RE: HP-67 FUN rom documentation thread
Ok, here is the PDF with the current updates: 67FUN manual PDF
What remains to be done: 1) ST (StarTrek): Robert is working on this. No big deal. 2) ART (Artillery): Needs labels and registers updated. I also would like someone to verify the example game I put in. Did I do this correctly or is there a mistake in the program somewhere? 3) General error checking of course. Everything else is done. I have done some document formatting. Perhaps a table of contents will be added. I may put the page number into the XROM table at the start. Getting close! |

Did I do this correctly or is there a mistake in the program somewhere? The program seems to run correctly. I changed the RNG to the method and seed of the original HP67 version, and the results exactly matched the example. However, the program's output seems a bit ...counterintuitive as far its interpretation is concerned. But it works. Here is an example for the ROM version. For a quick success the target speed was set to 0, i.e. it doesn't move after a shot. ;-) Code: XEQ "ART" Regarding registers and labels: R05: shot counter, doesn't seem to get used R06: shell's rounded distance from target R07: shell's rounded direction from target LBL 01: adjust target position by a random amount LBL 03: generate hh.DDDD output LBL 05: doesn't seem to be a jump target LBL 07: check if target has approached to less than 500 m. If yes... LBL 08: ...display "close" message and "*gotcha*" => game over LBL 09: change exact bearing/distance slightly by a random amount (12-02-2016 05:19 PM)Gene Wrote: Everything else is done.

Gene, I think the most important part here are page breaks. Each program should start on a new page, and I think this should also apply to every listing. I also think that the a) b) c) ... thing at the labels/register section is a bit confusing and should be omitted. Just my 2 cents. Dieter |

RE: HP-67 FUN rom documentation thread
Good points. Updated.
PDF here: PDF I have put in page breaks and updated the Artillery information. Thank you. I have not yet changed the outline format of registers, labels and flags. I will ponder that. :-) |

RE: HP-67 FUN rom documentation thread
I am a little late to this thread but just found out that all the links are broken, i.e. they take me to a DropBox page with... nothing, no document nor file linked. Is there a way to make them more persistent ?
This problem is common to the articles/threads from the same time frame. This considerably reduces the usefulness of said articles/threads :-( Maybe I am missing something, besides being late to the party ? |

RE: HP-67 FUN rom documentation thread
Sorry. In between the original posts and now, Dropbox changed how their public links are presented due to abuse / copyright issues somewhere in the world.
Here's the PDF of the manual: 67FUN Writeup Here's the link to the .zip of the .rom and .mod files (but if you go to Monte's 41CL site, you can download the rom image in the 41CL database - it is current). .mod and .rom of the 67FUN effort |

Is there a way to make them more persistent ? This does not necessarily mean folks have pulled their files. A few months ago, DropBox made some kind of significant change in their addressing scheme (unannounced as far as I know, but could be wrong) which broke ALL links. As stuff gets reported, some folks are moving them to new DropBox links (not me) or to more stable free cloud hosts such as GoogleDrive and OneDrive. In many cases though, the original posters may not even realize things have broken, as after all, it's in the cloud, where you don't have to worry about it. --Bob Prosperi |

RE: HP-67 FUN rom documentation thread
But this does bring up the two other unfinished (ok, actually nearly UNSTARTED) projects...
67FUN2 and the extended precision program rom. It is the second one that intrigues me. I know of the Multiple Precision rom already out there by Peter Platzer. But this rom would save programs from the PPC Journal that did things like simply return a 20 digit square root, or multiply two 20 digit numbers together or take the sine of an angle to 105 decimal places. :-) Why? History is one reason. Our obsession is another. Ha. |

RE: HP-67 FUN rom documentation thread
And after viewing the 67FUN manual, I found a couple of corrections. Most of them were enforcing consistency on myself - ending periods in lists, etc. but one was a typo in the flags set by the text bytes in the RF routine as noted in the new document found here:

I stopped using DropBox a couple of years ago when they dropped support for PPC Macs. Håkan |

RE: HP-67 FUN rom documentation thread
It may ask for a dropbox account signin, but I don't think it requires it.

Click on the "Download" dropdown menu and select "direct download". It may take a few attemps until it works. BTW, the XROM functions 23,25 and 23,36 in the program listing of the JT game are just undecoded XROM"S" and XROM"R" calls of this 67FUN ROM. ;-) Dieter |

Yes! I managed to download it now (I was able when I tried yesterday).
