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

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

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...

Hey all!

Just wanted to let you know about the latest interview up on the AET site - none other than Mr Dave Hitchins himself!

Stuart.

Outstanding work! That sounds like a game I would love to play *Dribbles*

Just wanted to say that this board is wonderful. I finally got around to soldering up a 9 pin connector to test the usb serial link on the (E)UPURS and everything is lovely. I sent a dsd floppy image to the laptop and one back to the Electron and all is good, I have tested the Beeb compatible user p...

Welcome Rich,

Thank you for sharing your background and the excellent pics. Such a diverse mix of people here and some wonderful experiences to draw on when we have questions!

Hope you enjoy your time here!

Kind regards
Stuart

^^^ ghost in the shell! Most odd. If there's an awkward way to do something, I'll find it!

The UEF file is a bit odd. It seems to include junk data at the end of each file block, so either my understanding of UEF files is incomplete or BeebEm is doing something strange. I can make a cleaned up version of the UEF if required. It might just be the noisy sound file I converted it from. It s...

Tape is a CHAIN"" btw
