Re: DragonMMC

I have a cracked version of Buzzard Bait in a.cas file that should work fine as it doesnt require the dongle. :) Chris, my comment wasn't about obtaining a cracked version of Buzzard Bait (after all the archive holds a copy) it was instead a suggestion for testing Phill's DragonMMC, in a 'let's sug...

David Linsley's Dragon History mentions the MSX Dragon, just search for MSX if you don't want to read the whole article (though you really should read all of it).

Re: The spinx512 board for FUZIX

The board looks amazing, though looking at the screen-shots I reckon a real time clock with battery back-up wouldn't go amiss.

Re: Help please

I'm a little confused, do you have a problem running XRoar or is your problem transferring programs from your PC to a Dragon? If it is the latter and you are attempting to load cassette programs then the first thing you need is a wave file of the program. There are a number available in the archive ...

Re: DragonMMC

Is DragonMMC restricted to emulating just one version of DOS or could it have several which a user can swap between? Pere has done the most work in examining the various DOSes, alongside his DOSplus recommendation may I also point out his v. 1.3 DragonDOS ROMs , should greater DragonDOS compatibilit...

The Ring of Darkness - An Unofficial Disk Version

There is an unofficial disk version of The Ring of Darkness on Games_17 disk available for download at Dragon Computer Consultancy . Unfortunately it is full of bugs that prevent it from working properly, so inspired by this attempt I have created a disk version that can be played to completion. To ...

Re: Hello from Norfolk!

This is a bit of a coincidence as I had just read your very similar article at The Register which gave me a reminder that I hadn't visited the Dragon Archive today, so I pop over here and what do I find? The very person who wrote the article posting on the forum! As others have already said, welcome...
