BlitzBasic 2 & MIDI interface ?
« on: December 14, 2011, 10:43:42 PM »
Hi everyone !

I plan to write a piece of software which makes use of a MIDI interface on an A1200.

Is it possible to access such a device (RS232 port then) from a Blitz Basic program in BLITZ mode ?

Cheers !

Cool, thanks for the prompt reply ;) Not installed / used / read the manuals yet, I just had a doubt as I heard the BLITZ mode (and not the AMIGA mode) had restrictions regarding I/Os. But indeed, I guess I can have access to the registers directly !

I have some crazy ideas, but I'll let you know once I have some kind of "working proof of concept" ;-)

Thanks again for the answers. Yeah, I would like to make to best possible use of the Amiga hardware, so I'll stick to BLITZ mode if possible ! I wonder how far one can go without switching to ASM...

Is there some kind of website / mailing list / NG still active nowadays about Amiga development or even Blitz in particular ?

Bump ! :)

Completely put this project aside for a couple of... years apparently :-)

I'll give it another go soon.

Just one question : I have no A1200 anymore but I would like to develop directly from my MiST instead (Minimig core), in order to be fully focus(s)ed on a single task ! ; did any of you guys figure out how to use a MIDI interface on this piece of hardware ?

Meanwhile I wish I could use FS-UAE on my Linux box but apparently it doesn't support MIDI yet... So in the end I might end up using WinUAE through WINE on my Linux box. Sigh ;)
