One should also note that Eric Chahi went on to create Another World, so for all we know there's a whole vector engine behind the creation of this title screen...

("you mean a basic program calling DRAW and FILL, right?" "...shut up" )

Wow good catch, I guess that early loading screen is the beginnings of his vector crusade, interesting from that perspective.

Programming / Re: Expanding Elite

That's excellent progress.
Shame about the bug... those sort of bugs are a pain to solve.

Just wondering, what dev environment are you using?
I really like the look of the assembly window.

Thanks for the information, the partial decoding interferes with quite some other expansions sadly. Not a problem as long as AMSTEAM is used alone though.

It uses the address for Amstrad serial port interface and other third-party serial ports, since it's a serial port itself.

Anyway, the decoding is done so the four Amsteam peripherals can work together. If you have the four of them it's unlikely you'll have free slots for more

If there is a particular peripheral you want to share the bus with the SPI card, you can give me details and maybe I can add more lines for decoding .

By the way, if you need UARTS the Wifi module has a connector for two UARTS accesible from the CPC by AT commands. One of the UARTS support hardware flow control and the other is software only.

These pins can also be configured for GPIO if UARTS are not used

@Prodatron  I wish I were as excellent and productive as you. What is your secret? Legit question! I want to improve myself.

Btw as you are one of my CPC gods and probably one of the best Z80 coders (you are always the most crazy optimization guy), I wish you will come back with some CPC/Z80 stuff Hope to see you again in autumn in France at Eliot. Btw, I wish to talk to you about different things anyway (so not going too offtopic here), missed you at the Revision Demoparty for several years, so I am looking forward!

A faithful KCc emulator would be a real gem. There is none yet sadly.

Thinly veiled promotion and weirdly of topic in the original thread as it did not include any arguments or pointers whatsoever.. Feel free to discuss it here in its own thread.

Actually both applications are data management systems. The third one to be of interest is the well know Multiplan (even a look at dBase II 2.5.1 is of interest).

Promotion? Yes, I got paid $1000 for posting the link.

Nice to see that SymbOS eventually start to have more serious software.

Yeah, something we have yet to see from other "operating systems" for the CPC.

Which one?
