Or you could just try FDISK... theres a 50/50 chance it'll end the same way

As always, a techie_alison product gets an "As recommended and used by D-Bug" comment Now, where's my WeST? *winks* (BTW, good idea getting your own thread, stop hijacking ours hehehehe)

...annnnnd the threads back on the rails (Thank you Christos, btw!)

*waves at alison again* Hehe, drop me a PM with a price for ST->Scart and I'll take one too The MegaSTe looks cruddy on RF output (Also, how handy are you at UK TOS roms... these are german, lol!)

**waves at GGN** feel better now? *winks* at techie_alison

Hi Folks, The February F030/MSTE/HD Fixpack is now available for download at: http://www.dbug-automation.co.uk/news.htm Go leech!

Hehehe hi Yup i'm kinda lurking around too. Wrong thread here, but I'm actually using a VGA/TFT TV with my falcon and st here. Its a Samsung LW17 jus for the record. Works fine!

The PeST interfaces are fantastic. I've got 2 here, both with MS Optical USB mice running on them via the USB->PS2 convertor you get with them (with the mice, not the PeST, obviously!) I can highly recommend these!

Go here: http://www.dbug-automation.co.uk/news.htm and enjoy!

Hi, I'll work on it a bit more and see where it goes before releasing it. I've also discovered that the trench sequence is empty - which is verry odd! The walls are there, the exhaust port is there (so you can complete it) - but there are no walkways or fireballs in it... hrmmmm Anyway, like I said, it needs a bit more work. CJ.

Star Wars update... I have fixed the TOS problems, it now runs everywhere... even on Falcon TOS 4.x However, dont start rejoicing yet! It still has problems... specifically. 1) Due to HDDRIVERs _insane_ use of buffering, and the inability to disable said feature, and the virtually impossible task of getting an answer out of Uwe because "he's right, and everyone else is wrong".... it currently doensnt run with HDDRIVER installed. We are considering dropping support/testing for HDDRIVER due to the buffer problem/bug and switching over to ICD, which apart from allowing zero buffers, is also way way easier to load (and doesnt lie to you about CD-Rom support) 2) It crashes when you get a hiscore. So... progress, of a sort. BTW - it FREAKING SCREAMS at 16Mhz :-)

Just so you know... Star Wars is now running in Steem using our Falcon030 shell... its still not working properly on the Falcon though (The title screen with the menu appears, then it all dies...) but it IS being looked at further. No promises for it being in the next batch of titles we release. It is quite likely going to be one of those irritating to fix titles. CJ/D-Bug

Hi We will not be putting up a cash donations link on the website - we have never asked in the past and we never will. However, some of you have asked some specific things for us to try, eg TT fixes... now, none of us have a TT so as you can see this might prove a bit of a problem. Also, we've not even investigated if this is even possible. If anyone would like to send us a TT as a donation or a loan, we could discuss this further. There are a few bits of hardware we could find usefull though, if anyone has them going spare. Specifically 2xUK Mega STE keyboards (God damn that Z and Y swap on German keyboards is annoying!) and some Mega STE UK/English TOS roms (Actual ROMs, not image files) as our MSTE's are also German. With regard to requests, ggn is correct - I usually don't do them. I will occasionally (Hi Magic 'EARX' Pockets!), but as a rule I won't. I target some of the more difficult titles in order to improve our compatibility/loader shell, making it easier for the other guys to carry on with other stuff in the future. GGN is the main guy doing requests at the moment, so please, don't flood us with requests, we have a lot of them already. SHW is currently working away on SNDH files, so he's not taking an active part in this project, although it is hoped he will shortly :-) GGN also mentioned the "WIP" folder. We plan on listing all the work we have done on the website soon, showing stuff that isnt ready for release... but as a quick glance into the frustrating world of Falcon patching, heres a quick list from just my WIP folder alone: Buggy Boy - Occasional 030 crashes, crashes on ST/STe. Probably simple fix Chase HQ - Fixed Shadow PSG, game locks up setting screen on 030 Empire Strikes Back - Fixed Shadow PSG, crashes on 030 at init time Gauntlet - PSG errors to be fixed Giana Sisters - Screen draw errors, IKBD not working on 030 Outrun - Partially working, IKBD issues on certain 030s (ROCKS at 16mhz!!!!) Barbarian (Psyg) - Locks at startup on 030, fixed PSG shadow Crazy Cars II - PSG Shadow errors Double Dragon - PSG Shadow errors Super Hang On - Fully working, except no IKBD interupts on 030 Hard and Heavy - No IKBD on 030 International Karate + - Fixed TOS incompatibility, Fixed PSG, Timer B wrong on 030 Platoon - Fails on title screen on 030. Fixed PSG shadows Red Heat - No Arnie sprite on 030 (needs a LOT of investigating) Silkworm - Timer B errors on 030. Fixed PSG shadows Vixen - Game works on 030, title scren corruption. Not sure why - strange bug? Epic - this one doesnt work for so many reasons. I'm getting close tho! The above is a partial view into my WIP folder. We have a pile of stuff that is fixed and working, we plan on releasing in game-packs in the future, and not as and when we fix something. We're still around, we're still working away. As GGN said, when something fails, we can either spend days or weeks trying to fix it, or move on. Also, please note: Ijor isn't part of D-Bug, and doesnt even own a Falcon (Yet!). He is responsible for the Pasti disk system for Steem and SainT, which we have found most useful when doing these fixes. He is also very helpful if you have any disk/hardware related questions. Please don't bombard him with requests! *waves at Ijor* Re: Star Wars - I *LOVE* that game, so I'll look at it.... :-) May The Force Be With You All. CJ/D-Bug 2007!

Hi folks, Not to disappoint all you ST owners out there by having a falcon game at the end of the 7 days of D-Bug, here we give you our final planned release for 2006 - Menu 196 (a/b) Lorna and Hammerboy Both previously unreleased on menus, fixed for 030/HD, Trained and given 16Mhz boosts if you have it! Enjoy, and a very merry Xmas and a happy new year from all of us at D-Bug.

MonST, GenST, our brains and a whole warehouse full of patience :-)

Hi, I'd just like to add that we have several more goodies in the pipeline, and D-Bug will be shipping them to Santa in time for all Falcon/MSTe/HD owners to have a festive Xmas :-) CJ/D-Bug
