Re: Z-Machine
You can also make nice effects without scrolling. When I was talking about effects I was talking about "letting the characters appear in a nice way"... Not about entire scrolltexts or so... (have you run my little Basic-proggie?) No, I haven't run your program, but I can figure what's your idea. Also, a screensplit can be a little hard to combine with Basic. Yes. Screensplit is not a necessity. And do you really want to use Basic??? I believe NestorBasic gave some IMHO, the best way of doing a text adventure engine is to make something like an interpreter (that can be very short) that reads the adventure information from other files. This can be done generically enough to allow the programming of other adventures without changing anything of the engine. -- /*-*/ /* */ /* Toni Burguera Burguera| 9D-La Novena Dimensió*/ /* ==| http://pagina.de/9d */ /* [EMAIL PROTECTED] | WWW.MSX.ORG */ /* [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.msx.org */ /* */ /*-*/ MSX Mailinglist.

Re: C64 cartridge for MSX. :)
Hmm.. download Boulderdash, Operation Wolf, Rick Dangerous 2, Platoon, Combat School, IK+, Skate or Die, Giana Sisters, Salamander, etc, and compare those with (excisting) MSX versions instead of H.E.R.O.

Afraid with Hero? Try Galaga!
Antoni, About C64, (...) Recently I downloaded the C64 emu for PC, and also one game, "HERO" (...). And the MSX version is much better than the C64 version... perhaps the HERO conversion to C64 wasn't good, I don't know... Hero? Try to compare Galaga! In MSX is the MSX version, a bit like to NAMCO original arcade game. And in C64? Is look like a ZX81 or TRS-80 mod.I versions, all ships are small-boxes...

Turning the bit off also dropped the interrupt. This was better because I could now make the interupt line drop in lesser time, I just had two write twice to a register. With the official read methode I had to write a register, wait, read a status register and then put #15 back to zero (as assumed by the standard interrupt handler) David Heremans -- "One difference between SuSE and Red Hat is that the former operates in a country where people don't sue each other over coffee being too hot."

But if done, you'll have to exchange all of your equipment based on electric motors and transformers connected directly to the electric network. It would be too expensive! Other approach would be to connect a transformer to each electric/eletronic equipment that you have. Too expensive and too heavy! Well...they're doing it gradually over a x-year period (1 volt a year I thought). Actually it's not that big a deal. It's a 4.5% raise. I don't know what the guaranteed tolerances are, but if they are able to decrease them, the upper limit could remain the same. 4.5% is reasonable, but Laurens said it would change from 220V to 330V, a 50% increase! Theoretically, equipment will last shorter, either because of the extra heat generated, or because of the extra current. The heat that must be dissipated by the regulator is (8-5)*3 = 9 watts. A 4.5% increase would yield 8.36 V on the input of the regulator. This gives (8.36-5)*3=10.1 watts. Sure, sure, sure! One solution could be a switching power supply. But, for common small electronic equipments, the power consumption will increase. Then, why the electric company wants to increase the voltage? Most (if not all) problems with electronic equipment will be more heat in the power supply (and maybe more heat in the whole apparatus). Best solution for a MSX would be to buy one of these cheap (PC) switch-mode power supplies, they are non-linear and will consume LESS current if fed with a higher voltage (V*I remains roughly the same). Some of them are rated for 100-240 volt without switching anything (like the charger for my camcorder). In electronic equipments you can use switching power supply, but what will happen with electrical machines (synchronous motors, induction motors, series and parallel motors)? With synchronous and induction motors, there will be an increase in the phase difference between voltage and current waveforms, keeping the same average power, but decreasing the power factor (cos phi). So, the loss in the transmition and distribution lines will be increased. Probably the electric company will compel users to increase capacitor banks to improve the power factor. What do you think about it? With series and parallel motors, the rotation will increase, and also the power consumption. So, if the objective is to reduce the power loss in the transmission and distribution lines, increasing the voltage won't be a solution!

Hi, Does BDOS use the standard TPA segments if you use the BDOS call random block read to read a file ?
