Lone News Delayed
Posted by Csabo on 2002-08-30
We have just received word from SVS/Fire, team mate of Luca/Fire about the great diskmag Lone News. It seems that due to unforeseen reasons, Luca won't be able to release the new issue of the magazine anytime soon, but he wanted everyone to know that Lone News is not dead! From the crew here at Plus4World: good luck, Luca, and we are looking forward for that new release whenever it will arrive!

Minus4 to get a major overhaul
Posted by MIK on 2002-08-28
Just caught this news over at plus4.com and it sounds like Mike is busy working on an all new cycle based Plus4 emulator! This will sure bring many more improvements along the way and of course many more of your fav games running even better with the likes of Tom Thumb with any luck!

What's more this should keep us all up-to-date with the change over to M$ XP (if you've done so already) and keep the plussy alive long into the future. Things are looking good indeed :-)

All the best Mike and we look forward to your first release! Cheers.

Posted by Csabo on 2002-08-19
Our fellow German Plus/4 freax over at www.c16.de have just uploaded two rare games. Feuerwehr (Fire Department) is a 16K basic game by an unknown german author. Galaxis is written by Joachim Stolte in 1986. It is an english language logical game for the C16, where you have to uncover different space crafts. Download them now!

Yape 0.40 Released!!
Posted by MIK on 2002-08-05
Once again Attila Grósz has been tweaking his great Plus4 emu and fixed a number of bugs. Along with that and to celebrate the new .TAP version of Summer Events Attila corrected the raster line registers so the game now displays glitch free which is a most welcome sight for all Summer Events fans! The bug line up's are:
  • enhanced the internal monitor with some more editing functionality
  • tweaked a little on the timers, they seem to behave better now
  • fixed a sound initialisation bug
  • fixed a glitch when writing to the raster line registers
  • fixed a bug with pending IRQs
  • fixed a potential crash in the keyboard handler
  • fixed a crash with very long path names (it'd only crash now if they're very-very long :-) )



Summer Events is here in TAP format!!
Posted by MIK on 2002-08-02
Summer Events the last C16/Plus4 creation by none other Udo Gertz has to be one of the most astounding games ever released and she's here in TAP format!

There isn't much I can really put to words as I'm just so pleased this baby has finally been TAP'd. I never thought the day would come as only yesterday I came close to creating a working sample wav version (46MEG unzipped) just so we could have it, but even that failed to load on the last event, (Wieght Lifting). Anyways if you've been waiting for this to roll off the press your day has at least come! I would also like to dedicate this tap to Attila Grósz because without his hard work on YAPE this tap may never would have seen the light of day, Cheers m8 :-)
