Its working on my real machine. Played first game. Well the display was showing on my desk. Will connect it using an extra cable. Not easy and there are some performance penalties but it is working

Using a modern motherboard with pci express lpt port

What.. How cool is that!! 

 

How large is the perf penalty? Unplayable or okayish?

Well it was not slow but could be faster. Have some ideas to improve but already playable

Just changed my code a little and use a start proces to gain control over io. Much better now. Next week will start on DCS code

I replaced my nucore emulator with my own one in my pinball machine. It works very smooth incl DCS emulation
This means that even wizard blocks can be run with all original sounds
At the moment working on getting the serial ports work so also the terminal is available

Super cool! Did you get your hands on the wizard blocks ROMs?

Any updates on your progress? I would love to be a tester and try it out in my RFM cabinet.

It is working pretty good in my own machine. Going to make installation scripts and installation manual. You can install it if you want and see how it works
What kind of hardware are you going to use?

I have started a topic on pinside for my emulator. If you are interested in the progress look here:

Nice, thanks!!

I am working on a native compilation of pinball 2000 software. It already runs and talks to my driver board.
If I can port my code to windows it might be possible to connect this to a pinball emulator? So virtual p2k?
