Porting Addins for SH4
« on: February 03, 2013, 11:42:07 pm »
I have just started working on porting some games from older models to SH4, explained as possible here: http://community.casiocalc.org/topic/7000-power-graphic-2-development-thread/

I have zero experience with C and the Casio SDK but I have gotten the application CalcCity to at least run on my calculator.
Unfortunately, it still crashes sometimes (but never in the emulator/debugger...) so I was wondering what it takes to get a debug output on the device itself.

Also, I had to replace Epsilion with RevolutionFX, but there are some modified files linked in the thread.  How do I use those?

Hopefully someone here (or there) can help. :D

Heya,

Nice to hear that you want to port some apps to newer models. It was a shame to see that most old games and tools stopped working on the same model just because they now use a newer processor and undocumented features. Sadly I can't help much, though, since I don't code for Casio, and such thing probably requires quite a bit of coding experience, although maybe someone like Flyingfisch, SimonLothar or MPoupe might be able to. I don't know if such on-calc debugging tool exists for 9860G models, though, so you might be out of luck.

Have you checked through the download sections on Casio sites?

And of course http://www.casiocalc.org/to/fsdisplay.php

As for RevolutionFX you mean this, right? http://revolution-fx.sourceforge.net/

Almost every app does not work because Casio seems to have changed the way C/C++ addins reference things like keypresses and the display. *doh*

The French Planet Casio has a compatibility list but it only contains about 10 items and it seems hard to find people actively developing for these new models anymore!

Ill keep trying with some simpler stuff than CalcCity and maybe learn C and run into those devs in the meantime. ;)

Ah I see. I thought a few more were compatible, although I knew a lot weren't anymore. Most people who make 9860G games are French but most are BASIC programmers.

Casimo posted some very useful code patches in this thread: http://community.casiocalc.org/topic/7000-power-graphic-2-development-thread/

They will make most addins work on the new calcs so long as you have the source code. ;)

Interesting. Does that include any undocumented code?

Yes, I linked to that in my original post and have used the tips mentioned there to make sense of the porting process.  Casimo linked me to another thread over there and I will check it out and report how it's going.  I want to get this!

Flying fish, if you have the addins can you edit the source code with code on the linked forum? If not how do you get the source code/edit it?
