Re: Dragon Beta OS-9 disks

Whilst on the subject of floppy images I noticed there's a couple of VDK's in the archive that are single density:
- Dynafast v1.5 (1984)(Compusense Ltd)[!][FLEX]
- Forth Compiler (1985)(NDUG)[!][DELTA]
How can these be supported when the VDK format assumes 18 sector tracks?

Dragon Beta OS-9 disks

I'm trying to get the Dragon Beta OS-9 disks from the archive running in MAME, are they known to be good and have they been tested in any way? These are all DMK images and according to the specification the maximum track size is 0x2940 but all images are actually 0x2980. MAME doesn't yet support sin...

Re: MAME - Sound Extension Module

Just noticed there's also the sample program provided with the cartridge in the archive, a quick test and sounds good :)

Re: Dunjunz beta1

This is a great conversion, looks and feels like the original. I really enjoyed the BBC original but it was released a little too late for me to spend any significant time playing it.

Well done!

Thanks, having never actually used a Dragon I wasn't aware of SHIFT+ENTER.

Re: MAME - Dragon 200-E

We're any of these additional characters actually typeable on the keyboard, such as the lowercase?

Re: MAME - Speech Synthesis Module

I see from adverts in 1984 that JCB also made a combined Speech/Sound cartridge, which is probably similar to the one from Tandy. Do we have any info and a ROM for this?

Re: Introducing myself

Hi, your data schemas for your emulation framework sound interesting, and would like to know more.

Re: MAME - Dragon 200-E

I'm almost there with this, but struggling with the semi-graphic colours. Any ideas as to what I'm missing here?

Re: MAME - Sound Extension Module

Thanks, I struggled with loading the WAV so converted it to CAS with XROAR.

It sounds great so I think I'm done with this :)
