I got a pi graphics card for the rc2014 and figured I could slap it in my z180 system. It works, mostly, but there were some issues.
- I think that the image that came with the pi was specifically the rc2014, or at least an older version. The text was absolutely horrific to look at, and the colors didn't exactly work as expected. However, the colors did work in the sense they showed up. The attached pictures are from this stock, older image.
The first one is the included 2048 clone in romwbw. The second is the romwbw boot screen, and the last is the pigfx boot screen.
An interesting note is that the graphic charaters for the 20480 clone seemed to have worked on the border, but not on the numberrs.
In addition, the wireless keyboard I was using didn't work with the older image.
I had experienced this before, sub par usb compatibility and errors on the screen. I fixed it before by putting together a new sd card.
I used the master branch's bin folder and the latest bootcode.bin and start.elf, and I rebooted. I was greeted with a better looking screen:
So this was an improvement. Booting into cp/m seemed to work well too:
However, the 2048 game didn't look right. It at least was the right dimensions, but there was no color and in place of the solid blocks there were the codes for weird U thing:
There is another issue where the enter key seems to have a mind of its own. I hit ENTER and it seems to work, mostly, but I don't know what it's sending. Hitting ENTER in zde doesn't do a new line, it thinks I hit escape or something else, it switches me to the menu.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
