BasinC 1.7a

3 Comments

 

This release is an untested alpha release (ok, actually, every basin release might be marked as Alpha).

Not worth for 1.7 glory, you may see some icons missing and some functionalities reduced because I planned to make them better, yet failed to complete all the work. Basinc demands more time that I don’t have.

The project is not abandoned. V1.7 will hit the sinclair basic scene someday in the future 😀

btw. I can accept fancier toolbar icons. Comment or email me if you are interested.

Yours truly,
Arda

SnapToTap 2.4 update

2 Comments

Snaptotap is *the* converter for Zx Spectrum snapshot formats for modern day user.

Snap to tap converts your zx spectrum memory images into standard code blocks where you can then load from *any* source and resume your zx spectrum program from where you left.

As they are ready to run, compressed and auto-decompressing memory images, you can transfer code blocks to/from +3 disk images, sdcards, over serial network connections, tapes, microdrives or any other media.

The only downside is this method only works for 48k images for now.

SnapToTap Version 2.4 Windows Binary Portable release (no installation required)
Download (220kb zip file)

Here is a tutorial converting a SNA snapshot into +3 disk image:

CSV to MediaWiki as different pages utility

Recently we got into a translating gaming terms into Turkish. As I was setting up a wiki, one of my collegues prepared a wordlist on a spreadsheet. When it was time to import them into the wiki, I realized there is no free alternatives around, so I made one myself.

This program is completely freeware, yet simple.

It takes your csv file, and your wiki page template, and puts them together with a simple replace operation into an mediaWiki compatible XML import file.

Happy wikiing 😀

Vefa Lök’s “Osmanlıca” and it’s Crack

This article is about cracking a Turkish amiga utility from 1992. it’s only available in Turkish, sorry. You can dowload cracked program by clicking the screenshot below:

osman_1

it’s a educational program which tries to teach old ottoman writing using an amiga. But it seems it’s not doing what it’s intended to do, as there are incorrect representation of old ottoman text.

Anyway, it’s cracked and released for archival reasons.

Sorry, this article is only available in Turkish.

Sadece çemberin içindekilerin haberdar olduğu bir bilgisayar Jupiter Ace. Yaratıcıları Richard Altwasser ve Steve Vickers. Altwasser, Zx Spectrum, Zx81, zx spectrum +3 ve birkaç amstrad makinesinin de tasarımını yapmış biri. Vickers ise zx80/81 rom’unu yazan ekipten. Bunlar zx81’in çılgın satışlarından etkileniyorlar. “Yahu bu makineyi biz yaptık, sinclair ekmeğini yiyor biz maaşa talim ediyoruz.” mantığından yola çıkarak Jupiter Ace’i tasarlıyorlar.

İşte Jupiter Ace’in hikayesi böyle başlıyor, tarih 80’lerin ilk yarısı.
