iMPdraw v2.0

[Ast]

Hello,


IMPdraw is full compatible with the original Advanced Ocp Art Studio .pal/.scr format. Others exotics formats aren't supported.


You could easily convert your palette following this link :
http://impdraw.wikidot.com/les-fichiers-palette-ink-kit


About the keyboard, it's True... IMPdraw uses azerty ! So you will have to replace
a by q, z by w, w by z and to finish q by a. The mapping uses the position of thé key, not the value (a=&41).


Have a good fun !

You can now download the lastest iMPdraw_210802.


What's news since iMPdraw_210604 ?

Hi Cpc Friends,

Latest iMPdraw version now supports UniDOS. 
Same for iMPtile who uses the same I/O from iMPdraw.

Note that Albidos  is now cancelled !

A new package will come soon.

Good Evening!
Well, I aware that I late to the party.
Netherless, it seems, I need help.

I interested to install ImpDraw on my CPC6128.
Additionally, I own a RSF3 and a Gotek.

What confuses me, is the description vs. the rom files
on the dsk file.

Please, may somebody point out, witch Rom to install
on witch slot?
I not a total newbie, but please have patience.
It could be a little more detailed than just keywords.

Hello Steven...
All informations can be found on the wiki dot web site : http://impdraw.wikidot.com/

If you have more questions, i stay tuned.

[St-BeidE(DE/GB)]

... If you have more questions, i stay tuned.

 well, I have no further questions. 
In fact, I have still the same questions.

Je suis désolé, je ne parle pas français. Je suis une baguette.
Even translating the website did not give me a clue,
what rom A, H and Ext means. The name differs from the ones on disk/dsk.

In the iMPdraw wiki it is using these to identify the roms and which rom slot/position for installation:

'i' can be put in rom slot 1-7.
'A' must be put in rom slot 23.
'H' must be put in rom slot 24.
'EXT' must be put in rom slot 25.

If using Winape, enable 32 rom slots.

Does this help?

[Ast]

Hey thanks @arnoldemu !
That's correct !

You want to know what is rom I(mpdraw) A(nimation) H(elp) Ext(ended) ?

[St-BeidE(DE/GB)]

I will have a look today.(its after midnight)
Your disk content looks different from mine.
Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I could not figure
out by myself. 
Anyway,  thank you very much for the additional
help. I'll dig into it.

I was quiet confused about the names of the ROMs...
Now I see, what you mean. Well, giving it a try now.
Hope I can remember how to set ROM combinations
with my RSF3. I just have not enough time for my hobby.
If you don use it... you loose it.

[St-BeidE(DE/GB)]

So I used
I2310E      on ROM #4
H1510        on ROM #23
A1610        on ROM #24
EXT2310E  on ROM #25

And the result is... rebooting, if I type |i [ENTER]

I guess, I need some more information, if I try to bring it to work
on a RSF3 ?
Maybe some sort of M4 Emulation? Or maybe that M4ASIC.ROM ?

Or is there anything else, I am to blind to see?

The A and H ROMS are the wrong way round as per @arnoldemu post.

Please download the latest release (IMPdraw 2907) and re-install it as you did.

JEEEHAAA !

Thank you very much for your help, and your patience !
It looks like I had success  . 

Next days, I hopefully have time enough,  to play around
with ImpDraw. I've already seen some english informations on the website.

Is there some sample pictures out there ?

Steven

(Who is really happy, it works )

A suggestion, show the date of the version on your web page, so people can know if they already have the latest version.

The number for Impdraw does suggest the 29th July, but the history of the web page shows it was added on January 2025, and the date of the ROM in the ZIP file doesn't help either (1st January 2004).
