Re: XRoar video debug builds

A quick test shows that the MC-10 and CoCo 3 issues appear fixed. (Aside: how on earth did win32 get so popular? It's ridiculously manual in everything it does - I've had to write my own layout engine just to make editing the dialog layouts easiers) That's Microsoft for you, the giddy heights of pro...

Re: XRoar video debug builds

Right, I've played around and found a few issues with both the 32 and 64 bit Windows versions. The MC-10 has a pink screen when both Composite Rendering > Simulated and TV Input > Composite (blue-red) or Composite (red-blue) is selected. Both CoCo 3 NTSC and PAL screens have the vertical pixels doub...

Re: XRoar video debug builds

The TV options are fun, you can get some truly atrocious screens! But in all seriousness, a colour control would be nice. Whenever I was facing a long session using the text screen I always turned the TV's colour down to b/w - far more restful for the eyes.

Re: Posting issues

Also, I can't actually see Giranda's last post in topic 11061 unless I append &start=2 to offset page 1 of the results. Before I replied, it cut off at the message above and didn't show that there should be a page 2. Now there is a page 2, but it only has my reply! Edit: &start=9 seems to start wit...

Re: Dragon Invaders dodgy tape

If a previous owner had saved it to the tape could they have used the wrong CSAVEM values?

Re: Unknown Dragon Star Trek Game.

It appeared on the 1984 version of the infamous tape, as can be seen on the wiki entry : http://archive.worldofdragon.org/images/0/05/Cassette50_Screenshot06.png I did not recognise it as I played/suffered* the 1983 version which has a different Star Trek game: http://archive.worldofdragon.org/image...

Re: XRoar1.3 v32bits problem downloading

I did send xroar-1.2-w32 to Avast/AVG. They updated their definition files so that their virus checkers no longer flagged that version of XRoar, I am surprised that they continue to flag later versions of XRoar. Anyway, I am not sure if it is worth creating 32-bit Windows versions any more. XRoar no...

Re: MXT I/O Controller

Robcfg I think I have the necessary cables and a copy of Audacity on my PC, just need you to step me through the process because it's not something I've done before. It should be similar to when I dumped the ROM from the DASM/DEMON cartridge - see Steve's (zepher) instructions at https://archive.wo...

Re: XRoar 1.1 released

VirusTotal shows that two vendors claim a problem - the sister companies Avast and AVG, so in reality just one vendor since they share the same virus definitions - so I am pretty confident that it is a false positive.
