@jedie Looking at the log you're getting the same 'Handler #0 has died' problem I was getting. I must not mount a disk in slot 0 with real hardware. It took me days to figure this out. One of the disks needs to be associated with a file. It could be any number, not necessarily 0. When it works, you ...

Hope someone will attempt to begin such a hardware project. I haven't been a member for very long so I've missed out on quite a lot but I remember reading somewhere that prime had an rgb board for the Acorn that he was hoping to try on the Dragon. I made my own rgb board years ago for a digital mon...

2048 is a tough game, Jim. I like it though

The highest scoring tile I've made so far is a feeble 256.

@pser1 For example, if I run your first PMODE34 program in old and new xroar versions side by side, there is a definite difference in stability in the position of the split line. (Especially if you run a BASIC loop like 10 GOTO 10) But you're right, once we figured out that the scan keyboard routine...

That's brilliant Simon. Cheers for sharing

@sixxie
Clean sheet now. That's pretty impressive

Also pleasing to see that the split screen examples from earlier in this thread now show a similar level of flicker compared to real hardware. Can't be many emulators for any system that have this level of accuracy...

Have you drives in your regular Dragon set? The short answer is no, not yet. The long answer is yes, I've got a number of controllers and drives, but they are stored away and haven't been used in many years and need careful checking and cleaning. I would also like to get one of my 64K upgraded D32s...

Thanks for all this hard work, Pere. I can see great uses for all of these pieces of software, plus they form a handy reference for developing new ones. One thing I noticed is that the filename specified for DLOAD is strictly relative to the DriveWire folder i.e. you can't specify an absolute path l...

After a bit more experimentation I've discovered the effect on the frame sync irq of clr $ff02 is noticeably different to the effect of lda $ff02, but I do think I now understand what is happening. This moment of clarity won't last so I'm writing it down before it fades :) I'm going to pretend the i...

I can confirm the DriveWire adaptor cable and dwload EPROM work really well. It should prove to be a very useful tool and I'm seriously impressed with the amount of effort that's gone into making this happen. You are probably the first DriveWire user who goes straight to DWLOAD without having played...
