OK, I got it : RTE vs RTS

Since this thread get some new coverage, I tried myself to make SGDK compatible mode 1. I go up to the sub run, then, I activate the vint synchronize thing and everything crash.... Probably something on my code but I don't know how to debug this !!! It seems Fusion and RetroArch support this boot fr...

oh...so trying to handle everything with the µC isn't always a good idea

But using a multiplexer, I don't see how you could force your own peripheral ID, like I asked on the another thread...

Hi, i was about to make a secret-product-to-Genny joypad when I read this interesting post of raphnet So it seems you can't make "easily" a home made joypad with an avr (read arduino too)... what do you thing of his experiment ? Does it mean you need a better µC ? or just avoid AVR ? What's bug me i...

OT:
nothing, only wanted to know if the I2S was as great as it seems (with sound save)
I discovered the saleae products this week and they seems really good...
so bad the 16channels costs 3x the 8channels version

Ok, I found you use the saleae software.
Did you try the i2s plugin ?

Now, we can use arduino for CDC controlling, CPLD for subcode decoding to track time and syncing and some I2S DAC, such TDA1543 to build true CD player, based on MCD drive. It will be interesting, heh? CPLD also can be used for multiplexing to bytes and demultiplexing to nibbles. Somebody can say t...

... But it seems to be SCOR uses AND too. ** FACEPALM ** Of course, the answer was here from the beginning : SCOR is set when the synchronisation WORD is met. This word is unique and nowhere else to be found. But S0 BYTE could be found alone, as well as S1 BYTE but these 2 will never be met togethe...

and I use .ASM or .S to go through my macro preprocessor to generate .s

From what I know, I'm not aware of a standard.
Some of them are inherited from old 68K asm editor.

The only reason I use different extension to be sure the right assembler will be called on my makefile

SCOR period: 1/75 sec. which prove MCD is 1x CD drive and you do understand why I wanted to check fi SCOR was in sync with IRQ which 1/75sec too Yes, but nIRQ is not 1/75. It is most like 1/150. 1/75 is what's on MCD 1 manual so it's strange.....(it's written 1 frame = 1/75s) http://savepic.ru/1464...

It is quite logical. When reader detect S1 (while S0 already in internal buffer/register) it set SCOR for one subcode byte. And reset it on first non Sx subcode. It is not necessary to set it for 2. http://savepic.ru/14666828.png To be honest, i know the answer was on this picture...but I was unabl...

THANKS !!! awesome !!! so, for me, the only question still here (for now) is why SCOR is only 1 frame and not 2 like it should be : A sector is 98 frames, with 2 frames for S0/S1 synchronisation word and 96 frames for subcode = 96bit for P, 96bit for Q,...... so where is the second frame ?! oh, and ...

I forgot control channel. Here is power up OHHH !!! IRQ is not sent EVERY 1/75s ?!!! Does it mean the next IRQ is sent only when command received is proceeded ? to be able to sent result on next IRQ ? it would answer my question about sync how comm / sub / data I would then mean IRQ status = xxx co...

OK. I think we can do first approach to make FLASH player of CD image. The only thing is still undiscovered is set of commands and statuses on control 4 bit bus. I think it's not that hard... difficult for someone like me who'll need to learn VHDL & FPGA at the same time (in progress...very interes...
