Now that the TopSpeed TechKit with its is out in the world, I'm considering porting the and code in one or two of the open source apps over to TSASM.

Hardly an urgent project, but it would mean that the apps could be built with one ecosystem with a single project file.

Of course, the code would still be restricted to the world, but it's no worse off than we already are in land.

Reading through the first manual in the SDK has reminded me what the "pure small memory model" is.

The ES register is never corrupted (DS=ES=SS).

C implemented this, which was one of the main reasons why used it for the SDK.

I've heard that it's possible to implement this with C (and maybe ?), but I don't know how.

I don't think there was a newer version of the *software* part of the SDK. 2.20 is the latest one I've heard about and it's the latest version I have.

However, the documentation part of the SDK definitely goes up to 2.30, so it's possible that there was a newer release.

If anyone has something newer (for EPOC16, not EPOC32), drop me a line!

Just reading through this license doc about the ROMs.

If you've never read it before, it's a conversation between Cliff Lawson of and Andrew Owen, where Cliff states Amstrad's position on what was formerly 's intellectual property regarding the .

I'd love to see something similar with . Officially allowed to distribute documentation, OS ROMs, code (decompiled or otherwise), etc.

I am also looking for the software side of the . I already have 2.00, 2.10 and 2.20.

There are differences between these, to the extent that some software written for 2.00 will not compile with 2.20.

There might have been a 2.30 to correspond with the documentation versions.

Again, if you have anything like this, please get in touch.

OK, Fediverse. This is a long shot.

I am looking for the missing parts of the SIBO C .

The screenshot (and alt text) shows a breakdown of what I already have, scraped together from the internet and scans from people who still have paper copies.

I'm sure there are newer versions of some of these docs, especially 2-05 and 3-01.

I'm also looking for v1 of the SDK, covering the MC200 and MC400.

Can you help?

Want to transfer files between your and an machine, but don't know where to start? Good news!

A PL2303 USB-RS232 adapter, a copy of MCLINK.EXE, and a dash of @DOSBox_Staging is all you need.

Richard is here to help you out.

My PC-Engine, known as the Turbo-Grafx 16 in the West, was released in 1987 and was an 8-bit/16-bit hybrid that excelled at arcade conversions and was particularly famous for its shooters and Bomberman.

The portable unit, the PC-Engine GT plays regular PC-Engine carts and gives a solid portable performance. I got mine with a faulty speaker (headphones work fine) about 20 years ago.

Made by NEC, it was the partnership with Hudson-Soft that created its legacy. Konami and Capcom all supported the console strongly.

The games pictured are just the handful I own. I tried to get a range of genres with some favourites, like Populous.

Got me these two books on computer development on a basic level from 1977 and 2021 to help me with the work on the DWMC-16.

Yes, I could have gotten either as a PDF, but actual dead tree books have a different quality... Especially the old ones.
