I checked the instruction manual and I understood the following: after printing any Basic program to a text file using LLIST, then translating the text, I should rename my ".txt" file to ".bas" and load it back into "XRoar" with CLOAD, then re-save it to disk. ... Am I right there? Yep, XRoar will ...

That music is pretty neat - sadly the nicest thing I can generally find to say about the game ;) Thought DAMS was in the archive, but I don't see it. Here: http://www.6809.org.uk/tmp/da/dams.cas CLOADM and EXEC for the editor, to try the demo, select <E> load music from tape, and load DEMTEXT, then ...

It's "-lp-file printer-output-filename". You'll attach the vdk as usual, load the BASIC program, then type LLIST - which lists to printer, and XRoar will dump that printer output into the file you specify.

The easiest way to dump ASCII BASIC to file, is to run with "-lp-file filename" and type "LLIST" after loading.

Easiest way to then load it in is to dump the text into a ".asc" file and CLOAD that.

randomrodder's site has a few collections, I just remembered: http://tandycoco.com/rsdos.html I'm not sure how well sorted or annotated any of it is. ftp://os9archive.rtsi.com/ has been around for a while, but most of the fun stuff is under the "incoming" subdirs, and that definitely isn't well cate...

Oops, I couldn't find it either without searching the document for "alt". It's Cursors + Left Alt, and is mentioned in the Getting Started section but, rather unhelpfully, not in the bit about joysticks. Also, another candidate for the HUD - some sort of feedback about which mode is selected is real...

Heh, no, it's a feature. If you hold down fire while moving through that point, you don't teleport. Don't know about a proper archive, but there's a catalogue of mini reviews here: http://nitros9.lcurtisboyle.com/coco_game_list.html Also, the "CoCo 2" isn't the same as "Model 2" - the TRS-80 Model X...

Racer Ball is pretty decent (if you look through archives of CoCo games, you'll find the exact same code has had various facelifts, some more "Pac Man" than others). ISTR it getting quite hard around level 3 though - the power pills wear off almost immediately. I quite like the BASIC (plus helper M/...

I'm not seeing the problem myself - the only configuration I've not tried is using real joysticks (don't have one here), but I can fill in with spacebar using keyboard control or joystick emulation.

Not terribly useful information, but I've built 0.142 for Linux and it seems fine.

Any .cfg files get created when you run it, so it's probably safe to remove any old ones first in case that helps.
