Robert Ramsay yesterday released a beautiful oil pastels on pastel paper image dedicated to IK+. Here is a 55 colors conversion for A8. Not bad! It would be a nice intro screen for International Karate+ work in progress. Philsan_IK+_RobertRamsay.xex

Would it be possible to set Basic listing left margin to 0? POKE 82,0

Buried in this thread (and included in @Stephen's zip - post #2374) are the following Depeche Mode covers I made eight years ago: Philsan_DM_SoundsOfTheUniverse.xex Philsan_DM_DeltaMachine.xex

Eight years ago (!) I made Violator cover. Philsan_DM_Violator.xex

If I press F7 on my Notepad++ (installed in C/Programs) nothing happens. I have to use the old version of N++ inside Turban.w10 folder. What should I do to let work my N++?

MadStudio supports FastBasic editing and compiling/running too.

Awesome... as usual!

Very useful, thanks! Could you please set the Basic listing border to 0 or let the user choose between standard and 0? Turbo-Basic XL compatibility would be nice too.

Without annoying jingle (thanks Wilheim) and with TIX's upcoming improved graphics... it's time to complete the game.

It was one of my first A8 games too! Best versions of games are here as usual, unfortunately with the dreaded death jingle...

I think you are searching His Dark Majesty. Unfortunately the beautiful website dedicated to this game seems down. Anyway, you can download it from various sources, for example here: http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=6198

I know that list and I find it useful too. It's not an easy task to compile such a list for A8. For example, which is the best graphic program? There are plenty of them, for different graphics modes, with strenghts and weaknesses. Anyway, a thread could be opened to gather informations about categories and software.

Two good sector copiers are Copymate (you need 128KB RAM) and the new MILF. Copymate XE (128).atr MILF (2020)(Dely).atr

As written by Eyvind, you'll find the first program (Colormap.com) inside Altirra Additions.atr disk. I attach the second program. Atari Control Picture (2015)(Mad Team)(PAL).xex

I am a fan of VRW too. I was talking about VRWSafe. If you read my previous post, you'll see I already agreed with Avery's decision. Previously I agreed with him when he accepted another proposal of mine and I agreed when he didn't accept another one as well. It is clear that I "accept the way thing works". I only politely and humbly asked a question.

If someone formats a disk, he only gets an error. If someone runs a protected disk, it may be deleted. Therefore the default setting is the safer setting. Thanks!

Obviously I know you can choose default write mode in Tools/options/media. I changed that option to fix my format issue... I meant Altirra's initial default setting. I already asked Avery to change some default settings and he changed them, whenever he found it was a good idea.

Yes, but I don't think that the average user loads protected disks that format themselves. On the other hand, the average user doesn't format disks too... Therefore, I don't know which option should be the default option.

Hi Avery. Yesterday I had a problem formatting a disk with the new awesome LiteDOS 3. I've always had an error until I discovered that I had to switch Altirra's default VRWSafe mode to VRW. "This mode is "similar to virtual read/write, except that format commands are blocked with a read-only disk error. This allows virtualized write access to disks while still blocking writes for programs that attempt to format their disk on boot as part of a protection check. Altirra defaults to this mode until changed in Options" (excerpt from Altirra's manual). I never had that problem before because I never formatted a disk from emulator, I always used blank images or PC tools. I think that VRW should be the default option but surely there must be a reason why you chose VRWSafe. BTW, it would be nice if you'll support LiteDos 3 in disk explorer. Thanks!

I like translucent black. I think it will fit with XL and XE machines color.

Awesome Paul! That's a good use of one of VCS strenghts, 128 colors. Considered the fact A8 has 128 colors too and 16 shades of color in one graphic mode, I would love an A8 conversion.
