Not quite, but getting there. Still researching this bug...
Title: I wonder
Post by: AMSDOS on 08:57, 15 September 10
I'm wondering if the dates and bearings of the posts have anything to do with it? He's how they show in my time zone for example:

15 September 2010, 08:09:41
04 September 2010, 08:02:04
21 August 2010, 08:01:16
16 August 2010, 08:03:04

The top one is obviously today at 8 in the morning my time, (currently it's almost 6pm), though they are simular in a way, appearing around simular times.
Title: Re:

My guess is, it's some subsystem somehow hitting the Post button or something. And similar times would point towards it - some routine procedure or something. But going into huge logs would be very time consuming... so I'm still discussing it in the SMF fora..

YES!!! They want to do spectrum ports of every possible game, so the CPC will never be able to use it's full potential! Must must do something against it!

What's about a Spectrum burning day?  ;)   (After we've burnt all c64 *hehehe*)

when you have played on a spectrum and c64, and then you see the cpc. this is exactly what happens.. you are speechless!

ooopsss  :-[ i am absolutely sorry
But if you consider doing the clipping during the routine it can be faster than doing it before , especially if you are working with character units.
Title: Whenever he got that stuff...
Post by: TFM on 20:07, 17 September 10
... the neighbours become disapponted! The air was filled with 3 channel AY sounds, amplified heavily. And the already knew if they complain, these guys will play thundercats in the early morning - continuing till sunset! And then 18 hours Trantor, still using that huge amplifying system. And at the neighbours house the bricks were jumping out of the wall - and by accident have been fallen on people which prefer sid sounds.... Those were the 80ies, they never come back...

Sir ! yes Sir ! We need this weirdness to avoid madness or illness  ???
Last night, we jumped on the code montain.There were a lot of awfull bugs and we exterminated all of them , i personnally eviscerated the last one using teeth !

I think it's in the spaghetti. Either that or the ants overdid it again.

You are on the right track, but it's more sophisticated. It needs a special kind of Spaghetti, a kind of root beer, a kind of potatoes (Germans eat potatoes all over the world, therefore we look like they do ;) and then the ants must do it at midnight... but never at a Friday! (Cause nobody is at home then).

Only one place in world is still save... we have to do the ..... Voyage to Code Mountain! Fano knows the way! He shall drive the bus... The blue bus in calling us (The Doors, not Windows).

I am also a byte warrior. I take my trusty sword and slice programs down to size, impaling bugs as I see them. Sometimes, I let them fester and think they are safe, then I creep up behind them, tap them on the shoulder and cut their heads off. Lots of bits then spill out, and I mop them up and use them for something useful.

Talking of ants, I like to get out the hex editor and poke some values in now and then.
Sometimes i can make a face, or sometimes I like to go freestyle and get some of them 720's in there (&d0 &02 for you little endian byte freaks)

I load a Spanish tape game and chill out to the multicoloured stripes in the border.
J.D. and coke anyone?

I've recently acquired one of those also, from a car boot for £2.50. Those games are great classics, but I think you're being a touch hard on the CPC version.

Impressive ! Arnoldemu reaches the next level !  :laugh:
No coke for me but J.D with ice and cubar cigar plz

That's the dreaded BRAINBUG!!! I like the simple 233's more, so different in it's execution...

There is a simple beauty in mixing a letter of the alphabet with a digit and then repeating it accross a few K.
I can relate to that

Yes! The ants are generating it in their circles, they can move pretty quick. If threy reach light-speed...

In the old times the space bugs created galaxies that way, they still can't stop rotating...


If running out of ants poke some 233 in the RAM... it will - well, at least bring bugs ;-)

is there a poke i can use to make bugs light up like fireflys so that they are easier to spot?
Debugging with my bug spray and having to search out the critters takes time.

Try holding a lit match or cigarette lighter in front of the spray, that usually lights them up.

And regarding the Ant video above: I wouldn't worry too much, I think they are just playing a Vortex game :D

You can try poke 44001,233 for example... but this works only when a lot of expansion ROMs are connected... Hmm. there must be better addresses for the pure CPC.

Use the ramdon function ;-)
