It did get bigger than I was thinking it would be. We can add a switch to turn it off, and/or move it more to the top right.

Paperboy doesn’t work. That is what I said now everyone is trying it. How funny.

SVI328:
- Added cassette status dialog
- Updated framework (adaptive scanlines, latest shadow mask, etc)

Hi, yes I did that. I tried two tapes; Paper Boy and Arcadians. Both seemed to load and then crashed at the last minute. Paper Boy crashes to a red screen with text garbage that looks like Basic and an "Invalid Program" error. Arcadians crashes to a black screen with a text cursor in the corner and assorted garbage. D. Weird, I have had ...

Hi, I get the same result. I know nothing at all about the Acorn Electron, but assuming it has some custom ROM to load the MMB file, could this be interfering with loading from cassette? D. Which error do you get? I load the electron core, and get to the MMB menu. Then I hit shift-F10 to reboot to basic. Then I type "*TAPE" to get into t...

I've tried it few more times on MiSTer, two different versions, and it crashes to a sort of text-filled red screen. At the same moment when the game starts on the emu.

I am not sure how to debug this.. Do you think it is a memory thing? Are we missing an expansion?

Is there source for that emulator? I wonder if paperboy works on the replay core. It seems to fail the same way in Mame. I wonder what is wrong.

Let me know how tape works on the acorn electron. I noticed paperboy doesn’t work. But it doesn’t work on mame either. Bad dump? I noticed one other didn’t work in either spot. Thanks for Core and updates. I owned an Electron for a short while in the '80s ADC seems to work okay (full volume for me). However I've not been able to load a UEF file. A...

The Lunar Lander core seems like it has a flaw? So, starting up this core, it seems to rotate properly but thrust (which is mapped to button 2 as the default) seems to force rotate the ship straight up prior to firing. So, for example, if you were trying to aim your ship to the right and then thrust, it first forces your ship straight up and then ...

CoCo2
- Updated framework (adaptive scanlines, latest shadow mask, etc)
- cassette status

Acorn Electron
- Updated framework (adaptive scanlines, latest shadow mask, etc)
- cassette support (*TAPE , CHAIN "")
- cassette status

Did you try running it into the ADC level tester?

Awfully sorry to be hijacking the Elk thread, but we need the latest Beeb core to be compiled in the main repo: BBCMicro_20220123.rbf Most people who casually run the 'downloader' script once in a while and don't frequent the discord, won't even be aware of its existence! @ alanswx please nudge Sorg; he must have forgotten all about it :) I broke ...

CoCo2
+ fixed CoCo disk support
+ dragon disk support is there, but doesn't work quite right
+ added cassette status pop up while loading tape files

Something like this.

We need another fix to main for compressed UEF files to work. I should have tested before i switched headers. sorry -- I will post when it is working correctly. Working on a tape status dialog for all the classic computers that have tape. With a status bar..

I will release tape support when the new mister binary ships..

The B has a different disk controller I believe. We have the disk controller working on Master. Tapes work on electron soon. The bbc is missing two chips to allow it to have tape and serial support.. is the software on tape?

Laser 310
- fixed video, timing issues, blinking cursor, incorrect fonts

Are there buttons with little displays on them?

I think I have the hard parts worked out. I just need some time to finish the code.

We don’t have tape loading from a uef file. We need to convert the uef into raw in the mister binary and feed it in. A few more days of work.

I am not sure why Sorg didn't push the new Beeb core. Thanks to SupraDeus I have the tape working on Electron, I need to add the converter to MiSTer main.

Laser 310
+ New 15khz video
+ added sound

Does anyone have interest in helping me with the tape support? I am at a loss.. we need to examine the signaltap output, unless I am doing something silly.

On the latest Coco2 core: When I switch to Dragon32 I only get a green screen. Do I need a specific boot.rom to switch to Dragon 32? This seems to happen only when changing the Cartridge>Disk first, and choosing the Machine later. The other way around it's okay. But, yes, I also get the I/O error when trying the disks. Hopefully @alansxw or some o...

Is it useful to have a load vhd option in the menu?

The " key on my keyboard give me a star. Do you have a proper MMC SDCARD image installed as boot.vhd?

Tatung Einstein TC01
+ Added video mixer and updated sys to support shadow masks, etc.
