Re: Who are Andrews UK?

I’d crowdfund it. Though if they’ve also grabbed the Jupiter Ace, one imagines 
that any plans, however hypothetical, would be for some sort of omnibus 
machine. I don’t see the one with no games and a stack-based programming 
language selling like hot cakes.

Re: Who are Andrews UK?

[RWAP Software]

Paul Andrews (Andrews UK) is part of the team behind the original 
Sinclair Vega and Vega+ (not the version which Retro Computers Limited 
are still struggling to get out to Kickstarter backers), and theC64Mini 
which has come out recently.

Hello,

No SAM activity here at the moment...

My last project (2011 and 2014) for SAM Coupé was an improved remake of
Barry Jones' _Jolly Roger_ (1984), written in Sinclar BASIC for ZX
Spectrum, an old but nice simulation/strategy/adventure game with some
touches of arcade, which I liked.  The port to MasterBASIC worked fine
and looked promising
(http://programandala.net/es.programa.bandera_negra.mbim.html). I used
my MBim preprocessor for MasterBASIC
(http://programandala.net/en.program.mbim.html), which makes things much
easier and lets a cross-development of sorts.  But the bugs in SAM
BASIC's `KEYIN` ruined MBimport
(http://programandala.net/en.program.mbimport.html) the final step of
the toolchain, i.e. importing the final source into SimCoupe.

In 2015 I rewrote the program in Forth with my Solo Forth for ZX
Spectrum 128 (http://programandala.net/en.program.solo_forth.html).
It's called _Black Flag_ and progresses very well
(http://programandala.net/en.program.black_flag.html).

By the way, Solo Forth runs on several ZX Spectrum models and clones
with G+DOS, +3DOS and TR-DOS, and I've considered supporting also the
SAM Coupé with MasterDOS in a future version...  but I think ZX Spectrum
Next (http://specnext.com) will be the _next_ target...

Welcome Simon.

There are probably others who can give you concrete repair advice.
However, I just want to check with you that you are aware that the SAM
has a non-standard SCART connector?  See:
http://www.worldofsam.org/node/350.  I believe the symptoms you
describe can result in this when you are lucky.  It does not need the
RF part in the power supply for SCART.  I'm sure others will chime in

 Sorry, but for me it sounds not like asking, but more like demanding.

 Your computer seems to crash very often even with a active internet
 connection. Sure, my program has some bugs too (it was alpha version),
 but
 your hammering was the reason to freeze the development for unnamed
 amount
 of time. The bugs were on the todo list. look at the whatsnew.txt. All
 reported bugs are fixed until you came and started to annoy me repeatly
 with
 the problems we both know about and I was working to find the reasons,
 but
 the other reported 1x and not hammered like 1000x after I said, I will
 fix
 them later. I have a real life too! But you keept hammering without even
 to
 try correct spelling.


 i see of course a s a pc progrmamer you dont
 have to answer questions aboutyour program


 Lies! I answered all question until you started to repeat them over and
 over
 like the movie player for ATOM. How much times I told you, I have NO
 ATOM???
 Coding a movie player on a emulated atom is not very good idea as you do
 not
 know how fast it will work on a real machine. Hammering about it made me
 unwilling to answer more [not questions but] demands from you. Until this
 I
 was answering all your question, even repeated ones.
 If your further answers were not answered, this, and maybe puting a ban
 (spam filter) on you was the reason.


 its a bit like nemesis from
 konami on the speccy so what if it was so bad that it wasnt worth the
 money dont buy it


 I purchased Nemesis from Konami on Spectrum back in the 80's and I think,
 it
 is not that bad game after all. There are others I wasted money on, like
 Knight Rider


 but dont compalin to us we couldnt care les once we
 ahve got your money it slike the internet connection speed no one
 actually gets what ethy pay for and they are all dead chuffed about it


 Why not you ask wodafone about the slow speed? Is the slow speed only at
 your home and in some other places the speed is much higher? They can
 surely
 effort to put a 100,000 pound relay station near your home to improve
 your
 connection.
 If the next relay station is too far away, you can surely give your 3G
 stick
 back and go out from the contract for free, then ask other providers
 where
 the relay stations (senders) in the area you live are.

 Okay, you was not spaming, but pesting.

2011/6/7 Roger Jowett rogerjow...@gmail.com

 humble apols
 spam is asking for something as well as sending invites from social
 networks is it?


Not if this will happen ONCE (one time, without repeats).

Spaming is hammering thousands of times to multiple people (I got three
invitations for Facebook). Spaming is finding hundreds mails from same
sender when returning from holidays, asking the same question in different
styles, and using teh instead if the, which is not the only reason why
it is very hard to read. Spaming makes people dull and stop them from
working on their projects due to time needed to read the spam/hammering and
find out, what the sender exactly wants, or due to get bored after hammering
about a small bug or asking for same feature over and over and over and
over...
Spaming is asking people to write software, they did not want to write. It
would be okay asking this once, but not for every piece of software he want.

Re: who wants some then ?

[Chris Pile]

You keep spamming on about a PUSH proportional print routine - why don't you
write your own?  It really isn't that difficult you know.  And why have you got 
it in
your head that PUSH is the way to go with this???

Sure, PUSH can dramatically speed up certain graphic-dumping operations - but
don't assume that it is a panacea for *everything*!  There is a trade-off 
between
the ease of something like LDI and the complications of manipulating the stack 
to
do any PUSH operations - not to mention the potential interrupt headaches when
playing with the stack pointer.

Work out exactly what you want from your routine, then write code to fit the 
bill...

Don't just look for a proportional print routine - or assume someone else will 
write
or give you one - be it stack-based or not!  *Write Your Own!*

Who knows, you might learn something and - more importantly - you won't keep
annoying everyone by constantly spamming *everywhere* asking for one...

Hi,

Thanks, I've found the problem now. What I'd forgotten was that you  
get two FPC stack entries for each parameter - the first describes the  
type (which allows for CALL statements with string arguments) and this  
is what was coming out as 0xc0 every time.


Cheers,

I gather that a recent release of Quake came out first on Linux, but not

I don't believe I said anywhere that it was more viable than something

Think you might have problems programming in it - but the games 
seem to run. The actual designer - where you do all the graphics 
and bits - erquired a -key disk- or soemthing so disk images might

Has anyone mentioned EFTPOTRM yet? It may have looked good but the game had no
playability. Also Sam Elite was a rip off. Mind you I'm not totally aware of all
Sam games. I never ever saw Lemmings running on the Sam.

I think best game in my opinion has to be Prince of Persia although graphically
it wasn't that great. Defenders of the Earth or Sphera were much prettier.

I'd still love to see a proper Coupe enhanced version of Elite.

Yay true.  Netscape's gone mad.  It gets exception errors every time
I try and Sync newsgroups  then forgets how many emails are in

acts like its sending but then doesn't remove them from the outbox.  So

Well, I've tried, and failed :(.  I ran it through my own little dsk
program which handles dodgy sectors (I'll get around to uploading it one
day), but despite the fact that the sectors that are dodgy are all at
the end (only 16 in total!) the disk is naffed.

It will get a directory ok and some things load, but apart from that its
dodgy - end of file problems  somtimes just hanging the compiler.  

If I get my Sam out off its shelf in the near future I'll try and make a
copy of the disk on that  then run it through the DSK thing (the same
always seems a bit more resilient to [ignorant of?] dodgy disks that
PC's for some reason).

The problem with the backup is that the protection will most definately
be uncatered for.  Hmm.

I tried some of my old games too (the ones I wrote with SCADS), but
alas, all the disks seem to have been got by the MagnetoMonster... ohh
well :os
