| | SVS-Calc Goes To 1.5 | |
| | Posted by Luca on 2010-01-18 |
 ...And in the beginning of year 2010, the best 8bit spreadsheet tool ever gets higher!
Yes, the author, SVS/FIRE, decided to improve his best piece of code, unleashing the serious nature of Plus/4, and now we have SVS-Calc V1.5!
Apart of tons of needed bugfixes, there are several new features to discover:
- complete scientific notation is now allowed in any cell with auto-reduced notation;
- grid can be reduced in order to have full view of your sheet;
- formulas can now use external values stored on disk;
- paste special;
- emulators' synchronized digital clock with alarm;
- and much more! (...even an Easter egg!)
Look at the Youtube Ad to get a picture of what you can expext from it. |

| | First Release Of 2010! | |
| | Posted by Csabo on 2010-01-05 |
 Litwr is here to surprise all of you with a little demonstration of the graphics capabilities of the Plus/4:Happy New Year!
I have to humbly present my first and probably the last demo: HN2010YC. The presented dot drawing subroutine is about 5-6 times faster than BASIC PAINT and maybe several hundreds times faster than BASIC DRAW for single dots. Excuse me absence of sound and other effects. This demo is still raw but if I begin to polish it then it would be probably never released. |

| | New VICE Version Released | |
| | Posted by Csabo on 2009-12-29 |
We're a few days behind announcing the new version of VICE, the multi-platform, multi-computer emulator. This version finally brings some improvements to the Plus/4 emulation:
- Added Digibooster SID Cart add-on emulation.
- Added SID Cart joystick port emulation.
- Fixed bug in tape recording.
- Improved graphics handling.
That last line is the most promising. After running some quick tests, indeed there are some noticeable improvements. Demoparts that contain FLI effects seem more stable, and Sinx+Siny is partially working. Unfortunately even though those particular pieces of software look better, they are still not properly emulated. For our scene, this leaves VICE behind Plus4Emu and YAPE. Still, we send our thanks to the VICE team and hope for better Plus/4 emulation in the future!

| | A Few Hungarian Programs | |
| | Posted by Csabo on 2009-12-21 |
 We have updates for you about 3 Hungarian programs for the Commodore 16. Lacus recently got his hands on two tapes (via Vatera.hu, a Hungarian auction site) and he's sharing his new treasures with us. First we now have Betüpóker, a previously missing game. Second, we now have an alternate cassette cover for Karakter-szerkesztő. Finally, RoePipi found a game called Kisvasút, which was a type-in, but the source is currently not known. Check them out! |

| | New Picture Show From MMS | |
| | Posted by Csabo on 2009-12-16 |
 MMS recently released a new Iron Maiden themed picture show: Iron Maiden. (Sorry for the delay in announcing this release!) Check out two disk-sides worth of FLI, HFLI and IHFLI pictures. The author sends special thanks to István Varga for his fantastic converter program. He also recommends using the fastest emulation mode (if you're viewing it on an emulator), since each picture is 170 blocks. Enjoy! |
