Hi there, I've recently I've finally managed to update my 610 for a 710, just to give a bit more, (StrongARM out of budget and OS ROM version out of reach at the moment.!). I've got a 486 in the second slot at the moment, but is it possible to put my 610 in the second slot? If it's even possible is ...

I recall a Rembrandt self portrait on the Pro Artisan disc

oh my, that's fantastic, One of deathmonks best...I was thinking about this on a beeb, but this is pretty close.

Daniel's right about the cf/sd to IDE being uncertain, but I can confirm this one works in my 3020

if you decide to give it a go.

Great - I'm in - full weekend with kit please Hi Robert, I'd finally got round to booking the hotel up to stay, just double checked with the mrs.... I've been double booked. Apprently i'll be in Corsica with a heavy heart i'm going to have to withdraw... :cry: I'm really gutted.. **Heads Up though*...

I've dusted off the Master now, and I've been suitably blown away by how impressive and beautiful it is! My two boys played it for most of the afternoon and nearly completed Level 2. I'm running it from MMFS and, as mentioned, I needed to *UNPLUG 9 otherwise it hangs to a black screen during the lo...

What version of MMFS are you using? Sure, is there a way to check from the machine? *HELP should show you. Can you also double check with *ROMS that DFS really is present. One last question (in case it makes a difference) is do you have a floppy drive attached? It's v1.36, ROM 9 is there and insert...

I've been playing with a MMFS in 8 but never bothered unplugging 9. It works fine. It may be that i've *CO.FILE 8 set This is very weird.... I've just double checked (three times) and on my Master it definitely hangs if I don't unplug DFS. I'm also using *CONFIGURE FILE 8. What version of MMFS are ...

Hi Kieran, It's also worth noting that as Prince of Persia uses OSWORD A=&7F to do direct disk accesses, it's only possible to use MMFS (in ROM 8) if DFS (ROM 9) is unplugged. Otherwise DFS tries to handle the OSWORD calls, and everything hangs (with a black screen). Dave I've been playing with...

Well done again chaps. I think next is for me to get a crt hooked up. Then it should look even better!

I'm reprogramming the palette every 16 scan lines, but to make it work with our without NuLA, I'm programming all the colours I need up front and then using the usual palette swaps. To get the magenta logs to be brown in the top half, I set flashing magenta/X to be brown and leave magenta alone so ...

it's not philips, but is amber for a beeb

I'm trying to support NuLA without the ROM, but it involves some compromises as I have only 1 byte spare when running! Yellow logs or Cyan logs or don't support NuLA without the ROM! The other option would be to make the magenta "grass" on either side of the road either yellow or cyan. ar...

Yes, I had the same concerns re-capping a philips monitor last year. They have got smaller

I understand the biggest weakness on the 32x are those internal ribbon cables, they can look connected when not. it might be worth running a meter either sides to check continuity. I'm sure you've already looked, but this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEXw6f6VKX0 seems similar to your problem.

I've just started looking at VideoNULA (yes I know, I haven't even installed mine yet! and it was one of the early ones). This is an update to my Frogger game, which hopefully is still compatible with everything (same .ssd NuLA or not), including burning $.frogger as a ROM. I haven't tested it on h...

It's been a while but blew the dust of this port. it's come along. There are a few bugs to tackle but it's nearly there

You've got the AV pass through cables all set correctly?

Um. What are you porting from? If it's not using the Acorn 1280x1024 co-ordinate system, presumably it's also not using the Acorn MOVE/DRAW/PLOT commands, so you're going to have to do a certain amount of translation anyway. Is performance absolutely critical? If not, you could just define procedur...

Just a quickie, i'm porting a basic program and as you know the beeb has a system o 1280x1024. My question is can it be changed and still interpretted correctly?, Yes I could add scale factors, but there are LOTS to change, just changing the coords would be much easier. I thought VDU 29 might help, ...

Hi,

Just trying to finish my electron collection, picked up a nice condition in polys but don't have the cardboard picture sleeve.

Does anyone have a spare? or would be able to scan one for me (I know its a strange shape but i'd be happy to stitch images back together)

thanks

Thanks for the heads up, half a kilo arrived this morning, based on how much I use should keep me going indefinitely. I pretty much only repair old stuff that will already be lead-based. I thought I best get some before the respectable retailers get their acts together. Though I suspect china will k...

just to iterate the other guys, i've had this message from carts due to dirty contacts, on the machine and the cart.

Your best bet is something like everygamegoing.com (which i think belongs to a stardot member, dave ?) for example:- monkey nuts has a good tape scan http://www.everygamegoing.com/egg/landingItem/index/machine_type_group_default_folder/electron/publisher_folder/bugbyte/format_folder/tapes/item_title...

A reworded memory of Aldershot has returned though: wasn't there also a shop that specialised in secondhand hardware somewhere on what a map tells me is the A323, shortly after the roundabout? I remember fantasy browsing in there. Definitely also did software, but I think less obviously? Was it one...

Monsters was a fine clone of Space Panic, Planetoid was an ok Defender, etc. There were lots of good conversions. But there's a very obvious reason they don't get mentioned in a "most disappointing conversions" thread. (-8 I can still remember the exciting panic and terror of being five a...

Lovely Stuff Kieran, or should I say, Prince of Paddington!

Eventually, I took all the major chips and plugged them into a working beeb. These all tested faulty: :shock: - 1 x 6502 - completely dead - 1 x 6502 - actually boots but then hangs with garbage on the screen - 3 x 6522 VIAs dead (only 1 of the 4 is working) - 1 x CRT Controller - 1 x Video ULA - 1...

I seem to think there may have been a Micro User type in for this?

Is this it? http://www.acornelectron.co.uk/mags/mu/cats/mu016.html
