I've finished up the initial release of BASIC Wrangler. You can find it here. It's very much super-alpha quality, and it probably only works with the Battle System Test, but it's a start.
OK, so I've been putting more work into getting emulators installed on my computer again, and I decided to take a quick little dip into OS-9 for the Tandy Color Computer 3. Or to be more precise, NitrOS-9 . There are some pre-made VHD files out there, but those are years old, and the installation files from Robert Gault are even older. (UPDATE: There are pre-built images with lots of extra stuff included available from NitrOS-9 Ease of Use .) So, I played around with the NitrOS-9 build files, and compiled some installation disks based on the latest sources. I've put a video guide on how to set up your own VHD up on my YouTube page available here . The actual installation disks, with written instructions and a source code patch are up on my Dropbox here .
I've put the source code for the first release of the Battle Test up on GitHub . You'll find all the tape and disk images in a 7z file under the releases tab. It's a minimal implementation of the first battle from Final Fantasy VII, done as a scrolling set of text menus. It's not much of a game, but you can play it on almost any computer you can think of, and it's all written in glorious BASIC code.
It's been a while since my last post, but I've finally come up with an easy way to set up RetroPie. RetroPie is nice, but it's got a lot of text configuration files to wade through. The process I lay out here makes it far easier to get a working RetroPie install set up with lots of pre-configured niceties.
