Re: Dragon articles from Electronics & Computing Monthly

I did a test download of the EPROM blower and it worked OK, but just in case it's a file size problem I've split the EPROM blower upload into 2 zip files. One file contains the ROM, JPG pictures of the EPROM programmer and the PDF of the article, the other zip contains the hi-res PNG scans of the pa...

Re: Alldream(XRoar)wav<--->Alldream(real Dragon)wav, Errors.

OKay Dokay, got my Alldream cartridge made and tested it to see how it works with XRoar Alldream (rom) created files. Well, guess what, the real Dragon cartridge Alldream will load XRoar Alldream files and vise-versa. It looks like the rom & cassette versions of Alldream (from the download section) ...

Re: Alldream(XRoar)wav<--->Alldream(real Dragon)wav, Errors.

For example, if you were using cartridge Alldream and had done the usual CLEAR200,20001 then a really conservative CSAVEM"WHATEVS",&H4E21,&H7FFF,&HC000 would be sure to save all your source (but includes any unused memory too). It can be loaded back with the same CLEAR followed by CLOADM and EXEC t...

Re: Alldream(XRoar)wav<--->Alldream(real Dragon)wav, Errors.

Try the attached (experimental) patched copy of the Alldream cartridge version under XROAR. Thanks, but the file it created still won't load onto a real Dragon (works OK in XRoar); it finds the file name then displays the E error and when finished loading displays about 6 lines of question marks. I...

Re: Alldream(XRoar)wav<--->Alldream(real Dragon)wav, Errors.

... try (under emulation) typing POKE144,2 Same version of Alldream both sides? ...might need to see an example wav. Tried the POKE, both ways, and it didn't work. I'm using the Alldream ROM in XRoar, and a separate PC (as a glorified tape recorder/player) to load the cassette version of Alldream o...
