Again TRDOS TuRDOS TRDOS!
Again TRDOS TuRDOS TRDOS! By Raver Ohhh dear. Just a spare moment, so let me write some chaotic words of wisdom, okay? Don't ask me to be stylish and write like 7h15 or shit like that when everything is divided in subsections with smart headlines, HELL, this is just something to think about you motherfucking assholes :) Technology Research Disk Operating System. Sounds proud! One could argue if it is as proud as it sounds, but well, TR-DOS users are perhaps proud of it, otherwise they wouldn't be using it, right? We've been discussing this system and bad ass machine code loaders for ages, but still, a solution isn't here! Because we need a disk system and we need machine code loaders and therefore sticking to basic isn't always possible. Also, there is a thing. It should be obvious. TR-DOS is an old system, and used for ages, it has countless versions and remakes, people were burning ROMs like crazy bezerks and people were exploring original code, found many ways to use it, coded a shitload of different loaders, discovered new ways of protecting TR-DOS disks and finally coded ohhh so much software for it, including different operating systems, all sitting and based on TR-DOS. If it's not a cult, it is surely something we, TR-DOS people see as a part of OUR spectrum. And if you, dear TR-DOS hater, say that we are nazi because we make software under it and use cloned speccies, think of yourself. It can't go away so fast... just like spectrum itself, it is in our hearts. We are used to it and old habits die hard. It's too late. If we kick off TR-DOS, we perhaps leave speccy, else we use what we have got there. Because we never used original speccy and the only other system we know (older speccy people) is tape. Should we get back to the r0OOtz? ;D Tape rules. I've came up with a possible resolution, and I've been told that it's not a new idea - just check this page: http://bla.bla.com Okay. Let's see what can I offer. Each case is specific, so it could be rather hard to have some exact rules what to do and what not. Documentation is needed! Aha, that's it. Either have your fucking loading routines in a seperate file or either have them in your own file, but make people's life easier, don't crunch it, pack, encrypt it or anything like that... like, okay, you've got one filed game, just TR-DOS basic file, crunched to death. What to do now? KRAKAITIS! Oops, I mean it's a job of cracker to get it working on your ficken disk system. Oh shit. So, bastards! Have your fucking loader at $5D40 after a REM in basic! Then, after another REM (if possible, if not - in an nfo file or somewhere where it will be spread along with crack ehm, any release that is) state all the entry points and used registers! they would be THE SAME usually if you're lame enough to use good ol' $3D13 (hehe, in fact you use it, because you want full compatibility with older/newer TR-DOS ROMs or whatever). And if we were not such bastards, we could even use standard entry points starting with this $5D40. Along with registers used and entry points, state how many files (or, well, virtual files) do you have there linked in that one file, and state how long each file is. ARGH!! but no filenames, right? So... maybe it's better to write a complete help with all the addreses etc how to load this stuff bla bla. THEN WHY THE FUCK NOT MAKE TAP FILE WITH BASIC LOADER AT ALL?? Yeah! Make it if it's possible! If it's not, then okay. Let's say there are no filenames, but after all there are addreses on disk (track/sector)... and lucky you, if they are loaded (files) one after another. If not, you are in deep shit. Since you'll have to crack it anyway, HELL! I said this ain't easy! Else, some smart nigga could write an even smarter program which automatically splits one file into the desired number and dissects loader (ofcourse using information from the REM line or damn NFO file in each case). You see. Life is not easy, so stop moaning. Buy betadisk and TR -DOS ROM. That's the first step. Second, you TR-DOS lamers, always make TAP version of EVERYTHING you can, including your cracks and newspapers (haha, they are in russian anyways, but PRACTICE!) And then, there is always space for new groundbreaking groups, cracking and converting software from tape to TR-DOS and even more - in the other direction. I know, it wasnt easy, Ravah!
