Re: Picoleco

Wonderful!
If you achieve this - I would expect the Colecovision BIOS to be the one from the Laser 2001 Coleco module (improved/adapted as per the recent discussions). Now we even have a full disassembly so it can be easily changed to fit your needs :-)

Re: Picoleco

That is amazing! Is it mimicking the Colecovision adaptor for Laser 2001?

And I started programming BASIC there and in many ways it influenced my life. In relation to the joysticks - I hope you c...

The game plays very well on FunnyMu Unofficial via keyboard.

Re: New game! Whack 'Em Smack 'Em Byrons

Sounds very exciting I will test it asap

Re: New game! Whack 'Em Smack 'Em Byrons

I don't think CVBasic allows you to access I/O through the BIOS. I attempted that with some other system (MSX, I think) and had no luck. I'll probably have to wait for Nanochess to expand his compiler and offer direct access to the keypad... and I'm hesitant to bug the guy about it, since he's alre...

Lo il!
But the amount of spam I was getting was unparalleled! I still get some spam via the "contact us" form but thats nothing compared to the 50+ attempts of subscribing I was getting a couple of years ago.

HTTPS active on the forum and all other sites on the madrigaldesign.it server :)
It was all about creating a SSL certificate, enabling it and activating the HTTP-to-HTTPs redirects.
Works like a charm, it seems :)
