Re: Manual Erebus multiload

The Erebus banks in a modified ROM v1.1 where it hijacks the CLOAD entry point. It seems quite difficult to call the BASIC CLOAD routine as it does a lot of extra stuff like expression parsing and I really wanted to avoid setting up all that.

Re: Manual Erebus multiload

I just tried backing up the zero page at startup, and restoring it before attempting to load part 2, but it still just gets stuck on "Searching .." on the Erebus. I'm guessing Erebus multiload support requires you to specifically use the CLOAD BASIC entry point, which is not as convenient ...

Manual Erebus multiload

I know that the Erebus does not support multiload out of the box, but I was wondering if Erebus multiload was possible if the code specifically talks to the Erebus ROM. First, I'm assuming multi-file multiload is possible? i.e. if I page in the Erebus ROM, is there a location I can jump to which wil...

Re: No Problem by IRIS

I didn't put too much effort into avoiding tearing. I only had a small amount of time and prioritised just writing the effects.

Re: Nova demoparty, South West UK, 23rd-25th June

I notice from the picture that the scart adaptor has two extra wires. Is that 1 for power and 1 for audio?

Does the AY audio come out of the tape connector by default?

Re: Improved "The Hobbit"
