hey, thanks for dealing with my ridiculously over-sized scans folks... i got a bit carried away there i think

Yes I dropped Facebook like a hot potato a little while back and my general connectivity to social media tends to be a bit sporadic... That Facebook group that you mention, the Electron Forever one, that's Anthony Ogden's project he was doing a magazine in both PDF and hardcopy along the lines of El...

Noice!! :D I'm trying to compose a tune for my latest demo on the Electron. Maybe this will help me to get some inspiration! Hope it helps! Your demoz are awesome, btw. I especially like #3. Keep up that work; we need more of that on the Electron! Hi Stuart, just a little note: Nice to hear from yo...

Here's a bit of fun for you Elk users; it's a tone-generator/noise proggy that I've made with a few options (my fav is 'freestyle' mode 99))

It may well work on Beebs too, it does work in emulator but is a bit wobbly. I recommend a real live Electron.

Have fun


Stu

Welcome! 8-bit rulez and that's a nice collection you've got by the sound of it

20 LET ACORN$="awesome"
30 IF SPECCY$="awesome" THEN PRINT "that's cool too"

hehe, don't worry Dave, the Electron is still a happy elk with all systems go, I just always wanted a 128 too ;-) Thank you Martin; glad you like the piccy lol With the User Port, I was thinking more of a switcher or similiar as I thnk I would only need to use one or the other, not both at the same ...

Martin, thank you so much! Now that I have UPURS for my Master 128, my world is complete again! Outstanding piece of kit, just like Elk EUP 8) To celebrate, here's a piccy that I drew in AMX Super Art and transferred across to the PC to test the new cable out. AMX Super Art is state of the art compa...

I have this - Stuart I can happily loan/post you the manual if you're happy to do a nice scan? Thanks for the responses guys; it does indeed look like an awesome piece of software! Dave, that would be awesome; thank you! I would be very happy to do a good scan of the manual if you could loan it to ...

Hey all, how's tricks? Forgive me if I have missed this somewhere, but I'm searching for a manual for Studio 8 on the Master/Beeb; does anyone have a linky for any scans? If it hasn't been archived I'd be happy to purchase one off anyone who has a spare kicking about and then scan it in for posterit...

It does truly don't it my mate aerworuld. I think there's a lot to be said for this Art as Art and I think quite often people seem to miss it a bit that it's beautiful indeed. Then again though I think you're a man of your retro Art as well as I've seen your stuff posted on this forum very nice ind...

Nice work Pablo!

I agree about the creative side of our beloved Acorn 8-bits. The nostalgia fuels creativity.

Nice on Stuart, will have to download soon and see how wrong I can get things

Anthony.

Thanks dude; hope you enjoy it!

Long time no speak, btw. Off-thread, but did you ever get that frog game finished that you'd picked back up from bitd?

hey all,

Just to let you know that there is a new PD game available for download on AET in the British IBM series.

As with everything I bung out there, if you want it on a free physical 3.5" floppy, give me a shout <3

Stuart

Here's some examples of stuff that I do in AMX Art on my Electron:
Electron political pix I do got onto http://ArtBeSassy.com (along with some Atari ST pix) and stuff from the Electron is also released through Demozoo

You should put some on the Acorn Art Thread from time to time view topic.php?p=211766#p211766

I will! I'll put these on as they're all I've got on mobile phone at moment lol

By the way,if you're really keen, you can see the artwork at http://ArtBeSassy.com and Demozoo

Thanks Mr H :D I can see why you want to fix the mouse now. Indeed! Most of the artwork that I do on the Electron is political; here's some examples... 4634843405.png 4634843408.png 4634843412.png 4634843420.png @Commie I've never thought of the Electron and the Vic together, apart from the fact the...

As the beige birthday is upon us this week, here's a further little pressie

Stuart

There's a cheat kicking about for Snapper

Welcome Stuart; good to have you here!

From another Stuart

Welcome! The Acorn scene is still strong; hope you can get creating again

Stuart I think I have an AMX mouse somewhere, but it's likely in storage :( However, the principles are not too hard to understand. There are two signals for left / right, and two signals for up/down. I don't know what AMX called these signals, so I will call them X1, X2, Y1 and Y2. So when you mov...

Ah no, the AMX mouse is the old style mouse from the 80's that plugs straight into the User Port. I bought the smallymouse usb adapter as a backup after the AMX mouse started to play up the latest time, so i dont think that has affected the functionality of the User Port itself. I don't have another...

Well met all, My AMX mouse that I use every day for artwork on the Electron has packed up! Over the years, I had to open it up and fiddle diddle to get it working again (usually the wiring where it enters the mouse itself has broken) but this time I can't sort it. The mouse just runs to the right of...

SmallyMouse2 doesn't require a PS/2 compatible mouse - it has real USB support. Any mouse should work, even wireless ones. The only hardware reason SmallyMouse wouldn't work with something (assuming the connections are correct) is power - USB requires 5V. The interface to the computer is basically ...

Hi all! Sorry to jump in fashionably late! Not sure where you're at with the smallymouse compatibility side of things but I got it working fine with EUP and the ROM image and AMX Art version in that floppy image. Well, up until my decrepit ps/2 compatible USB mouse for smallymouse packed up :roll: I...

Just the Userport and UPURS ports left to try. I also have a Smally mouse that I have never tested so I am going to try them both at the same time (what could possibly go wrong!). Any one tried the Electron + AP5 + Smally Mouse Combo. If so what software with mouse support will probably work? Edit:...

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know about a 'tune' I've knocked up using sounds from my Elk, a DR-55 drum machine and some lines of text I've read from a 1983 sales leaflet from Acorn Computers Ltd for the Electron. It's called 'Nostalgia'. I felt like I wanted to do something to mark the 35th an...
