@c64reloaded.bsky.social Well, actually…! It can be done on +3/+2A (see part 6). Just not in exactly the same way.
@der-kleine-drache.bsky.social HxC Floppy software is good at decoding the raw flux data and exporting to a suitable image format. (And those disk visualisations!) I tend to use samdisk though, which works with the (SAM, Spectrum) formats I generally need. I think there are GUI greaseweazle tools too?
@markfixesstuff.com It’s such a charming system to work with. Its compatibility with the Spectrum was perhaps overstated but you can see the DNA running through. If you used Beta BASIC and a DISCiPLE or Plus D then you can see that SAM is a refinement of Andy and Bruce’s work.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Tis the season! 🥚🍫
@fuzzweed.co.uk If you’re not also using half an Easter egg as the bowl I don’t even want to hear about it.
🍫 🍫 🍫 🍫 🍫 😅
@mattround.com In Scots it has a slightly different / more specific meaning: flirting, “going out on the pull” etc. My gran would use the word but it‘s been a very long time since she accused me of “gallivanting wi lassies” so I’ve not really heard it for a while! But a good word in both senses I reckon.
@jamhamster.bsky.social A cool thing you can do with it is drive two displays at the same time (one shows the normal screen while the other shows the shadow screen). Have you tried it?

@fuzzweed.co.uk Haha, snap!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Ah, cool. I think if you ALIGN the table you could get away without DE etc and effectively “add a to hl” by doing LD L,A
@fuzzweed.co.uk Ah, I’ve never programmed the SID, is that 7 for each voice and 3 for filter? Could you use a lookup table instead of doing x7 ?
@fuzzweed.co.uk You might need to clear the carry flag first so it’s not rolled into your result? An OR A would do that, adding +4t
@fuzzweed.co.uk Aha, I remember this one. It’s Brodick Castle.
@samcoupe.com I’d like to see that. A scan would be useful. The version generally circulated online is littered with OCR errors, but even still it’s tremendously useful!
@onlyretrofans.com It’s the most important part!
@onlyretrofans.com Nice one! I normally run it under Wine but it’s a bit janky.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Yeeeeeeah! 💪 🎵
@fuzzweed.co.uk Ooooooh!
@sloanysoft.itch.io Happy birthday Davey! I don’t have a free McGuffin for you but I’m happy to share this IFTTT recipe. (I’ve had it running since about 2014!)
@squidgybuffalo.bsky.social Nice one, thanks. I can tell you enjoyed it! (Hyupp hyupp hyupp!) Maybe I’ll give it another go. I’m curious to check out the new Platinum one either way.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Haha, so do the other six.
@fuzzweed.co.uk 7 out of 10 despots agree: if your tachyon death cannon isn’t also banging out SID choons, you’re doing it wrong.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Ahahah!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Haha, I misread that as “laser” and though oh no what’s he building now 😆
@fuzzweed.co.uk 1170 bytes! Starting from 0x386C running up to 0x3D00 where the character set starts. They’re all 0xFF so often used by 48K games that use IM2 as an interrupt vector table (at 0x3900) to force a jump to 0xFFFF.
@sloanysoft.itch.io It’s a cool feature! I’m really not competitive (or generally good enough!) to grace online leaderboards but that one did encourage me to replay ANP2 for a stealth or sharpshooter run.
