Neuer dump von Berger: Elite Private Line (EAG Umbau). The chess program is the same as EAG 6081, around 30 bytes different to make it work with the different button layout and rotated board.

See the ones with the dual displays: https://www.schach-computer.info/wik...y_Elite_Privat

Thanks to you and Berger - we already had a Private Line with a single-display in MAME long time ago (and I still have it in my versions).

I have a short question:
Yesterday I've added some code to the supercon and cexpert drivers to show the internal evaluation (from 2 bytes in the RAM).
Currently I'm displaying these values via 'popmessage', but with this method it's not possible to output it anywhere on the layout.
Is there any way to directly send a decimal value (that changes continuously) to the layout so that I can place it there wherever I want?

If this is not possible (and probably it's not, I'm afraid), then an other question:
This evaluation display can be switched ON/OFF in the 'Options > Configuration' menu (with an additional PORT_START("EVAL")). Now if it's switched ON, I would like to increase the height of the layout (bottom="xx") a bit, so that the chessboard is moved up a bit to make place for this popup message (else it overwrites the board).
Is it possible to automatically make such a layout change whenever the user switches this configuration option ON/OFF?

Regards,
Franz

From software point of view, the EAS conversion of Elite Privat / Private Line is identical to the original chesscomputer, hence I never added it to MAME. Today I added an extra view option for it.

Yes it is possible to show a decimal value in the artwork. The undo counter in chess computer drivers is like that. Or see for example the lchicken driver. Your 2nd question: Yes it's also possible I think, but more cumbersome than the other method.

Does someone have a CXG Sphinx Junior? I'd like to hear the beeper pitch and I couldn't find a video on Youtube.

Well, what I see there in the drivers and layouts this 'counter' works only for integer values in a fixed range (e.g. simplecounter maxstate="999" ...), but these position evaluations are decimal numbers like 2.13 or -0.78.

Then multiply by 100 and modulo by 100 to get the number after the decimal point? And for the negative sign make a fake led and draw it as "-" or nothing.

That's way too complicated, but I remembered that the Saitek Renaissance can automatically change the layout (LCD Drawer In/Out), so I've now used this method from your renaissa driver and it works perfectly.

Hallo Franz,


mir ist heute eine Kleinigkeit aufgefallen.
Beim Novag Diablo 68000 werden in Arena die Level gar nicht,oder falsch übergeben.


Noch einen schönen Abend,
Gruß Volker

Hallo Volker,
also da machst (oder verstehst) du irgendwas falsch - hab's gerade nochmal probiert und es funktioniert ohne Probleme.

Und zwischen WinBoard und Arena kann es da auch keinen Unterschied geben, denn die Leveleinstellung macht das Plugin, und das ist für beide GUIs gleich.

Grüße,
Franz

Hallo Franz,


mir war das auf der Turnierstufe A7 aufgefallen.
Auf dieser Stufe blitzt er dann.
