It's a letter asking him to keep him informed on the progress of SR3.

Interesting what Peter Irvin says - I wonder what other things they couldn't implement in Exile apart from a bigger ending? Anything from Peter Scott? With no disrespect to the other amazing programmers, especially the ones who post here such as Kevin Edwards and Angus Duggan, these are the two -Irv...

Hope not.

The A3000 was called a BBC computer for some strange reason.

What does that do?

Thank you so much, it's amazing

I was despairing with ArcEm, not working at all, so I was really happy to find Arculator.
Getting a hard disk image installed was not documented but I found the info elsewhere so now I can access my old A310 files.

Thank you!

Do you mind sharing how?

There's a fast circle routine in ARM code on p.257 of Terry Blunt's Archimedes Game Maker's Manual which apparently doesn't use polar calculations. Not sure I ever understood it.

I've configured the latest version for A3010, IDE module and 40MB HD. However the hard disc icon is greyed out.

yet Graham Richardson wrote Nevyron.

What's the most recent version of 6502em for A3010? I had v.3.03.

just having a look though my old A3010 for a fgame I wrote. Is the Archimsoftware preservation project still a ctive?

There's also a lot of 8bit and 32bit sampled-n magazine tapes, type-ins games and demos.

Colourful as snapper.

Sorry CMOS. It has one but I'm assuming expired long ago.

Having turned on and tuned in my A3010 I get bad configure option error number &DC. Can I get it to work without a working CMPS?

Hopefully when I get back home.

That would be much appreciated by all. Would it be possible to get a 600dpi scan for our preservation archives?

Any news about this (the cover scan)?

Should be with you and Multiwizard now.

Unless technically adept then it seems best way for small data is to find an old PC with a floppy and USB port for a stick.

Which Gotek product works?

I've helped and contributed a lot including programming that I'm capable of, every previous game I've spent hours and months on myself - one still waiting to be uploaded on BBC micro.co.uk - and knowledge of history. Your attitude is deeply disgusting and hypocritical.

How is possible to download (wget?) the whole site http://bbcmicro.co.uk/ for offline gaming for my vacations at a mountain without WiFi?

This should probably be answered really as it's about backups.

Think I understand most of that thanks. Can I ask how shadow RAM is/would be addressed?

Thanks. So 256k+16K theoretical max or 512K?
Shadow Ram I recall is the same RAM used as screen memory.

Interesting about the speech ROM. I assume this was not writable. Where did the Kenneth Kendall thing go -external box? Would the ROMs have been for increased vocab?

Just wanted to understand fully the ROM/RAM expandility of the BBC B based on limited knowledge acquired before. - the Beeb has 2 spare slots. These can be SRAM or shadow RAM or ROM. - the RAMs are selectable with a flag. The flags permit a theoretical max of 128K RAM. This is achievable with an ext...

In 6502em you could access the host RISC OS as if it was Beeb FS. In Beebit you could open the disc image into a RISC OS file window.
In Mac Beebem I can copy clipboard but that's all it seems.

Well found well done , many thanks. I posted the actual demo at one point and someone, phlamethrower I think, couldntget it to work. Regarding the map I think I settled with a more complex map with several blocked off areas after learning that Exile had to open up certain map areas. So close to an E...

What was great about Beeb emulators on RISC OS was being able to open up a disc image in the desktop and edit or manipulate the files. Also you could click on an exec file to launch. The downside was they could be too slow for older CPUs.

Once I did a game demo of a man flying about a cave generated by a pseudo random algorithm in a 640x256 or x512 256col screennmode on the RiscPC. I posted it on iconbar.com with screenshots but since can't locate it. I was trying to add particle effects but put it aside when work came along. I don't...

I remember that. The next year Acorn Computing and the BbC subscription disc were gone.

When my "new" A3010 arrived recently I found it pretty unusable with 2mb, IDE podule and Universal Boot. It really needs 4mb to be a fun machine to use. My A310 was already up to 4mb by the early 90's, by the time the A3010 came along it was sporting a Arm3 and 8mb as I was finding having only 4mb ...

What's the best emulator for it?

Saloon Cars
Iron Lord
Darkwood -or was that later?
