My Accelerator card for APPLE II
Accelerating my program.
It was a long time one of my wish.
Since I was young time, I like to programming on APPLE II+ (It was my first computer).
And tested functions and even try to make games such as Block out and some shooting games.
But, Only my available language was BASIC and hard to make a sound on BASIC. Just toggle sound was possible.
After some research, I could generate tone and melody by ASM power.
Why APPLE II is slow? Can I make my program run faster?
Some months later, I could find a way... it is BASIC compiler.
It accelerates about 2 times than BASIC speed but still not enough to describe my idea. so have to stop to making arcade game.
Learning ASM was too much hard. I can't understand why there are just AND,OR,ADD... and MOVE and some branch commands... there is no sound-generating commands...?
Now, I want to make a gift for me.
CPU Accelerator card for my APPLE II.
I'm mostly using APPLE //e so, I try to accelerate my APPLE //e.
After some months of research, I could find a way to design it.
And tested it.. but, It didn't work of course.
Several actual research again...
Finally, I could make it run.
But no screen output and I only could hear a high pitch beep.
What's wrong? and How to solve this issue?
it was my first problem.
