Is this not how it works? Develop a better version that you can sell cheaper or give away. Yea but his private "better" version is falling behind in terms of features, compatibility and frankly recognition.. its rapidly getting to the point where no one will want to run it since it slowly breaking from all the changes to the mister base ...

Thank you everyone for the great debate, if you want to call it that, but I did not come to this site for this reason. It turned into gas lighting which I thought was over with in this day and age but I was wrong. How many innovators and creators have been thrown off Atari Age or the ADAM FB Page trying to defend their work because it is a threat a...

BMACK36 https://github.com/CollectorVision/Phoenix-Colecovision/blob/master/rtl/colecovision.vhd https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ColecoVision_MiSTer/blob/master/rtl/cv_console.vhd You also have several facts wrong in your post like Toby selling DKA. Toby is part of Collectorvision not Opcode Games which got the C&D from Nintendo. To reiterate ...

Pity .. But like the Taylor's TRS8 Coco3 de-10 core that first came out .. it was also not released, stayed closed source and was only later available if you payed for it via being a paid patron, and while it was great for a short while, someone else has just released an alternative open TRS80 Coco3 core and that now will be the one people talk ab...

Akeley There was a question asked and I did my best to answer it with the reasons why. People create these cores from blood, sweat and tears just for someone, sometimes outside of jurisdiction, to steal then use them in their own projects for profit. How am I an elitist or a pirate because I refuse to share MY hard work with someone who just wants ...

BMACK36 I do not care either way. I have no dog in the collectorvision fiasco that is plagued with issues they can not solve. I LOOKED at both the Atari 2600 cores and they were identical 100% at the time I examined them. Same with the Colecovision minus the F18 9938 or whatever it is graphics addon core. The BIOS is unlicensed the HDMI is unlicens...

Maybe I said to much. But the reality is that they DID use MiSTer cores because I have analyzed the source and even the commenting was exactly the same as well as the revision dates. At least the versions I picked up from not only the MiSTer sources but the Phoenix github page. Look, I do not own those cores and my version incorporates improved 680...

BTW, ADAM has a several 6801's. One in each peripheral. Printer, keyboard, disk drives and the tape drives which in order to save space was half on the main board with the rest of the drive as a plug in. The Phoenix has no ADAM net connection for either the disk drive or DDP's so all their software would have to be used via SD Card so in reality al...

I am working on an ADAM Compatible Core for a private project. My concern is with a company such as those who produce the Colectorvision Phoenix, takes other peoples work then uses it in their product. If you look at the history they use a modified MiSTer Colecovision and Atari 2600 core which are freely available yet they make money selling the Ph...
