Re: Cheap Joystick Interface

With partial decoding with the 7432 you can skip the 74138.
Did the same with my zx-pc interface.

Re: Next 1K hires idea : 2D Monster Maze

Hmmm - looks more like a fly or frog or a combination of both. Anyway somehow frightening. :mrgreen: Yeah, the frog came also to my mind. Base was when Rex comes towards you and opens his mouth. I gave him a few of pointy scrubs on the head. The graphic has the head, two small claws, the big feet a...

Re: Next 1K hires idea : 2D Monster Maze

I was thinking of a small altered plot for the game. Our highhat boss sometimes has days with no visitors, but Rex must be fed. So he needs to enter the realm and seek the food before Rex eats him. Hopefully he will find the food before Rex finds him and lives another day. I want to make a UDG for t...

Re: Cheap Joystick Interface

What if you would connect the inputs of the 74ls32 direct to the inputs on the 74ls244?
I think it is possible when set correctly to eliminate the 74ls32 from the circuit, lowering costs even more.

Edit: you need an adressline and read.
With 2 diodes and a resistant you can built 1 or-gate too.
