I think Retro Clinic has a kit for this.

Very impressive, very exciting.

Very well done.

I got my Elk for my birthday at the end of October 83. My father drove all the way from Lowestoft to Bury St Edmunds to get it. Unfortunately I sold it when bought my first PC around 90\91.

Looking forward to it.

One of my favourite Sci-fi childhood tv series. Watched every episode. Always very disappointed with the ending, but it did leave an opening for another series sometime in the future. B7, Baker Dr Who, sapphire and steel, the tomorrow people etc... What a great period.

Looked at the manual and I didn't see something for RGB selection per source. Might be worth trying some of the things suggest in this page https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/tro ... art-cables.

the silly program sets page to &D00 and loads a basic program there, not very cleaver

Yep, just saw that in the second file\program of the UEF "Nightworld". If you remove this it loads happily with Plus 1. Why did they do this?

And how to change the UEF?

Or (after looking at documentation of BeebEm), type "?" and get the list of commands. #-o E33C : BNE E365 >? Debugger commands : bclear n - clear breakpoint n or breakpoint at n bclearr n - clear read breakpoint n or read breakpoint at n bclearw n - clear write breakpoint n or write breakpoint at n ...

Maybe if you tell us the make\model of tv we can check the manual (if available online) how to enable RGB on the Scart socket. I think on Samsung TV there is a RGB selection item on the settings menu. It's good pointer for me to check now as I want to buy a new TV\monitor for my Acorn machines and d...

I'm looking for a guide\documentation to the debugger of the Elkulator. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I can confirm that Alligata - Electron NightWorld UEF does not work with the Plus 1 enabled. I checked this using ElectrEM and Elkulator. The loader crashes at line 32: 32 NEXT:COLOUR2:CLS:*LO."World 2" Good news is a DFS version of the game works from www.acronelectron.co.uk UEF Nightworld.zip DFS ...

Great stuff. Any thoughts on the Electron User Guide? The only copies I have are of a poor scan in pdf and a tatty copy bought from eBay.

Thanks! Nice job

Why not go with a more liberal license like LGPL or even MIT or Apache?

this is pointless as all games are on SSD anyways :roll: there is only about 4 games that need a E00 dfs, If think it’s more than four games. When I compare the number of dfs disks with ADFS disks from acornelectron.co.uk there’s quite a difference. If you have a GoSDC configured only for DFS i.e. ...

The only problem with UPURS is the need for a pc from which to send the files. An ideal solution would be a raspberry pi with some additional commands to list the files on the pi and initiate the transfer. Nice idea that. Could make that into some sort of datacentre for the Electron supporting both...

I’m guessing you are an Electron owner. If you are worried about finding software on disk I would recommend you visit http://www.acornelectron.co.uk/ and consider buying the DVD. It has a huge collection of software in UEF (tapes), SSD\DSD (DFS file system) and ADF (ADFS file system).

So many games to choose from. Some first thoughts:- Elite - There are some major differences between the Beeb and Elk tape versions. Football Manager - No mode 7 on the Elk so major difference for matches. I was some what disappointed with the Elk version after having seen the Beeb version. Planetoi...

If you have a disk interface fitted already, you'll find the gotek to be the most "compatible" solution as so far as the beeb's concerned it's a normal floppy disk drive. I agree. More money (as a prebuild kit) but pretty much heading to be the defacto standard as a cross-retro-platform type device...

On another note, I've solved my hanging issue too. Press f0 to start; not space or enter!!!

Not a bad idea to get the function key strip. You can download it from here http://www.8bs.com/othrdnld/manuals/functionkeys.shtml

Micro SPI MMC - RetroClinic
Turbo MMC - IFEL

I've always wondered what the differences are between these two devices to try to determine what are the pros and cons.

Very impressive. Very well done.

Welcome fellow Electron User.

One thing I did notice with superform on the Elk that creating new LUNs results in a slightly different LUN size on the SD card from the quick start LUN. E.g. Quick Start LUN: 524,140 KB, while creating LUNs with superform results in 524,172 KB. Why go to all the trouble of creating LUNs - I just c...

I'm not sure if the BUG affects the BeebSCSI (anyone know?) I've not seen it - but there again I've not been looking for it!! Not seen it myself as well. Likewise I've not been looking for it. One thing I did notice with superform on the Elk that creating new LUNs results in a slightly different LU...

I like to use sub-dirctories on disks, I thought that ADFS would make thisd possible. But reading the forum with regards to ADFS, there are some that do not like it. There are directories in DFS in a limited way. Directories The directory is a single character used to divide the catalogue into inde...

The E00 electron ADFS needs to be loaded into two banks of sideways RAM, but doesn't have SCSI support.

Always wondered how you can set that up automatically to happen from boot.

Hi there! I'm quite a newbie BBC Micro user. Bought a Beeb B with an SD card adapter that connects to the User port and uses MMFS. I tried 4 different versions of Elite: two was "preinstalled" in the MMB file, original Elite and some Tube version... in case of both, when I would jump to another sys...

Hi, What is the best version of ADFS that can be used on the Pegasus board? Acorn ADFS v1.0 works fine with Pegasus. I have this and works fine. There is PRES E00 ADFS v3.31 Rom https://www.stairwaytohell.com/roms/homepage.html , but I don't know if it works with the Pegasus as I've never tried it....
