Re: No PAL VERA... Then why Worry ?

It's unlikely you'll ever see a PAL version of the Vera due to the timing needed for 50 hz. The overscan isn't really an issue. The problem is with the program I showed in the video is that the author didn't take composite mode into account when writing the program. But as it was just a proof of con...

Yeah, that's probably a bug. I didn't test it on SNES pad.

ROMTerm fix

I think we've finally squashed one of the biggest bugs in the terminal program, which was causing inbound characters to be dropped when typing on the keyboard. This had a detrimental effect when using things like advanced ANSI editors or ANSI based games. I've uploaded a new version of the terminal ...

Ye Old Robots

This is just a fun experiment. I took the original text-mode port of Petscii Robots for the X16 and updated it so it would run on the modern version. But what's more cool is you can select from 1 of 5 different tile-sets. That way you can experience how the graphics look on the PET, Atari, VIC-20, C...

Re: ROMTerm V1.21 (Terminal Program)

The bug is not in ROMTerm, but most likely in ZiModem. We've been aware of it for some time, but Bo Zimmerman hasn't found a fix yet. Basically, the bug occurs when data is travelling in both directions simultaneously. This is one of the reasons I haven't really made any announcements about the wifi...

Re: Petscii Robots Version 2.0

I've uploaded a new version. Besides a few minor bugfixes, it now has MIDI music support with a full sound-track. The MIDI card should be available shortly.

Re: ROMTerm V1.21 (Terminal Program)

It seems I'm making updates to this code 2-3 times per week. Mostly bug-fixes. As I encounter ANSI code that doesn't render correctly, or in some cases even locks up the terminal, I trace it down and fix it. It's pretty robust now at version 1.23. But I also keep adding new features, so keep checkin...

Re: Warlock's Dungeon - 1.1 Official Release - A Gauntlet-like

I just tried the game again. I love the way you have the composite mode screen to allow you to adjust. I wish every game (including my own) did that. By the way, it also works in RGB mode, as I've just tested. I love how polished this game is! I will definitely be showing it off in the next update v...

Re: ROMTerm V1.21 (Terminal Program)

Yes, that is correct. As for setting up Wifi, that is all done within ZiModem. You'll see when you get the card.
