Re: About programs in H8 processor
the work of Franz Huber came to complement the dreams of many enthusiasts, with his 440 Mess Chess emulations of old machines Hello, Almost all of the emulation is from MAME, the chess computer emulation was created by a handful of programmers. It's not solely Franz's work. About H8: Never say neve...

kamoj conchess
Hi Lars, I'm not a regular member here at all but let me say anyway: welcome to the forum. I saw in the other thread that you worked on the Conchess series in the 1980s. It would be off-topic to reply there, so let me open a new thread instead. And I hope other people are interested too to know more...

This LCD screen in Simultano and later Saitek chesscomputers uses an Epson SED1502F, 7 address pins and 8 data pins. https://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/922/SED1500-pdf.php It acts kind of like a small RAM chip, so that part should be easy to imitate on a microcontroller. Redoing the ...

Nice writeup! It's not commonly known, that Novag Savant actually has 2 processors. AFAIK it is the 1st multi-processor chess computer. It has a 6MHz Z80 and a 4MHz Fairchild 3870. The 3870 is responsible for handling the buttons, touchscreen, LCD, and sound. The chess calculations are done on the Z...

Delta-1 binary data has nothing in common with Chess Partner 2000 or Pocket Chess (both Mike Johnson). I forgot the possibility of multiple people working on the programming. One person for the I/O and interface, another person for the chess engine. For example, the the user interface programmer for...

Very interesting observations here! =) Did Ron only port some of the functions to 8080, or the whole chess engine? FYI, CC3 ROM was dumped by Sean Riddle yesterday and the chess program is indeed identical to the 3-lvl cartridge for Intellect-02. With Intellect-02 they did some minor changes, such a...

Getting back to Boris, here are annotated dissasemblies by Sean Riddle. The 2nd revision was recently dumped by him. You can see it has a lot more messages.

uCOM-4 MCU family is emulated in MAME, it's written by me: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/devices/cpu/ucom4/ucom4.cpp However, with these chips it's very hard to read out the internal ROM contents, yovan won't be able to dump the ROM. I know someone who can, but that person is very ...

Hi, if anyone is interested - I've just released a new (final) version of CB-Emu. I've implemented lots of new chess modules since Fernando created this thread - in total it contains now 128 modules. That's great work and all, but please give credit where credit is due. It kind of sounds like you'r...
