SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Coding any 8bit computer(ZX Speccy, C64 ,CPC 464) and 16bit (Amiga and ST or STE)

Amiga? There is Amiga Amos tutorials on youtube(there is some thought!), Blitzbasic 2(little bit complex mean harder!), Devpac or Asmone.

ST or STE?  STOS(I dont like it because when you scroll the code up and rest of it gone lol and so you have type list to get the code back!) and GFA Basic(most ATARI Fans like them!) and GFA Asm or Devpac.

So you have guys code any Retro Computer and does it seem more fun than PC Programming

I've got my Amstrad CPC 6128 sat right next to me on the desk (See attachment), one does like a jiggle in Z80, I'm not an expert really, but think of an idea, see what firmware will help me and give it all a good jostle! so with that, I have the Maxam ROM installed on one of Dukes M4 boards, which acts as a rom box, it has a SD card slot you can use as storage (With the usual consoles commands to navigate) and it also connects my Amstrad to my PC and the internet via wifi... Pretty cool little piece of jiggery pokery mind!

I love the little fella!

EDIT: And oh yes, a mastersystem controller works a charm too, like, I have an Amsoft JY2 pile of poop somewhere in a box, bloody rubbish, only bought it for nostalgic reasons.

Loving the CPC6128 Been away for a while. Making progress Coding the Computers themselve's. Have been looking at the Amstrad CPC 464 for Emulation. Glad there's other people like me!

Just bought an Amiga mini which works much better than I thought. Lovely smooth 50hz scrolling. Plan on having a play with AMOS Pro as I spent yonks writing apps and games with it.

Oo, sexy does the floppy drive still work? and how much do you want for it?

Quote from: Qube on March 17, 2023, 17:28:52does the floppy drive still work?

Certain does (See pic)... Though, I have had to replace the belt in the drive and give it a little service, you can buy the kits on eBay, and they cost pennies really!

She's not for sale me auld fruit, lol, I couldnt part with her for all the money in the world!

Oh, and another neat trick the M4 board does is that you can also put a "autoexec.bas" file in the root of the sd card, with instructions in (As you would on windows with autoexec.bat), and the M4 will run the file on boot... Pretty handy mind!

I am developing a small RPG for the Playstation2 with Yabasic using a FreeMcbooted ISO of the PBPX-95204 demo disk.

I'm learning GBasic for the famiclone platform. Have only made a small game with it so far. I am also trying to learn to using CC65.

Using BasiEgaXorx, I made two games for the Sega Genesis last year, but I haven't released them yet.

If you count DOS, I have made a few interesting programs recently.

This game Space Tanks for the Atari VCS is one of my greatest game creations. I never released the full version, but plan to eventually. https://forums.atariage.com/topic/215161-space-tanks-a-two-player-adventure/


There's more stuff, but it's hard to say everything when I am pretty much only into retro computing. The newest OS in my home is XP.

is that an Ibasic or Creative Basic TAG? Baggey

I'm sorry I do not understand the question. What is a TAG.

I do not own IBasic or Creative Basic. Only tried the demos. I do have Emergence Basic and Ionic Wind Basic.

I have been looking for a non demo copy of IBasic for years, but am afraid I will never see it.

Dabbled with the C64 for abit, may need to look around for a ZXspeccy sometime and try my luck.
