*** I recently took out a Philips monitor from the cabinet. Absolutely wonderful- good image quality, but unfortunately EGA. I decided to redo it it into an analog CGA monitor. First, I checked the functionality─ functionality of the monitor by connecting the Scorpa analog output to it. On eq─ there was no vertical synchronization before (the picture floated up), because I only have a synchronized mixture, and EGA requires personnel and lowercase separately, also of a different polarity. On eq─ ran displayed a test picture of colors (RESET+BREAK). Colors and letters were only where BRIGHT=1. Surprisingly, the colors were perfect definitely “correct”. I remember very well that when I connected Scorp through digital RGB with the correct sync pulses, then the colors were not Spectrum at all. For this reason I began to look for another monitor. It seems that somehow it is possible to get Moni to torus work in analog mode with correct colors. I decided to exclude the DAC, made in the form of ROM, from the monitor circuit 512 bytes. I disassembled the monitor, pulled out the board and poked the oscillo into it─ count. I'm really confused. I sat there for about five hours, drawing all sorts of things. diagrams and sketching pictures from the oscilloscope, where I measured what. I put the monitor aside until better times. Maybe someone had experience in remaking such monicas? *** While communicating with Surfin Bird, I told him what I installed in the PS2 hard drive, and SB gave me the idea to install Linux on the console. At that time II discarded this idea, and half a year later I started talking about it again I remembered this and decided to do it. I went home to a friend with a “fat Internet” and downloaded from torrents Linux distribution on two DVDs. I rewrote it for myself and dragged it home. It looks like installing Linux will ruin everything for me igns on the HDD, but also saves on the memory card. Anyway, slop─ Well, this is exactly what is written in the installation instructions from the good ones─ Ritans I'll try to find proprietary documentation for Linux from So─ ny... *** I decided to audit the games on the SMUC HDD so that about every game─ find out how it relates to loading from the HDD, and at the same time identify games from which are damaged or missing screensavers, pictures or something somewhere damaged. I will drag games from TZX. To get a list of games you could use a friend's CATHDD Vega, but the output information format is not suitable for work. Therefore, it was decided to write my own software. I wrote a simple program that displays a list of partitions on the HDD, where you can choose what to scan. Then scans about times the disks of the specified partition and pulls them out into a text file names of all BASIC files as a string: NAMEPROG LONGDISKNAM PARTIT/DISKNN A file is created with the name of the section. In general, we received a list of files, but I would like to sort it alphabetically. I tried sorting in iS-EDIT, but the sorting process─ Editing the file would take 3-4 hours. This method is perfect for me─but it doesn't fit. The solution is to write my own software. Sorts text strings in ascending order of ASCII codes. Moreover, you can specify the window-with─ positions in the line, i.e. starting position and how many characters take into account. I launched the program quite quickly, meh─ in less than three minutes, she sorted the file for me and recorded it on disk. Cool. It could be faster, but that suits me. After receiving the alphabetical list of games, I sent it to the prince─ ter. The printer worked for 40 minutes without rest and did not burn out. Japanese they know how to do it. Our MC6313 would have overheated halfway through and... rel. I've already had this happen. Then I had to look for the head for─ menu It turned out to be 16.5 pages, 85 lines each and 34 lines each─ mvola in each line. I think it turned out to be about 47,000 characters. I put both programs in the application. Outcome sorter─ Nickname for Storm.
