Re: Emulator II supported by EMXP v2.03

2007-04-12 by esynthesist

Thanks all for the positive feedback !
I'll try to add some more EII-features in the future.

One of the things that I'll also try out is using a direct serial 
link between the PC and the Emulator II. I think I have the "code" to 
instruct the Emulator II to upload and download bankfiles. So the 
only additional thing I'll need is a small USB-to-RS422 convertor and 
a custom-built serial cable. If it works we'll be able to skip the 
Mac (although this could be a shame - the current setup is 
really "vintage" and "charming").

By the way: reverse engineering the EII was fun, but it was also the 
most difficult one since I started the EMXP project. The memory 
layout applied by the EmuII is absolutely not straightforward (never 
seen such a mess :-). The 8-bit compression algorithm on the other 
hand is simply awesome - Emu did a fantastic thing here.
