Dragon 32 emulation via AdvMESS

@John_RM_70 I didn't have the DDOS file present anyway. But for some reason it's now recognising the CAS files, and CLOADM works without having to twat around in the menus.
Sadly I'm still having no luck getting it to recognise snapshots, which is a shame as it'd be nice to dodge all that loading.
-
Have you tried loading snapshots from the File Manager ?
You can speed-up loading by using a turbo key, just assign a key to turbo and hold it down. Although, I think "Turbo" is a bit of a oxymoron since the Pi is already pretty close to running flat out while it runs the Mess emulator.
By the way, did you know you can load wav files instead of cassette images ? These seem a lot more reliable than .cas files. -
@John_RM_70 Yes, I've tried using the file manager, you can select them but it just doesn't register them as being there.
I'm assuming that F10 is already functioning as a max-speed Turbo button. It gets me about 170%.
Will see if I can track down any WAV files, though. Got a few CAS files that won't work (eg Mr Dig, Draconian), and I don't know if it's them or if the emulator just doesn't support them.
-
@SpudsMcToole Ooh, early success - Draconian worked beautifully as a WAV. Now to see if I can find some other ones.
-
Yeah, wav is looking far more reliable.
Downside. Just over 200 wavs = about 880Mb of space. Compared to 500+ .cas files = 12mb. -
@John_RM_70 Hey, I've got plenty space :D
(But I only need to find a handful of WAV games anyway, mainly Mr Dig.)
-
@SpudsMcToole If you can't find them let me know, I have them all - obviously we would have to keep it to PM.
Here is something you might find useful, it's all the Dragon 32 artwork scans of tape inlays.

It's just jpg scans, and they're not named in any particular way. But they look good in ES, and it's better than nothing.
That is a big file, mind. 338Mb. -
@John_RM_70 I've got most of the tape inlays already, but cheers, will see if any of the ones I'm missing are in there.
How do I PM you? I looked on your profile page but don't see an option.

Do you know what ? I honestly don't know, lol.
Mods - Can we PM ?
Or, is it ok to link to a Dragon 32 wav file ? -

No.

And now you know why PMs are disabled. If it's a public domain/free file, then link to it, otherwise the forum rules forbid it.

Dang!
-
@SpudsMcToole Check your email, I have linked to all the Microdeal wavs, hopefully Mr Dig works ok.

any can share the artworks, please? thanks
