Utility to decode a PrintShop / MiniPix 88x52 monochrome imag written
|
||
|
|
in 6502 assembly language for the Apple \]\[.
|
||
|
|
By default MiniPix are loaded at $5800. File size is 572 ($23C).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From UseNet this question was asked: PrintShop graphics to DHR?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I really like this "puzzle" as there are 6 variations:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a) MiniPixToSrcBufHGR (Over-writes source minipix)
|
||
|
|
b) MiniPixToDstBufHGR (Unpacks to different buffer)
|
||
|
|
c) MiniPixToScreenHGR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
d) MiniPixToSrcBufDHGR (Over-writes source minipix)
|
||
|
|
e) MiniPixToDstBufDHGR (Unpacks to different buffer)
|
||
|
|
f) MiniPixToScreenDHGR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I was bored this weekend so I whipped up an implementation for:
|
||
|
|
(c) MiniPixToScreenHGR:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pros
|
||
|
|
====
|
||
|
|
+ Unpacks directly to the HGR screen
|
||
|
|
+ Doesn't need any secondary buffers
|
||
|
|
+ Source MiniPix image is left untouched
|
||
|
|
+ Image is perfectly centered both horizontally and vertically
|
||
|
|
(If you don't care about perfectly centered horizontally by being shifted
|
||
|
|
over 1 pixel to the left then you can shave off 166 - 157 = 9 bytes. You
|
||
|
|
will also need to fixup the Column2ColorHGR table.)
|
||
|
|
+ Uses correct 2:3 aspect ratio
|
||
|
|
+ Technically, the HGR screen does NOT need to be initialized, however it DOES
|
||
|
|
call HGR @ $F3E2 though to in order to initialize a few zero page variables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Meh
|
||
|
|
===
|
||
|
|
o Uses a 7 byte look-up table for pixel doubling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cons
|
||
|
|
====
|
||
|
|
- Uses a crap ton of zero page variables -- 16 in total:
|
||
|
|
$1C, $26, $27, $30, $E4 .. $E6, $F7 .. $FF
|
||
|
|
- Requires Applesoft ROM to be banked in as it uses 2 ROM entry points:
|
||
|
|
HGR, HPOSN.
|
||
|
|
- Code size is 152 bytes. (Demo is 166 bytes.)

It expects a PrintShop MiniPix (572 bytes) to be loaded at $5800.
