 |  Moldi's Treasure 1/10
 That's what we love about big meetings with several sceners: you can only gain more and more, in fun, knowledge, social skills...and treasures!
As you probably have read in the Busodore Party's Report, this time the chest keeper was Moldi. Going along with a very bright idea, he came in Mohács with an unique gem: a pendrive with his own Plus/4 collection on! Easy life in 2011, being able to move with you more than 400 disks into your palm.
In the later days, the archive has been under investigation for several days. And, in the very end, from that holy pendrive, we've extracted more than 400 previously unseen programs! Yes, no need to rub your eyes, we've written "400 unseen programs"!
 Ok, let's clarify: what do we mean with unseen programs? Well...everything!
Into our toiled selection, there are ancestral demos, ridiculous FLI pic's attempts, BASIC written disk tools, level edited games, complete versions of previously incomplete stuff, obscure educational programs, great games which have been badly spreaded, missing b-sides, weird packers, famous users'games cracks...
With all these fantastic programs, our database will get very close to completeness once they'll get all in. They are a very big amount to be added in two or three batches. Hence, our view is this one: we will complete the entry in approx. ten batches, whereas one average batch contains about 40-45 of them. We will try to keep the batches balanced in genres and quality of the entries: several utilities, some demos, some games educationals and mags, with a couple of mainly remarkable programs over all.
So, let's start, this is the first bunch being sent out. The bigger surprise of this first date is with no doubt Spy Collection, the rare game collection in which Bag stored all the three Spy Vs Spy conversions from C64, with their music, cute intros, IRQ loader for 1541 and 1551 disk drives. A great one! We now have 6 entries of the Nyuszika Tanit educational games, and we also have found a 100% working version of Drive megademo, and the very rare b-side of Digi-mania. Blockout and Digiripper V1.0 have been fixed with the original disk versions.
This is the complete list for the 1st batch, enjoy all of them and wait for our second spitout:
Digi-mania (fix), Drive (fix), Nyuszika Tanít 2, Nyuszika Tanít 3, Nyuszika Tanít 4, Nyuszika Tanít 5, Nyuszika Tanít 6, Typing Teacher, Battle Axe (1541), Blockout (fix), POD (trainer), Powerball 2, Powerball 3, Rockman 4, Rockman 5, Rockman 6, Rockman 7, Rockman 8, Rockman 9, Rockman 10, Spy Collection, Tomb of Tarrabash (trainer), Tutti Frutti Games, Calendari (Editoriale Video), Compatible Turbo Tape, Digiripper V1.0 (fix), Lightpen Demo, Lightpen-drawing V3.0, Loncsi Turbo, Monitor V3.0, Multi Botticelli (version), Moldi's Set, Naptarkeszito, Plus/4 Disk Protector V1.0, Rajztábla 3 (crack), Szuper Katalogus V3.2, Time Killer V1.0, Time-printer 2.5, Tool Basic 7.0, Users Adress, W-man Packer, Wordpro +4 (version), Zak Wizzard V1.2, Digital Parts.

Well, not much feedback on this news item... Maybe it's cause very few people care about these oldies (but I'm hoping it's because my lame forum code broke the commenting on news items...) Anyway...
First, thanks again for Moldi for preserving this, you're awesome. Second, big respects to Luca for putting this up - I know what effort goes into it. Definitely looking forward to the rest.

I do care for one...! It's just that I have had little meaningful to say. Except maybe that the lightpen software seems to be for the user port version (the one that is polling $FD0D and not $FF08). By the way, the lightpen demo on Lavina's GOTU site seems to be made for the RS-232 variant so will not work with the lightpen on the schematics (since that one is using the joy port, much like the Trojan lightpen or the one that I had) whereas the drawing utility itself IS working. This clears much of the misunderstandings in the old mail list archives, too.
Actually I was also wondering when the next batch would arrive?

Luca: does this lightpen you're talking about have a joy or a user port connection?

Well, just to make a quick feedback:
SpyVSSpy was a surprise for me, it is really nicely done conversion, if I remember well, I had SpyVSSpy3in the past, but had no music. This one is a really nice stuff! Thanks pals!
On the rest of the package: the Nyuszi oktat (or what) is less interetsing for the foreigners, but the Nyuszi6 is surprisingly nice educational program, wth detailed GFX, and nice easy GUI, mouse cursor emulation. So i think even today (25 yeras later) it can be still used to develop the kids

Funny you should mention that one, this weekend I sat down with Natalie (my daughter) and we read through all 3 stories of Nyuszika Tanit 6. It was fun, I think she enjoyed it Sure, it was through an emulator, but still. The first thing she tried was the mouse, but I explained that the Plussy didn't really have one.

Thanks, Luca. Are you sure this connects to the expansion port? I would rather say it connects to the user (RS-232) port instead
In this case the version you have just uploaded should theoretically be fine... You could also try the Lightpen Demo that is downloadable from the GOTU site, since that one is also made for the user port variant (even though the lightpen itself is not).
EDIT: of the joystick port lightpens there are at least two known variants, one is polling the JOY1 fire button (Trojan) and another one that polls the JOY2 fire button (GOTU's). Perhaps something similar is happening here...

As far as I can remember the softwares presented on our site work with the schematics. I still have the original home-made lightpen that we used to draw the scematics... Maybe I'm wrong and only one of the files worked, I really cannot recall exactly, but one of them surely worked, and I think that the other one, too.
Yes, it's for the joy port.

OMG it's my fault  The stuff is in since a week or more, but the springtime yakes me to gigs theaters pubs cinemas a discos all the time...pushing me to take long naps in the afternoons! And when I don't sleep, I'm a bit lost in Plus4IDE!
Soon, promised! Hours!
Edit: look, I'm at home now at 5am coming form the Korova Disco Dancing behind Santa Croce's Basilica! How can I find spare time? :D

Korova is a Clockwork Orange's inspired disco bar in the very centre of Firenze, with a veeeeery little and private dance area located underneath.
