This is a port of the Artemio's 240p Test suite for Colecovision consoles, MSX 1/2/2+ computers, and Sega SG1000 consoles. It is a software suite developed to help in the evaluation of capture cards, upscalers, upscan converters, line doublers, and of course TV processing of 240p video and scaled signals.

The original 240p Test Suite is available at https://github.com/ArtemioUrbina/240pTestSuite

More info about the 240p Test Suite is available at https://junkerhq.net/240p/

• Colecovision
  • Load the file suitecv.rom in your favorite Colecovision emulator (BlueMSX, OpenMSX or CoolCV).
  • Load the file suitecv.rom into a flash cartridge like the AtariMAX Ultimate SD Colecovision cartridge.
  • Program the file suitecv.rom onto a 32K cartridge PCB.
• MSX 1/2/2+ (SCC mapper)
  • Load the file suitemsx.rom in your favorite MSX emulator (BlueMSX, OpenMSX, Meisei, fMSX)
  • Load the file suitemsx.rom into a flash cartridge like the MSX MegaFlash SD cartridge or the Carnivore 2 cartridge.
• Sega SG1000.

Detailed usage instructions are in the Suite_manual.md file.

For assembling yourself the source code, you require gasm80 available freely from https://github.com/nanochess/gasm80

You only need to assemble the file suite.asm and it includes all the other required files (edit the COLECO, MSX or SG1000 label accordingly).

There are some batch files coming from the development environment (WinXP) that create the required images (images.bat) and assemble the code (e.bat).

Other utilities required are Pletter to compress the VDP data, and TMSColor to convert the bitmaps to the VDP format. Both are included in source code form.
