From Sergei Novikov To All 9 November 1997


Hiya Vladimir! Answering a message marked with the following:
From: Vladimir Kacev (2:5060/16.7); To: Michael Mordvinoff;
Date: Saturday, 08.11.97; Time: 06:50; Subj: "How? - Like this!"

MM>> How to make files from archives in the z80 extension, otherwise they are hell
MM>> will you understand what extension???

VK> I’ll answer with the words of Slava Mednonogov (you couldn’t say it better!):

VK> === Cut and save ===
VK> -+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-

VK> How to make a @MAGIC file from a .Z80 snapshot file for
VK> TR-DOS:

VK> - download the emulator UKV v1.x
VK> - press ESC
VK> - select the snapshot type - Z80
VK> - load the file
VK> - press F9
VK> - insert the TR-DOS disk
VK> - press F10 (Magic button)

In my opinion, in RVL4 everything is described in great detail. A snapshot can be downloaded for magic reset both in the Shalaevsky emulsion and in X128.

Hello Michael!

There is a bunch of software that does this. From time to time he flies here.
Wait a little. By the way, Shalaev's emylator 3.02 has just arrived.
And how and what to do - faq can be found here. It’s true that you haven’t seen anything for a long time.
But to the essence of the question -
1. You extract from the archive
2. You insert the Sinclair disk into the drive
3. You load a program called hobeta
4. You copy using F5 from MS-DOS to TR-DOS
5. You take out the Sinclair disk from drive.
6.Everything. :)

If you want more details, write with soap.

Bye, Vladimir :)

Even too detailed! Hardly anyone does that! Usually I downloaded it, threw it off with magic, and that’s it. Well, you can still process it with the @-crack utility. Just don’t say
that this is barbarism - everything works for me after it.

But it’s not written about this anywhere :(

It’s barbarism. You'll ruin normal games. Then somewhere at level 102
instead of enemies, walls will fly across the screen :)

So when did RVL4.1 come out? More precisely, it hasn’t come out yet in normal form - there is still no viewer.

From Igor Gruzdev To All 14 November 1997

I won’t say anything about x128 (I don’t have a clue), but with Shalaevsky... Is there magic there?
Or has Shalaevsky learned to at least run magic files? ;)


With all kinds of regards and wishes.
Igor.

Well, actually, I'm doing it for myself.
And in general, what did the person ask about: How to get a toy from a snapshot
on a Spekov disk. And you advise him to carry out a detailed analysis of the program,
find out which pages are occupied, what the program's starting address is, etc.
Imagine that you come to buy bread in a store, and they start asking you, do you know what type of wheat it is made from, and if what temperature was it baked at?

And I told you how to do it “in a simple way” :)

Salt in advance....

How do you know for what purpose he wants to distill the toy into a hobe? ;) Maybe
he wants to release it? =)
