I was surprised to hear that the dump is different. I put the dump into the MESS BIOS format and it still ran. I didn't try doing much with it though. Has...

Sorry this does not directly relate to the APF, but it will in time. I am currently for purely personal pleasure researching the history of video/computer...
... Possible answer #1: At the risk of being rude: there are only 12 or 13 total cartridge games for this system, and they're all archived and "here," along...
Guys, sorry, I am in hospital from from motorcycle wreck. I won't be able to get to my scanner and APF stuff for about six or seven weeks. But after that,...
That's an interesting project, especially since it includes some of the really early and obscure stuff that most people have never heard of. I hope that if...
... As for the APF games, [...] you might as well try them all ... There are so few games for the MP-1000 console that trying them all only makes sense....
I have to agree with not being a fan of what was released on the system game-wise. Space Destroyers was interesting on the IM, with the spoken intro (though...
... "What he said". Get better, man! Guys, I'm also busy for the next six weeks ... if not longer. I'll have, at most, about five hours per night to do...
The Vic-20, among many other computers, uses animation techniques similar to the APF to move objects. That is, without hardware sprites. Lance talked about...
I've figured out how the control bytes work as far as I need to use them with the menu strings on the APF menu. Here is how the BIOS handles the cartridge...

I wrote columns as an exercise to see how a cartridge worked. It is of little use as it requires an IM with 16K RAM. You can recognize "targets" as an example...
