After spending about 1 year developing on the nintendo gameboy (as a
display for data acquisition systems), I recently gained intereset in
the VMU. Software development/emulation works nicely: congratulations
for this.
I then bought one VMU last week, installed the parallel port connexion
as described in http://www.maushammer.com/vmu.html#VMU2PC
and tried sending tetris.vms to the actual hardware. No luck :(
I just checked on the oscilloscope if anything is happening on the
parallel port (0x378, LPT1): I cannot see any signal variation.
So I assume I am not using the right software for programming the
VMU through the parallel port.
VMU2PCAlphaRelease.zip will not work for me as it is compiled
to run under windows only (I only have a DOS/Linux box running).
I suppose I have to understand how to cross compile to DOS from
Linux DJGPP, but I have never tried that.
I used the software by Soren (VMU2PC-djgpp, cross-compiled throught
DJGPP): this is the one that does not seem to be communicating with
the parallel port, even though I precise -t 0x378 or -t LPT1.
Can you confirm if I am using the right software, or otherwise which
version I should use for VMU/PC communication through the parallel
port ?
Thank you, Jean-Michel FRIEDT (friedtj@...)
