rickcollette Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I never had an ST when they were coming out. I have worked on them in music studios.. but never owned one. I picked up an early version 520STFM - upgraded to rainbow TOS, upgraded the floppy disk to a gotek (waiting for my oleds to show up so i can add that to the drive), and ordered the 4MB kit + proper cabling. Ah.. and the UltraSatan. I also had picked up a WiModem for this purpose. So - on to BBS software.. whats good and working properly on the 520 with the wimodem? I like to mod things - so if it is a bbs that has source code - thats a plus to me. even better is the ability to handle doors, and includes a door game toolkit or instructions/docs on creating external games.

Tillek Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 This page has 3 BBS programs written in GFA Basic with source code (just search for BBS if you're scroll impaired) https://docs.dev-docs.org/htm/search.php?find=gfa Working properly.... haven't tried them in awhile. But there is the source code. There is another.... JoyBBS, that I have to find... I think a good chunk of it is not in English (Checz?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you are interested in working on Foresight BBS I would love to work on it with you. I was never able to get it to answer the "modem" in its compiled form. But it is a very good BBS.. you can edit many items once compiled. and there are doors etc..etc.. I run bikerbobsclubhouse.ddns.net:1040 on FoReMST .. I am having issues with that at the moment.. again with the "modem" device.. wether that be a UDS serial device or a Win232 modem. But I love to tinker as well.. I have been playing for a while. I am in if you want to work on some stuff. All work on regular STs .. usually you need at least 1mb.. I assume you will get up to 4mb on that 520??

rickcollette Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Id love to; it would be kind of sporadic due to my weird schedule, plus the fact that i get really into something for a while, then move to something else, and eventually come back to the first thing... just setting expectations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
