Hopefully, all the games posted in this thread are now correct.

Think that's been said before

Welcome.

I've moved your question into this forum because I think it's probably better in here.

If you have a look down the topics there may be something that helps already (e.g. the Kevin Edwards magazine articles).

Good luck!

Well, lesson learned, you must keep proper backups like the rest of us

The URL it linked to looked a bit suspect - so I tweaked and tweaked and result! Try this link instead: https://www.4corn.co.uk/archive/qdbug/Vertical%20Twist%20-%20QDBug%20Manual.pdf Basically the +s should be changed into spaces. WRONG URL: https://www.4corn.co.uk/archive//qdbug/Vertical+Twist+-+Q...

So, emailed the three files back to Dave, job done.

So the day has been saved? That's fantastic

1000GB drive and it seems I can get the exact same model for only 40 quid ... I don't think they do SSD drives that big yet

They do, but it won't be 40 quid! And if the machine is that old, not sure about connectors etc. (but no doubt there'd be adaptors.)

Don't know why I'm so surprised ... Raspberry Pi Zero Ws, 1TB SSDs and so on. Getting old I suppose!

1288 bad sectors now! I wish I could find out where they were, ie. in which partitions. ... So that's not normal either. Sounds like it is failing fast. I'd recommend turning it off (or maybe just leaving it exactly as is - even an off/on again might be too much?) and leaving it until you've got so...

only £10

Is that for brand new? Don't store anything too valuable on there!

Maybe I'm just being too cynical but that seems too good to be true.

Bad sectors could after all be real bad e.g. failing sectors, to me it sounds like you need to replace the disk ... replace it with an SSD +1 to all that. From my experience it's not a good idea to tolerate bad sectors - it's a real warning that the drive is going to fail. You might get away with t...

I've not got much time these days, nor (m)any ideas, and certainly haven't contributed much in the way of code, so it's good for sad people like me to be able to contribute something (money!) if it can be worked out. I've chipped in in the past for getting stuff off eBay so that sort of thing seems ...

Nice little set-up.

What's the cart under Hopper?

The man deserves more kudos than anyone could possibly give him just for his service and work and the ability to get product to people far away, in an unscathed condition time after time.

Seconded!

Unwrapping stuff from RetroClinic is like being a kid at Christmas again.

I usually do that for login pages but that's a bit different - you HAVE to start typing to login, whereas with a search you don't. Looks like the *. forums wait for you to click in the search box. I think you've got the right answer - give it a go and see how it works. And remember you can't please ...

Welcome to the forums, CatStar

Thanks the write-up and photos - great to see what other people are up to.

Hi.

I asked the same question a couple of years ago (it felt like) ... turns out it was nearly four years:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8774&p=96439#p96439

Haven't gotten around to trying a GBS 8200 (yet) but plenty of people have.

Beebug had (at least!) a couple of good platformers ... I'll have to dig out my magazines (and will lose many hours reminiscing and going off in tangents!)

I lived in Woking for a may years and my parents still do. But a big place these days. Not a very useful post for you ; but good luck!

Ah, I see. :-? For iOS: have you got any notes/recollections of how you did this? Sounds like the answer is no. Presumably XCode on a Mac ( not that I'm an expert, but I think that's what you need?) I've got a Mac set-up so I can give things a go, but there are (hopefully) people on the forums that ...

Hopefully MacOS, Android and iOS will follow, but as they use IDEs I'm not sure how best to incorporate the build information. These IDEs must keep this information somewhere. Do they have the equivalent of the Visual Studio "project" file? Visual Studio project files are often checked into a repos...

Can't offer particularly relevant advice but maybe it doesn't matter too much about getting it right first time? Create a scratch project or two in GitHub and try a few things. Don't think anyone will mind and if they do :P to them. So maybe don't use any project names you'd want for the ideal repos...

I'm a British expat who grew up in the UK and my first foray with computers was with the ZX Spectrum and then BBC B in the early 80's. This propelled me into a successful programming career and I can only thank the team vision at Acorn for opening the doorway for many of us like this. Snap! Well, r...

No Manual

Did you see this thread?

Not after it myself but the name rang a bell.

This is great stuff

Not sure I'll get anyone in my family off Fortnite to play it, but well done!

Think it is wise not to tweak but this might be a simple CSS tweak ...

Sounds good, Ed.

I got a Music 500 set-up from Mark some time ago and still haven't gotten around to setting it up.

On a Mac? ... You must have accidently hit ‘yes’ on the ‘turn on auto updates’. Yes, and yes, that's sounds like exactly what I did (wouldn't have been accidental, though, I would have thought it sounded like a wonderful idea!) Just saying that you can end up with the same situation on other OSs, i...

Also means you don't regularly turn on your computer only to have to wait 45 mins for the new "creative edition" or somesuch to install - even though you don't want it to! Mac OS X is unfortunately the same. Sure there WILL be an easy option where I can turn it off but haven't looked for it yet. La...

And with CSS you can (as I'm sure you know, just spelling it out for clarity) obviously have game_site.css and edu_site.css (or edu.bbcmicro.co.uk/assets/site.css and bbc.micro.co.uk/assets/site.css, etc., etc. whatever) and depending on which site you are viewing you get the appropriate styles for ...
