RetroPC1010 Personal Home Computer past developement Video's

Below is a few demo videos as we progressed in the developement of the RetroPC1010 Personal Home Computer. Through the developement stage we redisgned and upgraded the hardware, added more memory, added a mechanical Cherry switch keyboard, added new graphics modes, added more color to 16bit color (65536 colors on screen at once). Atari Falcon030 users would call this mode True Color where PC Users would call this mode a HI-Color graphics mode. We've also incorporated a 320x256x256 palletized graphics mode. DOS users would call this graphics mode MODE 13h. If you're a DOS games programmer then you will certainly know this graphics mode. All the demo vidoes is on YouTube for viewing. Just click on the back button to return to this page when finished. Thank you ALL for your interest in our new product the RetroPC1010 Personal Home Computer. Peter Adamcik - CEO Move Systems Technology.

16 SPRITE DEMO 16 sprites moving from left to right. Sprite pallette colours can be any of the 65536 colours. YES Hi-COLOR SPRITES.

PICTURE SLIDESHOW Just a graphics demo. These pictures are 320x240x65536 colors. Testing the GPU's BLIT TRANSFER MODE. Other systems would call this TILE mode.

-> YouTube Video <-

JUGGLER DEMO I owned the Commodore Amiga500 in the 1980's and totally Loved the Juggler Demo using the Amigas HAM6 graphics mode (Hold and Modify 4096 colour mode) I decided to create a demo on our prototype RetroPC1010 machine (Rev A) and here it is.

-> YouTube Video <-

JOYPAD PROTOTYPE DEMO In this video I test the 8 way direction buttons and buttons A,B & C. As you can see when I press either of the buttons the joypad address registers change to a ONE. As I release the button it changes back to a ZERO. Since the creation of this video we've added an extra button to the finished product. Joypads now have buttons A,B,C & D.

-> YouTube Video <-

SIMPLE COUNTING DEMO In this video we wrote a simple counting program to test the speed of the GPU's PRINT to graphics screen assembly language routine. As you can see it's pretty quick. I've actually optimized the assembly routine recently and now its a lot quicker than the video. We want the best performance possible.

-> YouTube Video <-

FULL SCREEN TEXT DEMO In this video we wrote an assembly program to fill the whole screen with characters in bitmap mode. GPU's PRINT to graphics screen assembly routine performance is very very acceptable. All RetroPC1010's graphics modes use a 16bit bitmap graphics mode.

-> YouTube Video <-

KEYBOARD DEMO In this video we tested our (Revision A) mechanical keyboard and found it to be very responsive and it also has a great 1980's keyboard feel and sound. People from the 1980's era will know what I'm talkin' about. The RetroPC1010's text editor uses multicoloured text. You can write your game instructions with this editor using different coloured text.
