Modern day tools are so cool for developing games on retro computers. Here's the BBC Micro source code for 'Crazee Rider' assembling using VSCode, Beeb VSC and BeebAsm. It then packages up the object files into a disk image suitable for loading and running on an emulator.

'Pew-pew-pew-pew !!' The wall gap is nearly done.... just thought I'd move onto the ship missiles and come back to that later on.... just for sanity reasons you understand ! 😅

Sideways RAM support for the BBC Micro LZSS Music Player is in - will use as many banks as you have available to fit the track into memory, but few need more than 4. Here's a classic C64 conversion running in the player - Cybernoid by Jeroen Tel #bbcmicro #sn76489 #c64 #mos6581

The RiscPC will reach the ripe old age of thirty on Monday, 15th April - so why not mark the occasion by joining the RISC OS User Group of London's meeting that evening? riscository.com/2024/sing-happ… #Birthday #Celebration #London #Meeting #RiscPC #ROUGOL #UserGroup #RISC_OS

Revisiting another #C64 #SID conversion to the #SN76489. I loved playing Last Ninja 2 on the Acorn Electron and #BBCMicro... but lacked any music. Here's a conversion of Central Park Loader by Matt Gray. Can't reproduce all the SID character, but the SN76489 is giving it a go.

A classic BBC Micro track originally coded in BASIC - Addicts' Anthem by Daniel Pugh. There always seemed to be a very slight pause between pattern transitions, so I've taken the music data and re-implemented in 6502 assembler (Hence the strange playback rate).

I can now throw any CHIP-8 or S-CHIP game at my emulator (running on the Acorn Electron) without problems. I added a menu that allows me to quickly switch between games on the disk

Flappy Bird for Acorn Electron WIP. Sneak peek at the new backdrop and the bird itself. I managed to create enough space for a second screen buffer, which will be the next step

How about a bit of Unreal II by Purple Motion on the Acorn Electron? (albeit with no volume control, limited frequency range, no noise channel and only a single tone channel)

Electroniq WIP. Showing the main menu where you can insert/eject/save/create media (tape/disk/sdcard). There are 2 disk drives now. Loading/saving compressed tape files now supported. You can also load media straight from GitHub, or drag&drop local files onto my online emulator
