+FALCOR4 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Posting a cart image of the MG Explorer along with source files. Was fun going back into 33 year old code but time to move to next project. Many thanks to Jon Guidry for his project support and to Fred Kaal for his support and for the generous use of his loader code. Fred, your ModuleCreator is great! Thanks for coding that and Jon, you've had infinite patience helping me, thank you. MGEXP.bin HFE.zip DSK.zip 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+acadiel Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I had a blast helping you “get back in the game”, so to speak! Sorry I haven’t been as available lately, but earlier this year was a super awesome experience with me being able to preserve everything for you and help get you up to date with new hardware and help with Explorer.

digdugnate Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 sweet! i'll add this to my list. it's a memory editor program- the last I remember reading about it was here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/279487-miller-graphics-memory-editor/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Any chance of MG Advanced Diagnostics becoming a bin cart? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FALCOR4 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'll keep trying to find the guy who wrote Advanced Diagnostics. Have been looking for him for about a year now; thought I had a good lead but no response. I worked with him on the disk protection stuff but I don't know if I have enough code in my stash to do a cartridge. Nevertheless, it's his so it probably shouldn't be released without his permission. I wouldn't feel right about it although, realistically, I doubt he would mind. The MG Explorer is actually an early example of a code emulator and it does have a memory editor as well as some other tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FALCOR4 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 What does the program do? Do we have a pdf manual by any chance? There is a PDF out on the whtech site: http://ftp.whtech.com/Millers_Graphics/Utilities/Explorer%20(by%20MG)%20manual.pdf IMHO, the manual is a jewel, written by Craig. He had an incredible imagination and knew how to communicate it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I like all 3!!! I'm a big fan of the original orange on black, but #2 just feels like the right one for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Ciro, there is one tiny problem with the first label--the "s" is missing from Millers. I like all three labels. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXB Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 95% of the time I used Millers Graphics Explorer in XB/EA, until I made RXB then used it in RXB/REA. Still love it and they built it into PC99. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have dumped HFE files for use in emulators such as MAME that are raw dumps of the original disks (you can use them with Gotek as well.) You can also use CopyC from here: https://www.s-n-u-g.de/util/index_en.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
