New update taking into account changes suggested by e5frog, check out the development log for full details.

Chef I actually owned, so would love to do that, I had quite a few sega tiger electronics too, sonic, shinobi and after burner. If I can get the after burner type game to run on a Fairchild I'll be quite happy!

Thanks for the ideas, might try some of them!

absolutely! While the channel F has a lot of limitations on the speed that graphics update on the screen, G&W games fit nicely into it.

E5frog has given me some ideas to improve this one so might work on that first, but definitely looking forward to making some more. After March I might have more time for this as I'm cutting down to 4-5 days work.

The main release is now available, with some potential minor changes if I feel like it (see above description).

Open to requests for other ports to do on the Fairchild channel F.

Go for it and thanks for the response, I might take a look and see if I can compile something later today, fancy a change from the F8 so why not go further back! 

Wow thanks for all the technical info on how you got it working, I went on a search after seeing this and there isn't a lot of easy info to find. I did check out the instruction list and it seems simple* enough to understand and get started. 

One of the things I really struggle with though is going from assembly code to something that will run in an emulator. Would you be prepared to do a tutorial / release the resources you created to go from macro assembler to emulator? Would be great if this system is opened up to more people to develop for. 

Searching YouTube looks like one guy actually made pong that the guys with the working PDP-1 in a museum did actually run a few years ago... So clearly it is possible! 

*ahahahahha

I think it can be easily doubled, but wondering if x4 or more will be too much.

I did take a look at the code the other day but because I coded it from scratch rather than using blit and plot it'll take me awhile to adjust it!

I still need to sort it out so it can reach the end without trouble too, I'll see if I can give it a go this week.
