Working on a library of functions (sector loaders, color palette, vert/hor retrace functions)
Laying out a memory map for the demo
Below the output of the sin/cos generator ( see used in video below ) (It also shows a visual plot of the function)
Two examples included in the python script to generate DB enties, which can be assembled in your source code (just include or copy paste)
Source code python script
# importing the required module
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import math
# Change these
numberofdatapoints = 360
maxamp = 180
howmuchfromwave = 0.5
numberofharmonies = 1
# Number of harmonies are sin/cos additions in the calculation line below
# not here
step = 360/numberofdatapoints*howmuchfromwave
offset = maxamp
maxamp = maxamp / numberofharmonies
offset = 0
x = [ ]
for xv in range(numberofdatapoints):
xvstep=xv * step
# Calculation line
# datapoint=np.sin(math.radians(xvstep))
# Double harmony example
datapoint=np.sin(math.radians(xvstep)) + (np.sin(math.radians(xvstep*3))/2)
datapoint=datapoint * maxamp
datapoint=datapoint + offset
x.append(int(datapoint))
print(" db ", end="")
print(*x, sep = ",")
# plotting the points
plt.plot(x)
# naming the x axis
plt.xlabel('x - axis')
# naming the y axis
plt.ylabel('y - axis')
# giving a title to my graph
plt.title('Example')
# function to show the plot
plt.show()
Minimalistic very fast boot loader flash screen effect
Graffiti bouncher test (probably ends up bounching a 320×400 image) This one uses the generated sintab (Using the python script above)
Test code for a text scroller
Code optimalisation/tricks
clear a (double) register? xor ax,ax is faster than mov ax,0h
Want to make ds pointer same as cs? Instead of mov ax,cs mov ds,ax use push cs pop ds
self modifying code mostly we just move data around, but you also can change the runtime code (instructions)
a – increment ax on line 103h
b – another part of the code/maybe in a interrupt 10Fh load al with 48h (thats the opcode for decrement (see c) 111h place the opcode in address 103h, which had 40h .. Now we changed the code to decrement next time
Speedcode
Populair on the C64 where resources are even more limited, you could use speedcode. Most of the speedcode you generate, due to its repeating lines. When looking at clock cycles you can save some extra cycles, by using a little more memory but saving on “expensive” loops.
Simple example
Left a funtion with a loop, right is the same but all instuctions sequencial
Left 15 bytes but 284 cycles
Right 39 bytes but only 102 cycles!
4
4
; below part 9 times
9
3
4
16 or 4
= 284 cycles
Speedcode
4
2 ; xor is faster
9
3 ; even 2 when you can use BX pair!

Moving memory blocks (No DMA)
;DS:(E)SI to address ES:(E)DI
push cs ; example to set es to code segment
pop es
mov si,1000 ; offset pointer source
xor di,di ; destination offset
mov cx,320*100 ; number of transfers (See below words)
mov ax,0a000h ; Destination
mov es,ax ; destination segment
cld ; Clear direction flag set SI and DI to auto-increment
rep movsw ; repeat mov words! until number of transfers is 0
;
Short binary > bcd > dec (ascii) convert for numbers (0-99)
mov ax,01ch ; = 28
mov bx,0ah ; = 10
div bl ; divide BL by AX
; AX = 0802 ; Remainder/Divider
xchg ah,al ; change around (dont use if you want to keep little endian)
add ax,3030h ; offset to ascii 30=0 31=1
; ax ends up with 3238 .. 28
While watching a online python course, I was writing the code for a music guessing game (Highland Bagpipe Tunes) The core is working, now it’s a matter of filling this “pruts” with tunes.
Switching between python, php, bash and C is a nightmare 🙂
A screenshot of work in progress
Then the postman came .. with goodies. I needed the MAX9814 analog microphone with amplifier, all of my other sensors were not up to the task.
So I switched to this WIP with the MAX9814. I want to make a little gadget using an Arduino and 9 leds, which uses FFT to blink which note I am playing on my Highland Pipes.
So detecting is working, now I have to attach a bunch of leds.
First test using Arduino Cloud (I still prefer PlatformIO) But this is better than the old IDE. (Note, you have to install an agent to connect your browser to a board)
Next thing I did today: Getting my waveshare RP-2040 Zero working with micropython.
Great the little NeoPixel Led on the board.
Steps to get this working:
Install Thonny
Connect the rp2040 via USB with the boot button pressed
place RPI_pico.xxxx.uf2 on the mounted usb disk, it will reboot
Run Thonny connect and run a test program
Want to run program @boot ? save -> to device, and call main.py
Got a question, could I make the video viewer also for images.
Well, that is a great idea, i’ve got some panoramic photos myself.
A little modification, some added code, but here is a working example.
Some vacation pictures widescreen …
CODE imageview.py filename Use esc to stop, and enter for next image. (Has better full screen experience than my movie player. (no padding) have to revisit that one )
Nice to have?
Back button?

I didn’t find an easy and working movie player for wide screen setups. Like double/triple monitor setups.
I’ve got 3x 1920×1080 monitors connected to my battlestation. With a resolution of 5760×1080
Simple Python code to play a movie fullscreen
# importing vlc module
import vlc
# creating vlc media player object
media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
# media object
media = vlc.Media("movie.mp4")
# setting media to the media player
media_player.set_media(media)
media_player.toggle_fullscreen()
# start playing video
media_player.play()

I’ve converted some of my Vuze media to the correct resolution using kdenlive.
I’ve added a new profile. 5760×1080 dont forget to change the display ratio!
Created this for usage with Kodi, for our own personal movies, which can’t be scraped by movie scrapers obviously. (dvd-rip,digital video, mobile movies, OBS, Vuze and Nikon movies for example)
Needed libraries: (install with pip) pathlib, Pillow, pymediainfo,PySimpleGUI,python-vlc
NFO created
Title – editable (generated from filename) Duration – mediainfo data in seconds Plot – Single line type it yourself Actors – Predefined Tags – Predefined checkboxes Country – Pulldown ( I use this as location, Scotland, Asia, Garden) Year – default 2023, copy button from mobile phone metadata year Genre – Pulldown
Works
File select and loaded
Play movie, scrub thretro movie
Create snapshot
Play/Mute/Pause
Playtimer
Auto update NFO text field with selectable options
Poster art – rotate
Poster art – brightness
Reload Thumb after snapshotting
Year extracted from filename
add tag field
Next file (button AND functionality)
checkboxes from text list
Read NFO from file into fields
Poster art – aspect ratio
Needs work
Wish list
Poster art – contrast?
Low – more mediainfo?
Low – Media rotate??
Some ‘action’ screenshots
The GUI in action (V1)
Kodi example
CODE ( WIP ) V2 I place this python script in every library directory. So i can change the checkboxes and the NFO being generated. I fill the directory with symlinks for every movie I want to have included in this directory, but this is not needed. (thats the way I like to do things) (This is the directory I scrape into Kodi)

Using some python and a scraped list I can now mark which movies we’ve seen, or have to see. (Own the movie or have it seen streamed in the cinema)
I just have to place a X after the title in the first column. Run the python script, and presto
First column, the list we started with. Second column, mark the movie. 3rd until the end .. years 2000-2023
Blue – seen Light Blue – seen but was not in original list (so a new movie) Green – have this movie, but still have to watch it Light Green – Have this movie but it’s not in the original list Orange – New in that year (could be an oldie reemerging in the top 250)
Now the python script, maybe it useful for you.

I wrote a little python script which checks the checksum of a Bios.
In a previous post i used hexedit to play around changing a Bios dump.
Below posted python script calculates the checkum using the following:
Add all bytes in the file and do a modulo 256 on this number. The output should be 0.
My previous edit gave me a output of C2, so I changed an unused byte FF into (FF-C2) 3D. No more checksum errors when booting!
Next to do, get a Bios like Glabios or PcXtBios to start my own code from a secondary Eeprom.
import sys
# Bios sum modulo should be 0
# edit last or unused byte to fix
# python bios-checksum-test.py MYROM.edit.checksum
# 0
f = open(sys.argv[1],'rb')
m = f.read()
print '%x' % ( ( sum(ord(c) for c in m) & 0xFFFFFFFF ) % 256 )
Python3
import sys
# Bios sum modulo should be 0
# edit last or unused byte to fix
# python bios-checksum-test.py MYROM.edit.checksum
# 0
f = open(sys.argv[1],'rb')
m = f.read()
checksum = ( ( sum((c) for c in m) & 0xFFFFFFFF ) % 256 )
print(checksum, 'in hex =', hex(checksum))
