[cctalk] VT100 firmware with Space Invaders in AVO ROM

[Please reply to cctalk only] Hello fellow simulator enthusiasts! As a surprise reveal for the end of my "VT100 Deep Dive" talk at VCFMW last weekend, I showed a Space Invaders clone running in the AVO expansion ROM of the VT100 via MAME. Did you know that there's a vt100/vt102 emulator in MAME? It's marked as "not working" and isn't very well documented, but it does in fact work pretty well. In addition to the firmware hack, I've documented how to do various things with the MAME vt100 emulator (see docs/mame.md): - Play back a VT100 animation - Connect to a physical serial port - Connect to a network connection (SIMH console?) Everything is on github in a fork of Paul Williams annotated VT100 firmware assembly listing. <https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/vt100-firmware> Please note that if you wish to try this with real ROMs on real hardware that some special considerations will need to be taken. See the documentation for that. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals-wiki.org> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> Legalize Adulthood!
