Fantastic, Electron Elite was my first Elite. My kit is in storage however, so can't help on hardware testing. Great work, look forward to playing.

I'm still here but not very active, I have been working on swift very infrequently rewriting in C#
To simplify it now exclusively supports beebasm and beebem and nothing else. The version I have I don't think is suitable for a release but I'll check. I think there's too much missing.

I think (could be wrong ) MrGpG probably means a BASIC supporting multi line IF THEN ELSE ENDIF, so you would need the ENDIF then, for the interpreter to know when the "ELSE" statements to be executed actually end.

Absolutely! And Delphi's implementation of OOP with it was sweet. Better in my humble opinion than C++ implementation, which seems clunky in comparison.

Off top of my head was "Pedro" which I bought for the Electron from the Bargain Bin of my "Leo's" COOP store for £1.99, (could have been 0.99p) I was ripped off. Although there are others I remember, which I can't remember the exact name of, a snooker game and Empire Strikes Back...

I've never played with Delphi on the BBC though...I have got the ROMs, just never fired them up. Delphi Roms. Was that a typo? I used Acornsoft Pascal ones back in the day for college work. If they exist I'd presume they just implement the OO aspects, wouldn't be room for much else I would have tho...

I don't think I'd want to encourage Youtube to plonk any ads on our videos though, they're a major turn off for me!! Youtube recently-ish announced that they will (if they want) put ads on channels that aren't monetised, which sucks. So they may run them on your videos anyway! You could sign up wit...

Sub'd, Bumped!

OK, I've booted up my XP install and also recovered my conversion from its backup. I'd decided to simplify the set up and I'm going to stick with that. When I wrote the original I envisaged flexibility covering more than just the Acorn computers. This made the system more complex but it seemed the w...

Well, hey, I'm still around. Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I suppose it does look totally abandoned and to some extinct it is/was. However behind the scenes over the last 5 years, on and off I've been re-writing it in C#. It was originally written in Delphi with extra third party widgets, some of wh...

I'll go with Yes

Welcome, my first Acorn was an Elk too, loved that little machine :) Back in the day expanded it with disks (AP4) and Roms and AP2 (Better Plus 2 expansion) etc. Not sure what prices are now, but used to be relatively cheap to collect for but I think most retro collecting is becoming more expensive ...

Welcome, great intro

Nope, deffo doesn't help on your CV, hope things turn out OK

It was mentioned in a post a long time ago in a forum far far away that if you read my forum name backwards the avatar makes sense

Welcome back, I stopped visiting when it got too busy here, but came back when retro software closed.now I stick to active topics with interesting titles. PS I also did frohger, but for the beeb. https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=10684&hilit=frogger Yes, when I've dipped oc...

Some of you will remember me as some did in a recent thread, many will not know me but I used to be a big contributor a long time ago for some years and was one of the original moderators. But due to redundancy and finding I needed to start a brand new career from scratch (with all the work that ent...

[thread sidetracked] thanks, will try to post more. RL has been busy last few years. [\thread sidetracked]

Great stuff, better late than never,

I wonder why? I got my copies many years ago and I've watched them many times, can't see why anything would need cutting. Do you know what the differences are? If not I'll try and compare myself.

Bit sidetracking but that's one feature I've always hated and glad to see the back of it, now if only other browsers would follow suit. Amazing how one persons essential is anothers PITA.
