Re: Gribbly's Day Out

There's no permission to release it I'm afraid, but the archive copy is complete. In 10 years, I've yet to see a physical copy. I don't think I've seen it appear on eBay either, so locating an original is going to be down to luck. I had to look into my "archives" to be sure, but I have lo...

Look inside the ADFFS archive, !ADFFS.!Structure describes both APD and JFD.

Have fun

Re: ADFFS on A5000

Hi Jon, thanks for your efforts. I'll try to do a more precise and systematic test of the various games soon. At the moment, I am rescuing a few Risc PCs from battery leakage, that's eating my whole retro time budget for the next two or three weeks :-(

Re: ADFFS on A5000

Very little testing was done on RISC OS 3.11, I don't think any of the 3.11 testers opted to take part in the testing, or if they did, they didn't provide any feedback. I did some cursory tests to ensure ADFFS loaded, floppy images could be mounted, discs swapped and booted, but not a wide test as ...

ADFFS on A5000

Hi, I recently put together an A5000 for a retro meeting in the city I live, and also put ADFFS (2.72, but there was also the very old 2.09 already there) onto the harddrive without being able to test it before the meeting. The A5000 is a plain old RISC OS 3.10 machine with Simtec IDE, Morley SCSI a...

Re: USB Joystick on the Raspberry Pi?

OK, found the ZIP containing the build instructions and software for the Ian Haylock parallel port Joystick interface. Contrary to what I remembered, it works on bidi parallel ports as well as on classic parallel ports (A3xx/4xx/A540/A3000). I think I also had it running on my Risc PC. http://legacy...

Re: USB Joystick on the Raspberry Pi?

The LogikJoy and Gamer's Upgrade Joystick interfaces had a capable module that allowed the Joystick to produce configurable keypresses, so that you could control any game that allowed control via keyboard to be controlled via Joystick. IIRC, that piece of software was done by Matthias Seifert (autho...

Re: ADFFS 2.41 on the Pi 2 running RiscOS 5.21 help needed please

Aemulor for nearly all platforms and current RISC OS versions has now been published by Adrian, see http://sendiri.co.uk/aemulor/index.html for more info and download. Pi3 is now also a supported platform. Hopefully - I have not yet tested it myself!

Re: Magnetoids

Frank did a major part of the Windows game "Stealth Combat" - but this was 2002 or so. Haven't heard anything about him. I guess you already made contact with Jan Klose for the Artex software titles? Maybe he knows more.

Re: Magnetoids

Magnetoids was properly released. The really cool update with nicely shaded fills instead of the flat fills for Risc PCs however was not released IIRC. Frank Föhl showed the update in the early 90s on one of our Acorn meetings.
