I will probably drop in on this one. philpem has kindly agreed to give a talk at next week's RISC OS London Show about archiving, so it's probably a good idea for me to get a bit better informed!

In that classic bug report reply - it works when I try it!

Although it is messing with my mind that you put the test that way round rather than UNTIL ?F%=0

How are you writing the CD on Windows - which software and what options? If you've just drag and dropped onto the CD then I think Windows writes in packet format (kind of a FAT filesystem on CD), which RISC OS can't read. You need to write it in ISO9660 format, in one session, and closed. (sorry, lo...

whenever I set the new monitor: "Filing system ADFS: must be given a filename". I don't see any field where I can give a filename. Could it be that it tries to save the new settings but fails? That error suggests that some part of your boot process has not completed correctly, leaving a system vari...

Could be worth asking over on the ROOL forum as there are a lot of RISC OS users there who now use a newer machine and might have an unused RiscPC.

Looking at the PDF, there is an error on the very first proper line of the program (line 30)! It should say: ON ERROR GOTO 2660 Now if you had got that line correct, then any errors in the program will jump to the error handler at line 2660 which prints the error message. Check those lines very care...

An open equivalent would be: DeskPi Pro + Free 3D game engine + an Acorn Emulator

If you're going down that line you might be better looking at one of the many RISCOSbits case options.

That was fun! Thanks for staying awake, peeps

Yes it was fun! Thanks for giving up 6 (or was it 7!) hours of your time

Video to follow, but might take a while to edit it down a bit...(good luck Leo!)

Via the ROUGOL contact address I've been offered a CHROMA 200 SERIES Video Genlock and Overlay card for Acorn A3000 and a Hama Video-Mixer VM-516 Stereo, available for free collection from north London. Anyone interested drop me a PM and I'll pass on the contact details.

Welcome to the forum from your local user group!

Although if the program is asking you to enter the filename, then can you simply enter ":1.file" when prompted and not need to edit the program at all?

I'd like to drop in, probably won't make the start but hopefully be there in time for Kieran's interruptions

I'll be there from around 1pm until closing time

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. We these definitely disc images? Working with the files insi...
