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 .
The ZX81 and ZX Spectrum were both ridiculously popular computers back in the 1980s. Especially in Europe. However, the variant of BASIC they used was... quirky, to say the least. It's extremely difficult and time consuming to port programs to Sinclair BASIC. In this post, I'll describe how to do it. Also, this video is mostly about this process, so it might be worth watching.
As the title says, I'm back. I'm done with the really annoying stuff with my mother's estate, and so I now have some free time to get back to work on this stuff. The first thing I've got is a video about installing the Apple IIGS System Software. But it's not just that. I've also compiled some useful stuff you can install afterwards to add functionality and fix bugs, and I also made a tutorial about converting images from modern computers to use as a desktop background on the IIGS. That was originally going to be a separate video, but it wasn't that long, so I tacked it on the end of the install tutorial. I've got more of these tutorials planned, but they take a surprisingly long amount of time to make, so don't expect another one for a while... I'm basically working on Valve Time here.
