7,16 Mhz Contest Ever wonder if your 7,16 Mhz MSX is really running on 7,16 Mhz? And what if it isn't? Would you want your money back after all those years?
We want to know: On what speed is your MSX running? How would you calculate the Z80 CPU speed. To find out we'll have ourselves a nice little contest. The prize: Kudos, fame and glory! The winner will get his/her code published in MWW #7. The assignment: Write an MSX-DOS program that calculates your current Z80 CPU speed... 1. as fast as possible 2. as accurate as possible 3. in as little memory as possible 4. as original as possible You are allowed to use "external hardware" (like a Philips Music Module or a Sunrise Moonsound cartridge) to make use of high resolution timers, as long as the external hardware is: a) an MSX cart; b) the MSX cart is not a homebrew hardware project. Note: You WILL get penalty points when using external hardware so make sure that by doing so you get bonuspoints for speed, accuracy and/or originality! You can submit several programs if you want to. Entries will be judged by MWW. MWW judges can submit entries but can't judge their own programs. Submissions Every submission should contain: 1. name, age, gender, city, country 2. programming language used 3. a working .COM file 4. sourcecode in .txt format 5. a textfile with a description on how the CPU time is calculated Send your entries to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Submit your entries before: 30 - 08 - 2006 Good luck!
