Re: Colossal Cave Adventure

Thank you. I look forward to trying it out.

Did the original need a 64k Dragon, or is this a result of removing the copy protection?

Re: The CoCo Crew Podcast

John and the rest of the CoCo Crew, thanks for your podcast. You will be missed but it's understandable that the time and effort required to produce a podcast does take its toll. However look at it this way, you managed to produce more episodes than Dragon User produced magazine issues, that's some ...

The download archive has changed a bit since I last looked. Here's the current direct link to the downloads:

Re: Dragon 64 motherboard replacement

When the CoCoSDC is connected via the Oojamaflip, it seems to initially boot okay but then won't load anything from the SD card, and just gives a "BT error" when a load command is entered. Not sure what that means yet, and have to keep reminding myself it's probably not a Bluetooth or British Telec...

Re: Posting issues

I have a different issue. For the last few days whenever I submit a post the post goes through but instead of being redirected back to the thread I get a blank page instead.

Re: XRoar video debug builds

A quick test shows that the MC-10 and CoCo 3 issues appear fixed. (Aside: how on earth did win32 get so popular? It's ridiculously manual in everything it does - I've had to write my own layout engine just to make editing the dialog layouts easiers) That's Microsoft for you, the giddy heights of pro...

Re: XRoar video debug builds

Right, I've played around and found a few issues with both the 32 and 64 bit Windows versions. The MC-10 has a pink screen when both Composite Rendering > Simulated and TV Input > Composite (blue-red) or Composite (red-blue) is selected. Both CoCo 3 NTSC and PAL screens have the vertical pixels doub...

Re: XRoar video debug builds

The TV options are fun, you can get some truly atrocious screens! But in all seriousness, a colour control would be nice. Whenever I was facing a long session using the text screen I always turned the TV's colour down to b/w - far more restful for the eyes.
