z88dk forums

It looks like Nightly.z88dk.org needs a little help, its not responding. Looks like its a return route problem, connections don't fail instantly.

I shall update my build set and give it another try thanks :) And yes having wasted a few hours yesterday re-doing the repair on the Jack socket on the +3. Moving a USB stick is a lot EASIER! Line length makes sense, I unintentionally broke into the disk program. It gets a little upset if you don't ...

Just used this feature with a gotek and usb stick. REALLY NICE! Thank you.

One little snag, I tried to merge the DISK file to peek at the Basic, the machine crashed. Be nice to see what was in the file to make it easier to make custom Basic loader files. (if possible?)

Thanks again,

Owen

I suspected it was the reply failing to reach me, that ominous no reply behaviour.

Thank you

I am trying to get to the nightly build from the forum links that point to: nightly.z88dk.org/

Looks like the connection to the site is timing out. Is there a problem with the host server?

Cheer Stefano, that was quick!

Was it the wherey.asm file? If so how should I be rebuilding the library in future to test fixes?

Hi, I found this issue a while ago, only just found the time to form the bug into something easily readable! It seems that conio wherey() is returning the value of x, not y! wherex() is correct. I might have found the issue in the wherey.asm file, but my attempts to rebuild z88dk with the change did...

Very cool... Only a quick look but if its what I think then the sample code there could be very useful!

Thanks for sharing

Spot on, from the initial test my sector scanning code now passes the point it failed at! Excellent work, thanks Stefano

I forgot about this post in the manic Christmas and job change!!

Cheers Stefano, I haven't actually progressed to the point of loading out a known file and seeing what would happen (using if1_read_record). I will update Z88DK and give it another run see what happens.

Hi, Think I found a bug? When reading sectors on the microdrive, one after another (scanning the tape) after ~14 sectors the program crashes "4 OUT OF MEMORY, 10:3". I guess scanning the sectors in this way is the only way to get an index of the tape contents? And the expected behavior sho...

Thanks, I seem to have stumbled through it somehow... Using ASM to label and control the binary import at compile time. The editor seems to enforce the limit of 127 characters. I put 2 bin files in the ASM lump and that seemed to drop them somewhere back to back, so rolling past 127 prints extended ...

Hi I am a bit of a n00bie but, I have been scratching about for the last few days trying to work this out. I don't seem to be having much luck with finding a good guide, or complete example to work from. I am looking to add the extended ASCII fonts to the 80 column font set, the characters after 127...

With love from Team Plato

Just luck the nasty little hack job worked out in the end. I will sort out some housekeeping on the code and with help from Thom make another push of the clean code.

Hi, The BCHAN-OUT code seems to fit what I am seeing in testing. Hitting BREAK, while the RS232 port is in receive mode seems to halt the program. Guessing this is like the BREAK key being armed like a general eject button to escape. Is there a means to disable the BREAK function in Z88DK so it can'...
