I'm looking for a UK magazine that was published in the '80s that focused on BASIC programming. I forget the name, but there's a site that most of the issues online.

Any ideas?

Was it INPUT magazine ?

told you I should use PSG more😁 https://youtu.be/hYH_z6JYiMw note to exporting ZSM. Due to inaccuracy of the Furnace emulation of the VERA PCM volume, you should play with the PCM volume to lower it a bit to match the video. Covered and mastered on Furnace v0.6.0, Very cool.

VERA handles zero as transparent, ok. When porting from the C64, zero was black. So to get the effect again, we set the VERA background to black, and voilá, everything is fine. As long as you get the other layer and sprites sorted. In Tilemaped, everything that was black is now grey, as that is the...

Maybe add them to BASLOAD and let it implement them with existing BASIC 2.0 commands. Other "syntactic sugar" like SELECT CASE and multi line IF...THEN could also be implemented. Maybe even SUB and FUNCTION? Yes, FUNCTION is a stretch... FUNCTION Might be easier than SELECT CASE. If it wa...

Just my two cents here. For me, what would be period correct and hugely enjoyable is a simple wifi modem that allows for a simple terminal program to connect to internet-based bbses. One of my primary uses for my C64 was to connect to bbses for conversation, games and downloads. To me, having some ...

Updated this to preserve VERA Text Colors in the BMX file. BMX files will now be 240 colors and the VERA default text colors will be included in the BMX Palette for Indices 0-15.

No sound? or does it say "invalid format?" Because it doesn't support all formats. Maybe I should improve the error message. Ah, I think those wavs are 44.1 khz stereo, which is too much for the poor x16 to handle. Try converting it to mono or <=16khz first, and play that instead? Anyway ...

Allows loading assets to VRAM, BRAM golden Ram on startup without having those routines take memory from your program. Each time LOAD Is invoked the LOAD.ed module...
