what's about ports from 68K to 68K? From Atari ST to QL?

Hi,

I think the porting will take more than 30 days to complete, I send a notification in the post to keep you all up to date....

I did look at the other 68K platforms, probably Atari is the closest to the QL, I did start to disassembler Atari ST Elite with DISA, which did a fair job, but I had to start reading up about the Atari hardware and translate to the QL.

The Amiga uses a C style library based assembler. The Amiga port of the Elite was done by rewriting the game by looking at the game play, the writers could not understand the BBC source code.

Great idea!!!

I would like a day to see a conversion of Bubble Bobble or Carrier Command on the QL from the ST version that was very good!

But I don't know If the "code" is public

Hi Simone,

I have got the Z80 source code to Bubble Boddle, I doubt the Atari ST source is available.

But I will have a search.

Hi,

Some interesting ZX disassemblies can be also found here. Remeber `Skool Daze'? mind the spelling

EDIT, pertaining to ATARI-2-QL porting, I found this interesting topic
