Re: Cases???

(it's crazy how few cases have ANY external drive bays anymore!) Not really. When was the last time you saw software being offered on disk or CDs? There's just not enough market for it. You can still find certain things when you look. I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 board late last summer. Not the latest &...

Re: fopen() with append

Just a quick question. I know fseek(...) isn't implemented, so does that mean fopen("file.dat", "ab") doesn't work either? \ I'm not doing a bunch of C work. But for any extensive disk I/O in cc65 it's probably best to use the cbm_ functions. Commodore disk I/O doesnt' map neatl...

Re: Crazy Solitaire

Very enjoyable rendition of this classic game, and a very polished software on this system. (for those not aware, Dusan also did various other early X16 titles - check out CrazyLander, it's still very excellent; he's one of the masters of this system :) ) One small thing I noticed- I selected "...

Re: vbcc optimizing 6502 compiler with X16 support

Just tried, and had no problem downloading the zip file... Maybe you've some antivirus software blocking the download or so ? I've tried several times. I think it may be region based .. (not really sure). I don't have any antivirus software loaded. The Download just hangs and never starts.

Re: Experimentations/getting back into the thick of it.

Ahh. Tiles & Sprites have some similarities in how they are laid out but they are not compatible. (A bare 8x8 or 16x16 or 16x8 tile in 4bpp or 8bpp mode could be also loaded as a sprite, but that's not usually how tile editors export there data). 2 bit & 1 bit tiles cannot be used this way.
