Emuladores de Ajedrez de MESS

(...)At the moment I'm not reverse engineering any other chess computer... So... In my humble opinion, we can wait a little while!

Well... I'm not... but 'yovan' doesn't stop contributing, and 'hap' has already emulated another Fidelity!

Ok, so here's this new SC6 - Fidelity Sensory Chess Challenger 6 ...

There's one thing that is a bit strange: in MAME this SC6 is implemented with an I8040/11MHz CPU,
but all sources in the internet say that the SC6 has a Z80/4MHz CPU!?
So either the internet sources are wrong, or there existed different versions of this machine.

Since there were already many updates for the last version, this time I've created a full package again,
so all previous uploads are no longer necessary.
CB-Emu_2017:

(link for the necessary ROMs is in the file 'ROMs.txt'!)

And I've also made a realistic 2D-artwork for this SC6, so here's again a new full package (making all previous versions obsolete)

Hello cbf,
the link of roms does not exists, maybe you wrote bad...

No, the link is correct!
I've just tried it again a few minutes ago and it worked,
so maybe you'va done anything wrong.

As 'Achim' has commented in the Schachcomputer.info forum...

https://www.schachcomputer.info/forum/s ... hp?p=66391

...It seems that this is an error on Wikipedia. And as 'CBF' has commented below, the same (wrong) information appears on different web sites because (probably) it has been copied from the Wikipedia.

HI
the info about the fidelity SC6 is correct in MAME.
i bought one SC6, opened it, dumped it and sent to MAME (Hap).

so there is some mistakes in schach-computer and, more generally,on Internet.
it isn't the first mistake i found.

many sites duplicates infos taken elsewhere and myself, when i started , i based my work on thoses infos.
but many times, what i found that real boards was a bit different of what was written on the net (size of RAM, clock frequency, binary,...).

regards.

Yes, it is my case too. Schachcomputer.info-Wiki does not have to be taken as a holy book. It is built between us all, and with each passing day it becomes more complete and more precise its information.

However we must bear in mind that, sometimes, the same computer model has different hardware inside.

Hi,

since Zippyshare links usually don't live very long, I've now also put the CB-Emu project on my own website:
https://fhub.jimdo.com/

The link on this site leads to my cloud folder containing all necessary files for CB-Emu (program, ROMs and Artworks2D) -
be aware that this is no new version, it's just a permanent download location for the previous CB-Emu 2017 version!

Hi,

there's a new CB-Emu version (30.5.2017) on my homepage:
http://fhub.jimdo.com/

Changes:
--------
1) new module: Constellation Forte A
2) selectable CPU frequency for following models:
- Super Constellation (4/8/16/18 MHz)
- Constellation Forte (5/10 MHz)
- Super Forte & Expert (5/6/7/8/9/10 MHz)

Hi CBF,

thanks for this!
I checked the 1986 Novag catalog, it reports a 4Mhz clock speed for Constellation Forte; while the 1987 one reports Constellation Forte B to benefit from 5Mhz.
As you master selectable CPU frequency configuration , it would be great to enable the 4Mhz setting for Forte A (I assume it is the 1986 first version, so-named once the B was delivered).
Kind regards, Tibono
