find the RX-78 program used to


VidDumper is the PC video capture tool used to "read" the RX-78's video output, it's already compiled btw ;-)
The RX-78 must use some kind of ROM dumper that converts byte's bits into blocks and draws them in the screen

An OCR could be also a solution; but probably it's prone to faults, so in this case doesn't seems the best method.

That's it, thanks!, the listing at the end of the diary is the aforementioned program:

Quote:
data recorder and the suction of the cartridge that is not equipped with a terminal.
From on the monitor, the program that displays the contents of the ROM as a dot pattern
I tried to create.
Because such as character display routine, a routine in the IPL are various public
It is welcome.

Code:
ORG 0B000H

   JR START 18 12
   // 1 byte of pattern display
DISP: LD E, 01H 1E 01
DISP0: LD A, 01Fh 3E 1F
   SLA D CB 22
   JR C, DISP1 38 02
   LD A, 020h 3E 20
DISP1: CALL 0C3H CD C3 00
   SLA E CB 23
   JR NC, DISP0 30 F1
   RET C9
START: LD HL, 02000H 21 00 20
   // non-display
LOOP0: XOR A AF
   OUT (0FEH), A D3 FE
   // CLS
   LD A, 06H 3E 06
   CALLA 0C3H CD C3 00
   // 1 screen to display the 22bytes worth
   LD B, 016H 06 16
   display of // one line
LOOP1: LD A, 02BH 3E 2B
   CALL 0C3H CD C3 00
   CALL 0A5H CD A5 00
   LD D, H 54
   CALL DISP CD 02 B0
   LD D, L 55
   CALL DISP CD 02 B0
   LD D, (HL) 56
   CALL DISP CD 02 B0
   LD A, 02BH 3E 2B
   CALL 0C3H CD C3 00
   INC HL 23
   DEC B 05
   JR NZ, LOOP1 20 E3
   // screen display
   LD A, 07H 3E 07
   OUT (0FEH), A D3 FE
   // keyboard waiting
K0: CALL 09CH CD 9C 00
   JR Z, K0 28 FB
K1: CALL 09CH CD 9C 00
   JR NZ, K1 20 FB
   JR LOOP0 18 C9


As far as to check on the emulator, I seems to work normally.


Google gives a rough translation; but enough to understand the purpose of this program.

I'll try to get a video capture device and test the tool-chain. Obviously, seems that I'll need to type-in the listing each time a cartridge is inserted :-P

Excellent news! Looking forward to see your progress, fingers crossed it will all work well.

Bummer, but on the bright side it could be worse I guess, at least the listing isn't too large :D
I suppose this can't be saved in some sort of script file in the machine so you don't need to type it over and over? Probably a stupid question, but I have never worked with a RX-78.
