Actually to all game programmers. Others can stop reading and delete this message. OK, I have just fixed some bugs in gen_eer.asm. Truthfully, I just editted in the bug-fixes I have made over the last year or so for the games that needed them. I hadn't done this before, because it's going to require you folks to define a few constants which you didn't formerly need. But the "official" gen_eer.asm was getting _so_ out of date I decided to bite the bullet. If you re-assemble your xxx_eer.asm and get error messages, you need to check: definition of QSIZE (probably should be 4, but in any case you need it to be a power of two and to use it in the DS.L that allocates the write queue definition of MAXREC (should be 33 for 2804, or 135 for 2816) I have heard 2804's are getting scarce, so you should at least be _able_ to use 2816's definitions of M_HSCT and M_HSCTS. If you don't have them, see me or crib them off of someone who does. your macro definitions for references to numbers like 33 and $0C, which are now represented by MAXREC et al. In particular, a MOVEQ.L of 33 cannot safely be changed to a moveq.l of MAXREC, since 135 will not fir in a signed byte. Any other questions, you know where to find me (is your passport valid for Brazil?) Mike
