|  First XeO3 demo available now! | | Posted by Luca on 2006-09-29 |
 After 6 slow and alternate years, you're now able to see the whole stuff moving!
Mike Dailly, and Luca are proud to show you the very first XeO3 demo, that would be the symbolic gates introducing the whole project into an advanced phase.
We strongly suggest you to try it on the original hardware, for a better output in both visual and music. If you're not able to run the demo on the real Plus/4, you need to set this minimum configuration on latest version of YAPE emulator:
- 64Kbytes, any machine;
- SIDcard emulation at $FD40, new chip 8580, TEDclock.
Hey pals, by now don't miss a couple of weekly peeps into our two blogs, where you can read about the project's global evolution, and about the in-depth project's coding issues.
And now, you can't miss to write your opinion. We're ready to standoff, don't be delicate, we are tough enough. |

| | Two Cover Scans From Soft | | Posted by Csabo on 2006-09-27 |
  We didn't have any new coverscans in a while, so it's time for some fresh stuff. C16 Chris sent us two more rare covers. These are once again Italian re-release covers from Soft, the originals are from Tynesoft. They are for Lawn Tennis (Tennis) and Raffles. Check them out and enjoy! |

| | Forever Plus/4 Emulator Updated! | | Posted by Csabo on 2006-09-24 |
Litwr sent us word that he updated his excellent Forever Plus/4 Emulator, it's now version 1.34. He made big advances in terms of accuracy. In his own words: "It can run all programs except those with turbo-loaders and with super-tricky ones like 42/50/52-chars screen". While turbo loaders are common, the second category means only a handful of software.
Please note that this software now has a new host, so follow the new link and update your bookmarks. Cheers to Litwr for keeping the Russian Plussy front alive!

| | Dynablasta Preview! | | Posted by Csabo on 2006-09-12 |
 Csio sent us the weirdest release announcement ever. It looks like the folks at Absence are gearing up to crunch out a new game(?), called DynaBlasta. You can find out more details (or not) by watching "Hakker i Krakker Stories", a short film (13MB avi file). Head on over to krakkerihakker.uw.hu. (This program contains coarse language. Viewer discretion is advised.) |

| | Yape V0.68 is out! | | Posted by Csabo on 2006-09-10 |
Gaia did it again! The newest YAPE literally speaks: it has true Toshiba 6721 speech LSI emulation (that was built into the V364, the Plussy's big brother). This opens up a lot of possibilities - when YAPE introduced SID emulation, a lot of the demos started using the SID (usually exclusively), even though a lot of sceners don't have SID cards. Does this mean speech or V364 specific demos will start turning up? Only time will tell.
Also from the same author, Pocket Commodore plus/4 has been updated to version 1.1 Cheers to Gaia for his continued groundbreaking work! |

| | Let's poking around your pocket... | | Posted by Luca on 2006-09-07 |
 Our campaign continues: get your floppies out from the dusty corner, and bravely begin hunting for lost software! Chronos did it, and spotted a whole forgotten one side demo: Total Lethargy.
Into the same diskside, other gems were hidden: Muffpacker 2 is an improved version of a well know packer, now with NTSC boost option; Teknointro is a quickly coded disk intro, lost someday somewhere, and now bobbed up; finally, we have issue one of Paprita magazine, that wedges in to complete the series.
Poking around your pockets to spot forgotten stuff, is a healthy sport, preserve you mind against getting old, and makes you happy all the day. Do it! |
