<p>ExileInParadise: The Coco Nation News stories for Episode 475, July 25, 2026 (July 18-24)</p> <hr /> <div>The Coco Nation News stories for Episode 475, July 25, 2026 (July 18-24)<br /> ========================================================================<br /> Collected and Presented by L.

This takes some of the system calls that are done both by<br /> CoVDG (which is the Coco 1&amp;2 / Level 1 graphics package, but added high res<br /> screen support for directly writing to graphics RAM for Coco 3 modes –<br /> and even included the 160x192x16 mode that is not supported in the native<br /> Coco 3 drivers (or Super Extended BASIC, for that matter) at all). This is<br /> something that was done in a different way in the famed Level II upgrade, and<br /> means one can save value system space while retaining all the functionality:<br /> https://github.com/nitros9project/nitros9/pull/367<br /> He also uploaded “coco-codex-pet”, an animated custom pet using ChatGPT<br /> based on the Coco character from the original BASIC manuals:<br /> https://github.com/DrPitre/coco-codex-pet<br /> <br /> 3) Richard Stephens has released a full how-to manual for setting up<br /> Fujinet-pc and XRoar for the Coco in the #fujinet channel on the Coco<br /> Discord and in the Coco Facebook group:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164562707412641/<br /> <br /> 4) William Astle has released lwtools version 4.25. This contains bug<br /> fixes and extra features like bitwise shift operators (using &lt;&lt; and &gt;&gt;):<br /> http://www.lwtools.ca/<br /> <br /> 5) Paul Cunningham released a short video showing multiple Coco emulators<br /> and an early prototype of the sequencer engine for a new game based on<br /> his Bare Naked Forth:<br /> https://youtu.be/OE9EB_S6ZrQ?si=d4k32m8LZl2cxyo9<br /> <br /> 6) William Athing provided a link to Fujinet for the Dragon 32/64 that is<br /> being made by FutureVision Research:<br /> https://www.fvresearch.com/product/fujinet-for-dragon-rev0000/<br /> <br /> 7) Allen Huffman put up a blog covering Color TRS-DOS – the set of<br /> utilities and driver code to allow assembly language programmers to access<br /> disks at the file level, rather than the raw sector level that Disk Extended<br /> BASIC’s “legal<br /> “ ROM calls used. Brian Wieseler has full commented source for this and<br /> Robert’s original manuals for it that were supplied to Tandy to basically<br /> give away, but it didn’t show up with many programs (Disk Edtasm+ being<br /> the main one).<br /> https://subethasoftware.com/2026/07/21/unraveling-the-mysteries-of-color-trsdos/<br /> <br /> 8) Retro Islander posted an hour long video (and says a second will be coming<br /> out later to talk about the ChatGPT component of it in more detail), which<br /> he used in developing the game (ChatGPT Sol and Codex to be specific). It<br /> is a Coco 3 version of the arcade classic LadyBug:<br /> Demo of game state right now:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO9B9HP8kYs&amp;t=1118s<br /> <br /> 9) Tristan Robichaud has been doing updates to his manual for the ESP32-Coco<br /> (by Cedric Beaudoin):<br /> https://github.com/mast4rbug/ESP32-CoCo<br /> <br /> 10) Reinaldo Torres has released his TTGO-VGA32-COCO, a Coco 2 and 3 hardware<br /> emulator (both on the same firmware) which uses a LiyGO TTGO VGA32 board:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164442530407641/<br /> <br /> 11) Alishar Hugo posted photos of replacement Dragon motherboards (version<br /> 2.1) and mentions working on a “more radical” Rev 3. But if one zooms<br /> the photo, this is Julian Brown’s boards. Does he have a second Facebook<br /> name/account, or somebody stealing credit for his work?<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164494430037641/<br /> <br /> 12) Erico Patricio Monteiro released an animated GIF showing a heavily<br /> artifacted tank game that he is working on (I presume written in ugBASIC?). He<br /> may be on the show today to talk about it:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164574145682641/<br /> <br /> 13) Carlos Camacho uploaded an artifact color Coco 1&amp;2 image showing a<br /> mountainous landscape. He says he uploaded the source code to draw it as well:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164559254917641/<br /> <br /> 14) Ronivon Costa posted photos and a video into the Clube Color Brasil<br /> group in Facebook with his CP-400 color with an SRAM expansion, daughterboard<br /> with connectors for 2 joysticks, VGA, Sdcard slot, audio, ESP32 and more:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/ClubeColor/posts/27238750909159265/<br /> <br /> 15) Allen Leno posted a link to his case design for the joystick option<br /> for the ESP32 Coco:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/4262638377332924/posts/4393900237540070/<br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1)<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) YouTube channel Retro Recenzent has started making game play videos for<br /> Coco games (all Coco 1&amp;2 so far) in alphabetical order (similar to what<br /> HighRetroGameLord did some years ago). He has 3-D Breakaway, 3D-Ghostmania<br /> and 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe so far. They are using AI for the voice, so it does<br /> have odd pronunciations at time (or maybe he speaks a different language<br /> natively?). He does give full descriptions and playthrough’s:<br /> 3-D Brickaway:<br /> https://youtu.be/LBQ5qj-bmI4?si=A72X_WITKIblrJqJ<br /> 3D-Ghostmania:<br /> https://youtu.be/fE1tMRCoxJY?si=-6CebKnNmHWjOdgj<br /> 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe:<br /> https://youtu.be/lSonwh01NPo?si=psctWOUni3Yc-He0<br /> <br /> 2) If you are on the Coco Discord and have a 512K Coco 3 (or emulator),<br /> pop into the #general-game-posts channel. Lee Perkins (leep) has put up<br /> a test version of his port of Montezuma’s Revenge for the Coco 3 for<br /> people to try and report bugs<br /> <br /> 3) Bug Twentythree on Facebook released a video of his Space Invaders port<br /> to the Coco 1&amp;2 level machines, that even incorporates the sound from the<br /> original arcade game. He also released the game itself:<br /> Video:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164548309557641/<br /> Download (both .BIN and .CAS formats):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/files/files<br /> <br /> 4) BugTwentythree’s new Space Invaders game for the Coco 1/2/3 is now<br /> available for the Dragon as well, thanks to Pere Serrat:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11360<br /> <br /> 5) Chronologically Gaming covers another Coco games in the latest episode<br /> covering games released sometime in 1982. This time he covers Box Shoot,<br /> a game from the December 1982 issue of Chromasette tape magnazine:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NxPjLLsLVg&amp;t=539s<br /> <br /> 6) “super Mario glichy 4” on YouTube has released an hour long video<br /> showing various clones and ports of Ms. PacMan, which includes MRS PAC<br /> and Miss Gobbler (and somehow missing the best port, Ms. Maze by Tom Mix):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edOI3iXkZvE&amp;t=3764s<br /> <br /> 7) Amigo Aaron did a live stream a week ago showing TV Tie In games on<br /> a variety of platforms. For The Dallas Quest (based on the hit TV show),<br /> he chose the Coco version:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/lOO4YDyxNgo?si=MqxmElGPm-dXVJye&amp;t=7200<br /> <br /> 8) theLogBook on YouTube has released a Coco gameplay video this week as<br /> well for Megabug:<br /> https://youtu.be/JH5n3WAFxz4?si=ywRjM0gPgW12tmil<br /> <br /> 9) Tom’s Toys on YouTube put up a 20 minute video showing some vector<br /> and B/W games for the Dragon (he is using a MiSTer to emulate). He plans<br /> a followup for later games as well. He covers Meteoroids,Asteroids RX,<br /> Rommel’s Revenge, Cosmic Invaders &amp; the just released Space Invaders<br /> (see regular) news) clone this round:<br /> https://youtu.be/HG52-kiOXJc?si=1HQtkfCGQ4Wvsxmf<br /> <br /> 10) Lance Schafhausen has released the BASIC source code to his Gruntley’s<br /> Dungeon game that he released (and we covered) last week):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164555309717641/<br /> He also showed a screenshot of a graphical Program Launcher that he is<br /> working on – for the Coco 1 and 2 by the looks of it:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164555287992641/<br /> <br /> 11) Rich Stephens has released a version of the classic game Downland that<br /> now supports the Fujinet high score feature, where you can compete against<br /> high scores with other Coco or Dragon users using Fujinet over the Internet:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164561600587641/<br /> <br /> 12) Some nostalgia for the oldtimers: Michael Pittsley posted some screenshots<br /> from IMB’s (Illustrated Memory Banks, Fred Scerbo’s company) very first<br /> Coco game which appeared in the December 1981 Rainbow, called Zelda’s<br /> Bat Bottle. Fred always did Extended BASIC games with artifacted colors,<br /> some published in the magazine and others sold commercially:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164569915607641/<br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

He also notes in the comments that he<br /> is not planning on doing a 3rd run until maybe this fall:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/4262638377332924/posts/4388957741367653/<br /> <br /> 7) Tristan Robichaud has released the first draft of EPS32-Coco base<br /> documentation. He would like some feedback, as well as checking for<br /> factual errors:<br /> Announcement:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/4262638377332924/posts/4393207320942695/<br /> Download:<br /> https://github.com/mast4rbug/ESP32-CoCo<br /> <br /> 8) Edgar Pinheiro posted on the Clube Color Brasil Facebook page that he<br /> is selling his multi-pack boards, along with a photo:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/397401583720895/?multi_permalinks=26989110334123325&amp;hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen<br /> Video of it in action:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/edgar.pinheiro.14/videos/2494957724359933/<br /> <br /> 9) Michael Pittsley started an interesting discussion in the Coco Facebook<br /> group, asking that since many people have now gotten hardware and software<br /> for the Coco that they couldn’t afford when young but now have; do people<br /> use the Coco in modern times for more than just games, and if so, for what?<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164536348097641/<br /> <br /> 10) Allen Huffman did a post about the 1995 Coco 3 dual direction hardware<br /> scrolling 16 color graphic screen demo that Sock Master (John Kowalski) did,<br /> as he did not recall seeing it at the time of release (it originally came<br /> it on Frank Swygert’s World of 68 Micros magazine). This is pure BASIC;<br /> no assembly language routines at all:<br /> https://subethasoftware.com/2026/07/14/sockmasters-2-way-scrolling-in-basic/<br /> <br /> 11) Coco Town returns with a deep dive on how BASIC handles the keyboard,<br /> and even how the Dragon ROM’s improved on the Coco version:<br /> https://youtu.be/tzZRDFCFvxA?si=rzkYfPgWd_HOG4ff<br /> <br /> 12) Lee Perkins has released several videos showing different aspects of<br /> his port of Montezuma’s Revenge to the Coco 3.

He was active on the<br /> Cocolist for decades:<br /> https://goldsteinfuneralchapel.com/tribute/details/772<br /> <br /> 15) Dennis Page wants to know what roms work on a CoCo1 with 64K?<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10164535715032641/<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Scott Gilson is looking into starting manufacturing of the MCX32-SD again,<br /> since they very rarely come out anymore from zippsterzone.com. If you are<br /> interested in one (or more), let him know on his Facebook MC-10 group post:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/27336350052731791/<br /> <br /> 2) Allen Huffman did his first MC-10 blog post on his Sub-Etha Software<br /> site.

The<br /> poster mention that “This is a gmae with an AI component modified to work<br /> on the TRS-80 Micro Color Computer (“MC-10”) using Micro Color BASIC<br /> from the author’s published source code”. I am not sure what this means?<br /> Games include: Gomoku, “The other Star Trek game”, Oregon Trail,<br /> Hangman, Composer, Hamurabi, Caves1, Lemonade Stand, Hunt the Wumpus<br /> https://www.youtube.com/@freerollsclub/videos<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Retrobat on YouTube did a video showing video previews of a variety of<br /> Coco games for the Retrobat front end, with 316 Coco games total so far:<br /> https://youtu.be/5ThWa6EgKPo?si=PZ3RHblO_QSTB3SU<br /> <br /> 2) Ken Reighard has now released a commercial for Meteor Mess, his SG-12<br /> conversion of the Intellivision classic, Astro Smash:<br /> https://youtu.be/jAWZXJbUJQU?si=-lyzm6ljTBjN9i70<br /> His itch.io page (including Meteor Mess):<br /> https://kenscococorner.itch.io/<br /> <br /> 3) Lance Schafhausen made another Coco group Facebook post about his game<br /> Gruntely’s Dungeon, including some cover art:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164516436242641/<br /> <br /> 4) Alex Gayer posted a DSK image of a Battlship clone for 32K Extended<br /> BASIC Coco’s to the Coco Facebook group; a work in progress but playable:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164516614222641/<br /> He earlier posted a screenshot of it running in emulation along with a<br /> quick IDE preprocessor he “whipped up”:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164516415007641/<br /> <br /> 5) Dr. Boisy Pitre posted a link to Rich Lucente’s first public release of<br /> his native Z-Machine interpreter for NitrOS9 (and compatible with Version 3<br /> story files). This is the Infocom engine written in OS9 Assembly language,<br /> which will allow all of the classic Infocom text adventures to run under<br /> OS-9/NitrOS9:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164528820297641/<br /> <br /> 6) Richard Kelly has released version 1.00 of “The Ugly Transforming<br /> Maze”, which is a port he has been working on for a few weeks.

Oct<br /> 2-Oct 4 at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel at the Cincinnati Airport:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/events/896272716427805/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22attachment%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22newsfeed%22%7D]%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3Anull%7D<br /> <br /> The 2nd VCF Montreal dates have been announced, and they have moved a few<br /> months ahead to avoid the dead of winter (it was in January earlier this<br /> year; the next one is November 7-8 this year as well):<br /> https://cvcfed.org/vcf-montreal-2-0/<br /> <br /> That same weekend, and newly added to the list, is the next RetroSC retro<br /> computer/gaming show in Brazil that usually features a large contingent<br /> of Coco clones (CP-400, Codimex, etc.), which is happening November 7,<br /> 2026 in Florianoplois, Brazil:<br /> Portuguese site (try Google Translate, etc. to translate):<br /> https://retrosc.org/<br /> <br /> NEWS:<br /> =====<br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Julian Brown has posted update 3 video blog about his Super SAM/VDG<br /> board update, this time covering sprites:<br /> https://youtu.be/IMoklF2iiq4?si=1U-ih6caFOy3eEj8<br /> <br /> Coco 1/2/3 (and multi-platform)<br /> -------------------------------<br /> 1) Grant Bloedow posted a YouTube short showing his beta of a server<br /> based implementation of the XRoar emulator with a fujinet server (using<br /> the Becker port). It also adapts to a web interface and can run on phones,etc.<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/nFmITESf9io?si=ksIXTl_n1T5S7v2n<br /> <br /> 2) Allen Huffman put up a blog post explaining some of the quirky behaviour<br /> of the PPOINT command in Extended Color BASIC, depending on PMODE and<br /> SCREEN settings:<br /> https://subethasoftware.com/2026/06/23/what-you-pset-is-not-always-what-you-ppoint/<br /> <br /> 3) Keith Frechette has started a project called “Li’l Commander” based<br /> on Robert Kilgus’ Color TRSDOS that came with EDTASM+. This is a set of<br /> routines to make file handling much easier than doing straight Disk ROM<br /> calls, and I think Brian Wieseler actually has a more modern version that<br /> Robert did back in the day. The new program by Keith is callable by the<br /> DOS command, and he mentions in his Facebook post that he has more planned:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164438485797641/<br /> <br /> 4) Robert Sitton has released video of his BOING.DSK challenge, which<br /> shows ray tracing to do the “warp bubble” effect on a graphic image<br /> on the Coco. In the comments he has video of an optimized, faster version<br /> that does 3 such bubbles at once:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164438315277641/<br /> <br /> 5) Reinaldo Torres has announced his TTGO-VGA32-COCO, which is an emulator<br /> that uses that quite cheap LilyGO TTGO VGA32 board. From his post on the<br /> Coco Discord:<br /> “After several months of hard work, I am happy to finally share my latest<br /> project with you all! Say hello to TTGO-VGA32-COCO, an emulator built to<br /> bring the legendary Tandy Color Computer experience to ultra-affordable<br /> hardware. If you have a LilyGO TTGO VGA32 board lying around (or are<br /> looking for a great reason to buy one for just a few bucks), this project<br /> turns it into a self-contained CoCo powerhouse! Some of the key features:<br /> - Single Unified Firmware: No need to flash different files for different<br /> setups. One firmware handles everything.<br /> - Online Switching: Seamlessly toggle dynamically between a CoCo 2 and<br /> CoCo 3 environment right from the interface.<br /> - Fully Embedded &amp; Standalone: Runs entirely on the cheap LilyGO board. All<br /> you need to get started is a standard PS/2 keyboard, a PS/2 mouse, and<br /> an SD card loaded with your favorite software.<br /> I’ve put a lot of long nights into tweaking this to get it running<br /> smoothly, and I would love for you guys to flash it, play around with it,<br /> and let me know what you think!”<br /> Github link:<br /> https://github.com/reyco2000/TTGO-VGA32-COCO<br /> <br /> 6) Thomas Cherryhomes posted where to get the test builds of Fujinet &amp;<br /> emulator combo downloads for Android that can run Atari 8 bit, Apple II,<br /> Adam, MSX, and of course the Coco:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164437237882641/<br /> <br /> 7) Dennis M.

His warning at the<br /> beginning: “This is stupid. Don’t bother trying it”:<br /> https://subethasoftware.com/2026/06/16/a-slightly-faster-mid-using-varptr/<br /> <br /> 3) Jeff Noyle posted some updates to his Mythfarer game (that can run,<br /> even with the same save files, on both a PC and a 512K Coco 3) on the Coco<br /> Discord. These include:<br /> Music and sound effects for PC version only. Their are sound effects in<br /> the Coco version:<br /> https://youtu.be/RCIJsM53TOc<br /> Throwable potions (“Rock Wall” in this case) (up the volume for this):<br /> (show local file “Mythfarer-ThrowablePotions.mp4”<br /> After that is a progressively drawn title, scrolls, added potions, the<br /> ferry can take you to the continent from the islands, fog effects:<br /> (show 5 local local PNG files)<br /> <br /> 4) Glen Hewlett has released CC3_Comp, a compressor and packer program<br /> for the PC that will work with his Coco 3 Super Loader, which allows<br /> full 2MB RAM access (including to MMU blocks that BASIC normally uses)<br /> and compressed file loading):<br /> (show local copy of the manual)<br /> Downloads for all major OS’s on his github page:<br /> https://github.com/nowhereman999/CC3x0_Project/tree/main<br /> <br /> 5) Grant Bloedow posted a utility he wrote to make designing levels for<br /> Rick Adams’s Temple of ROM game easier to make to the Coco Facebook group:<br /> (see screeshot in comments to the post)<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164399895887641/<br /> He also posted a save file of a sample map:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164399917602641/<br /> And a DSK image with the new level:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164399959222641/<br /> <br /> 6) Keith Frechette showed the output of his RSDOS assembly to SAL (Structured<br /> assembly language), using the CHKDIR routine from RSDOS as an example:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164395248717641/<br /> <br /> 7) Jamie Cho is working on MVKit, a framework to make it easier to write full<br /> Multi-Vue apps. He wrote a sample graphics editor program (with assistance<br /> from AI Claude), and has links to the source code and DSK image to try. I<br /> think he is using an older version of NitrOS9 and hasn’t implemented<br /> the filled circle/ellipse functions that are now built in:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164393382627641/<br /> <br /> 8) Ian Mavric posted a tease of his article on identifying floppy drive<br /> types on a Coco that is in the current June 2026 issue of Compute’s<br /> Gazette Magazine:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164401074557641/<br /> <br /> 9) Thomas Cherryhomes posted the Fujinet “Getting started” manual<br /> for the Coco, patterned off the original Operation manual for the Coco 1,<br /> and includes many screenshots to make learning it easier:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164407478302641/<br /> Manual direct link:<br /> https://fujinet.online/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/fujinet-getting-started-coco.pdf<br /> He also posted about Fujinet Go Coco – which is a project in development<br /> to bundle XRoar and Fujinet PC into an Android app for phone, tablet or PC:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164423559822641/<br /> <br /> 10) CocoTown released a new video on YouTube, “POKEing my way to faster<br /> Coco 3 file transfers”, which is talking about using DriveWire:<br /> https://youtu.be/NW8AjtJ6vHA?si=jT1Y87iJuX1t9nr6<br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1)<br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie ported Space Alert originally for the Coco from TRS-80<br /> Microcomputer News February 1982 issue (Tandy’s own magazine) to the<br /> MC-10, and it runs 4K.

After recently adding OS-9<br /> disk image support, he has now also added support for Fujinet servers<br /> (post includes a video demonstration):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164379410777641/<br /> <br /> 4) Paul Cunningham posted an update to his adding 6 bit sound to his port<br /> of Space Warp from the TRS-80 Model I, where he thinks he has most of the<br /> problems solved for inserting the sound into the main game loops (ie not<br /> interrupt driven):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/paul.cunningham/posts/pfbid02cy3HMHBJ3ZjEkm8h3AW8S161cYNkdYKnpqNf4T15E18N9vKfdU2ztNeemtNbNNx5l<br /> <br /> 5) Robert Sitton posted a video, download and description of his Dungeons<br /> of Dagobah, which he calls a 3D homage to Dungeons of Daggorath reimagined<br /> as a Star Wars descent:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164378813127641/<br /> <br /> 6) Carlos Camacho released both a screen shot &amp; download of his version of<br /> the Amigo Boing demo. He is still working on updates from the sounds of it,<br /> including adding the ball shadow:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164372838457641/<br /> Download (includes video in comments):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164370573447641/<br /> <br /> 7) Don Sorenson posted about his RGB to HDMI converter that he installed,<br /> and weirdly that he tried several USB-C bricks to power it, but only an<br /> iPhone charger was able to so without adding image noise:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164365442707641/<br /> <br /> 8) John Linville posted a link to a comparison of C compilers for the 6809<br /> done by Roger Boesch as part of a Vectrex project that he is working on. It<br /> compares the outputs of the same C code using CMOC, VBCC and GCC6809 for<br /> both speed and smallest size:<br /> https://vectrex.substack.com/p/cmoc-vs-vbcc-vs-gcc6809?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=1236748&amp;post_id=201200862&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=1xomlc&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e233_tv2_tp1_a1dennhbgldiz0<br /> <br /> 9) George Everett is looking for some help in archiving a box of 5.25”<br /> FLEX floppies, as he has no hardware capable of reading them. Any takers?<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/flexoperatingsystem/posts/1546277970194982/<br /> <br /> 10) For those interested, the Glenside Color Computer Club’s June 2026<br /> business meeting is up on YouTube:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/jPeMEnIRi2U?si=asjExJuR6mCgSj9P<br /> <br /> 11) I don’t fully understand this quick video clip, but it looks like<br /> someone may be trying to make a King Tut clone on a more modern machine?<br /> https://youtu.be/nlQexuSl_7U?si=harxqfTjOuKSl03M<br /> <br /> 12) Grant Bloedow posted a video update about his CoCoPortal Pre release,<br /> which I believe is a launcher program for running emulators, to directly<br /> run apps (rather than just booting a virtual machine and having the<br /> user do everything manually) as well as access magazines, books and<br /> more. It also allows debugging, syntax/opcode highlighting and more for<br /> developers. Grant’s description:<br /> “Here's another look as it is coming together a bit more. I've added a<br /> development environment that is just fresh with a debugger, memory view<br /> and console log. The goal is to have CMOC, BASIC, BASIC09 and 6809/6309<br /> ASM programming with syntax or opcode highlighting and immediate feedback<br /> with a compile and run into the emulator panel. PDF viewing and searches<br /> (I may have to reindex the full-text search), Magazines, tech papers, spec<br /> sheets, books and manuals. Software with immediate and saved configurations<br /> for each title. Metadata that lets you click into the new results that<br /> match the data &quot;chip&quot; such as year, publisher, author, genre. Profiles of<br /> people in the community, programmers, publishers, development houses. All<br /> have links directly to the content that relates to them.”<br /> https://youtu.be/kmlA9U7wvBo?si=7Xsxcb1wO6df1Aos<br /> <br /> 13) French YouTube channel Olipix goes through a newspaper format computer<br /> magazine called Hebdogiciel, which includes a Dragon 32 program listing<br /> (turn CC on and auto-translate):<br /> https://youtu.be/YGVNLCHcPlE?si=pa3dSaEDunvXFFU5<br /> Dragon program:<br /> https://youtu.be/YGVNLCHcPlE?si=BHmljoMpHq27cMDN&amp;t=865<br /> <br /> 14) Lee Perkins released a video update on his Coco 3 port of Montezuma’s<br /> Revenge:<br /> https://youtu.be/1gn1Sbj3HMU?si=fR6E-h009d3LVv09<br /> <br /> 15) Tyler Durden did a test of his Coco 3 BASIC BurgerTime game with<br /> “background” music at the same time as some opponents, but it is<br /> running too slow:<br /> (Show BTIME12.MP4)<br /> Removing the music sped things up enough to make it playable (although a<br /> large number of opponents may slow things down too much):<br /> (Show BTIME13.MP4)<br /> He later did another video update which shows the added ability of crushing<br /> your enemies:<br /> (Show BTIME14.MP4)<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1)<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Pere Serrat has ported Inufuto’s most recent cross platform game<br /> Sword Work to the Dragon 32/64:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11357<br /> <br /> 2) Paul Everitt posted a photo of a display for the Dragon classic game<br /> Back-Track:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/4435663783359923/<br /> <br /> 3) Paul Shoemaker posted a reminder to check out his itch.io page of Coco<br /> games, and also his “Oodles” game, which his own take on the Quarx<br /> port he did for the 8-bit guy:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164380715522641<br /> <br /> 4) Chronologically Gaming is now going through all of the games that were<br /> released in 1982 but with a completely unknown date. This week one of<br /> those games is Apples (by Bob Crispen) for the Coco 1:<br /> https://youtu.be/UFBUlF5T-Dk?si=XMScMaSMmKz9r24a&amp;t=926<br /> <br /> 5) ZXFrankie posted a high score attempt for Meteoroids on the Dragon 32<br /> on skill level 1:<br /> https://youtu.be/RJ3aeEOt-Ps?si=QrGWKBuSJOlLFfdd<br /> <br /> 6) Paul Thayer mentioned on the Coco Discord that he has released a bugfix<br /> for his recently released 512K Coco 3 game Penguin Icarus, which can be<br /> found on his itch.io page:<br /> https://pthayer100.itch.io/penguin-icarus-2026<br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

He<br /> revealed a secret, based on a story told years ago:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164345638392641/<br /> He also posted pics of a Coco 1 he just got that has some mods to it<br /> including heat sinks on multiple chips. I think it’s an older motherboard<br /> – D or E perhaps?<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164360990737641/<br /> <br /> 4) Mike Horgan posted on the Coco Facebook group that he has released his<br /> CocoCas2Way.s, adding the capability to make DSK images as well:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164345181737641/<br /> <br /> 5) Jeff Vaughn posted a poll on the Coco Facebook group asking about how<br /> people feel about Coco MAME emulation:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164343795432641/<br /> <br /> 6) Rich Stephens announced an update to Fujinet’s Coco 3 VT100 terminal:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164339452577641/<br /> <br /> 7) Cedric Beaudoin posted on the ESP32-Coco group on Facebook that he<br /> is now sold out of the joystick add on option for the current batch,<br /> but plans on making more in the next batch:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/4262638377332924/posts/4342870872643007/<br /> <br /> 8) After I mentioned a really cool demo that Sock Master wrote way back<br /> in pure BASIC that showed two way hardware scrolling, Allen Huffman typed<br /> it in and released a video showing it in action:<br /> https://youtu.be/eq0hrpFDFqA?si=Z1dJ_bZwvhaZYU9w<br /> He also released a video showing the VDG timing tricks (switching between<br /> graphics and text screens) that Ciaran Anscomb wrote to show smooth hardware<br /> scrolling on the Coco 1&amp;2 and Dragon 32/64, and asked for help to understand<br /> exactly how it works:<br /> https://subethasoftware.com/2026/06/03/coco-smooth-scrolling/<br /> He also showed a graphical coarse scroll using PMODE with it’s page<br /> offset, written by Juan Castro originally:<br /> https://youtu.be/TLOhpfi46eI?si=eM9lkyR03Y-DzVFJ<br /> <br /> 9) Brian Palmer released a disk image on the Coco Facebook group that<br /> contains Dish Drawer originally by Craig Stewart for Australian Coco<br /> magazine.

He is wondering if anyone else would<br /> like to chip in and receive one of the remaining 3:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164359784752641/<br /> <br /> 12) VCF Southwest has posted Boisy’s presentation about the 12 year<br /> history of Rainbow magazine:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmcg7nbMV3c<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1)<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Some people on Facebook this past week have been showing possible<br /> designs for a modernized version of Dungeons of Daggorath. Allen Huffman<br /> found a video on YouTube done 9 years ago by user “Brain Crook” that<br /> was doing the exact same thing:<br /> https://youtu.be/NG_YCatnepo?si=57rieGBUUAO1dXJc<br /> Some of the other people looking into this this week using AI include:<br /> Robert Sitten used vector style graphics:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/reel/1981395615848644<br /> J. Edward Higginbothom posted screenshots of full color, shaded images<br /> along with the original Daggorath ones for comparison, with ChatGPT:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164351645637641/<br /> So, what does the panel and chat think of this? There are over 100<br /> comments already, with some wanting nothing to do with “updating”<br /> a classic killer Coco app, but others who love the idea of playing the<br /> game on modern machines but with completely updated graphics and sound<br /> (we already have had a Windows straight port for decades)?<br /> <br /> 2) Marc Maltais released a DSK image on the Coco Facebook group that has<br /> 18 games in french from the book “Jeux en Basic sur TRS-80 Couleur”. He<br /> plans on releasing an english version as well:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164345361212641/<br /> <br /> 3) Wikipedia recently got a page entry for Pinball Factory – a game that<br /> started on the Coco from Michtron but got ported to the Atari ST as well<br /> with enhancemnts by the same author (Kary McFadden):<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Factory<br /> <br /> 4) Chinop on YouTube released a few Coco 1 &amp; 2 gameplay videos:<br /> Nuclear Avenger (I think this was from Chromasette or T&amp;D tape magnazines?):<br /> https://youtu.be/j_Rwh_knSYc?si=QeZR0GmkNuZKew4R<br /> Zonx (from Rainbow magazine):<br /> https://youtu.be/5Pk6WdQfqrE?si=iUOlq2G9Sq1diYh3<br /> <br /> 5) 8-Bit Basic on YouTube released a video going through 10 different<br /> retro computer versions of Ski Trek, a type in game by Joey Latimer in<br /> the February 1984 issue of Family Computing magazine. This includes a Coco<br /> version, and a C-64 version that he updated. Coco version at 14:52:<br /> https://youtu.be/4XIBi5az28c?si=uNMZxTxnF32_v0pZ<br /> <br /> 6) Attempts: A gaming channel (by LRU) posted a high score attempt video<br /> for the Dragon game Perilous Pit (a BASIC platform game):<br /> https://youtu.be/8MOPN8eJ_T8?si=SA0TbHs_fVNyI-oO<br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

This<br /> is using the GIME hardware 80 column character set, so no ANSI graphics<br /> symbols, but it does support color and European characters:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164318369597641/<br /> <br /> 8) Carlos Camacho posted on the Coco Facebook group about his using some<br /> pixel editors for PMODE 3 and PMODE 4 graphics that one can do from a<br /> browser, including an online interpretation of CocoMax and another called<br /> Color SpriteX (with a more modern interface along the lines of Deluxe Paint):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164315719567641/<br /> And 2 followups:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/?multi_permalinks=10164334800902641&amp;hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164334890197641/<br /> <br /> <br /> 9) Kamil Gorgh Trzaska posted a video showing a spinning 3D cube (using<br /> polygons) video that he made with help from Simon Jonassen 3 years back. This<br /> runs ona 64K Coco 1 or 2:<br /> Post with link to raw .BIN file:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164307749832641/<br /> Video:<br /> https://youtu.be/hi9R_fpHCv8?si=jLjbi-fTvSGIEE6T<br /> <br /> 10) Brian Palmer posted a DSK image containing a Coco 3 BASIC graphics<br /> program that draws Elvis Presley, originally by Bill Baldacchino from<br /> Coco-Link magazine to the Coco Facebook group (it even lets one play an<br /> Elvis cassette in the background via the cassette port):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164302837697641/<br /> <br /> 11) Paul Cunningham posted a video showing his running a Coco 2 emulator<br /> on a 1.8” OLED touchscreen:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164300104452641/<br /> <br /> 12) Peter (8bitsinthebasement) posted a video about his trying out Cedric<br /> Beaudoin’s ESP32-Coco:<br /> https://youtu.be/rSIgg4Kzkj8?si=GQzNVPLNKwfZIe0f<br /> <br /> 13) The Laird’s Lair on YouTube did a 5 Unreleased American Home Computers<br /> episode, and the Coco 4 is one of the 5. Unfortunately, he mixed the<br /> Deluxe Coco and the Coco 4 together, but it was cool to see unreleased<br /> Coco’s mentioned.<br /> https://youtu.be/LPRzlE17Xh4?si=WG7eQ00AUDKImlGz&amp;t=530<br /> <br /> 14) Cedric Beaudoin posted that his second batch of ESP32-Coco’s is<br /> about to enter manufacturing, and will cost $5 more than the previous<br /> batch. But this is because there are new features on the new revision of<br /> the board. Namely, an option port that can get an add on to use real Coco<br /> joysticks, HDMI output (although he mentions it’s only be tested on one<br /> TV so far, although a DVI adaptor should work fine), and a real cassette<br /> port (an experimental feature):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/4262638377332924/?multi_permalinks=4342870872643007&amp;hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen<br /> <br /> 15) Don Sorensen posted some photos of repainted floppy drive and MPI<br /> enclosures, taking advantage of his job being a collision car painter –<br /> he can perfectly match just about anything:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/?multi_permalinks=10164328418802641&amp;hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen<br /> <br /> 16) Paul Cunningham posted a 5 minute video on the Coco Facebook group<br /> showing his Waveshare RP2350 PiZero running Coco 2 emulation. It’s still<br /> a work in progress, but seems to be working well so far:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164328903047641/<br /> <br /> 17) TRS-80 Retro Programing released an episode showing how to use PDF<br /> Draw to create Coco 3 Character sprites on virtual 320x192 graph paper,<br /> and he also gives an update on a couple of other projects:<br /> https://youtu.be/7WhqLkVp980?si=RnWZI2h1T8cQOkoR<br /> <br /> 18) Jim Mullis put up a video showing 256x225x16 2 pixel scrolling using<br /> Sundog’s GrafExpress 16 and some ASM routines (go in two minutes to show<br /> the actual scrolling):<br /> https://youtu.be/Fs0CV9RhqyU?si=WlpPBLgReLFemg-m<br /> And 4 pixel scrolling:<br /> https://youtu.be/x4Y8tWsBur0?si=gY8DtPPoaFOoJhBK<br /> <br /> 19) Marco Spedaletti has announced that version 1.18.1 of ugBASIC has been<br /> released. This includes support for SG4 graphics (including loading/saving<br /> images) on the Coco, dynamic strings, and more:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164334423162641/<br /> <br /> 20) Jim Brain has posted some photos from VCF Southwest (going on now)<br /> to his Retro Innovations page, including photos of Boisy Pitre’s &amp;<br /> Brendan Donahe’s booths:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/go4retro/posts/pfbid02xSV3MWQsordWVca7Gb7S2f8H1sPwMEqcyhG6nRVQrC9aQre73Vk8fhdqav49iDGAl<br /> <br /> 21) Tyler Durden uploaded a video showing his progress in making a Coco<br /> 3 Burgertime game strictly in BASIC, like his PacMan game:<br /> (Show local file “Tyler Durden-BTIME9.mp4”<br /> <br /> 22) Boisy Pitre posed on the Coco Discord about his vibe-coded Python<br /> interpreter for BASIC09, and a link to his github:<br /> https://github.com/DrPitre/basic09<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Industrial Retro Gamer on YouTube posted a video (part 1 of 3) about<br /> his Tandy computer collection. In this episode he covers his Model 100<br /> and his MC-10:<br /> https://youtu.be/8NQN4hekw7M?si=OyLfBQ0K1IVzBE2m<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Renga in Blue reviewed “Deed of York”, originally written by Chris<br /> Harland based on ideas from Chris Harland. This was for the first Rainbow<br /> Adventure writing contest:<br /> https://bluerenga.blog/2026/05/18/deed-of-the-york-1983/<br /> <br /> 2) Jim Gerrie ported ArdiMaze, originally written as a BASIC 10 liner<br /> game by Ardi Ardi on May 25th in the Facebook BASIC programming group. The<br /> player has to navigate a changing maze from left to right, and runs in 4K:<br /> https://youtu.be/YBr1ASOcvaY?si=_fp_O12y2MJkeNWh<br /> <br /> 3) Paul Cordingley posted about the Coco game Draconian, and how it actually<br /> changed and improved play from the original arcade Bosconian that it was<br /> loosely based on. I totally agree with that sentiment:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164316064232641/<br /> <br /> 4) As mentioned by Rick last week, Penguin Icarus by Paul Thayer has been<br /> released. This is an ML arcade style game that was originally a Super<br /> Extended BASIC game by Nick Bradbury and published in Rainbow back in the<br /> April 1990 issue. The new version requires RGB, a disk drive and 512K of RAM<br /> (show demo recording from VCC):<br /> https://pthayer100.itch.io/penguin-icarus-2026<br /> <br /> 5) Vincent Tran posted his Git repo for the AI assisted ML Coco 3 game<br /> he wrote with Chat-GPT Pro &amp; Thinking, called Space Raid. He noted in<br /> an earlier post that it took Claude 10-15 tries to get it to even run,<br /> and about 50 to get it playing properly:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164311209347641/<br /> Video gameplay (turn volume down a bit):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164309908572641/<br /> Download of DSK image:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164309967972641/?__cft__[0]=AZZgKA8-EqJeIdIaV9jgNfimF-w3Vs-4qpUhVdDnb6Pa0Z7O-O0nj4ZMO86IVFIL15WZUJta1ImXtx4hPZP1Vr-1MsrRhyY_Z92KBYnvGnqBBEGyc-9szwej4CZCCc3AKtIeEqfzyH7j_xEmtNv5wFzT&amp;__tn__=-UK-R<br /> github:<br /> https://github.com/tequestafarian/space-raid-coco3<br /> <br /> 6) Nostalgiavault on YouTube posted game play and high score attempt videos<br /> of a multitude of Inufuto games, both the Coco 1&amp;2 and Coco 3 versions:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/@nostalgivault3439/videos<br /> <br /> 7) Ayeka 2 on YouTube posted a 3&amp;1/2 minute video showing the risque text<br /> adventure Wet T-Shirt contest:<br /> https://youtu.be/phX6UibUY14?si=TZccgMi8MuDjz4yN<br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

Autoswitches<br /> to CoCo2, just bring luck. <br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64 <br /> ------------ <br /> <br /> 1 ) Imma just leave this here. A channel I can't pronounce 'Lo que merece<br /> ser escuchado' discusses the Dragon for a solid 15 minutes. What about? No<br /> clue. Have to follow the link! <br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9snO3bP_cpQ <br /> <br /> 2 ) Julian Brown updates flex PCB, the only bit I understand is getting<br /> the chips wrong way up the first time. And Dragon users here to explain? <br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/permalink/4414079078851727/ <br /> <br /> 2b) and then, early signs of impending doom.

It<br /> of course exploded. The debugging begins... <br /> https://www.facebook.com/jimbro1000/videos/1681635349706900/?idorvanity=1602723113320685<br /> <br /> <br /> 2e) and fixed. Watch the forums or fall behind! So, CPLD assimulated. <br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/permalink/4413941812198787/ <br /> <br /> 2f) he also updated his ram repair board. For some D32 with 4116<br /> 'timebomb' DRAMS, this uses single voltage DRAM with no detonator. <br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/permalink/4411663869093248/ <br /> <br /> <br /> Coco 1/2/3 (and multi-platform) <br /> ------------------------------- <br /> <br /> 1 ) Don Sorensen broken his floppy. We advise. Note this is a moldy old<br /> belt drive.

Want a CoCo<br /> smartwatch? <br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10164295115352641/<br /> <br /> <br /> 3 ) Mathew Ward scores a CCR-81 and has CoCo2 and MC10 operational. You<br /> can tell he is new, still _likes_ tape. <br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10164288665297641/<br /> <br /> <br /> 3b) he'd also like to hear about modern docs. There are some good<br /> suggestions in the comments. <br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10164295672992641/<br /> <br /> <br /> 4 ) Happy Birthday, Hebert Vargas! <br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10164301297247641/<br /> <br /> <br /> 5) Tonino Giagnacovo with more drive porn. A belt drive TEC with speed<br /> issues. Seems oddly familiar. <br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10164298729027641/<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 7 ) TRS-80 Retro Programing covers CoCo colors <br /> <br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=040EFO9Ego4 <br /> 03:04 - 64 color chart <br /> 06:05 - Olympus concept <br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10 <br /> ----- <br /> <br /> 1 ) This week on Jim Gerrie ports! Richarl Beal's Star Trek from NASCOM<br /> basic programs bk 1 to MC-10 <br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o08AfAIfThM <br /> <br /> 1b) also 'Vectors' by Geoff Wells. As you might fear, it's navigating<br /> a river using 'Kentucky Windage' and math(s) <br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB6jpYXoEPM <br /> <br /> <br /> 2 ) Jay Mundy volunteers Agent Deluxe for duty. Nice undercover ID -<br /> a harmless old guy with bad knees. Ha! <br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtSanNnO0zM <br /> <br /> 3 ) John Papas has a CoCo laptop. Does it have a bettery? If not, is it<br /> a laptop? <br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/permalink/26657176880649115/<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Upcoming conventions/trade shows of interest to Coco people: <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> <br /> 1) The next live TRS-80 Trash Talk podcast will be streamed live on YouTube<br /> today, 7pm Eastern.

A few people answered that were involved with<br /> some of those, and I remember a lot of people back then used Master Key (I<br /> think that was the name) program and hardware to “crack” said programs:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10164237367677641/<br /> <br /> 3) Stephen Walters posted a video (and github link) to the Coco Facebook<br /> group where he had ChatGPT help write a keyboard synthesizer music playing<br /> project for the Coco:<br /> Facebook post/description:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/1584107075216002/<br /> Github:<br /> https://github.com/voidstar78/CoCoSynth<br /> Video:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFH8dtNxrqM<br /> <br /> 4) Brian Blake posted a blog post about whether recapping old computers<br /> is worth it or not, and when it is justifiable:<br /> https://tandy-trs80.com/recap-this/<br /> <br /> 5)Cedric Beaudoin uploaded a quick demo video showing a new feature of<br /> his ESP-32 Coco – the adding of load and save states.:<br /> https://youtu.be/XUouTaKdhv0?si=bAsRXxEus5_6DNRE<br /> The full update just came out, and here is a full list of the features:<br /> Added feature: CoCo 3 Firmware<br /> This is the firmware V 1.04<br /> for Board Revision V1.2<br /> -Added Hardware and Software revision in the Menu<br /> -Added F9 to save a Screenshot.

This is a cross platform<br /> compiler that can be hosted on OSX, Windows an Linux:<br /> https://youtu.be/NFae-Dy3J3o?si=RDb4X6PKQDYUU60_<br /> <br /> 8) Retro Islander on YouTube (Jason Ross) put up a video showing his using<br /> Claude Code AI to generate C code to make a version of M.U.L.E. for the<br /> Coco 3 with NitrOS9 Level II (1st actual DCC code shown running around<br /> 58:30 in). He is calling it Planet Pioneers:<br /> https://youtu.be/ifwRzb897CQ?si=91yHOCwsU3AQvRUQ<br /> <br /> 9) Tyler Durden (Coco Synthesis, who did the BASIC PacMan for the Coco 3<br /> we played on the Game On Challenge) is working on a Coco 3 BASIC version<br /> of Burger Time, from the looks of some questions and video clips he posted<br /> to the Coco Discord:<br /> (Show local file “Recording BTIME2.mp4” in Coco Nations News folder)<br /> <br /> 10) YouTube channel frozenbeefpie (Luc Dion) put up a quick video showing<br /> a joystick testing program he wrote, originally to test the joysticks on<br /> the ESP-32 Coco:<br /> https://youtu.be/2jBFQM8EuqM?si=ToYrsFgco1QadTZA<br /> DSK image download &amp; Facebook post:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/4262638377332924/posts/4320520784878016/<br /> <br /> 11) BlackStone on YouTube released a 2 minute video showing a first test<br /> run of a machine code scroller, with just one scroll working so far.

There has been Coco content on there<br /> before; will there be this year? 7 guests have already been booked as of<br /> this week. It starts at 4:30 pm EST on May 2:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/@AmigosRetroGaming<br /> <br /> VCF-SW (Southwest) is at a slightly different date this year (May 29-31)<br /> because of the Soccer championships, and is happening at the Westin<br /> Dallas Forth Worth Airport. This is of course where Tandy/Radio Shack was<br /> headquartered, so expect some alumni to be popping by!<br /> https://www.vcfsw.org/<br /> <br /> Retro Fest in the UK is running May 30-31st at the STEAM Museum of<br /> Great Western Railway in Swindon, 10 am to 5 pm both days, and there is<br /> confirmation that a Dragon Fujinet rig will be shown at the show:<br /> https://www.retrofest.uk/<br /> <br /> The International Retro Computer Expo 2026 now has tickets available (this<br /> was formerly BoatFest, ran by the Amigos – John, Aaron and Brent) for<br /> their retro show happening July 10-11 (Friday/Saturday) (July 9/Thursday<br /> vendors can set up in the evening). This is a general retro show for old<br /> home computers, consoles and more, with gaming highlighted:<br /> https://www.ticketsource.com/ircexpo2025/international-retro-computer-expo-2026/2026-07-10/09:00/t-qmjplra<br /> <br /> VCF West is August 1-2, 2026 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain<br /> View California, and there are a few local Coco people that may attend:<br /> https://vcfed.org/events/vintage-computer-festival-west/<br /> <br /> VCF-MW (Midwest) is September 12-13 at the Schaumburg Convention Center<br /> in Schaumburg, Illinois (west of Chicago proper):<br /> https://vcfmw.org/<br /> <br /> Tandy Assembly dates and new venue have been announced on Facebook. Oct<br /> 2-Oct 4 at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel at the Cincinnati Airport:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/events/896272716427805/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22attachment%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22newsfeed%22%7D]%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3Anull%7D<br /> <br /> The 2nd VCF Montreal dates have been announced, and they have moved a few<br /> months ahead to avoid the dead of winter (it was in January earlier this<br /> year; the next one is November 7-8 this year as well):<br /> https://cvcfed.org/vcf-montreal-2-0/<br /> <br /> <br /> NEWS:<br /> =====<br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Julian Brown let me know that Curtis didn't have everything quite right<br /> talking about some of his Dragon stories last week.<br /> From Julian:<br /> &quot;Just watched yesterday's show, just wanted to say nice try on the slot<br /> covering my core board for the rev 4 but not quite on target. The PLCC<br /> (square) socket is for the character rom, not a CPU. The CPU in question<br /> is held in the FPGA - allowing for either a very fast standalone master<br /> CPU (disabling the main CPU), a symmetrical dual CPU setup using bus<br /> mastering, or an asymmetric dual CPU using time slicing (the main CPU<br /> remains responsible for handling IO and interrupts) - or you can just<br /> switch the extra CPU off. The virtual CPU can run at about 40 times the<br /> speed of an original. The SAM replacement would also allow a 63C09 to run<br /> full speed not just &quot;double&quot; speed.<br /> Technically the virtual CPU is a proven, cycle accurate reproduction of a<br /> 6809 but it doesn't have to be - you could implement most forms of 8-bit<br /> CPU (or switch between them) but then you have all the fun and games of<br /> incompatible byte code. You could also implement a more efficient 6809<br /> compatible CPU or just extend it with custom instructions such as Hitachi<br /> did. Dedicated compress/uncompress instructions spring to mind, likewise<br /> for encryption which would potentially make native access to SSL protected<br /> resources viable.<br /> The other point is about the One ROM - these are simulated ROMs based on<br /> the Raspberry Pi chip. They allow reprogramming over USB while in-system<br /> on top of all the other simple tricks of paging that we normally do for<br /> larger ROMs. One trick in particular is multiplexing the ROM so it can<br /> effectively populate multiple ROM sockets - it just needs to see the chip<br /> enable signal for each individual position.

Curtis Boyle<br /> <br /> <br /> Interview schedule:<br /> -------------------<br /> Not scheduled yet, but Logan Ward and Britt Monk have agreed to come on<br /> the show.<br /> <br /> <br /> Upcoming conventions/trade shows of interest to Coco people:<br /> ------------------------------------------------------------<br /> VCF-PNW (Pacific North West) is returning after multiple years in hiatus,<br /> and is happening May 2-3 2026 in the Tukwila Community Center in Tukwila,<br /> Washington:<br /> https://www.vcfpnw.net/<br /> <br /> The Brazil Color Computer Club has announced that their 10th meeting is<br /> on May 2:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/ClubeColor/posts/25741764422191262/<br /> <br /> That same weekend is the next online live International Computer Club show<br /> on the Twitch and YouTube channels for the Amigos. There has been Coco<br /> content on there before; will there be this year? 7 guests have already<br /> been booked as of this week. It starts at 4:30 pm EST on May 2:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/@AmigosRetroGaming<br /> <br /> VCF-SW (Southwest) is at a slightly different date this year (May 29-31)<br /> because of the Soccer championships, and is happening at the Westin<br /> Dallas Forth Worth Airport. This is of course where Tandy/Radio Shack was<br /> headquartered, so expect some alumni to be popping by!<br /> https://www.vcfsw.org/<br /> <br /> Retro Fest in the UK is running May 30-31st at the STEAM Museum of<br /> Great Western Railway in Swindon, 10 am to 5 pm both days, and there is<br /> confirmation that a Dragon Fujinet rig will be shown at the show:<br /> https://www.retrofest.uk/<br /> <br /> The International Retro Computer Expo 2026 now has tickets available (this<br /> was formerly BoatFest, ran by the Amigos – John, Aaron and Brent) for<br /> their retro show happening July 10-11 (Friday/Saturday) (July 9/Thursday<br /> vendors can set up in the evening).

He is wondering<br /> if anyone has any information on the “tele-sports IV” console:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/4383009005292068/<br /> <br /> Coco 1/2/3 (and multi-platform)<br /> -------------------------------<br /> 1) Allen Huffman posted about a 3-D Maze demo written for the Coco 3 and OS-9<br /> Level 2 and called “Toast”, that was written by Vaughn Cato back in the<br /> 1990’s. Unlike strict hallway only style 3D engines, this allowed larger<br /> rooms and more angles of view (like a wireframe Doom style engine). It was<br /> written in C; Allen isn’t sure if it has some assembly too. It seems to<br /> run at a pretty decent clip given it is running under a full operating system:<br /> https://subethasoftware.com/2026/04/20/vaughn-catos-toast-3-d-maze-engine-for-coco-os-9-level-2/<br /> UPDATE: He got permission to upload the sourcecode from Vaughn as well:<br /> https://subethasoftware.com/2026/04/23/vaughn-catos-3-d-vector-maze-demo-source-code/<br /> He posted another demo by Vaughn (who has since gone on to working computer<br /> effects in Hollywood, including blockbusters like Avatar)<br /> https://subethasoftware.com/2026/04/22/vaughn-catos-bitmap-scaling-demo/<br /> YouTube video:<br /> https://youtu.be/kC52nWqZxzs?si=d-OaAKnkymgOryu6<br /> He then posted some sourcecode for some other Sub-Etha OS-9 code from<br /> the 1990’s:<br /> https://subethasoftware.com/2026/04/24/more-misc-sub-etha-os-9-stuff-on-github/<br /> <br /> 2) CocoTown did a follow up video on how the disk controller and the<br /> Coco interact. He also talks about a bug he hit when doing the patches,<br /> concerning the NMI flag in the Disk ROM:<br /> https://youtu.be/_YxnA7QWyCA?si=ZKtjFUp0QOVqEbC2<br /> <br /> 3) Glenn Hewlett put up a video showing his video player for the Coco<br /> 3 with a CocoSDC.

It<br /> shows a real Coco 2 running, and the Centipede provides 64K RAM, Disk BASIC<br /> ROM to the Coco that has neither. It uses some techniques that Tormod’s<br /> earlier MOOH upgrade has, including a VDG corruption issue shared by both:<br /> https://youtu.be/qhJz52A-AZA?si=N2qt1cD3Ngq4-BmJ<br /> <br /> 2) Allen Huffman’s new blog entry is about the last time that he saw<br /> Steve Bjork, before Steve passed in 2023.

He used an ML draw routine by Greg Dionne in SG6 graphics<br /> mode (64x48) to speed up the low resolution 3D wireframe style graphics:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4iZF7xogjM<br /> He also updated his port of Manbiki Shounen (Shoplifting Boy) by Hiroshi<br /> Suzuki, originally published in the February 1980 issue of RAM magazine<br /> for the Commodore PET, and written in 1979.

Great reference (it's divided into 3 parts):<br /> https://cocotownretro.wordpress.com/2024/12/16/8-surprising-6809-assembly-optimizations-and-3-unsurprising-ones-part-1/<br /> <br /> 2) D. Bruce Moore and David Kroeker did a quick blog post and accompanying<br /> video with further progress on their CocoMP3 project - Testing and Selecting<br /> the best audio amplifier solution. There is also an appearance by an old<br /> Coco serial to parallel converter running a line printer, and more:<br /> https://coco.gracenote.ca/cocomp3-research-development-testing-and-selecting-the-best-audio-amplifier-solution/<br /> <br /> 3) ACKRobert has released his almost 1.5 hour walkthrough/mini-interviews<br /> of this past VCF SoCal. This includes a brief talk with Henry Strickland,<br /> who goes through the CoPiCo project (Wireless networking), Rick Ulland's<br /> Ethernet board, etc.<br /> https://youtu.be/vF2s2qcEsbQ?si=ZTQxdP7tuqbLjZla&amp;t=3298<br /> <br /> 4) Mike (&quot;seat safety switch&quot; on the Coco Discord) posted a link to his<br /> blog about Fujinet, and his experience building and using it on the Coco:<br /> https://www.leadedsolder.com/2024/12/17/coco-fujinet.html<br /> <br /> 5) Thomas Cherryhomes showed a post by Andrew Diller that is a review<br /> of Fujinet's accomplishments in 2024, including hardware and software<br /> (including the Coco):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162162731727641/<br /> Show 'fujunet 2024.jpg' from my desktop, as Facebook won't let me scale<br /> the very tall image enough to read properly<br /> <br /> 6) Terry Steege posted a teaser video on the Coco Facebook group under his<br /> Retro Tech Time brand, that will lead into a full showcase video about<br /> the AgVision - boxed and complete - which was the blue branded Videotex<br /> terminal that came out before the Coco 1 but shares it's design and a lot<br /> of it's hardware with the Coco:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162159382347641/<br /> <br /> 7) Paul Sisco posted photos (some in the comments) of a small daughterboard<br /> with wires going to multiple place on an F board Coco 1 that he has no<br /> idea what it is for. Comments have speculated about multiple things it<br /> could be - any ideas from the panel or chat?<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162156384747641/<br /> <br /> 8) I missed it when it was released (November 28), but Pierre Sarrazin<br /> released 'hiresttxt' version 0.4.2 for the CMOC compile. This redirects<br /> printf() to a hi res screen (black on green) allowing 42x24 or 42x24<br /> text. It has an option to support some VT52 terminal sequences, includes<br /> lowercase and Latin-1 characters, supports both inverse and bold on/off,<br /> works on all Coco's and can even run under OS-9 Level 1 or 2.<br /> http://perso.b2b2c.ca/~sarrazip/dev/cmoc.html<br /> (search for 'hirestxt')<br /> <br /> 9) As per usual, both the main and beta branches of ugBASIC have had<br /> updates throughout the past few weeks:<br /> Main branch changelog (mostly bugfixes to the 1.16.5 release over the past<br /> few weeks):<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/main<br /> Beta branch changelog (bug fixes plus things like support for SPRITE<br /> PRIORITY, SPRITE SET, MOB SET, FADE, etc.:<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/beta<br /> <br /> 10) Ben Cossette on YouTube posted a video of the educational Coco program<br /> &quot;Goofy Covers Government: Inside Congress&quot;, including the original multimedia<br /> voice acting that came on the tape:<br /> https://youtu.be/Zeslv_66hQY?si=9lHRvudaBoqe9Yui<br /> <br /> 11) Henry of The Break Key on YouTube (and our regular panel!) put up a<br /> special Christmas themed video showing how to use the higher semigraphics<br /> modes to create a nice Christmas scene. He uses modern tools to create<br /> the the final image on the Coco:<br /> https://youtu.be/02t30UANoy4?si=VmISPwoCXA_Dgg7W<br /> <br /> 12) EJ Jacquay has released version 2.1.9.1 of VCC this past week, which does<br /> bugfixes, enhancements to the text paste, multiple debugger enhancements,<br /> and more:<br /> Full list of changes, and download:<br /> https://github.com/VCCE/VCC/releases<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) The Clueless Engineer on YouTube released a part 1 video looking at<br /> the Matra &amp; Hachette Alice - a First look. It includes him going through<br /> the hardware, and getting the video output working:<br /> https://youtu.be/JoOMIVsprkE?si=2RQr5VJBjjomuROo<br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Ciaran posted on the World of Dragon forums in response to a user request<br /> that he has added a new ASSERT pseudo op to his ASM6809 assembler. Currently<br /> it's on the github, but hasn't had an official release yet (and he may<br /> not have time to do so before Christmas):<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&amp;t=11218<br /> <br /> 2) Dave's 8-bit basement released Dragon re-power part 1 - a video<br /> followup to his previous one we covered recently, where he now has the<br /> power supply replacement boards he was waiting for to get his Dragon 32 up<br /> and running. This video shows soldering the parts and wires onto the board:<br /> https://youtu.be/P5vSDNjBuJ8?si=GlgtagFiOCkYrKgP<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) As speculated last week, the MC-10 version of Paul Shoemaker's Christmas<br /> Match game has been released for free on his itch.io page. Is is in the<br /> .C10 cassette format):<br /> https://pshoemaker70.itch.io/christmas-match<br /> Video demo with sound (it's doing 4 part harmony with 1 bit sound for it's<br /> little music intro):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/8720532308073514/<br /> <br /> 2) I am not sure when this article was published, but I just found out about<br /> an interview with the creator of the first Chess game on any microcomputer<br /> (Microchess), Peter Jennings. It's on a Norwegian site, but in english. It<br /> goes through the original history of Peter himself, the Kim-1 release, and<br /> mentions the other major ports (including a mention of the Coco version,<br /> which along with Peter's Checkers were his contribution to the Coco's<br /> launch titles in 1980):<br /> https://spillhistorie.no/interview-with-microchess-creator-peter-jennings/<br /> <br /> 3) Jim Gerrie ported over &quot;Rubiks&quot;, originally written by Roger Safford<br /> and published as a type in listing for the CompuColor II computer from it's<br /> magazine, Colorcue (June/July 1982 issue). This program lets one both play,<br /> and have the computer solve, a Rubik's cube:<br /> https://youtu.be/30h6354Iu9k?si=aPBiDSLHXS27GZTT<br /> WAV file download from Google Drive:<br /> https://drive.google.com/file/d/10HhvW22xPej6TpwhYgOp_LjF0RSofG4W/view<br /> <br /> 4) UK retro games podcast Retro Asylum released episode 343: 8 Bit Wars<br /> Budget Edition. This reviews games on a variety of 8 bit systems, focusing<br /> on the cheap, budget titles. The Dragon and Coco get mentioned a few times<br /> (24:20 is where they ask their American co-host about the market in the US in<br /> this time period, and he mentions the Coco specifically). The majority of the<br /> show is comparing ports of the same game on the C64, Spectrum and BBC Micro:<br /> https://youtu.be/FR63vL7iPkc?si=nWuaiZ4nkZJOhPdU<br /> <br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

They have<br /> a theme this meetup about the TRS-80, and since David Kroeker, D. Bruce<br /> Moore and myself are all planning on attending, there will definitely be<br /> a Coco flavor as well:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/events/870247295316209/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22surface%22%3A%22group%22%7D]%7D<br /> <br /> Virtual Coco/Tandy Fest is January 25, 2025, and now has it's own website<br /> site up: Mark Overholser is the driving force for it, and can give updates<br /> on speakers, etc.<br /> https://tandyretroshow.com/<br /> <br /> VCF-SoCal - Feb 15-16 (Hotel Fera in Orange, California.<br /> https://www.vcfsocal.com/<br /> <br /> VCF East is April 4-6, 2025 - same facility as this year.

It's a subtraction<br /> game for kids:<br /> https://youtu.be/FdKSPLo5AaY?si=IqZc61GJFWK8NwKn<br /> <br /> 2) Grant Leighty passed on to me that CocoFest table registration won't be<br /> until February 1st (rather than January). &quot;Randy is doing a major update on<br /> the registration system and needed more time to complete it.&quot; (Please note<br /> that the Glenside CocoFest webpage has not been changed yet to reflect this):<br /> https://www.glensideccc.com/cocofest/<br /> <br /> 3) 8 Bit Doodads on YouTube are doing a Retro Computer Adventu<br /> Calender... and an episode is about the Coco (it has some mistakes, but<br /> the hosts admit that neither has owned one):<br /> https://youtu.be/HGZ1m7HGVq4?si=qJtB6FcnYF1axNfv<br /> <br /> 4) Christmas themed posts on both Facebook and YouTube using Coco's have<br /> started appearing. Some of these we have covered in previous years, but<br /> since more and more people are joining (or re-joining) the Coco community,<br /> I think it is worth covering:<br /> - Michael Pittsley posted some screenshots from the Sierra Christmas<br /> demo. I will mention that it is included with NitrOS-9/EOU, and can be<br /> found in the DEMOS -&gt; SIERRA_XMAS (and launched from MultiVue):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162153232332641/<br /> Michael Eric Sezter pointed out the Tandy in store Coco 3 graphics demo<br /> from Christmas 1986 that Spectral Associates wrote:<br /> https://youtu.be/PaoqNDcYmOI?si=0SqblGL-4Pf8-EJ-<br /> bng0072 on YouTube released graphic/song videos of two Coco 1/2 Christmas<br /> themes, which are called XMAS Fantasia &amp; XMAS Fantasia II, and are about<br /> 17 minutes and 27 minutes long respectively. Maybe have them playing on a<br /> TV in the background during the Christmas season (I think David Ladd has<br /> presented these before in previous years):<br /> XMAS Fantasia:<br /> https://youtu.be/5cHbHGaNBGk?si=x9aEcaxg5e7r6UdR<br /> XMAS Fantasia II:<br /> https://youtu.be/Cbo5EoNzcR8?si=3lHCxxvfziaBr7XK<br /> <br /> 5) Another theme is people sharing photos of their Coco systems (back in<br /> day, sometimes after receiving them at Christmas). These include:<br /> - Rodger Williamson shows his setup from the mid-80's, and mentions using<br /> it while he attended Clemson University):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162152639702641/<br /> - Rob Cookenour posted a 5 second video(!) of him and his brand new Coco<br /> on Christmas morning, 1983 (just a few months after the Coco 2 was released)<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162145479247641/<br /> <br /> 6) Jack Chadwick posted a link on the Coco Facebook group to Coco 2 11<br /> ounce coffee mugs that are for sale on etsy:<br /> https://www.etsy.com/listing/1429675299/tandy-64k-color-computer-2-computer<br /> <br /> 7) Anthonu Kulla pointed out that the pilot episode of Moonlighting<br /> (starring Bruce Willis) has a Coco 1 in it:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162142202352641/<br /> <br /> 8) Italian Youtube channel does a pretty thorough review of the 6809 (there<br /> are a few mistakes) but mentions how it wasn't often used. They mention<br /> the Fujistu FM-7, the Thomson machines - but don't mention the Dragons,<br /> Coco's, Vectrex, etc.:<br /> https://youtu.be/Do8lWLDRczc?si=-Wiex-nVXka5hE7J<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie converted a program called Sphere which first appeared in<br /> Colorcue magazine's Dec/Jan 1982 issue (originally for the Compucolor<br /> II computer):<br /> https://youtu.be/szxcO8hIcck?si=CuQVm6zs6fyGlRk3<br /> <br /> 2) Jim also pointed out an article about Chess AI from the University of<br /> Waterloo Computer Museum, written by Amy VanderLaan. They pitted a MASTER<br /> 2200X Chess Computer (which was sold by Radio Shack in 1996) vs. an MC-10<br /> at the easiest level on each. Suprisingly, even with the computer &amp; program<br /> being 12-13 years older than the dedicated Chess machine... the MC-10 won:<br /> https://uwaterloo.ca/computer-museum/chess-ai<br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Dave's 8-bit Basement put up a half hour video on the Dragon 32 - part<br /> 3 of a series he is working on. He shows some hardware replacement boards<br /> that he is making (and uploading the files for):<br /> https://youtu.be/grrBP0ieFRY?si=zUqsmc874HA3qlA4<br /> <br /> 2) German YouTube channel &quot;Jungsis Corner&quot; does a quick review about using<br /> the CocoSDC on a Dragon 32:<br /> https://youtu.be/sWfY9XhIkCk?si=EUitk5YZ0c9o-xs8<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie ported the TRS-80 Model 1/3 game &quot;All Together&quot; to the MC-10,<br /> originally by David Chance from his 1981 book &quot;Computer Graphics With 29<br /> ready-to-run Programs&quot;:<br /> https://youtu.be/IsMlNjh9X_8?si=fosKuLEjFxWLQNfP<br /> He also ported Flying Witches, originally written by Jenny Tyler and Chris<br /> Oxlade in the 1984 book<br /> &quot;Weird Computer Games&quot; by Usborne books. Done completely with text<br /> characters, it is actually a side scroller where one has to fly their<br /> witch to pick up objects as they scroll by:<br /> https://youtu.be/bHQgaJdnyuo?si=_cap97r_7ruX1Mm2<br /> <br /> 2) Paul Shoemaker has made a Coco 1/2 version of his Christmas Match game:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162143852062641/<br /> It is on the same disk image as the Coco 3 version, which you can get from<br /> his itch.io:<br /> https://pshoemaker70.itch.io/christmas-match<br /> And Ciaran Anscomb has made a hybrid disk that allows it to run on the<br /> Dragon as well, and has made this available in the World of Dragon forums:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11216<br /> <br /> 3) Pere Serrat has now uploaded the &quot;Big Pack&quot; version of his SuperSprite<br /> FM+ updated AGD games, putting all 55 games into one zip for the Dragon<br /> or Coco (as well as separate ZIP's with instructions, screen shots, etc.):<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11217<br /> <br /> 4) Non Maskable Interrupt on YouTube did some more gameplay videos on his<br /> CM-8 equipped Coco 3 (so no artifact colors).<br /> Bagitman:<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/jiX31s4-Apo?si=PVxLY0eqseDFXM6i<br /> <br /> 5) Jostive Fivezer did some gameplay videos as well:<br /> Squeeze:<br /> https://youtu.be/OcgqoNmYB1g?si=jWBK5uiu-3hckwvh<br /> Android Attack (longplay):<br /> https://youtu.be/70v3815nnMw?si=fp_2P0S7GO39I1u6<br /> <br /> 6) simonwgb played almost 3 hours of some of his favorite Dragon 32/64<br /> games, including 45 minutes with Wizard's Quest:<br /> https://youtu.be/wdVaBXZSR2U?si=6cKUQ69I9JUL8vzW<br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

Bruce Moore &amp; David Kroeker put up another video of them working on<br /> the CocoMP3 hardware card, this time on trying to get audio levels correct<br /> from the Coco cassette port into a TV:<br /> Quick blog post:<br /> https://coco.gracenote.ca/trying-to-get-proper-audio-levels-through-the-coco-cassette-port-and-into-a-tv/<br /> YouTube Video:<br /> https://youtu.be/oq1LsY6gTPI?si=KPuli_rkP5G6dfHf<br /> <br /> 2) ugBASIC 1.16.5 RELEASED. Release notes:<br /> &quot;In addition to containing strong optimizations on the generated code,<br /> and numerous fixes and corrections for all targets (especially for the<br /> TRS-80 Color Computer 1/2/3), 32-bit division has finally been implemented<br /> for the 6809 processor and the code generation has been improved. The MIDI<br /> to IMF converter has been improved, with support for volume changing and<br /> specific percussion handling and automatic instrument calculation that<br /> composition software takes for granted, and improvements have also been<br /> made to multitasking interleaving capabilities.<br /> From this release the additional data type IMAGEREF is now available, which<br /> allows you to modify the graphic resources at run time, thus allowing you to<br /> create games with great aesthetic variability. A whole set of instructions<br /> has been added, to manage (automatically) the animations and movements<br /> of graphic elements, taking advantage of the improved multitasking. In<br /> particular, the ANIMATE command allows you to activate and drive animations<br /> while the program is running, and so does the MOVE command, which allows<br /> you to move objects in parallel, even synchronized with the animation.<br /> The new PATH data type, together with the TRAVEL instruction, allows you<br /> to calculate all the intermediate points of a path between two points, thus<br /> allowing you to easily create &quot;programmed paths&quot;, such as those associated<br /> with graphic adventure animations. The PRINT RAW is now available, to print<br /> characters without escape sequence parsing. The &quot;retro compatible hacks&quot; have<br /> been updated which ensure that previously written games can run without any<br /> issues, although there have been some small changes in the specifications.&quot;<br /> There have been multiple hot and cold fixes to the main branch since the<br /> 1.16.5 version release this past week as well&quot;<br /> Main website:<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/<br /> Fixes since the main version release:<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/main<br /> <br /> 3) Fedor Steedman posted a link to a hackaday article titled &quot;The 6809<br /> 8-bit Microcomputer: A father-son odyssey&quot; on the Coco Facebook group. The<br /> article is written by Heidi Ulrich.<br /> https://hackaday.com/2024/12/06/the-6809-8-bit-microcomputer-a-father-son-odyssey/<br /> The project page by Eric Lind and his son (they posted about the upcoming<br /> &quot;Stage 3&quot; on December 2):<br /> https://hackaday.io/project/199060-lind-micro-lind<br /> <br /> 4) Logiker's Vintage Computing Christmas Challenge has been announced<br /> (for all retro computers). This is their contest (running from Dec. 12<br /> until Dec. 25) where you try and re-create their Christmas related shape<br /> in as small of code as possible, in any language. They released a video<br /> showing the shapes from previous Christmas challenges, and explains the<br /> rules. There are prizes:<br /> https://youtu.be/3q5ZWJmMhgQ?si=aR6tFMNDQAKlWEKq<br /> <br /> 5) Spanish YouTube channel RetroComputo did a video about how to create<br /> real disks from DSK files using a Multipack and the CocoSDC:<br /> https://youtu.be/hKrcteMcs6w?si=N92ICL5cc7uZ-Hfl<br /> <br /> 6) The Boston Diaries (Sean) did a 3 part blog post about how to call<br /> assembly routines from BASIC.<br /> Part 1 is about how his own 6809 assembler makes BASIC code (data statements,<br /> POKE loop, etc. to make it easier to write the code in assembly and then<br /> not have to manually translate it to BASIC yourself:<br /> https://boston.conman.org/2024/11/26.1<br /> Part 2 covers how to call these routines from regular Color BASIC using<br /> the single USR command, and some steps needed to pass strings using it:<br /> https://boston.conman.org/2024/11/26.2<br /> Part 3 covers how to do it from Extended BASIC, which adds up to 10<br /> USR's and the DEFUSER command used to set them up, which makes sending<br /> and retrieving values &amp; strings easier and takes less steps than regular<br /> Color BASIC required.<br /> https://boston.conman.org/2024/11/26.3<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie ported (and translated) and educational program for the<br /> Metra Alice called The Combustion Engine, originally by Infogrames in 1984:<br /> https://youtu.be/oKxwjlFrDQs?si=AzYXFXxXJvZ_yGUP<br /> He also posted a link to a french site with screenshots and photos of the<br /> original packaging:<br /> http://alice32.free.fr/programmes/le-moteur-a-explosion/index.html<br /> <br /> 2) Simon Jonassen is working on a Christmas demo for the MC-10, and put up<br /> a video in the MC-10 Facebook group showing the 2 voice/square wave music,<br /> and will be adding graphics shortly:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/8652829471510465/<br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1)<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Pere Serrat has released 2 more game packs with the updated palettes<br /> for the Supersprite FM+ board (for the Dragon 32/64 and Coco 1/2):<br /> Game pack #8 has 6 games:<br /> Diamond Geezer<br /> Magic Able<br /> Meteormania<br /> The Hair-raising adventures of Mr. Hair<br /> Nixy the Glad Sprite<br /> Papyrus<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11214<br /> Game pack #9 has 6 games:<br /> Page's Castle Quest<br /> Robot, the Impossible Mission<br /> Springbot - Mars Attack<br /> Sprouty<br /> Stars 2<br /> UFO<br /> Yokai Monk<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11215<br /> This puts the number of games that support the Supersprite FM+ board to<br /> over 50 games now.<br /> <br /> 2) The Wargaming Scribe has released his review of Battle for Tunis for<br /> the Coco in 1984 from Ark Royal games. As usual, he does his very detailed,<br /> full review of the game:<br /> https://zeitgame.net/archives/16184<br /> <br /> 3) Gregg Steffensen has officially released &quot;The Caverns of Narzod&quot; on the<br /> Color Computer Archive, a game that is now fully working and patched for<br /> disk. This was originally published in Australian Coco magazine, October<br /> 1985, and is a BASIC/ML hybrid (the original listing needed some patching<br /> for disk). He also posted a link to Jim Gerrie's original video we showed<br /> a few weeks ago of the cassette version, although I think that still had<br /> a few bugs from typing it in that are now fixed:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162139419842641/<br /> <br /> 4) Paul Shoemaker released a new Coco 3 Christmas themed game called<br /> Christmas Match. It was a memory match game where one flips over two tiles<br /> at a time, and tries to find the matching tiles (which removes them from<br /> the playfield) in as few moves as possible. It can is a free download from<br /> his itch.io page, and requires a Coco 3 with 128K and a disk drive:<br /> https://pshoemaker70.itch.io/christmas-match<br /> Some gameplay footage<br /> https://youtu.be/-MOODqqRaWM?si=9VpFJ2uc0mV_9BCB<br /> <br /> 5) Richard Kelly uploaded a DSK image to the Coco Facebook group that has<br /> the Kenneth Del Signore collection, including DataFall (ironically the only<br /> game that does not run if you use the DOS command based menu system that<br /> Richard included). These are games that were published by T&amp;D magnazine,<br /> written by Ken.<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162137350892641/<br /> <br /> 6) Chronologically Gaming covered another Coco game release from November<br /> of 1982 - a movie adaptation that was unique to the Coco - Poltergeist:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P609_OETpH8&amp;t=1438s<br /> <br /> 7) YouTube channel WhiteHat94 did a 20 minute play video of Super Pitfall<br /> on the Coco 3, using a MiSTer FPGA. This is a actually a speed run, and<br /> he is very familiar with the Nintendo original one (see around 17:40 for<br /> a sub-level most people have not seen). He wins the game in 19 minutes,<br /> 47 seconds:<br /> https://youtu.be/x8MwTjjPa6c?si=RxNbInp_4PGEbYhb.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

Like the older Compuserve, Delphi<br /> was filled with forums, downloads, etc. and they had an agreement with<br /> Rainbow magazine to run Coco forums, which Rainbow had a monthly column<br /> mentioning which new downloads, etc. were newly added. It goes through how<br /> Delphi started as an online encyclopedia to what he is doing now. It also<br /> covers Daniel's history with the Coco 2:<br /> https://aithinktankpodcast.com/articles/f/the-early-days-of-the-internet---show-9<br /> YouTube video version of the interview:<br /> https://youtu.be/J5EREYob3N4?si=fb40RTann_RZZBmC<br /> <br /> 5) David Collins posted a video on Facebook in the Motorola 6809/6309/6800<br /> Assembly Language programming group showing his HB63C089M single board 6309<br /> based computer, and showing a text based Mandelbrot set being generated<br /> using a 6309 assembly program.

This is a simpler design that he hopes fixes a<br /> bug. From some testing yesterday, it is working better than his earlier<br /> version, but still isn't fully working... yet:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3878989832360657/<br /> <br /> 3) Richard Harding has posted some high resolution original artwork for<br /> Dragon software titles, this time in poster format (23&quot; x 15.5&quot;) at 300 DPI:<br /> http://dragondata.co.uk/Publications/posters-8/POSTERS-8.html<br /> <br /> 4) YouTube channel Retro4u received a fair number of UK computers that he<br /> goes through, including a Dragon 32:<br /> https://youtu.be/nw_U6KVrcUQ?si=B-OWOL4ZQXdqj8PZ&amp;t=279<br /> <br /> 5) German YouTube channel MIGs Yesterchips (ran by the Yesterchips Museum)<br /> received a Dragon 32 as a hardware donation, and need a little repair<br /> to get the color working. Rather than doing a video showing he complete<br /> testing, etc. he goes into figuring out was wrong with some photos, making<br /> a shorter video:<br /> https://youtu.be/O46BTTJSN_I?si=GxhPeVTia1uuGeif<br /> <br /> 6) Henry Gernhardt III put up part 2 of his video series on creating both the<br /> hardware and software for a USB keyboard interface for the Coco (and Dragon):<br /> https://youtu.be/MjQjr-vsv1U?si=x_uDEwFEVlWPaIB3<br /> <br /> 7) A follow up to last week's episode where a person in the live chat<br /> revealed that he was the author of Hidden BASIC that was sold by Spectrum<br /> Projects in 1983, and he was trying to find a copy. Well, Paul Fiscarelli<br /> found a copy, and it is now on the archive!<br /> https://colorcomputerarchive.com/<br /> <br /> 8) RetroTechTime put up a YouTube short with some photos of an &quot;extensive<br /> Coco collection&quot; that he saved from getting thrown out (I think there are<br /> other Tandy, non-Coco items included as well):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6bVAYD8Xtjo<br /> He did a same style video showing a few photos of Tandy/TRS80 collection:<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/nxxXPBciDQ8?si=b5ttuG6UtfWjGhgs<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Lee Perkins put up a video update for his port of the Cloud Kingdoms game<br /> to the Coco 3 - showing level selection and game play of a few different<br /> levels, completing them. Note: At this stage, you can't get damaged,<br /> so it's a bit easier to play than the final version will be (it's also<br /> better for testing):<br /> https://youtu.be/WxmSOFYJwSA?si=Vin-AHgGGQ2UgyTu<br /> <br /> 2) Pere Serrat has released the 6th &amp; 7th Supersprite FM+ upgraded games<br /> packs, with the new colour palette.

It is done in 256x192x2 PMODE 4:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/173737063356725/posts/1659108941486189/<br /> Github link (note that the info.txt is in Portuguese, since this was<br /> written by Emerson in Brazil):<br /> https://github.com/ensjo/mc1000-software/blob/master/emerson/Campo%20minado/info.txt<br /> <br /> 4) The NMI channel on YouTube release a YouTube short showing Clowns and<br /> Balloons running on his Coco 3 with a CM-8 (Which unfortunately just shows<br /> black and white graphics with no artifacting<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/Rm3Q7MIlKc8?si=3yUJJxA1jZq5vgLT<br /> <br /> 5) Jostive Fiverzer did a longplay game video of Dave Edson's Catch 'Em<br /> from Aardvark Software:<br /> https://youtu.be/WsE5m5o3UYA?si=R_lgkQhcWlYybJiC<br /> He also did one of Computerware's Shark Treasure by Greg Anderson:<br /> https://youtu.be/38CUyQu6el4?si=W6oOPTYTpqo2QHbR<br /> <br /> 6) Tim and AJ do their first Coco game in awhile that *isn't* Dungeons of<br /> Daggorath - Paul Shoemaker's new release, Lava Hero. AJ loves the game:<br /> https://youtu.be/62kx9ZsdyBo?si=bWcj4xHktY1tWEbA<br /> <br /> 7) Guillaume Major announced that he has made a Coco port of Kings Quest VI:<br /> Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow (which was backported to the AGI engine to run on<br /> older PC's by Brandon Kouri... and that's the same engine that the Coco 3<br /> versions of Sierra games use) available on the Color Computer Archive. He<br /> posted some screenshots on the Coco Facebook group:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10162095029932641/<br /> The webpage for the original PC backport:<br /> https://kq6agi.com/<br /> <br /> 8) The Amigos did their annual Thanks-For-Giving Marathon (8 hours of<br /> game playing on a variety of platforms), and a &quot;Super Cut&quot; version (thanks<br /> Aaron!) sans game loading times and general banter (although the latter *is*<br /> one of the reasons to watch and listen to the Amigos!) cut down to just over<br /> 5 hours is now up on their YouTube channel. The Coco is represented early on<br /> with One on One, Dino Wars and Demon Attack (although their Dino Wars seems<br /> corrupt - there is no way normally to kill your opponent with just one bite):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoY7cU3LCCE&amp;t=2320s<br /> (If you want to see the full 8 hour version with banter and loading/switching<br /> systems - check out their Twitch page)<br /> <br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

Bruce Moore has done a blog update on his coco.gracenote.ca site,<br /> showing his electronic book (available from several places) System Hacked.

These will just be entering the Beta branch:<br /> (See #ugbasic channel on Discord (in Programming And Development group)<br /> <br /> 10) Ciaran Anscomb (sixxie in the chat) has released XRoar 1.7.1. Most<br /> of the changes came out in 1.7 earlier this past week, with 1.7.1 merely<br /> reducing memory use when reading gamepad mappings files, and including<br /> some files that were missing from the source code tarball. 1.7 added:<br /> - New -joy-db-file option specifies SDL-compatible gamepad DB file<br /> - New Linux evdev joystick module<br /> - &quot;Large changes&quot; to underlying UI mechanisms<br /> - New features backported to GTK+2 UI.<br /> - Fixed one cause of crashes running Xroar under Windows 11<br /> It should also be mentioned that XRoar online (including it's implementation<br /> on the Color Computer Archive has been updated to the latest versions<br /> as well.<br /> http://www.6809.org.uk/xroar/<br /> <br /> 11) For those who missed last week's Trash Talk Live #41 show, it's available<br /> on YouTube. The Coco was discussed by multiple people, including Jim Brain,<br /> Henry Gernhardt and myself:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/fzr5FV3hRTk?si=DpKSBJ0IYfNQTwMH<br /> <br /> 12) Pere Serrat put up a file in the Coco Facebook group for getting the<br /> MAME emulator running with a SuperSprite FM+ board, for those without the<br /> physical hardware:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161854350592641/<br /> <br /> 13) For those who want to try out Steve Bjork's assembly language tutorial<br /> series (on YouTube), Steve Strowbridge has also uploaded the original<br /> slides and files to the Coco Facebook group:<br /> Original YouTube series:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDfh7JjQaSYAs92js43dJ05ytKqswUV4r<br /> ZIP of slides and files:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161834702762641/<br /> <br /> 14) Sheldon MacDonald is working on a Coco 1/2 raycaster in SG4, written<br /> in assembly language:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161830964107641/<br /> He also released version 0.65 of his Dual IDE (Coco and Sega Genesis)<br /> which includes his current source for the raycaster:<br /> https://www.smdreloaded.com/index.php?topic=9.0<br /> <br /> 15) Steve Norton has updated documentation for TextMaster, a Coco 1/2/3<br /> program for using the PMODE 4 screen with high res fonts in machine<br /> language. It has 32,36,42,51,64 and 85 columns (24 lines), and features<br /> different sized fonts for the same &quot;text&quot; resolutions, proportional spacing<br /> support, super/subscripts, underline, inverse, upside down, key click,<br /> CTRL-G bell and more. It also links itself into BASIC, allowing PRINT @<br /> to work, key repeat, screen scroll protection, full length error messages,<br /> and more. Control and Escape codes allow one to use all of these features<br /> in their own programs:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161828648322641/<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Dublevay on the World of Dragon forums mentioned a slight correction<br /> is needed to the Dragon Beta motherboards' parts list in order for the<br /> mouse add-on to work (scroll down to message dated November 19):<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&amp;t=11044&amp;start=30<br /> <br /> 2) Polish YouTube channel &quot;Retro Borsuk i Montek!&quot; - a Polish gaming show,<br /> as part of the episode &quot;Komputeriada #4&quot;, showed some new computers that<br /> they acquired - which includes a Dragon 32 (which or some reason came with<br /> Coco joysticks rather than Dragon ones), but it isn't working properly<br /> (note: for some reason, YouTube's auto translate quit working before this<br /> part of the video). Also of note: Their show is even longer than ours -<br /> this one ran for almost 9.5 hours!):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/3l3wVHEt4DM?si=tnR6b433W_9OxE3M&amp;t=25184<br /> <br /> 3) Piotr Bugaj (from Poland) let the Dragon Facebook group know that he will<br /> have another small batch of his Dragon disk drive controllers available<br /> soon.

<p>ExileInParadise: The Coco Nation News stories for Episode 388, November 16, 2024</p> <hr /> <div>The Coco Nation News stories for Episode 388, November 16, 2024<br /> ===================================================================<br /> Collected by L. Curtis Boyle<br /> <br /> Upcoming conventions/trade shows of interest to Coco people:<br /> ------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Today is episode #41 of TRS-80 Trash Talk is being recorded live later today<br /> (8 pm) on YouTube:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/@TRS80TrashTalk<br /> <br /> The World of Commodore 2024 is November 30-Dec 1 at the Admiral Inn in<br /> Mississauga, Ontario. Why am I mentioning this? Well, it's sponsored by TPUG,<br /> and they created the SuperPET (a special PET with a 6809 CPU added...) and<br /> they helped port OS-9 Level 1 to it. So it's a sister computer to the Coco<br /> after those improvements.<br /> https://www.tpug.ca/world-of-commodore/world-of-commodore-2024/<br /> <br /> Virtual Coco/Tandy Fest is January 25, 2025, and now has it's own website<br /> site up: Mark Overholser is the driving force for it, and can give updates<br /> on speakers, etc.<br /> https://tandyretroshow.com/<br /> <br /> VCF-SoCal - Feb 15-16 (Hotel Fera in Orange, California.<br /> https://www.vcfsocal.com/<br /> <br /> VCF East has had a date change for next years show due to a scheduling<br /> conflict. It is now April 4-6, 2025 - same facility as this year. Info<br /> Age Science Museum, Wall, NJ.<br /> https://vcfed.org/events/vintage-computer-festival-east/<br /> <br /> CocoFest is May 2-3, 2025 (with takedown on the morning of May 4/Sunday) at<br /> the Holiday Inn &amp; Suites in Carol Stream (Wheaton), Illinois. Hotel rooms<br /> at the special Fest rate are available now ($122/night for two queens or<br /> 1 king bed), and apply for May 2-5. You will need to use the Group Rate<br /> code of G30 to get this rate, and getting the special rate ends April<br /> 7. Bookings for tables will be going up in January.<br /> https://www.glensideccc.com/cocofest/<br /> Tables go on sale January 1 at noon, Central standard time.<br /> <br /> VCF-SW in Texas has been booked with dates: June 20-22, 2025 at the Davidson<br /> Gundy Alumni Center, University of Texas, Dallas, Texas.<br /> Tables &amp; Tickets will go on sale January 2025. $20/adult ($25 if bought<br /> at the door), $10/student ($15 at the door). 17 and under are free (with<br /> accompanying adult). Tables are $50.<br /> https://www.vcfsw.org/<br /> <br /> Tim Lindner let me know that next year's Portland Retro Gaming Expo runs<br /> from October 17-19 in 2025 (they just had this years Sept 27-29).<br /> https://www.retrogamingexpo.com/<br /> <br /> <br /> Coco 1/2/3 (and multi-platform)<br /> -------------------------------<br /> First, I want to clarify a few things from last weeks news:<br /> A) The Randy Kindig interview with Steve Leninger and Don French isn't<br /> just about the TRS-80 Model 1 creation, it does go into a little early<br /> Coco history as well.<br /> https://floppydays.libsyn.com/floppy-days-144-interview-with-don-french-and-steve-leininger<br /> <br /> B) The &quot;House of Future&quot; article with pictures of the VDG screens, as some<br /> noted, is not a Coco but a custom set of computers created by Motorola that<br /> used their VDG chip. This house was built in 1979 with those computers<br /> integrated, a year before the Coco 1 came out. MarcO missed the last of<br /> my notes on this story, so I will go through them briefly here:<br /> Information on the &quot;House of the Future&quot; itself (scroll down for additional<br /> photos), including details on the Motorola computer system it used called<br /> &quot;Tuke&quot; (pronounced 'tu-kee') which apparently cost $30,000 at the time<br /> and featured ten interconnected Motorola CPU's that &quot;monitor and control<br /> all aspects of the house&quot;, including monitoring windows &amp; doors, adjusting<br /> blinds, temperature controls &amp; logging energy use. It even featured speech<br /> synthesis:<br /> https://the-haunted-closet.blogspot.com/2020/01/awhatukee-house-of-future-1980-1984.html<br /> <br /> In the Dragon news section, Marc did show the text interview with Derek<br /> Williams (By Richard Harding) which has some real cool history about the<br /> Dragon, but he missed the second part where there is a brief video clip<br /> from the 1984 Personal Computer World show in Olympia, London, showing<br /> the Dragon with a Touchmaster graphics tablet:<br /> (SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE FOR THIS VIDEO):<br /> http://dragondata.co.uk/history/videos/index.html<br /> <br /> I was hoping Nick would have a chance to watch Steve Rasmussen's (alias<br /> Buck Owens) put up an hour long video on Twitch showing him creating new<br /> levels for Nick Marentes H.E.R.O. game, using a Visual BASIC program he<br /> hacked together (PLAY FROM 10:23, can fast forward a little from finishing<br /> the level design, exporting DATA statements, saving them to LEVELS.DAT on<br /> disk and the running VCC with the new level):<br /> https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2295654639<br /> <br /> 1) Jim Brain added a 3rd blog post the day before last weeks show concerning<br /> his exploration of alternate character sets.<br /> https://www.go4retro.com/2024/11/08/expanding-the-mc6847-deciphering-the-interface/<br /> As Jim mentioned on the show last week, Having a way to load character sets<br /> directly from the Coco while it's running would be the ideal goal, allowing<br /> some CocoVGA functionality on the Coco 1/2. I had seen some comments in<br /> the chat sidebar speculating that redefining the character sets to do<br /> 256x192-like graphics was basically a waste and that at that point one<br /> should just switch to the 256x192 true graphics mode, but I don't agree;<br /> One has to take into consideration that the text screen (even with the new<br /> font(s)) is still only 512 bytes of data to move around; the equivalent<br /> full graphics screen (PMODE 4) is 6K. So a program could be *much* faster<br /> (especially if you are writing in BASIC vs. Assembly), and with properly<br /> defined characters, one could even get smooth pixel by pixel (or 2 or 4<br /> pixels at a time) movement vs. the more blocky 8 pixel chunks that text<br /> characters currently use. Kicking in higher Semigraphics modes (like the<br /> 12 and 24 modes that we can now use from BASIC) would allow designing<br /> some such offset characters to give smoother scrolling both vertically<br /> and horizontally.<br /> And lastly, the ability to trigger and IRQ or FIRQ based on a count of<br /> scanlines (or multiple counts per screen frame) not only allows one to change<br /> the character set &amp; screen mode (and/or color set) for different parts of<br /> the screen, but it could serve double duty for doing sound effects in the<br /> background between the 60/50 times per second that we have with VSYNC and<br /> the 15,000+ times per second we get with HSYNC, allowing background sound<br /> (sampled or generated) to run on a Coco 1/2 without so much CPU overhead.<br /> <br /> 2) CocoTown on YouTube returns to his Moon Patrol style gaming with a<br /> video about adding scoring:<br /> https://youtu.be/kygaCZgpIUs?si=1rM_2eufMcolMnYT<br /> <br /> 3) RetroAndGaming on YouTube (who just got his Coco 1 working with S-Video<br /> recently) released a video showing how the speedup POKE's work on Coco's:<br /> https://youtu.be/138scXKZNIE?si=w4ld88xngoo9kchW<br /> <br /> 4) SjslTech on YouTube picked up a Computer Buyers Guide, which actually<br /> goes into surprising depth about how computers work before listing a bunch<br /> of machines and their specs, including a section on TRS-80's:<br /> https://youtu.be/3jW4VCgKniQ?si=6SiCvbfEaDxanecq&amp;t=480<br /> <br /> 5) Erico Monteiro has been experimenting with animated characters (Which<br /> he is showing at RetroSC this weekend!) in low res graphics with comic<br /> book style word balloons. He showed a preview on Facebook (the text is in<br /> Portuguese for the show this weekend)<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/big-trouble-in-retrosc-tomorrow/10161822164712641/<br /> A slightly earlier post showing some other characters (There are 10 in all)<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161810828697641/<br /> And what all 10 look like (not animated):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161799409247641/<br /> <br /> 6) Daniel Flakelar posted a photo of his PAL Coco 2 upgraded to composite -<br /> and how he used the case design to make it neat and tidy:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/just-did-the-composite-mod-to-the-pal-coco2-nice-convenient-spot-to-put-some-hid/10161796824137641/<br /> <br /> 7) David Collins announced that he has entered his 63C09 based single<br /> board computer into PCBWay's yearly design contest:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/6809assembly/posts/ive-entered-my-sbc-into-the-yearly-design-contest-at-pcbway-this-weekend-i-hope-/3520556828237674/<br /> PCBWay page entry:<br /> https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/The_HB63C09M_SBC_97a82b55.html<br /> <br /> 8) ugBASIC continues to get updates and bugfixes. The past two weeks has<br /> included fixes to DATA statements with empty strings, CLEAR now clearing<br /> variables correctly, and fixed blit register allocation &amp; dynamic strings<br /> for 3 CPU's (including 6809), as well as many updates for specific machines:<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/main<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie updated his Nova Scotia flag program on the MC-10 that we<br /> showed a couple of weeks ago to show 3 flags associated with the maritime<br /> province: Provincial Flag, Acadian Flag, and the Grand Council Flag of<br /> the Miqmaq/L'nu native peoples:<br /> https://youtu.be/et_TqnCkLS8?si=V2W-y_SCJFTtuYUD<br /> <br /> 2) Jim is also looking for assembly coder volunteers to convert the chess<br /> game Usurpator (originally written for the 6800) to the MC-10 and it's 6803:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/8538150252978388/<br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Richard Harding has uploaded high quality scans of original Dragon Data<br /> software artwork:<br /> http://dragondata.co.uk/Software/artwork/index.html<br /> <br /> 2) YouTube channel Fix or No Fix did a 3/4 hour followup video about<br /> restoring The Dragon 32 system he got. This round he works on the cassette<br /> deck and joystick adaptor:<br /> https://youtu.be/GqAXhu4FtmI?si=nFXan9MiknbPII66<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie has The Caves of Narzod (originally by Max Bettridge from the<br /> Australian Coco magazine, October 1985) running on a Coco , but only from<br /> tape. He is asking for some help to fix any ML routines for disk. Both Paul<br /> Fiscarelli sent him versions fixed for disk. It's a graphical adventure game:<br /> https://youtu.be/tjgiDv8tJ4E?si=TGOPnziRsl7Nj0D8<br /> <br /> 2) Stu, of the Tandy (TRS-80) Discord and Stu's Game Reviews) revisited the<br /> Coco this week, this time tackling Cyrus Chess (vs. the original Microchess<br /> he played earlier). This is a title written in the UK and appeared on the<br /> Dragon first, and then Tandy got rights to sell it here in North America<br /> about a year later:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/rg1QMxqiRdU?si=JxDBHiMsgiQn_QT4<br /> <br /> 3) non_maskable_interrupt on YouTube did another Coco 3 gameplay YouTube<br /> Short, this time covering Tandy/Greg Zumwalt's official Tetris:<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/0xPRun7LPqQ?si=nPbfOFPpZq0QWh9Q<br /> <br /> 4) As promised last week, Pere Serrat is keeping himself busy making<br /> updated versions of the AGD engine games for Coco's and Dragons with the<br /> SuperSprite FM+ upgrade board. These new versions feature changed colors<br /> sets to more closely match the ZX-Spectrum originals that the Coco/Dragon<br /> versions are ported from.<br /> Pack #2 features 6 more games:<br /> Antiquity Jones, Apulija-13, Baldy ZX, Baby Monkey, Bean Brothers and Bol<br /> Ke Ase:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11205<br /> Pack #3 features an additional 6 games:<br /> Bomb Bomb Buster, Boxes, B-Squared, Cap'n Rescue, Cap'n Rescue - Reprisal,<br /> and Cap'n Rescue - The Escape:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11206<br /> <br /> 5) Chronologically Gaming covered the Dragon 32 game &quot;Jerusalem Adventure 2&quot;<br /> from Microdeal this past week, which originally came out in November 1982<br /> (it was originally out on the Coco a year earlier):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS6C_D6_SPc&amp;t=28s<br /> <br /> 6) French YouTube channel &quot;GENERATION MICROS&quot; went through the<br /> November/December 1984 issue of TILT magazine, which covers video games<br /> for both Micros and game consoles. there is a general review of 500 games<br /> in alphabetical order (starts about 25 minutes in) including 6809 machines<br /> like the Thomson MO series, the Vectrex and the Dragon 32. Each of them has a<br /> photo as well, and some Coco / Dragon games are included, like Blochead (#27)<br /> (although the photo is upside down), Bridge Master (#35), Cyrus Chess (#60),<br /> Cosmic Cruiser (#79), Crash (#81), Cu*Bert (#90), Cuthbert Goes Digging<br /> (#92), Cuthbert In the Mines (#93), Dragon Chess (#115), El Bandito (#123),<br /> Fruity (#152), Glaxxons (#159), Junior's Revenge (#211), Kriegspiel (#221),<br /> Leggit (#243), Lunar Rover Patrol (#263), Nerble Force (#298) (they have<br /> Skramble pictured instead), Shenanigans (#387), Skramble (#390) (here is<br /> the swapped Nerble Force picture), Touchstone (#455), 3D Lunattack (#464),<br /> 3D Seiddab Attack (#466), 3D Space Wars (#467), Ugh! (#472), Whirlybird Run<br /> (#488). They also do brief specs/reviews of the Thomson series computers,<br /> The Alice and Alice 90 (44:07), and the Dragon 32 (54:43), MC-10 (1:08:21),<br /> TRS-80 Color 2 (although they bizarrely show a photo of a Coco 1 - and an<br /> older model at that!) (1:09:00)<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuSettBKiHE&amp;t=2649s&amp;ab_channel=GENERATIONMICROS<br /> <br /> 7) After the .... &quot;accident&quot; last episode, AJ finally calmed down enough<br /> to rejoin her sibling Tim Lindner for part 9 of Dungeons of Daggorath for<br /> their Sibling Rivalry show:<br /> https://youtu.be/4NaMxJEej4E?si=Uo7s4CA0glZb94Nl<br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

Photos:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/allthingsatari/posts/pfbid0XzHhoChraWf6c7TJjeRA8uyJEjhkxnLNYcmT99HBpF2E6AmaUs2aX3ZhTgs6f77Dl<br /> Information on the &quot;House of the Future&quot; itself (scroll down for additional<br /> photos), including details on the Motorola computer system it used called<br /> &quot;Tuke&quot; (pronounced 'tu-kee') which apparently cost $30,000 at the time<br /> and featured ten interconnected Motorola CPU's that &quot;monitor and control<br /> all aspects of the house&quot;, including monitoring windows &amp; doors, adjusting<br /> blinds, temperature controls &amp; logging energy use.

This goes over a lot of the<br /> history of Dragon/Dragon Beta, Dragon production, some on Tano, and why a lot<br /> of Dragon people ended up at Thorn EMI within weeks of Dragon shutting down:<br /> http://dragondata.co.uk/history/People/Derek-Wiliams/index.html<br /> He also put up a short video clip from the 1984 Personal Computer World<br /> show in Olympia, London, which was broadcast during the show Micro Live<br /> on BBC2 October 27, 1984.

This one required somebody he knows to fix<br /> the archive copy of the game (it would freeze in sports); the new version<br /> has been uploaded to the archive; it should be up soon if it isn't already:<br /> https://zeitgame.net/archives/15827<br /> <br /> 4) Steve Rasmussen alias Buck Owens put up an hour long video on Twitch<br /> showing him creating new levels for Nick Marentes H.E.R.O. game, using a<br /> Visual BASIC program he hacked together:<br /> https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2295654639<br /> <br /> 5) Pere Serrat is now planning on doing re-releases of his AGD game ports<br /> for the SuperSprite FM+ boards (graphics/sound upgrade board for the Dragons<br /> and Coco 1/2's), where he is updating the palettes to more closely match<br /> the original Spectrum versions of the games. He has released the first<br /> pack, which has 6 games. Details, games list, download and screenshots<br /> using the new palettes are available on the World of Dragon forum here:<br /> http://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11203&amp;<br /> Games are:<br /> Astronaut Labyrinth<br /> Astronaut Labyrinth (with music)<br /> Aeon Part 1<br /> Aeon Part 2<br /> Aeon Part 3<br /> Aeon Part 4<br /> <br /> 6) XperTek on YouTube did another gameplay video - this time featuring<br /> the Semigrapics-24 color extravaganza Protecters II (labelled Protectors<br /> on the screen, but Tom Mix Software already had a game called that on the<br /> Coco). Of course, he plays it on his real Coco 2 with an amber monitor,<br /> so he doesn't get to see the color (and he doesn't know the gameplay):<br /> https://youtu.be/KAUecTKLjBY?si=-rXxsB4p6IeKMAjr<br /> <br /> 7) Vitaskhr on YouTube did a YouTube short showing his Coco 2 with Zaxxon -<br /> including the &quot;fun&quot; of getting the volume right to load from tape:<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/HFK5R5sVtm8?si=VDsKWhUVziVd8NHa<br /> <br /> 8) Our guest from last week, Pedro Pana aka Rocky Hill on Youtube, did<br /> a followup video about his Coco ATX, playing some games on it show it's<br /> Coco 1/2 compatibility:<br /> https://youtu.be/0cTdysFJ4JA?si=-OTq8z5n7L6UWQuk<br /> <br /> 9) AJ returns to Dungeons of Daggorath for part 8, having cleared out part 7<br /> in the previous episode.

Why am I mentioning this? Well, it's sponsored by TPUG,<br /> and they created the SuperPET (a special PET with a 6809 CPU added...) and<br /> they helped port OS-9 Level 1 to it. So it's a sister computer to the Coco<br /> after those improvements.<br /> https://www.tpug.ca/world-of-commodore/world-of-commodore-2024/<br /> <br /> VCF-SoCal - Feb 15-16 (Hotel Fera in Orange, California.<br /> https://www.vcfsocal.com/<br /> <br /> VCF East has had a date change for next years show due to a scheduling<br /> conflict.

This is a convenient way to do digits that<br /> can fit two per byte and can do some simple math without much conversion<br /> needed to make into ASCII to put on a screen. He compares the speed of<br /> BCD vs. the more commonly used method::<br /> https://youtu.be/MspTilYfmX0?si=4b2PcR9EcdL7nJYo<br /> <br /> 2) Ken of Canadian Retro Things put up a video for getting a couple of<br /> tape recorders working with his Coco 3:<br /> https://youtu.be/NZ7qMBZXsB4?si=xoAJnDJmIsuDSlZ1<br /> <br /> 3) Eric Canales has released 6dev09 Build 19, and has also now made it<br /> free &amp; open source:<br /> https://www.playpi.net/6dev09-build-19-released-now-free-and-open-source/<br /> <br /> 4) Pedro Pena (Rocky Hill on YouTube) posted his SepTandy... errr,<br /> OcTandy video about a project that he has been working on for some time:<br /> An ATX style backplane Coco 2/3 that works with a standard ATX case/power<br /> supply. Coco 2 is working now, Coco 3 is a work in progress. Each slot<br /> has a card for a different function of the Coco, and it supports things<br /> like modern wireless keyboards, etc.:<br /> https://youtu.be/f3vT7OViMJw?si=luk4xhIDNoIH1S3t<br /> <br /> 5) Multiple people mentioned a Jason Scott podcast episode about the<br /> MC-10, where he talks about being pestered by James &quot;Jim&quot; Gerrie to<br /> add online emulation support for the MC-10 on the Internet Archive (via<br /> online MAME), and then goes into how much Jim has uploaded for the MC-10,<br /> and how impressed Jason is with the effort:<br /> https://youtu.be/1BW973pX6BE?si=-kCkCbVp4NYUXDNh<br /> <br /> 6) Retro Fox on YouTube attended the VCF East Swap Meet last weekend<br /> (like Henry did) and managed to get some Coco items:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/i5kKm1LtGKo?si=IIp1SxBfvx11emGP&amp;t=1133<br /> And one more:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/i5kKm1LtGKo?si=X2F5SC0NMdozQl3z&amp;t=1898<br /> <br /> 7) Tazman (Scott Cooper) has been learning a little ML, and has a low res<br /> maze solving program that has a cool animated background now:<br /> (show file &quot;scott cooper (tazmn) assembly maze version 2.MOV&quot; from<br /> my desktop<br /> <br /> 8) Glen Hewlett posted another update to his BASIC to 6809, to which<br /> has added the faster floating point library that we mentioned last week,<br /> written by Lennart Benschop.

Part of his research involves the original LowerKit done<br /> by Dennis Bathory Kitz back in the 1980's, and he shows some alternate<br /> character sets:<br /> Part 1: Understanding external character ROM functionality on the 6847:<br /> https://www.go4retro.com/2024/10/29/how-low-can-you-go-2/<br /> Part 2: Expanding the MC6847: Deciphering Fonts:<br /> https://www.go4retro.com/2024/10/31/expanding-the-mc6847-deciphering-fonts/<br /> <br /> 11) Carlos Camacho on the Coco Facebook group pointed to a cool auction<br /> that has the manual for a rare operating system for the Coco called SOS,<br /> and hoped that somebody in the community managed to get so it could be<br /> scanned and preserved. We got lucky this time - David Collins won the<br /> auction and will be receiving it soon. The community still need to find<br /> the software itself. From the Hot Coco ad (see comments on the post),<br /> it sounds like a real operating system with many calls, 35,40 or 80 track<br /> single or double side drive support, and included patches for running with<br /> Telewriter-64, Elite Word, and the Microworks Editor/assembler package:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161768509597641/<br /> <br /> 12) Martin Brossman posted a half hour interview with Steve Baker who is<br /> the manager of Expert PC &amp; Radio Shack in Elizabeth City, North Carolina,<br /> and talks a little about his history selling Coco's, and his guest talks<br /> about how the Radio Shack comeback is going, from his point of view:<br /> https://youtu.be/zEfA0_tt6j0?si=EeXQdI9ep0Gviy4W<br /> <br /> 13) ugBASIC continues to get multiple updates per week.

I don't normally list items for sale, but Richard<br /> uploaded multiple pictures of the original artwork so I think it is worth<br /> looking through:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3856198444639796/<br /> <br /> 2) Tony Jewell is doing a 6847 demo at an upcoming tradeshow, and he uploaded<br /> some sample pictures to the 6847 group on Facebook (these all will work<br /> without a SAM chip, so on things like the MC-19/Alice, VZ200, etc.):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/173737063356725/posts/1641155646614852/<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Nick Marentes and Jim Gerrie have been talking about some updates to<br /> Jim's MC-10 (soon Coco) port of Nick's original October 1982 TRS-80 Model<br /> 1/3 release &quot;Stellar Odyssey&quot;, including some screen layout changes that<br /> Nick suggested. Jim release an update video showing some of those changes:<br /> https://youtu.be/sxMyQe-vcMs?si=9F_YarpMCQ1YHnNd<br /> He also released a quick video of the first Alpha of the Coco version of<br /> Stellar Odyssey:<br /> https://youtu.be/xF2R8Jrcpv0?si=biqsYwDjJHn0gIl7<br /> And he just released a video this morning showing it running under VCC, and<br /> he mentions in the comments that he thinks he has loading/saving working,<br /> so now it is bug testing (something Nick never had to do on the original):<br /> https://youtu.be/1CDM2MWAm3I?si=oH82dtfoM5-r4a-g<br /> <br /> 2) Tim &amp; AJ return to Dungeons of Daggorath for part 7 (G) on their YouTube<br /> My Drunk Sibling channel. By the end of this episode, an ecstatic AJ manages<br /> to completely clean out level 4, and gets both the Mithril Shield and the<br /> Elven Sword:<br /> https://youtu.be/ebujIXBlARI?si=Sg34g3D6tAh3MnQo<br /> <br /> 3) The non_maskable_interrupt channel on Youtube release a YouTube short<br /> of playing Donkey King (on a CM-8 so it's in black and white):<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/4b5LkMbLBxE?si=xnp0-DlkVWNbHswo<br /> <br /> 4) Thomas Cherryhomes of Fujinet fame has announced (and with a screenshot)<br /> that a new cross-platform game for the Fujinet is getting a Coco version<br /> soon - Fujitzee (a Yahtzee style game). Currently in alpha testing:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161752761667641/<br /> <br /> 5) For those of you familiar with the programming robots game Color Robot<br /> Battle, John Metcalf is running a tournament at the Retro Computer Festival<br /> in Cambridge, UK November 9-10 (next weekend!) (the same convention/trade<br /> show that we have been plugging in our Convention/Trade show segment). Full<br /> details are available here:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161751404172641/<br /> Mini-Manual for this interested in entering:<br /> https://corewar.co.uk/colorrobotbattle.htm<br /> They are accepting entries as plain text or saved on a .CAS file from one<br /> of the emulators. The rules for the tournament are:<br /> 1) no pacifist robots, it must fire the laser and/or missiles<br /> 2) robots must contain at least one random condition =? or #?<br /> 3) please give your robot a name 🤖<br /> 4) each robot will battle every other robot over multiple rounds in<br /> a round-robin<br /> 5) robots will be published at the end of the tournament<br /> 6) entries can be sent by Facebook Messenger, there's no need to attend<br /> the event, deadline 8th Nov (I will acknowledge all entries)<br /> <br /> 6) Jim Gerrie pointed out on that a YouTube channel called &quot;HiGuyInTheDark&quot;<br /> on YouTube did a video gameplay video of his port of the ZX-81/Spectrum game<br /> &quot;Alien&quot;:<br /> https://youtu.be/k_TPfaZuoxw?si=QnoAFwmj3NEZQ2Rq<br /> <br /> 7) The Wargaming Scribe has put out another Dragon war game full review and<br /> write up, for Kriegspiel. Originally written by Ron Potkin for the TRS-80<br /> Model 1/3 in late 1979, he ported it to the Dragon in 1983. As usual, he<br /> does a very thorough review, including screen shots and even animations<br /> showing game play:<br /> https://zeitgame.net/archives/15767<br /> <br /> 8) Retrogames-co-uk did another updated of stuff he has gotten 0 and this<br /> week he got a Cuthbert Club badge:<br /> https://youtu.be/kxPaO5Ti2zw?si=jRSmhd_XsOMyMCtk&amp;t=567<br /> <br /> 9) Steve Rasmussen (alias Buck Owens) put up a an hour long play video of<br /> Nick's H.E.R.O. game run in VCC at 2.68 MHz (so close the speed a GIME-X<br /> and GIME-Z will do). If you don't like spoilers, don't watch it all the<br /> way through - Steve goes on to beat the game:<br /> https://youtu.be/anb5Q_1PWLY?si=lLAE9eXBlSRn32zq<br /> <br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

Why am I mentioning this? Well, it's sponsored by TPUG,<br /> and they created the SuperPET (a special PET with a 6809 CPU added...) and<br /> they helped port OS-9 Level 1 to it. So it's a sister computer to the Coco<br /> after those improvements.<br /> https://www.tpug.ca/world-of-commodore/world-of-commodore-2024/<br /> <br /> VCF-SoCal - Feb 15-16 (Hotel Fera in Orange, California.<br /> https://www.vcfsocal.com/<br /> <br /> VCF East has had a date change for next years show due to a scheduling<br /> conflict. It is now April 4-6, 2025 - same facility as this year. Info<br /> Age Science Museum, Wall, NJ.<br /> https://vcfed.org/events/vintage-computer-festival-east/<br /> <br /> VCF-SW in Texas has been booked with dates: June 20-22, 2025 at the Davidson<br /> Gundy Alumni Center, University of Texas, Dallas, Texas.<br /> Tables &amp; Tickets will go on sale January 2025. $20/adult ($25 if bought<br /> at the door), $10/student ($15 at the door). 17 and under are free (with<br /> accompanying adult). Tables are $50.<br /> https://www.vcfsw.org/<br /> <br /> Tim Lindner let me know that next year's Portland Retro Gaming Expo runs<br /> from October 17-19 in 2025 (they just had this years Sept 27-29).<br /> https://www.retrogamingexpo.com/<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Coco 1/2/3 (and multi-platform)<br /> -------------------------------<br /> 1) CocoTown goes off on another sidebar this week - using Visual Studio<br /> to browse the source for MAME itself... and using the gdb debugger with<br /> it debug MAME itself:<br /> https://youtu.be/sNYUXBpazDg?si=k6Z_4Pa7cn4YXyal<br /> <br /> 2) The America Before YouTube channel did a 23 minute video on the history<br /> of Radio Shack, which even includes a snippet from a Coco 3 commercial:<br /> https://youtu.be/bidLW5x_yyk?si=gYsxpGlIAyFmDvsa<br /> <br /> 3) YouTube channel Hey Birt! released a video walkthrough of Tandy<br /> Assembly. He was also one of the vendors and presenters.<br /> https://youtu.be/gucakvZ8Ewo?si=Eei4-h4k9-yPNcS9<br /> <br /> 4) Userlandia did a 1 hour video recap of VCF-MW, including showing some<br /> Coco's (Phoenix NitrOS9 later at 16:29):<br /> https://youtu.be/X0boCaSemlM?si=n1L0SI5BS4oShynQ&amp;t=776<br /> <br /> 5) I think I missed this last week - but CMOC version 0.1.89 was released<br /> on October 16. Updates include:<br /> - Function pmode() does change the screen mode anymore; that is done with<br /> screen() (same as Extended BASIC) which allows double buffering to work<br /> properly amongst other things. screen() also works properly remembering<br /> if the Coco supports true lowercase (like the Coco 2B &amp; Coco 3)<br /> - bug fix to the OS9 version of putchar() now uses carriage return instead<br /> of line feed as the line ending sequence<br /> - switch() statement now supports 32 bit values<br /> Full notes, downloads, etc. can be found here:<br /> http://perso.b2b2c.ca/~sarrazip/dev/cmoc.html<br /> <br /> 6) I now have full access to my websites again (finally!) As a quick test,<br /> I uploaded the Preview version of the new BASIC09 manual - with the bonus<br /> that the the small chapter 10 has been added to the original preview:<br /> http://www.lcurtisboyle.com/nitros9/nitros9_docs.html<br /> <br /> 7) Henry of The Break Key fame (and regular panelist on the show) released<br /> a video on his YouTube channel called &quot;USB to Coco Keyboard Adapter Part 1:<br /> The Breadboarding&quot; It's an hour plus video of scary hardware stuff:<br /> https://youtu.be/NGNwJkPQRqU?si=7KQ3YRZE2ZsrMcYO<br /> <br /> 8) Emerson Costa posted in the Motorla 6847 Facebook group some screenshots<br /> of an optical illusion done on a VDG screen, and included the source from<br /> an MC1000 computer. Since this computer has to POKE into VRAM to draw the<br /> shapes and connectors, this would make a good candidate to port to Level<br /> 1 OS9/BASIC09. It POKE's to the screen *much* faster than Extended BASIC:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/173737063356725/posts/1635822757148141/<br /> <br /> 9) David Collins posted some exciting news in the Motorola 6809/6309/6800<br /> Assembly Language Programming group on Facebook. He sent the 4.1 Gerber files<br /> to his github (to make the board), and has posted the full programmers manual<br /> for his 63C09 based computer that boots from SD cards. This is considered<br /> a pre-release. His hackster.io article on it (includes photos and links):<br /> https://www.hackster.io/514197/hb63c09m-10x10-63c09-expandable-single-board-computer-34904b<br /> <br /> 10) Chris Marrin posted a blog about his 6809 emulator written for the<br /> ESP32 S2 Mini (he has it working on ESP8266 and ESP32 boards and Macs):<br /> https://marrin.org/6809-emulator/<br /> He also posted about the 6809 in general, but in addition also about his<br /> C-like language called Clover, which can now use the 6809 as a target:<br /> https://marrin.org/meet-the-motorola-mc6809/<br /> <br /> 11) Craig Iannello posted a question in the Motorola 6x0x group as well<br /> about getting faster code than his own for doing annotated Huffman decoding<br /> (he wants to decode compressed graphics faster) for his PUGPUTER single<br /> board project. In the comments people were asking about the PUGPUTER,<br /> so he gave a link to his github. Pretty cool sounding - HD63C09P running<br /> at 3.58 MHz, 1 to 4 MB of RAM, a Yamaha V9958 Video Display Processor<br /> (same as the MSX2+), a Yamaha YMF-262m (OPL3) sound chip, UART, 32K ROM,<br /> RTC. It even includes a 6309 enhanced version of Microsoft's Extended BASIC<br /> and some graphics and sound samples written in assembly and the enhanced<br /> BASIC (Scroll down to see some sample screens):<br /> https://github.com/caiannello/Pugputer6309<br /> <br /> 12) There are some updates in several areas for ugBASIC:<br /> Beta branch changes Coco related:<br /> - SYS fixed under 6809<br /> - Debugging out fixed on Coco and Coco 3<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/beta<br /> Main branch:<br /> - fixed PRINT at end of screen for Coco 3, Coco, Dragon 32, Dragon 64<br /> - fixed reset YCURSYS on scrolling on 6809 (DP Register)<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/main<br /> Brand new: 1st revision of the User manual is available on the author's<br /> twitch.io page:<br /> https://spotlessmind1975.itch.io/ugbasic-user-manual<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Mike Miller posted some photos and a video of his iKON<br /> Hobbit/Ultradrive/Dragonfly micro cassette system for the Dragon on the<br /> Dragon Facebook group. This setup originally came out in 1983/1984 (version<br /> 2.3 in 1984). This micro cassette system was originally owned by one David<br /> Rothery, who wrote articles for both Dragon User and 6809 User magazines,<br /> including OS9 and hard drive articles:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3848498195409821/<br /> He also posted a PDF to the Dragon group on how to make a cable between<br /> the iKON and the Philips Digital Mini Cassette driver board:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/download/549896360978317/Dragon%20Hobbit%20_%20ikon%20connections.pdf<br /> The World of Dragon forums now have some uploads for the Ikon Ultradrive<br /> Dragonfly OS and manuals:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11199<br /> <br /> 2) Julian Brown posted a photo of the open frame setup version of his<br /> Dragon 32 motherboards that he showed at the Dragon meetup, including his<br /> 256K RAM board which he said worked &quot;great throughout the day&quot;. The new<br /> revision he is working on now adds a new sound generator:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3845552459037728/<br /> He is also now offering his Dragon 32 reproduction board for sale for £17<br /> + shipping. This version is more strictly a Dragon 32, although it does<br /> include an additional connector for the keyboard to make it run as a Coco<br /> (as long as you swap the ROM's as well). It also has an option to run as<br /> NTSC in addition to PAL (this requires a bit more technical skill):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3845476892378618/<br /> <br /> 3) Fix or No Fix on YouTube released a video about a Dragon 32 he got<br /> from a local auction, that is quite yellowed. He tries retrobriting it,<br /> recaps it and then tests to see if it works:<br /> https://youtu.be/oC-TbLCjUi8?si=3-ftbiiCvw8jby3N<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) David Bean posted a screenshot of him winning the text adventure game<br /> The Immortal Strain originally by Michael Edwards for Broomsoft (This game<br /> uses the PMODE 4 screen for the text, so one gets a nice 32x24 screen with<br /> true lowercase and bolded letters). One cool the thing - the original author<br /> (who now goes by Eddie Edwards on Facebook) showed up in the comments to<br /> talk about the game, that he originally wrote when he was 16:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3845844572341850/<br /> <br /> 2) Jim Gerrie released another video about his conversion of Nick Marentes<br /> Stellar Odyssey - the Final Scene. Not going to spoiler it on the show,<br /> but the link will be in the show notes if you want to see it:<br /> https://youtu.be/5vP6kqiIdJA?si=Ysgx_kFEySXRGG1d<br /> He also released a blog post bout porting it:<br /> https://jimgerrie.blogspot.com/2024/10/stellar-odyssey-by-nick-marentes-1982.html<br /> <br /> 3) The Laird's Lair did a comparison of 4 platforms playing Smurf based<br /> games - for the Atari 2600, Colecovision, Atari 8 bit and Tandy Coco 3<br /> (which is 1990 T&amp;D Software game written by Mike Snyder, whom we had as<br /> an interview guest some time ago):<br /> https://youtu.be/ZgWhM1OxSXQ?si=DbL4xFm9t11E6NMR<br /> <br /> 4) Retrogames-co-uk covered the Retro Videogames Show, and had a section<br /> on the Dragons including a Dragon software catalog from April/May 1985,<br /> and Dragon's Berzerk game (Mark Data's original):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc938gxGaD8&amp;t=445s<br /> He also did another video where he found a Dragon 32 machine language<br /> tutorial package, but he liked the fact that it came in with a paper to<br /> join the Cuthbert club, and then goes through some of the history and<br /> Cuthbert games:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBlAMPrUp6Q&amp;t=88s<br /> <br /> 5) The Non-Maskable Interrupt channel on YouTube did some more Coco 3 game<br /> YouTube shorts this past week:<br /> Leisure Suite Larry:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EXBLuLghAXc<br /> Joust (transcode):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4EHJ1gV3K_w<br /> <br /> 6) RetroTrailer-2 posted a video of the Demolition Derby:<br /> https://youtu.be/QL5aFu5oQAg?si=ozTK0B1DOSjdvgzA<br /> <br /> 7) The Wargaming Scribe posted game #152, which does an in depth review of<br /> &quot;Up Periscope&quot;, a 1983 game for the Dragon from Beyond Software:<br /> https://zeitgame.net/archives/15712<br /> <br /> 8) AJ &amp; Tim return to the fourth level of Dungeons of Daggorath for another<br /> 2 hour episode of AJ's frustration and rage:<br /> https://youtu.be/sBfMH6vvUyg?si=WuEQ7HxcgYm-JmX7<br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

For those who have been trying to get a<br /> hold of Frank &amp; Retro Rewind the last little while and have not been getting<br /> timely responses or seeing products in stock - I just found yesterday that<br /> he has been on jury duty, and they aren't even allowed their phones most<br /> of the time. He is not sure how much longer the case he is on will last<br /> (although it is apparently a pretty major one); I will keep you posted as<br /> I hear updates.<br /> <br /> 1) CocoTown released part 2 of &quot;Crashing Car, Crashing Coco&quot;. Where he<br /> learns more about crashes. Of all kinds.<br /> https://youtu.be/PuO4klQEldE?si=fbozem9z0HhTBIyv<br /> <br /> 2) Sheldon MacDonald put up a quick video showing the first SID based tune<br /> on his new Coco SID board (rather than just tones and sound effects):<br /> https://youtu.be/MjuQsSQK4eQ?si=QqigQOeodJVCYQJS<br /> <br /> 3) Glen Hewlett has released version 2.13 of his BASIC to 6809 compiler,<br /> which now adds a new command specifically for the CocoSDC: SDCPLAY. He<br /> also has a demo video up, which shows it streaming 6 bit sound at 44.75 KHz<br /> (this command is meant to play sound un-interrupted):<br /> Video/audio demo:<br /> https://youtu.be/dvVs_6RkLV0?si=x20h4HOtRMRPhBY6<br /> Github with the latest release including SDCPLAY:<br /> https://github.com/nowhereman999/BASIC-To-6809/tree/main<br /> <br /> 5) Sean Connor found a 3rd floating point library for the 6809 (in addition<br /> to the one built into Microsoft BASIC, and the IEEE-754 library), written<br /> by Lennart Benschop, and he did some benchmark comparisons taking into<br /> consideration both code size and speed:<br /> https://boston.conman.org/2024/10/13.1<br /> <br /> 6) TRS-80 Retro Programing did a video update on his Tales of Suburbia -<br /> which now supports saving and loading a game in progress to disk, his first<br /> game to do so, since he never had a disk drive on his real Coco back in<br /> the day:<br /> https://youtu.be/gNcxAiPw22I?si=R7IK0LgcvaciJnJA<br /> <br /> 7) 8=Bit Relics released a short advertisement for their Coco 2/3 dust<br /> cover, on sale at vitnoshop.com:<br /> https://youtu.be/AV2vqULidh0?si=avVbvmrZ_hpoIlsn<br /> <br /> 8) RetroAndGaming from Norway returns with a YouTube video showing using<br /> a VCR to get his Coco 1 running on a modern TV - using SCART in Europe. It<br /> kind of works, sometimes:<br /> https://youtu.be/WYZEpqSQ7vs?si=3iCRw4beOaIWDVBF<br /> <br /> 9) Ctrl-Alt-Rees on YouTube, a UK YouTuber (who has been a guest host on<br /> RMC while Neil was away on Paternity leave) picked up a Japanese machine<br /> (Cefucom-21) that is a dual Z80 based machine, but uses the 6847 video chip<br /> that the Coco, MC-10, Dragon, Acorn Atom and some other machines used. It's<br /> not working at this point, but he shows the 3 main boards that are inside:<br /> https://youtu.be/11sqTJXXSQo?si=L0tUn1bR0fipE5eV<br /> <br /> 10) Joel Rees (currently living in Japan) did a series of long blog<br /> entries that is the start of an assembly language tutorial for the 6800,<br /> 6801, 6809 and 68000 to demonstrate the split stack paradigm/discipline<br /> (using U as an actual second stack vs. as a frame (or data memory in OS9)<br /> pointer. This is a still ongoing series:<br /> https://joels-programming-fun.blogspot.com/2024/03/alpp-assembly-language-programming.html<br /> <br /> 11) Tony Jewell shared some photos from his planned theme for this years<br /> Retro Computer Festival (Nov 9-10 at the Centre for Computing History in<br /> Cambridge, England), which is 6847 based machines. He shows some screenshots<br /> from the Japanese PC-6001 which used the VDG, but shows a completely<br /> different character set, and the greens aren't the same as we are used to:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/173737063356725/posts/1632687604128323/<br /> (One cool thing linked in the comments is about some machines like the<br /> Samsung SPC-1000 that really pushed the VDG with mixed color sets,etc.),<br /> as shown in an article by Emerson Costa. Basically it uses 2 bytes per<br /> character, with the &quot;attributes&quot; byte controlling the control pins for<br /> internal/external character sets, semigraphics 4/6 changes, text inversion<br /> and the color palette select. Unfortunately the blog front end he is using<br /> doesn't seem to work properly with Google Translate - it just spins gears<br /> and never completes. I could copy/paste chunks of text directly, though):<br /> Portuguese page with graphics examples):<br /> https://ensjo.blogspot.com/2015/07/um-display-rico-com-mc6847.html<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Retro Recycling has started a video (series, I presume) going through<br /> the Color BASIC manual on an emulated MC-10:<br /> https://youtu.be/VGxnFr3JNq4?si=_7aBI_yKUWoMury0<br /> Retro Recycling did another MC-10 video (and apparently now owns a physical<br /> one as well!), this time doing a grass simulator (he did a couple of new<br /> videos actually, although some are more just fooling around with random<br /> numbers):<br /> https://youtu.be/TFt3kuVPrps?si=uA2_ZrT67zXHQKsQ<br /> <br /> 2) Spriteworx has boxed copies of his new MC-10 game T.H.E.M. in stock again:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/8381638028629612/<br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Richard Atkinson has uploaded a VDK disk image to the Dragon Facebook<br /> gropu for testing colour mix test patterns designed for use on the French<br /> SECAM based Dragons (he posted a screeshot of some of the color blends he<br /> got in the comments, which in some cases look smooth enough to be additional<br /> colors to the standard 4 at a time that the VDG can produce):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3841468396112801/<br /> And screenshots taken from the Dragon Meetup on the SECAM Dragons they<br /> had at the show, showing even more of the colour mixing:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3837338476525793/<br /> And finally, pictures of the insides of Richard Harding's SECAM Dragon:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3837328376526803/<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie posted first and alpha, and then a beta, and then finally<br /> a release candidate of his MC-10/Coco port of Nick Marentes first ever<br /> commercial game for the TRS-80 Model 1/3 that he did way back in October<br /> of 1982, Stellar Odyssey:<br /> Beta (this is a long play video with some spoilers - be warned):<br /> https://youtu.be/rGnYhRbw-Z4?si=RVsJS7xQ2tzbnZGh<br /> Release Candidate (where you discover your mission):<br /> https://youtu.be/VO3VYwLQHes?si=T_smsgcmB6LFT_GU<br /> And download link:<br /> https://github.com/jggames/trs80mc10/tree/master/quicktype/Latest_Jim_G_MC-10_Compilation/Text%20Adventures<br /> (Search for &quot;STLODSSY.C10&quot;)<br /> <br /> 2) Tim and AJ cover Robotack on the Coco on their latest episode of Sibling<br /> Rivalry... and played cooperatively! (Same way I did back in the day):<br /> https://youtu.be/DQHq8OtL_a0?si=nnby6htBJv1QJHRI<br /> <br /> 3) Chronologically Gaming hit the first Coco game for November of 1982 -<br /> 3-D Brickaway by Britt Monk (sold a few months later through Avalon Hill<br /> as Breakthrough):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa1-7nmggV4&amp;t=442s<br /> (I will mention for general 6809 fans - he covered the launch of the<br /> Vectrex earlier this past week as well)<br /> <br /> 4) Brandon Tetrau did a short video showing how he has his Launchbox set<br /> up for his Coco emulators, which includes short video with audio clips<br /> for each game in it's menu selection system:<br /> https://youtu.be/D952m6Dzsus?si=jCrsKHJ5_9R6ei48<br /> <br /> 5) Jostive fivezer on YouTube continued his playing of Coco games (mixed<br /> with many other platforms) this past week, continuing on with 3 more PacMan<br /> derivatives after playing Nick's PacMan Tribute last week. This week he<br /> posted longplay videos covering:<br /> Scarfman by The Cornsoft Group - the only ML 4K Pacman for the Coco:<br /> https://youtu.be/W4TbNN5alWg?si=6tEg2WoNTPWWKyQS<br /> Ghost Gobbler by Spectral Associates:<br /> https://youtu.be/hZ4CmTiba70?si=Fl3qea2uM908vDQI<br /> Jaws (Pac Jaws) by Michael Freeman (a highly customizable PacMan clone,<br /> with multiple mazes and even intermissions):<br /> https://youtu.be/NG9Gtp-H1UQ?si=LJYgDK48jHw3Kujs<br /> <br /> 6) Non-Maskable Interrupt also joined in the PacMan fun, doing a YouTube<br /> short of Glen Hewlett's PacMan transcode:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XTaUMji3S6E<br /> <br /> 7) Dan Norder posted about a &quot;Roguelike Celebration&quot; this weekend (an<br /> online conference), and his contribution to this even is the game Hobbit<br /> by David Sweet from Rainbow magazine, January 1983:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/colorcomputer/posts/1064463788502686/<br /> <br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

Curtis Boyle<br /> <br /> Special Guests today:<br /> ---------------------<br /> Hopefully someone from the Dragon Meetup (or at least photos from said event)<br /> <br /> I also have an unboxing (just the main shipping box to show what it is)<br /> for what will be one of two door prizes I will be contributing to 2025's<br /> CocoFest (the other is the Tandy issue of Pixel Addict magazine). Thanks<br /> to Jay Mundy for arranging this!<br /> <br /> <br /> Interview schedule:<br /> --------------------<br /> A follow-up to WORC (World of Retro Computing) with showrunning Justus,<br /> Trina of Trina's Technobabble and Stacey (who actually had a Coco exhibit,<br /> but couldn't make our preview show) are going to come on to tell us how<br /> the show went, and Stacey will finally get to talk about her booth and<br /> the Coco's she was showing. This should be happening on October 26.<br /> <br /> <br /> Upcoming conventions/trade shows of interest to Coco people:<br /> ------------------------------------------------------------<br /> The Dragon Meetup one week from now: October 12-13, 2024 at the Museum of<br /> Technology in Cambridge, England:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3776261519300156/<br /> <br /> Bob Emery let me know that there is a Dallas Fort Worth Retro Computing<br /> Meetup in Dallas on October 19, from noon until 4 pm, at Bingo Bingo,<br /> 1806 S Carrier Parkway, Grand Prairie, Texas:<br /> https://www.meetup.com/DFW-Retrocomputing/events/303767722?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=braze_canvas&amp;utm_campaign=mmrk_alleng_event_announcement_prod_v7_en&amp;utm_term=promo&amp;utm_content=lp_meetup<br /> <br /> Retro Computer Festival 2024: November 9-10, 2024<br /> Centre for Computing History, Cambridge, England<br /> The largest general retro computing show in the UK (it's their VCF style<br /> show), covering all retro machines.

This always has a strong Coco/CP-400/etc. contingent, including multiple<br /> people who have been guests on our show.It is happening at 1670 Haroldo<br /> Soares Glavan road, Cacupé, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina.<br /> https://retrosc.org/<br /> <br /> VCF-SoCal - Feb 15-16 (Hotel Fera in Orange, California.<br /> https://www.vcfsocal.com/<br /> <br /> VCF East has had a date change for next years show due to a scheduling<br /> conflict. It is now April 4-6, 2025 - same facility as this year. Info<br /> Age Science Museum, Wall, NJ.<br /> https://vcfed.org/events/vintage-computer-festival-east/<br /> <br /> VCF-SW in Texas has been booked with dates: June 20-22, 2025 at the Davidson<br /> Gundy Alumni Center, University of Texas, Dallas, Texas.<br /> Tables &amp; Tickets will go on sale January 2025. $20/adult ($25 if bought<br /> at the door), $10/student ($15 at the door). 17 and under are free (with<br /> accompanying adult). Tables are $50.<br /> https://www.vcfsw.org/<br /> <br /> Tim Lindner let me know that next year's Portland Retro Gaming Expo runs<br /> from October 17-19 in 2025 (they just had this years Sept 27-29).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Coco 1/2/3 (and multi-platform)<br /> -------------------------------<br /> 1) CocoTown is back to his Moon Patrol game, titled Crashing the car,<br /> crashing my Coco (Part 1). Sounds exciting!<br /> https://youtu.be/DSswbvCwjoM?si=s5XcJwUQX_l8K6vo<br /> <br /> 2) George Janssen released part 2 of lesson 14 for programming assembly<br /> language for the Coco 3 - using 512K. He also released the source code<br /> samples on the Coco Discord:<br /> https://youtu.be/W2A9-EtTAoQ?si=86llCdQOCVXcMp4m<br /> <br /> 3) More updates for ugBASIC:<br /> Main branch dating back to Oct. 6 had multiple updates, including some<br /> 6809 code generation optimizations:<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/main<br /> Beta branch seems to be other machines or some updates for all machines:<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/beta<br /> <br /> 4) The Retrocomputing Roundtable podcast has a recent tradition of going<br /> through each year to name which computers and technologies came out each<br /> year, based on the episode number. For the latest episode 280 they are<br /> covering 1980 - which included the Coco &amp; Pocket Computer from Tandy:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/7__iJycFGYo?si=IZtnzedEZufos15X&amp;t=326<br /> <br /> 5) The Clueless Engineer released a part 1 video about a late model NTSC<br /> US model Coco 2 that he is using in Australia. Here he goes through the<br /> board, and getting the video to work:<br /> https://youtu.be/cv5t9UkH9HU?si=0E6DxIS1fGlEutOv<br /> <br /> 6) Retro Recycling on YouTube did several long videos on programming a<br /> Coco. I think these are actually being done by a younger person, which is<br /> great to see:<br /> An hour long video called &quot;How to program your Coco with Extended BASIC&quot;,<br /> with a simple type in game at the end:<br /> https://youtu.be/MW4xFEIMz7o?si=RflJCz0QTcbCe9SR<br /> Simple games showcase (note his voice is low on this one compared to<br /> games sounds):<br /> https://youtu.be/-k78utPjgRg?si=0naH6c4sjBSx2Cv_<br /> Donkey - ported from the Microsoft Retro game:<br /> https://youtu.be/SLDcppcDeSQ?si=cJs5YuaOxF1Ku1_v<br /> A betting game:<br /> https://youtu.be/jQ0cmHCBPNo?si=QydvIUJrcOM3Gd3e<br /> These are all very simple text based games... I wonder if he knows about<br /> SET/RESET graphics, Extended BASIC higher res graphics and Coco 3 graphics<br /> yet?<br /> <br /> 7) Sheldon MacDonald released a short video on his YouTube channel showing<br /> what his secret project that he teased us about on Facebook is - a SID<br /> chip hooked up and programmed by the Coco:<br /> https://youtu.be/XqgNsJJO86Y?si=ENMk6u5T6EcmPYrO<br /> <br /> 8) Glen Hewlett has added fast GET/PUT buffers to his BASIC compiler<br /> in progress:<br /> &quot;Versions 2.12 is out which now adds the graphics commands GET &amp; PUT<br /> They work the same as normal Extended BASIC with an extra option for the<br /> PUT command which is XOR which XORs the bits on screen with the bits of<br /> the GET buffer as:<br /> 100 PUT(C,Y)-(C+4,Y+9),Sprite1,XOR<br /> <br /> From the updated manual (which still needs lots of work)<br /> GET dimension size calculation:<br /> To calculate the size of the array space for your GET/PUT buffer use the<br /> following formula:<br /> First dimension in the array is calculated with this formula:<br /> If you saw the calculation here earlier please Ignore them and see next<br /> post for proper calculations.<br /> Unfortunately the DIM command can only take numbers as values (can’t use<br /> formulas) as the numbers are used directly to calculate how much space should<br /> be reserved and this is done with the compilers preprocessing/tokenizing<br /> stage.

The reason so much space is needed for sprites is because the<br /> GET command preprocesses the sprite data and saves bit shifted versions in<br /> the array space that are ready to be PUT on the screen as fast as possible.<br /> This means the sprites will be just as fast on a byte boundary as it is<br /> on any other pixel.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Ron Delvaux uploaded a video showing Simon's latest version of his 4<br /> voice music player for the MC-10, using it's internal 1-bit sound (warning:<br /> Facebook is not letting me change the volume):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/8313488882111194/<br /> <br /> 2) Jim Gerrie reports that he has started working on porting Nick Marentes<br /> 1982 TRS-80 Model I game Stellar Odyssey to the MC-10:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/8307922082667874/<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie ported the game &quot;Murder One!&quot; (originally Dean Mackie,<br /> Peter J. Lear &amp; Graham Richards from the 1985 book &quot;TRS-80 Colour Computer<br /> Programmer's Handbook/What Else Can You Do with Your TRS-80&quot; from Hayes<br /> Publishing:<br /> https://youtu.be/hG8jP-GNdI8?si=qHt0E4MlIdtv1BAa<br /> <br /> 2) RichN (the person in the Coco Discord working on a Coco 1/2 Spy Hunter<br /> game posted a video of his current progress, which has come a long way. What<br /> makes it even more interesting is that it sounds like he is working on a<br /> serial port (bit banger) port program so that a second Coco can be hooked<br /> up to the main Spy Hunter playing one, and essentially the use the second<br /> one as a &quot;sound card&quot;, where it would play music independently, but be<br /> controlled (as to which song, etc.) based on data being sent over the port:<br /> (show local file &quot;spy_hunter_update (Rich N).mov&quot;)<br /> <br /> 3) non_maskable_interrupt on YouTube released several YouTube Short Coco<br /> video games, running on real hardware and a CM-8 (with a door!):<br /> Predator:<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/oeeTAiZxmmI?si=ZrecXz3NAWm1tOpF<br /> Silpheed:<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/K-Co1uI2gMU?si=vNqSlaCAl75_6qAF<br /> MegaBug:<br /> https://youtube.com/shorts/da0tSmA4ijY?si=fN7CWrv11Ge9BWHW<br /> <br /> 4) Nostalgiavault on YouTube also released multiple Coco game videos this<br /> past week:<br /> Inufuto's Ascend (he tried the Coco 3 and MC-10 versions, which I won't<br /> show here), Mega-Bug (which I won't show)<br /> Paul Fiscarelli's Run Dino Run:<br /> https://youtu.be/dSZcDFg5xC4?si=dFkZdbooYdoUzerS<br /> George Janssen's 2048:<br /> https://youtu.be/fLQyLl2s6EU?si=TptAlsxC7M5cbAYQ<br /> CCW's Color It (educational):<br /> https://youtu.be/BxhQWbdcIQw?si=kqzaX15EoDm3NPky<br /> Christmas scene (not really a game, and artifact colors reversed):<br /> https://youtu.be/I1BvQ_JUlsg?si=zkgzOhWbkfIx1_5u<br /> Christmas song book (using BASIC):<br /> https://youtu.be/GobkZJxKw-U?si=tFR0pYjP8x0jIRnr<br /> Number Race (I think this was a magazine type in educational game?):<br /> https://youtu.be/hXJGG2DhEwI?si=nFEr9K_yWEavmOhe<br /> <br /> 5) Jostive fivezer on YouTube did a couple of retro Coco gameplay videos<br /> as well (using Ciaran's excellent XRoar Online emulator):<br /> Apples:<br /> https://youtu.be/hQJFL0fqp4o?si=tx_lZ7lAEduCLgee<br /> Vultures (originally from the Dragon)<br /> https://youtu.be/yzM2mHRuXes?si=52gvl0S3MZHHWKeC<br /> PacMan Tribute (he is playing the original 1 screen demo release in this<br /> video) by Nick Marentes:<br /> https://youtu.be/xPT_TAHLftE?si=we-USjrDQ67LqQaF<br /> <br /> 6) Chronologically Gaming did a special episode this past week - he<br /> had a live guest on, and they linked Dragon emulators together over the<br /> internet to play head to head Wizard War from Salamander Software, that<br /> was released in October of 1982. This is a game I have seen before, but<br /> have never delved into:<br /> https://youtu.be/8FXgzl2oMrs?si=pj8AJSGl_Rz6Q0ci<br /> He also reviewed Williamsburg Adventure #3 also from October 1982 (which<br /> I believe was originally on the Coco, but the Coco version is lost?):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-momJXTAZO4&amp;t=41s<br /> I will mention that has just started November 1982, and introduced the<br /> Japanese Fujistu FM-7 - another 6809 based system that included better<br /> graphics, and a sound chip, compared to the Coco.<br /> <br /> 7) Rick Adams has released a Super Extended BASIC Coco 3 game called<br /> Fox Hunt:<br /> Announcement:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161703228147641/<br /> Download, instructions, source:<br /> https://github.com/yggdrasilradio/foxhunt/tree/master<br /> <br /> 8) Carlos Camacho posted the generated source listing using AI to convert<br /> from an Apple II graphics program to a Coco 1/2 graphics program:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161702542742641/<br /> <br /> 9) David Bean showed on the Dragon Facebook group that he &quot;finally managed<br /> to finish a Dragon game&quot;. The game is Zorakk the Conqueror:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3830219303904377/<br /> <br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

Neil Blanchard of the Coco Crew Podcast and make of Coco hardware<br /> (like the wood cased arcade style joysticks, amongst other things) was<br /> one of the contestants, and there were a fair number of Coco related<br /> questions. Fun was had by all:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/mU2vQw-uQD0?si=k72kIycHuWdNePD7<br /> <br /> 3) Anachronistic Things on YouTube posted a SepTandy video showing Fujinet<br /> running on his Coco 2. Unfortunately his Coco 2 died near the end, so a<br /> followup video is planned to fix it:<br /> https://youtu.be/1GBUFgUQnKI?si=dYQ9931lx8OZz8N-<br /> <br /> 4) George Janssen returns to his Coco 3 assembly language tutorial series<br /> with part 1 of Lesson 14 - how to use 512K in a Coco 3:<br /> https://youtu.be/1jHnbKR51XY?si=xPwhbe83NvegyzR7<br /> <br /> 5) EJ Jaquay has a prelease version of VCC (version 2.1.9.1-pre2, which<br /> is a pre-release for testing for 2.1.9.2) on his github. It has changes<br /> listed on the github link:<br /> https://github.com/VCCE/VCC/releases/tag/vcc-2.1.9.1-pre2<br /> <br /> 6) CocoTown released one more SepTandy video, this time covering MAME<br /> and debugging - but using a different debugger than the one that normally<br /> comes with MAME (QT):<br /> https://youtu.be/SGCeq_4uOVU?si=TGxZQ4DP49H8lnwL<br /> <br /> 7) Sneaking in just under the wire, Wayne Campbell and I have made the<br /> PDF available for the &quot;Sneak Preview&quot; new BASIC09 manual for NitrOS9 Level<br /> II. Aside from containing some error corrections from the original manual<br /> and expanded and improved sample programs, this preview release contains<br /> all of chapters 1-9 and includes the updated and expanded GFX and GFX2<br /> functions as well. We are continuing to work on finished the remaining<br /> chapters and also adding a brand new one for working with the Multi-Vue<br /> environment. You can find it on Facebook (in the Coco group, Coco DFE group,<br /> and NitrOS9 group) and on the #basic09 channel on Discord.<br /> Facebook link:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161687572772641/<br /> <br /> 8) Michael Furman also got his SepTandy video out with just over an hour<br /> to spare, featuring MAME4iOS:<br /> https://youtu.be/Mx8gYfw8YwU?si=IamRJxNefeaG5JiX<br /> <br /> 9) 8 Bit Doodads on YouTube put up a video on YouTube called &quot;Having an<br /> Ewaste Friend Has Benefits!&quot;, which shows a bunch of retro computer gear<br /> he has gotten through electronic recycling (Ewaste). Included is a Coco<br /> 1 he picked up:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rmdhEJTj6I&amp;t=1795s<br /> <br /> 10) Tom Cherryhomes speech on &quot;the state of the union&quot; on Fujinet from<br /> VCF-MW is now up, including updates on the Coco port:<br /> https://youtu.be/gBZmMhR-f6w?si=7zFF486KAEkLKqei<br /> <br /> 11) Brazilian YouTube channel Veim dos Game uploaded a video about fixing<br /> a Prologica CP-400 Color (Brazilian Coco clone). Progress is made, but<br /> there is still intermittent issues:<br /> https://youtu.be/-Xb57XQYWDM?si=cq8rfcU7jOCwUqtj<br /> <br /> 12) 8-Bit Retro Journal did a SepTandy video on fixing a broken Coco 2. He<br /> is reaching out for some help on this one, so I hope some of the hardware<br /> types in the audience can leave some comments on his video:<br /> https://youtu.be/_nuFL7OYb5g?si=JvKBJTeQK-BLZGJZ<br /> <br /> 13) John Kowalski (Sock Master) posted a link in the Coco Discord to a<br /> video about the space probe &quot;The Europa Clipper: A Voyage to the Waters<br /> Above&quot;, on the YouTube channel ParallaxNick. While quite a few of us are<br /> interested in space exploration, why is this a Coco related video? Because<br /> in the middle of the video they use some &quot;stock footage&quot; showing a women's<br /> hands typing a chiclet keyboard. Specifically, a Coco 1 chiclet keyboard. I<br /> was not aware that a Coco 1 *had* stock footage...:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=981s_PEFB_g&amp;t=1899s&amp;ab_channel=ParallaxNick<br /> <br /> 14) Ciaran (Sixxie) posted on the World of Dragon forums that the online<br /> version of XRoar has some new enhancements (this is from his own site,<br /> I don't know if the Color Computer Archive is linked to this new version<br /> yet). The View tab has new TV controls, including a Hue function to allow<br /> on to get graphics as close to what they remember of their own setup back<br /> in the day. The File tab lets one create and save DMK formatted disks.<br /> Announcement:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&amp;t=11197<br /> Direct link to the updated version online:<br /> https://www.6809.org.uk/xroar/online/<br /> <br /> 15) Dave Wiens (who helped design the most advanced no-halt disk controller<br /> for the Coco back in the late 1980's, amongst other things) posted an update<br /> his own ST-2900 computer project, using a highly modified OS-9/6809 kernel,<br /> and provided details about it in the OS9/NitrOS9 group on Facebook:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/1929079184021683/posts/3748403632089220/<br /> <br /> 16) Ian Mavric posted pictures of Steve Leininger signing his 64K Coco<br /> from Tandy Assembly. Steve was the creator the Model I, and helped a bit<br /> with the creation of the Coco as well:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161693014492641/<br /> <br /> 17) Marco Spedaletti has announced that ugBASIC version 1.16.4 has been<br /> officially released for a multitude of platforms. This is the cross platform<br /> BASIC cross-compiler he has written, which supports the Coco 1/2/3 amongst<br /> many others:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161689018462641/<br /> Info specifically Coco related:<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/target/coco?target=coco123<br /> <br /> 18) Terry Trapp did a video about trying to convert Coco 3 RGB to VGA<br /> (Part 1) on his YouTube channel, Terry's Workbench (Sorry, the volume is<br /> really low on this video):<br /> https://youtu.be/_FW_ryytBQw?si=7lbRkigqHdlF1Qmf<br /> <br /> 19) Glen Hewlett released a new version of his BASIC compiler:<br /> https://github.com/nowhereman999/BASIC-To-6809<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Jamie's Hack Shack did another #SepTandy video where he finally got a<br /> chance to install and try out his MCX-128 upgrade for the MC-10 (predecessor<br /> to the SD32). This adds Extended BASIC, 128K of RAM, EmCee (DriveWire like)<br /> functionality, etc.:<br /> https://youtu.be/fRLVYzIm6cA?si=x2--k9aSNJcnihv9<br /> <br /> 2) Jim Gerrie ported &quot;Database&quot; originally by Hayes Publishing in 1985<br /> from the book TRS-80 Colour Computer Programmer's Handbook/What Else Can<br /> You Do With Your TRS-80 - to the MC-10. It is rather odd in that it gives<br /> you instructions while running to modify the program itself:<br /> https://youtu.be/1Jsglxt5qvU?si=7X0oL1D4ZCulA-rj<br /> <br /> 3) Jay Mundy (Spriteworx on YouTube, and author of the brand new<br /> T.H.E.M. game for the MC-19) did a video on adding HDMI output to the<br /> MC-10 based on the board from Aaron Newcomb of Retro Hack Shack:<br /> https://youtu.be/YbKqfhJnOls?si=W-y6YJ23F_HGrVy1<br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) dublevay on the World of Dragon archive forums mentioned that - thanks<br /> to Phil-Harvey-Smith - Dragon Beta add-on board schematics, PCB's and<br /> PAL/SRC files are available on the D<br /> Announcement:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&amp;t=11196<br /> Direct link to what is available as add-ons:<br /> https://github.com/dragonplus-electronics/Dragon-Beta-Addons<br /> <br /> 2) Julian Brown posted a detailed update on his Rev 3 motherboard replacement<br /> for a Dragon 32 on the Dragon Facebook group.

Catch us and other from an international group on their<br /> YouTube channel:<br /> https://youtu.be/-P6DwG0Bwd0?si=mEJWBnVtOy6Tq7vR<br /> <br /> 5) Wi-Fi Sheep Tech Channel on YouTube released his first ever #SepTandy<br /> video - with him running a Coco-Pi and NitrOS9 (gotta plug that!):<br /> https://youtu.be/ff_45ua5KhE?si=e9ahHpieRP-PMEYE<br /> <br /> 6) Tandy Assembly had their Tech Talks streamed live on their YouTube<br /> channel yesterday. One that is Coco related was John Strong talking about<br /> Interfacing with the Color Computer:<br /> General live stream channel:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/@tandyassembly3099<br /> John's Talk:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/live/PuLk8Qqh2tE?si=SaYqJd5c0TN2wazN<br /> <br /> 7) Davidk4715 on YouTube put up a short demo of his X-Pad graphics tablet<br /> on the Coco:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qAfNGQ494Uw<br /> <br /> 8) Spanish YouTube channel RetroComputo did a review of the CocoSDC for<br /> their SepTandy video this past week, including SDC Explorer:<br /> https://youtu.be/KBQSJfrj3bQ?si=4wASIMcNReFRl6ei<br /> <br /> 9) Brian Jones put up a video showing Apple Vision Pro Gaming (this is the<br /> Apple super-expensive VR glasses use) - trying out Downland streaming via<br /> Stream Deck:<br /> https://youtu.be/p97MODBFqgE?si=Rz5khaz_fv0npmGV<br /> <br /> 10) Spanish YouTube channel ArJoreg1987Retro posted an almost half hour about<br /> The World of Retro Computing Show that took place in Kitchener a couple of<br /> weeks ago. We plan on having the same guests we had on ahead of the show<br /> to review it, and hopefully Stacey can make it this time to talk about<br /> her Coco exhibit (which is shown in this video, before it is up and running):<br /> https://youtu.be/VfTqytyJtwM?si=xScJirUcT5LBkSUK<br /> <br /> 11) A bit &quot;off to the side&quot; for the Coco is a video from YouTube channel<br /> Retro4u, who found a 68008 upgrade board for the BBC Micro that is supposed<br /> to run OS-9 (OSK version). The reason I am mentioning this video is that<br /> the Coco itself had 68008 board upgrades in the mid-1980's, and initially<br /> Chris Burke's unreleased Rocket CPU upgrade board was also going to use it<br /> (he ended up deciding on a 68340, I believe... but it never received enough<br /> orders and was never manufactured). This video shows him fixing physical<br /> issues with the upgrade board, and burning the OS9 boot ROM from Cumana<br /> (which I think did other OS9/OSK ports back in the 1980's).<br /> https://youtu.be/QnZIm0DagGg?si=AnSvbqPkZzzh_AeW<br /> <br /> 12) Henry Gernhardt of The Break Key fame on YouTube returns to his FORTH<br /> language ROM project - this episode he actually gets Forth running from<br /> an actual ROM.

He posted a video of it on<br /> the Coco Discord:<br /> (use local file 'spy_hunter_update (Rich N).mov')<br /> <br /> 2) Jim Gerrie ported &quot;Warlords&quot; by Canadian company Speakeasy Software in<br /> 1978 (originally in Integer BASIC for the Apple II) to the MC-10:<br /> https://youtu.be/S0FTZNLyqkQ?si=gOxGkkHm2B72fuA9<br /> He also ported Microtriva from the same company:<br /> https://youtu.be/nwQ1BCgmC-U?si=dwekugMkEwwetilh<br /> <br /> 3) Fabrizio Caruso has released a new game with his cross platform (over 200<br /> different machines) program language (Cross-Lib) that is based on the Chrome<br /> browser game TREX (as is an earlier Coco version called Run, Dino, Run):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161677024287641/<br /> <br /> 4) The Mastertronic website has now added a review of the Dragon version<br /> of Horace Goes Skiing:<br /> https://mastertronic.co.uk/game-review-horace-goes-skiing-dragon-32-melbourne-house/<br /> <br /> 5) Chronologically Gaming is back after fixing his PC, and covered both<br /> Star Trek:PSS on the Dragon 32, and Starfire on the Coco on his first<br /> episode back:<br /> Star Trek:PSS<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K2N4Qoplpc&amp;t=36s<br /> Starfire:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K2N4Qoplpc&amp;t=1311s<br /> As an aside, but not Coco related - he also covered Nick Marentes earliest<br /> commercial hybrid BASIC/ML game for the TRS-80 Model 1, Stellar Odyssey:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ3mlizHX2g&amp;t=1047s<br /> <br /> 6) Retro Gaming Nook put up a SepTandy video showing &quot;3 Surprising<br /> Coco Games You Need to Try Now&quot;. These are the various Ghost Rush games<br /> (including the latest Goop Rush) and Video Poker (both by Paul Shoemaker)<br /> and the Donkey Kong transcode by John Kowalski (Sock Master):<br /> https://youtu.be/zoezF9z9yBY?si=V-CEZwjWiWB1s311<br /> <br /> 7) Tim and AJ return with Sibling Rivalry's pursuit of winning Dungeons of<br /> Daggorath... part 5. In this episode AJ vanquishes the wizards image and<br /> makes it to level 4 - where there is a whole slew of brand new monsters<br /> to deal with:<br /> https://youtu.be/nT4Dep2MD1w?si=Gr4IsQYvaB5YSmPD<br /> <br /> 8) Jay Mundy has announced in the MC-10 group on Facebook that his MC-10<br /> arcade game T.H.E.M. is now available from his itch.io page, requiring<br /> the MCX-32SD:<br /> Announcement:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/260663051145211/posts/1651300265414809/<br /> Itch.io page:<br /> https://spriteworx.itch.io/them-total-human-eradication-mandate<br /> YouTube video:<br /> https://youtu.be/c4diW4AF41A?si=KWNG8gwlKomADK-A<br /> <br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

And then some other programs<br /> he wrote in his childhood (long before he started the Moon Patrol game):<br /> https://youtu.be/gv6TGXkplT8?si=LTRU__qZtSJBPfVO<br /> <br /> 3) Tim Halloran posted parts 5 &amp; 6 of his video series on restoring<br /> and getting his Coco 2 ready to take to Tandy Assembly, which is next<br /> weekend. This is a unit that will be going into the no minimum bid auction<br /> to fund raise for next years show. The Coco 2 is cleaned up, has the power<br /> supply changed to run off of a USB cable, includes the little RF style<br /> adaptor to run on a modern TV, and even includes Dungeons of Daggorath in<br /> it's original packaging with the manual. He also tests it with the TP-10<br /> thermal printer, but that won't be included in the auction:<br /> Part 5 (the USB power supply):<br /> https://youtu.be/CNzk02t6Vxs?si=kXLOkAshzoV8I7_3<br /> Part 6 (final testing):<br /> https://youtu.be/g6hP7op2Htw?si=v4d-xvlVZPC8-zVQ<br /> <br /> 4) TRS-80 Retro Programing released a video showing importing/exporting<br /> variables using a disk/tape template, using his upcoming Tales of Suburbia<br /> game:<br /> https://youtu.be/EADAp4Gthqs?si=ljYb9ZMIyIZcAzUd<br /> <br /> 5) Ken of Canadian Retro Things released his video of what Coco goodies<br /> he picked up in a box full of stuff at VCF-MW:<br /> https://youtu.be/HGzmXWiXsI8?si=qjTbPGVHCjAyUgiy<br /> <br /> 6) Ciaran Anscomb has released XRoar 1.6.4, which fixes a couple of bugs:<br /> Control+Shift+digit shortcuts, and LUT based composite rendering wasn't<br /> working properly if a Coco 3 was selected. You can get it from his XRoar<br /> site:<br /> https://www.6809.org.uk/xroar/<br /> <br /> 7) Tandy Assembly had a couple of announcements for their show next weekend<br /> posted on the Coco Facebook group this past week:<br /> Rick Adams will be a presenter again this year, with his topic being Coco<br /> War Stories:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161651794932641/<br /> Neil Blanchard plays the role of a model in showing off the wearable merch<br /> that one can get at Tandy Assembly:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/tandyassembly/posts/pfbid0XNSezmCBBLBm3LjviPa6ttKZfcHWUH9DKaR1T97Rm4n2MfBmcG2W3WXVRxnuMhdql<br /> <br /> 8) Erico Monteiro posted a mockup of a PC/WEB vector program to change<br /> vector graphic files to DRAW statements on the Facebook Coco group.

Inosaur (cute fake name) posted a photo on the Coco Facebook<br /> group of a $59 AUS RF to HDMI converter, and shows a picture of MegaBug<br /> generated with it. It should be mentioned that it is from a PAL Coco,<br /> so the colors are not the same:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161645792357641/<br /> <br /> 10) Jim McClellan touched up his Coco 1 with flat grey rattle can paint -<br /> and it looks pretty good, as shown by his photo in the Coco Facebook group:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161639371482641/<br /> <br /> 11) Sheldon MacDonald posted a photo of a Coco hardware project that he<br /> is working on onto the Coco Facebook group, but hasn't revealed what it<br /> is yet. His only clue so far: &quot;It's meant to compliment the CocoSDC and<br /> get rid of the need of a multi-pack interface&quot;. Knowing his past work,<br /> I am guessing either a sound or joystick cartridge that has a pass-through<br /> for the CocosDC? What are your guesses?<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161636375917641/<br /> <br /> 12) Jason Walters posted on the Coco DFE Facebook group pohotos of his<br /> Coco 3 Athena 1.2 motherboard he received from Rocky Hill (Pedro Pana),<br /> which he has now gotten up and running, and he included multiple photos:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/colorcomputer/posts/1043106977305034/<br /> <br /> 13) Eddie Malphrus posted in Coco DFE group on Facebook about his long search<br /> to find the original Project Green Thumb hardware (250 were originally<br /> manufactured, of which 200 went to farmers in Kentucky. After months of<br /> searching.. he found a real one (not a mockup). This is the precursor to<br /> both the VideoTex terminal that came out in the spring of 1980 and the<br /> Coco 1 that came out a few months later, but is the forerunner of the<br /> Coco and of Tandy and Motorola working together. Awesome history here,<br /> with photos. Side note: He mentions that the host server machine was an<br /> HP-3000 mini computer - I am familiar with this machine, as we had one at<br /> my work after the PDP-11/34:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/colorcomputer/posts/1041886017427130/<br /> <br /> 14) 8bitsinthebasement (aka Peter) release a SepTandy video, celebrating his<br /> Coco 2 making hardware and software to make it simulate an Etch' n' Sketch:<br /> https://youtu.be/AgGDgrtg6Tc?si=RbWAUm-PEdFQiJXb<br /> <br /> 15) YouTube channel RetroAndGaming put up a video about his trying to get a<br /> CASDuino, TZXDuino or MAXDuino to work for loading cassette based games on<br /> both his MSX and Coco 1. As he mentions in the description, things didn't<br /> turn out as planned...at least on the MSX:<br /> https://youtu.be/2uQ_HT3kg-g?si=eG85V5rosjH3lEDs<br /> <br /> 16) Mike Hawkey released a short video of his SepTandy project on the Coco<br /> with a TP-10 thermal printer - printing out a maze to the printer from<br /> a maze generator program on the Coco (based on a program from Creative<br /> Computing magazine:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161655557237641/<br /> <br /> 17) Luciano Scharf posted (including some advertising brochures) about<br /> the Brazilian Coco clone VC-50 by Varixx. This actually took the Coco 2<br /> beyond Tandy's including models with integrated dual floppy drives, full<br /> keyboards with numeric keypads, one model had a built in small monitor:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/lscharf/posts/pfbid02HtpoMp1uZi2vJ66y94hAp7AoSYxgNozeEtBcGxgN1idnby8YBXXbqmpu4ZswGBtol<br /> <br /> 18) Sonic Creeper Games, a Brazilian YouTube channel by a teenager,<br /> released part 1 of his history/evolution of game controllers... and the<br /> first one covered is the CP-400 ones, which is the most common Brazilian<br /> clone. Thanks to Jose Neto for pointing this video out on Facebook:<br /> https://youtu.be/1Yv4_yVf_xU?si=3WAKA0Dk1zWUL71v<br /> <br /> 19) As a SepTandy project, Wayne Campbell and I have been working on the<br /> NitrOS9/EOU version of the BASIC09 manual. Now, there is no way we will<br /> get the whole thing done by the end of September, but we are going to have<br /> a Pre-release hopefuly done by then that will cover chapters 1 through<br /> 9. This will correct some mistakes that were in the original (even 3rd<br /> edition) manual, and also cover all the changes and additions to the GFX<br /> and GFX2 graphics libraries, including sample programs for things like<br /> making program for Multi-Vue with pull down menus, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Jamie's Hack Shack posted a video of his upgrading his MC-10 with the<br /> composite video mod rom Ed Snider/Zippsterzone:<br /> https://youtu.be/W5J2541Huh4?si=z9R9OnBt49p3uODA<br /> <br /> 2) Spanish YouTube channel El Viejoven FX put up a video (in Spanish) about<br /> the Alice computers from France, including their history alongside the MC-10:<br /> https://youtu.be/2KrD3RT5I58?si=OboHAxVjE0ocvL2a<br /> <br /> 3) Spriteworx (Jim Mundy) who is making the upcoming T.H.E.M. game,<br /> released a video this morning of his development setup for making MC-10<br /> games. He has a neat software trick to keep track of where routines start<br /> when you RENUM a program (will work on a Coco as well):<br /> https://youtu.be/YcUABR1f-yo?si=8HHiRbWyjbD7IW4P<br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Ciaran has posted downloads for both Goop Rush and the brand new Lava<br /> Hero game, both by Paul Shoemaker, for the Dragon 64. (He notes it may<br /> not work properly on some Dragon 32's upgraded to 64K<br /> Goop Rush download:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11195<br /> Lava Hero download:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11194<br /> <br /> 2) Julian Brown is continuing work on his Dragon 32 Static RAM memory board,<br /> now on version 4 with more refined SRAM chip access signals:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3812318755694432/<br /> He also had an update on his Multi-Pak Interface project - his current<br /> version no longer prevents the Dragon it is hooked up to from starting. It<br /> is sporadically booting a cartridge now, so he is getting closer:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3808968392696135/<br /> <br /> 3) Simon Plumbe posted a link to his updated Mastertronic checklist of<br /> their Dragon 32 software (including the Vegas Jackpot game that the site<br /> already reviewed that we covered a week ago). This includes releases from<br /> Melbourne House (whihch Mastertronics bought) and Virgin games (which<br /> Mastertronics merged with later):<br /> https://mastertronic.co.uk/dragon-32-mastertronic-checklist/<br /> <br /> 4) Leslie Anderson posted a photo of a Dragon 64 homebrew computer designed<br /> by Dan Werner. It's a bit expensive, but it does have a redesigned keyboard<br /> that has the modern arrow key replacement layout (some details in the<br /> post text):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/6809assembly/posts/3467939723499385/<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie has released an updated version of his port of Akalabeth<br /> (originally by Richard Garriott fr the Apple II in 1979) to the MC-10. This<br /> new version has been broken into two programs using the CHAIN command in<br /> MCX BASIC (by Darren Atkinson), allowing the program to use 28K RAM from<br /> the MCX-32SD (and thus not requiring the older MCX-128 upgrade):<br /> https://youtu.be/BYSJSAZmNtE?si=gPrnc3piu6odM7Ey<br /> Internet Archive download &amp; description:<br /> https://archive.org/details/AKALABET<br /> <br /> 2) Tim &amp; AJ are back on Dungeons of Daggorath for part 4. Will AJ finally<br /> crack level 3?<br /> https://youtu.be/3yURTruWjyk?si=YY6lyVekU8ho9o6A<br /> <br /> 3) YouTube channel Jostive fivezer release a couple of long play videos<br /> of games on the Coco this past week. Of note is that he is playing them<br /> directly from the Color Computer Archive, using Ciaran's online XRoar:<br /> Monster Maze (a recent Game On Challenge) from Tandy:<br /> https://youtu.be/yJAjZNPaUqI?si=_1MxrWZqE3-hX94E<br /> Birds from Tom Mix:<br /> https://youtu.be/4Rn1JsKXn0Y?si=heKxhMQuu4K9LLuu<br /> <br /> 4) XperTek did another Coco 2 / amber monitor game, this time playing the<br /> Classic Spectral Associates game, Lunar-Rover Patrol (which actually looks<br /> pretty darned good on an amber monitor, I must say!):<br /> https://youtu.be/xnKusXOxl0I?si=rTvWSm--tsSpu3XJ<br /> <br /> 5) Go grab the two game launches this week from Paul Shoemaker and Nick<br /> Marentes!<br /> <br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

This always has a strong Coco/CP-400/etc. contingent, including multiple<br /> people who have been guests on our show.It is happening at 1670 Haroldo<br /> Soares Glavan road, Cacupé, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina.<br /> https://retrosc.org/<br /> <br /> VCF East has had a date change for next years show due to a scheduling<br /> conflict. It is now April 4-6, 2025 - same facility as this year. Info<br /> Age Science Museum, Wall, NJ.<br /> <br /> <br /> Coco 1/2/3 (and multi-platform)<br /> -------------------------------<br /> 1) lowlevel on the Coco Discord made his SepTandy project a DIY RF modulator<br /> replacement style composite board for the Coco 2 (Coco 2's with flay laying<br /> RF modulators), and shared it on pcbway:<br /> https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/CompyCoco2_d1da9863.html<br /> <br /> 2) The GrumpyOZRetro podcast (an Australian vintage computing/retro gaming<br /> podcoast) published the 2nd part (of 2) of their interview with Ian Mavric<br /> (maker of many Coco and TRS-80 hardware in Australia, as well as one of<br /> the main drivers behind Tandy Assembly). LANGUAGE WARNING:<br /> Part 1 from June 27 (main topic is the 2024 Canberra Vintage Computer Expo):<br /> https://open.spotify.com/episode/5TEQErQlcyjxdA015rgdi7<br /> Part 2 from September 1 (main topic is the remainder of the interview<br /> with Ian):<br /> https://open.spotify.com/episode/3e3j5TXxSYmmIQjlUuXpSk<br /> <br /> 3) CocoTown does his second SepTandy video - going further into using the<br /> language LUA along with MAME it's debugging facilities. This round he goes<br /> through building a performance meter for MAME:<br /> https://youtu.be/xBgKwqdwxDo?si=SAnGbssuX46D5Lxn<br /> <br /> 4) Bob Emery (La Coco Strangiato on Youtube) released a half hour video<br /> presentation of his Color FOG GUI for Coco 3 BASIC that he originally wrote<br /> 20 years ago (for HDB-DOS and RGB-DOS compatible hard drive systems) but<br /> recently updated to handle the CocoSDC (including with real floppy drives):<br /> https://youtu.be/fBr0dKrB7cU?si=aVi1hatZL93XKYMB<br /> <br /> 5) Ken of Canadian Retro Things let me know about a brand new YouTuber<br /> called &quot;Basement Bodge&quot; who just released his first video... and it's about<br /> hooking up a Coco 1 to a TV that doesn't have the old RF plug. I would<br /> tell you more, but I was traumatized watching the show open title sequence:<br /> https://youtu.be/2RUOBW45m1k?si=JIz1p1agp2jYfSC3<br /> <br /> 6) And Ken himself released his summary of VCF-MW 2024:<br /> https://youtu.be/TAD6KAFF6Xs?si=UAuhJxjIV15gE3pg<br /> <br /> 7) Retro-Spective on YouTube did a YouTube short of his cleaning up (and<br /> fixing the spacebar) on a Tandy Coco 2 he aquired. He says in the video<br /> that he could not find much on the web for working on a Coco 2 (not sure<br /> why, there are lots). He cleaned it up quite nicely, but thinks it isn't<br /> working. I am not sure if he knows about RF vs. composite.<br /> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/paAJQ-Nl5jQ<br /> <br /> 8) 73 outdoors w/Bob KK4DIV on YouTube posted a #SepTandy video to YouTube<br /> about a Coco 2 that he found at his local ham radio clubhouse. The machine<br /> looks like it started having some upgrades done to it, but were never<br /> finished:<br /> https://youtu.be/9e9npYgNKSk?si=4Kd-bsFecONbHFhs<br /> <br /> 9) Retro Gaming Nook also released a #SepTandy video - this one showing<br /> both a Triad+ 512k Memory upgrade from Cloud9 and the KeyFix3 upgrade from<br /> Rick of Computer Conect being installed in his Coco 3:<br /> https://youtu.be/LkZ25P1k-nE?si=YOn7j6QKecfUp0qM<br /> <br /> 10) The Vintage Geek channel on YouTube put up a quick video to celebrate<br /> SepTandy, including some of their Coco classroom set up that Ken and I<br /> got to try out when we were there last year:<br /> https://youtu.be/7hKlN0Ig7tY?si=-Pvg7lraB0a3oZgw<br /> <br /> 11) 8-Bit Retro Journal put up a video previewing what he will be covering<br /> during SepTandy this - including a Coco 2 video he mentions at about 3:40:<br /> https://youtu.be/fqJV8hTYa0E?si=Am66ZHmIG8IpXJC5<br /> <br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Spriteworx (who is the man behind the T.H.E.M. that was unboxed last<br /> week and also built the MC-10 joystick interface that comes with it - a<br /> left/right only stick with a fire button) to discuss making the joystick<br /> interface based on a magazine article originally by Greg Taylor. I believe<br /> this is the same one as used by Jim Gerrie on his joystick style games on<br /> the MC-10. It runs out of the Serial bit-banger port, and he adds a switch<br /> to the adaptor to switch which axis is active (he also has a sneak preview<br /> of the game T.H.E.M. at the end:<br /> https://youtu.be/QuTTqs77y5E?si=22pWMU76Qj9Zhyq7<br /> He then followed up this morning with an almost hour long video with PiKey-10<br /> (USB keyboard) from Brendan Donahe, composite video mod and MCX-32SD (from<br /> Ed Snider/Zippsterzone) upgrades and installation. And an official sneak<br /> peak of T.H.E.M.<br /> https://youtu.be/GOFHna8vDXw?si=ioM8kemFabkBLaa5<br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Julian Brown posted a photo in the Dragon group on Facebook... as he<br /> stated, he is almost ready to test; he just needs a second power supply. As<br /> shown in the photo, this is his main Rev 3 board (which adds 256K RAM<br /> support and makes the video out circuit swappable between PAL and NTSC in<br /> a Dragon 32 replacement motherboard; and his 4 slot MPI:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3805039889755652/<br /> Update this morning: After a scare that he had a dead part (turns out he<br /> misread the data sheet), he now has power:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3805946996331608/<br /> <br /> 2) David Mitchell posted on his blog some video of a graphics demo typed in<br /> from Dragon User magazine, January 1985, and shows both PMODE 3 (4 color)<br /> and PMODE 4 (2 color) versions:<br /> https://davysretrocorner.blogspot.com/2024/09/stitchet-type-in-from-dragon-user.html<br /> <br /> 3) Retro For All (a Spanish Youtube channel) put up a video showing some<br /> of their Dragon 32 themes for Hypermax and Retro Para Todos (emulator<br /> front ends, I think). They mention in the description a link to get the<br /> themes, although it mentions that a password is shown in the video to<br /> enable the download:<br /> https://youtu.be/UfrWTo3MVkA?si=I-5i6nYWuc-xTihd<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Chronologically Gaming covered more Coco and Dragon games this past<br /> week, including:<br /> Poseidon Adventure (it is good that the Dragon version of this still exists;<br /> the original Coco version by JARB Software is one that we don't have in<br /> the Color Computer Archive):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUXEjutH-F4&amp;t=50s<br /> Rail Runner (this one ran with really poor keyboard controls for Jeff; I<br /> don't remember it being that bad. I *think* that the game uses the BASIC<br /> ROM POLCAT routine, and I know if Color BASIC 1.2 it was changed and was<br /> less responsive, so I am thinking that is what happened to his gameplay?<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUXEjutH-F4&amp;t=619s<br /> The Dragon game Space Monopoly (which was Color Space Trader a year and<br /> a half before on the Coco):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAIUTsY2sE0&amp;t=303s<br /> <br /> 2) Lee Perkins posted a new update to his Cloud Kingdoms game port from<br /> the PC - it now supports item pick ups, bumper collisions, and being<br /> pushed. Not all collisions with objects are working, and some aren't<br /> reacting quite at the proper time, but good progress:<br /> https://youtu.be/Uiq_V9E1z1M?si=V60M2qb-Qxb5CTHF<br /> <br /> 3) For our Spanish speaking/reading people in the audience, the spanish<br /> versions of 2 games (School Maze and The Final Countdown) are now available<br /> for the Dragon in the World of Dragon forums:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11193<br /> <br /> 4) A new cross platform game written with the ugBASIC compiler is out,<br /> called Hangword. It has Coco 1/2, Coco 3 and Dragon versions available<br /> (amongst many others). You can download it for free (or pick your own<br /> price) from spotlessmind1975's itch.io page (he is the author of ugBASIC)<br /> (I have the Coco 1/2 version on my desktop):<br /> https://spotlessmind1975.itch.io/hangword<br /> <br /> 5) Simon Plumbe posted on the Dragon Facebook group that Mastertronic<br /> has their first Dragon game review for a game made by Mastertronic -<br /> Vegas Jackpot from August 14, 1984:<br /> https://mastertronic.co.uk/game-review-vegas-jackpot-mastertronic-dragon-32/<br /> <br /> 6) Darren Ottery is looking for some lost games for the MC-10 that were<br /> advertised in Australian Mico magazine (similar to what I have been doing<br /> on the Coco). He posted a photo of an ad for multiple game from Martin<br /> Wells Software - 6 that run in 4K, and 3 that required 20K - in the MC-10<br /> group on Facebook. Has anybody seen this games, or better yet still has<br /> copies of them?<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/8053683488091736/<br /> <br /> 7) And along the same line - Jim Gerrie is looking for another missing<br /> MC-19 game: Adventure in Bipland, a graphical adventure game, originally<br /> sold by The Dataman in Hamilton, Ontario, and he quotes the ad in the<br /> MC-10 group on Facebook:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/8052251591568259/<br /> <br /> 8) Attempts: A Gaming channel (by LRU), where he goes for &quot;official&quot; high<br /> scores, added a variety of games on a variety of platforms as he usually<br /> does. One was Dragon Data's Breakout. This is your standard paddle/ball<br /> breakout game, but with a twist - the bricks are slowly scrolling down<br /> the screen towards the player. And hitting a red brick doubles the speed<br /> of the ball, I believe:<br /> https://youtu.be/e6PQX9nEpCI?si=OD33r6SEYYl_YBwt<br /> <br /> 9) And Tim and AJ have released the 3rd ~2 hour episode of AJ playing<br /> Dungeons of Daggorath, the worlds most disguised speed typing tutor. Will<br /> she get past level 3 on this episode?<br /> https://youtu.be/u8chz3hT1OI?si=xhK_JuhByDFbOwLm<br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!

Info<br /> Age Science Museum, Wall, NJ.<br /> <br /> <br /> Coco 1/2/3 (and multi-platform)<br /> -------------------------------<br /> 1) Jamie Lee Cho has announced a new utility written in Python that helps<br /> translate the Coco's Microsoft BASIC's to OS-9's BASIC09, including most<br /> graphics statements. This should make converting them a lot easier. It's not<br /> perfect (and Jamie lists some limitations in the readme) but should save a<br /> lot of time translating. This is part of his ever expanding coco-tools suite:<br /> https://github.com/jamieleecho/coco-tools<br /> Readme:<br /> https://github.com/jamieleecho/coco-tools/blob/main/README.decb-to-b09.md<br /> <br /> 2) EJ Jacquay (maintainer and programmer for the current VCC emulator)<br /> mentioned in the #general-emulators channel that he has made a boot.rom<br /> for both VCC and MAME, that allows the boot track for NitrOS9 to be in a<br /> virtual ROM, which allows booting straight to the hard drive image with<br /> no floppy image attached. I am not sure if this has been released to the<br /> public yet (as of this past Monday)<br /> <br /> 3) CocoTown, as part of his SepTandy contributions, put up a video showing<br /> how to automate the MAME Coco debugger and how to use the LUA scripting<br /> capabilities that MAME itself can use:<br /> https://youtu.be/ySY8EN0sE6I?si=cJXF41LIDDoS1hlF<br /> <br /> 4) TRS-80 Retro Programing posted a quick 10 minute video of his experience<br /> in getting ChatGPI to generate Coco Extended BASIC code:<br /> https://youtu.be/kot0aiTGUmk?si=9Glchca8UstmXuZv<br /> <br /> 5) Ciaran has announced that XRoar version 1.6 has been released. This<br /> contains some bug fixes for 6309 emulation, Coco 3 emulation, more dialog<br /> boxes under Windows, more keyboard/joystick profiles, physical joysticks<br /> end up in menus, and support for both the Dragon Professional and the<br /> Tandy Deluxe Color Computer (both of which feature preliminary AY-3-891x<br /> sound chip support):<br /> Announcement:<br /> https://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&amp;t=11191<br /> Download:<br /> https://www.6809.org.uk/xroar/<br /> <br /> 6) More updates to ugBASIC (micro game BASIC), including some Coco or 6809<br /> specific ones:<br /> Main branch:<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/main<br /> Beta branch:<br /> https://ugbasic.iwashere.eu/changelog/beta<br /> <br /> 7) Erico Monteiro uploaded a DSK image to the Facebook Coco group that<br /> has a test pattern for the extra artifact colors, and some test images<br /> that he converted to the Coco (after running the loader, hit spacebar to<br /> see the other pictures):<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161597760297641/<br /> <br /> 8) Gregory Roscow showed a Coco 2 he found on ebay that was rebranded as<br /> a &quot;Game &amp; Education Machine&quot; from Automated Functions Inc. Besides the<br /> rebranding, it also has an internal speaker with an added volume knob on<br /> the back:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/posts/10161594900322641/<br /> <br /> 9) The Tandy Assembly Facebook page featured another Coco related spotlight<br /> for the upcoming show - Elizabeth Hayes showing her artistic skills on<br /> her repainted Coco 2. This is the focus of her exhibit this year titled<br /> &quot;Pretty In Pink&quot;:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/tandyassembly/posts/pfbid0YcBioDG6KjW9jvLDiMDr12udLoHhigTdrpbSGGLV4yr8eZ9TF2B6w61HtKUJ348Tl<br /> <br /> 10) As promised, David Mitchell has the first version of his SepTandy<br /> project available on his GitHub (a PLAY statement editor for making sound<br /> effects in Extended BASIC), and includes some screenshots:<br /> https://davysretrocorner.blogspot.com/2024/09/septtandy-2024-introducing-echo-co.html<br /> <br /> MC-10<br /> -----<br /> 1) Bruce Maret posted photos of the upgrades he did to his MC-10 this past<br /> week - composite video output and the PiKey-10 keyboard/joystick adaptor:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/731424100317748/posts/8011354878991264/<br /> <br /> <br /> Dragon 32/64<br /> ------------<br /> 1) Julian Brown just received his next Dragon reinvented motherboard -<br /> aside from the CPU, almost everything on it is using more modern chips and<br /> surface mounted, and it is an ATX style board. It includes up to 4 MB of<br /> RAM, a hardware serial port, 512K ROM, dual 3 channel sound generators,<br /> and the possibility of running a slightly overclocked 63C09E CPU at 3.56 MHz:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3798197950439846/<br /> He also showed his Multipak clone that he is working on:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3798025403790434/<br /> <br /> 2) John Whitworth (of DragonPlus Electronics) showed a small MSX 2 Sound<br /> Mixer board - from the sound mixing circuitry on the SuperSprite FM+<br /> board - squashed onto a 27x28 mm PCB:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/groups/dragon32/posts/3794902197436088/<br /> <br /> <br /> Game On news (all Coco related platforms):<br /> ==========================================<br /> 1) Jim Gerrie updates for the week:<br /> - Mad Monkeys is a new game that Jim himself is writing for the MC-10<br /> (ie not a port). This is the 3rd installment, where the player can now<br /> continue on after clearing a screen:<br /> https://youtu.be/FucJ9qSqTfg?si=m_142o6orw80SEgp<br /> - Bakudan Otoko originally by Shinichi Nakamoto &amp; Shigeki Fujiwara in<br /> 1980. This is the predecessor to Bomber Man, and was made by Hudson Soft<br /> as a tech demo for their BASIC compiler, and Jim attempted to recreate<br /> that original demo:<br /> https://youtu.be/3kaE8CE5-QQ?si=oS0gR6iO3VH7ezvs<br /> <br /> 2) Chronologically Gaming continues to cover game releases from October<br /> 1982. The Coco / Dragon ones that they covered this past week are:<br /> Lemans (Spectral Associates):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JohQ9Zosu-k&amp;t=38s<br /> Madness and the Minotaur on the Dragon 32 (with completely different<br /> artwork than the original Coco version):<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqJ90LyxpXI&amp;t=33s<br /> Mansion Adventure 1 for the Dragon 32:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqJ90LyxpXI&amp;t=754s<br /> <br /> 3) Tim and AJ return with another 2&amp;1/2 hours of playing Dungeons of<br /> Daggorath - one of the marque Coco games of all time - good enough that<br /> it spawned a PC port. How far does AJ get by the end of this episode?<br /> https://youtu.be/-M-k8ocCjs4?si=EDzF5AorP0-n8cnv<br /> <br /> 4) As part of SepTandy, YaggieBoat on YouTube put up a just about 2 minute<br /> video of computer vs computer gameplay of Tandy's Castle Guard on a Coco 2:<br /> https://youtu.be/Awy7TwHPZWE?si=maApPd7H42cdB4Cn<br /> <br /> 5) TJ Ferreira put up a video showing the unboxing of a brand new MC-10<br /> game - with full color packaging and everything, and a Atari joystick<br /> adaptor that plugs into the serial I/O port (it only allows one axis - X<br /> or Y - at once along with a joystick button). It is called T.H.E.M. (from<br /> Spriteworx), and requires the MCX-32SD (the game comes on an SD Card) &amp;<br /> the serial joystick interface. TJ will be doing a gameplay video later. I<br /> don't think this is on sale yet; I didn't see it on the itch.io page.<br /> https://youtu.be/aztiCjKobO8?si=eEZy_WtfDh1Wg-Wk<br /> <br /> 6) The Collector's Quest podcast latest episode #179 &quot;So You Want to Collect<br /> Halloween Games #4&quot; and covers all kinds of games (not just computer)<br /> has a rather familiar one from the Coco and Dragon that they talk about:<br /> https://youtu.be/If1mVAiKQ7U?si=m6U1OKbZN_IKr3k-&amp;t=2715<br /> <br /> 7) Retronaut on YouTube goes through the first issue of UK magazine Computer<br /> &amp; Video Games from November 1981. Included in the news section in this<br /> issue is an article on Dino Wars for the TRS-80 Color Computer Computer:<br /> https://youtu.be/_ajqE1bYA-I?si=KoCUkliIZnHL80y6&amp;t=1580<br /> <br /> <br /> ==============================================================================<br /> <br /> Speak your mind!
