BTW: on the real tano everything runs faster, see the calixto clock ticking. What could explain that ? I felt the overall system too. This is caused by the following test added to the start of the Dragon BASIC keyboard routine . BBEE 8E0151 LDX #$0151 BBF1 7FFF02 CLR $FF02 BBF4 F6FF00 LDB $FF00 BBF...

Try the attached (experimental) patched copy of the Alldream cartridge version under XROAR.

Which version of Alldream (Cartridge or Cassette) are you using?

The Dream assembler always resets the cassette header tone length to only 4 bytes. See the October 1984 issue of Dragon User (Dragon Answers) for more information.

Hahahahahaha. I've never thought of something so simple - that's genius!!!

That method of preventing a cartridge from auto-starting has been widely used by Dragon owners for many years. It was mentioned here in 2010.

Try the following BASIC program to check that the joystick emulation is working correctly on your machine.

I use the True-USB PRO GQ-4X Willem Programmer. I have found it to be very reliable.

All of the CoCo basXX (Color BASIC) ROMs can be run by themselves, but not the extbasXX (Extended Color BASIC) ROMs.

All of the ROMs work perfectly on my PC with XROAR running on Windows XP Pro. Just out of interest; does this "ready to go" installation of XROAR work OK on your machine?
