Re: Screenshots editing

In IrfanView, press C to open the capture window. Select option 4 - Capture window client area. No manual editing required, only resizing if you feel like it. Can't be simpler. I never knew you could do that in IrfanView. I always used the Alt+PrintScreen, switch to IrfanView, Ctr+V, Shift+C to cro...

Re: XRoar: Joystick emulation?

Moreover, how does one get a screenshot from XRoar? I'm not sure how I managed this when I did some work for the Wiki, some time back. I might have been using a free PC screen dump program (such as "PrintScreen", from Gadwin Systems), but I'm afraid I just cannot remember any longer! ... I'm now th...

Re: Hungry Horace (Melbourne House version)

I've tried this site's wave of Horace Goes Skiing on my Dragon 32 and found no problems. Craig, I note that you used an LCD screen, I used a CRT TV, could that be the difference?

Re: boxed Dragon 64 + disk drive

What happened to Fatboy's account and why are Fatboy's postings now attributed to Simon? (If you are confused, the first and third posts were by Fatboy, and the fourth post was by Simon.)

Re: Back from the dead

On that note - I may have a massive session of updating soon and put all the stuff in "uploads" into the downloads area.... sometime in next 2 weeks.... In that case please ignore my uploads in this post as I currently have some doubts that all of them will work on a real Dragon. Also, check my pos...

Re: Cannot get Xroar to work on my mac - gutted

With Macs the ROMs go in either '~/Library/XRoar/Roms/' or '~/.xroar/roms/' and it could be that the case is important.

Re: Prince of Persia
