back of the Game*Mite, sounds like I'll have to try bringing out the same connections & use that, I was hoping to not have to bring out more connections. :-( Regards Kevin. |

I'll try and find time to give my own PicoMiteVGA USB a poke over the weekend, I'll check if my Buffalo USB controller works with it ... of course a game would have to be adapted to read it.

Had a very quick play (I really need to get MMB4L into a shape I can share, it is so convenient to be able to test this on my laptop without all the messing about with SD cards and/or XMODEM and the real hardware). Very impressive "pixel dust", I wonder if fewer particles that travel further and (by reducing the number of particles) having multiple explosions occurring simultaneously would look better. I have noticed that the UFOs can occasionally disappear randomly without me having apparently shot them ? Keep up the good work, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

So that others can join the fun here's a quickly hacked together version with CMM2 + Wii Classic support: rocks14-thwill.zip In theory this single file should work on both PicoMiteVGA and CMM2, but I haven't tested on the real hardware so it is possible, however unlikely, that the additional processor "load" on the PicoMiteVGA may not be negligible.

it's technically gone tits up. picomite 2040,vga 2040,usb pico2040, usb vga 2o40 and all pico2 versions. I lost the thread' the usb serial to ttl is a male socket and plugging into a usb2male to female lead unreliable. looking for female usb serial to ttl I only got bread board vga pico. solder stripboard tomorrow got vga sockets and gonna use mcp23017 i2c 16 pin expander for key input. the usb vga is nice but serial usb to ttl is 5v power and all my connections fail. thing is do I use a keyboard in a program? no. so why bother with usb ? gonna do a nice stripboard normal vga tomorrow. got a pack of 5 inductors for sound filter,3 left. veecad handy. I'll be using pico blue usb c. seem ok these vga sockets are <£2 for 2  |

Stan, I have extensively played version rocks14.bas and it is very playable and entertaining using either ps2 keyboard, or nes controller. I am working on other controllers but do not have any usb controllers nor do I have a usb keyboard on pico. I2C controllers are fast enough for this game.

Stan, I think you must have forgotten, if you are going to use PLAY MOD then you have always had to preallocate some of the flash to it, e.g. at the prompt: OPTION MODBUFF ENABLE 192 WARNING! this will erase the contents of A: drive. Good luck, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

an observation, pico 2,vga usb rocks13 It's autorun using pc to female usb for power. open mmcc then the pc keyboard works and the usb kb can be disconnected. the pc keyboard is much more responsive than usb. how's pc kb works when mmedit mmcontrol centre enabled? it's usb how to get wrap around missiles again? not moaning. it's great. shows lots of features/methods.
