I was waiting for Dave to say, just put it in the dishwasher....

I'm a bit disappointed!

just in case you were using your AV2 socket - that TV only accepts RGB on socket 1/AV1

from manual

! NOTE
G Signal type RGB, i.e. the signals red, green and blue can only be selected for the Euro scart and the AV 1 can be
received.

This is really nice, nice work.
Begging to be done though.....here's a NULA version.

I just added it to Lurkio's disc img. The file is called N.SPHERE

Acorn RISC PC Launch - 16th April 1994 (Home Video Recording) (via the RISC OS Open forums ) - is that really how product launches were done back in the 90s? :shock: It really is. I was there.

From experience high pitch will be either the flyback (LOPT) on the way out or the power transistor, which on philip colour crts i *think* is a BU508A. The BU508A being quite any easy swap, LOPT a bit more involved, and may as well do all the electrolytic caps while your at it. *always discharge the...

As someone else said, the power switch on philips monitors is flakey (the internal latch starts to fail) and does does like yours is starting to go, you can buy new switches (but require discharge, dismantle and desolder) other people just wedge the switch in with a bit of plastic/lollystick!. Don't...

Here's a preview of the interface, it's .net winform

After Vectoreyes (Adrian) did his thread about his last Exile question and RTW did his screen interpretation of the mapping algo. it sparked my interest. I've always been a bit obsessed with the game and wanted to have a play with is insides. Having worked out in my head how some of it works I've st...

Great catch .....
Looks like the 0-keycap is from another computer...
Feel free to ask questions on the Atom forum.

Looks like Tipex to me

I seem to recall it was the 'moral outrage' caused by Mortal Kombat on home machines that caused film like ratings to be introduced.

Thanks Tom, so let me paraphrase you, the x,y we know because we choose it and the x lookup is only used as a pointer for confirming the what I called 'special' mapped items and their parameters. I'll probably start a thread in Projects shortly for my Exile Editor progress. p.s. Nice to meet you at ...

**BREAKING NEWS** someone has had to drop out last minute so there's a spare table space across the whole weekend. If anyone would like to book a table last minute, please PM me. I'd like to book the table for Saturday afternoon and Sunday, please, if it's still free. None of my BBC stuff has had i...

Is anyone up to the challenge of getting Elk Repton working on the beeb? It seems to play OK but the screen is in the wrong position. There are 3 versions at Stairway to Hell: https://www.stairwaytohell.com/filesearch.php?title=repton&beebdisk=1&beebtape=1&electape=1&Search=Search 2 seem to work an...

Hi Rich, Ok, I was supposed to be doing work this evening but your question nerd-sniped me: "how it comes to be that a single object can have multiple 'views'". Turns out it's actually pretty simple. With reference to the online assembly, http://www.level7.org.uk/miscellany/exile-disassembly.txt. L...

Has anyone got a beeb/master top case they could donate?, condition irrelivant, infact it's just the brown keyboard surround i'm after. I'm working out a streakless/foolproof retrobrighting technique and want to do some tests on this part before writing up my findings. I don't want to potentially ru...

Universally true!

now sorted thanks

There are tools known as pin straighteners, I think I have one somewhere (not seen daylight for about 20 years mind...), they can be useful if you are regularly fitting chips. But they only straighten the pins. You then fit the chip yourself. Mark I picked one of these up a couple of weeks ago whil...

just spotted the one you wanted

When I was teaching at Camp Beaumont we they had two suites of BBC Masters and two suites of Commodore 64s. The C64s seemed to be used mostly for games, the Masters for programming, office applications, and art. However, there was one game on the C64s that I particulary noticed, and ever since have...

There were a few games I always wanted on the Beeb:- Top of the list for me was Bubble Bobble back then, (I know there is a version now but was it unreleased at the time?) Uridium Wizball Treasure Island Dizzy Gauntlet Zarch (Micro User Aprils fools?) Er, Uridium was on the Beeb, and it was pretty ...

Thanks to Kees awesome work on the Atom 6502 code, I managed to get the first BBC game up & running in just 3x train journeys...

My ultimate goal would be to get Dethmunk's Foggy working in full colour, but a lot to do before then.

Nice work there! thank you to Kees too

Would love to play through POP but is there a way to compare scores?

Couple of 4mation titles i'd not heard of, Dinosaur Discovery and Worlds without Words https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACORN-BBC-DINOSAUR-DISCOVERY-4MATION-40-TRACK-5-25-DISK-BOXED-GAME-RARE/283043535922 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACORN-BBC-WORLDS-WITHOUT-WORDS-4MATION-40-TRACK-5-25-DISK-BOXED-GAME-RARE-...

Though how do I go about taking off the paint or correction fluid he used to mark the record buttons?
