Any of you guys use an LCD TV with your SAM? I'm thinking that one of
those small little LCDs might make a nice SAM display but I'd be
concerned with picture quality, lag time etc.
Anyone have any experience?

I`ve come across a little routine on an old disk magazine that provides four
8*8 pixel masked `sprites` via a MC interrupt routine, it seems pretty fast,
and am wondering about trying to use it, however I`m wondering if it`s possible
to alter an interrupt routine so that it only runs the code

Assuming you don't need to worry about redrawing them if they haven't moved
you could simply add your own interrupt

Interrupts aren't affected by the speed of the machine.
The ASIC generates the frame interrupt every 50th of a second, it's all tied
right into the video timings. So things like music players, or any frame
interrupt (or line interrupt) routines don't

I used to love these demo`s, and the converted games, as I still
usually prefer AY music over The Sound Machine, or E-tracker, although
some SAM tunes blow the AY away :) I was thinking it might be easier
to get someone to do a tune or two for games, if

I was supposed to upload Issue 4 and 6 of Arcadia last year, and never got
round to it, well I`ve found issue 6, and upped it to :-

there are 8 changes/commands that need to be made at once... I was wondering if
anybody could help me out with the following.

I`d ideally like to change the lines, grab the Mem$ of the correct area,
MEM$(5600 TO 57ff)
is what you want for the BASIC line interrupt table :)

Thank you so much Colin :D
So that`sMem$(22016 to 22527) ... I tried to convert it with the
character and got a - number, lol, I take it the char is to denote Hex..
I did try and find it myself a few times in the tech manual, but couldn`t...
right, I can see if it`s faster now *_+

Yes denotes hex in BASIC. You can use that in the MEM$ command as I put -
no need to convert to decimal.

Can`t find issue 4 at the mo, but I`m sure I had it, so will see if there`s
any disks I forgot to rip... also noticed that I couldn`t find any
issue`s of SCPDU
on nvg,
cheers *_+ That`s even better if you can use hex in Mem$, that`s another thing
learnt :) I normally hate it when every MCoder use`s Hex all the time, but I
suppose I should get used to it if ever I`m to learn MC :)

Cheers Dan for nvg`ing for me, I`ll learn how to upload to the incoming soon :)
Just been trying out the SCPDU5 disk, and if you boot samdos 2 from another
disk the disk seems to work fine, and there`s some interesting stuff on it... I
do seem to remember that one (or two) progs didn`t work, so

I've got a site to work on tonight, otherwise I'd be dipping in my issues to
look for you :(
no probs mate, I`m not exactly gonna be able to do anything with any MC code
yet anyhow, and I know your busy :) I do love looking through the issue`s I
have, it always eggs me on to do more coding, but I need to get the early
issue`s especially for the (sounding great) articles :D

Just to say I`ve put a demo of level one up of Tomato Antics. Still not really
a proper game yet, but spent a lot of time trying to get it to as fast a speed
