Re: Is main site down for good?

Would you consider for example wiki instead so that multiple people could contribute? For example Media Wiki, DokuWiki or GitHub Wiki - in worst case it could be done that only static pages would be used. I tried to make some wiki + mzf files repository in the past, if something similar could be inc...

Re: 700/800 - are custom taperoutines common?

This is out of my scope, but I believe WAV player is somehow emulated on MZ-800 unicard, not sure if it's worth to look in it's source codes or ask author...

Re: 700/800 - are custom taperoutines common?

Not sure what you mean there to emulate - you probably want to make something else than I thought. Anyway, just for testing purposes I created two test wav files of MZ-700 S-Basic in 3200bd. Fast/IPL method uses loader in file header while turbo loader uses small app. Both work on MZ-800 in emulator...

Re: 700/800 - are custom taperoutines common?

The question is interesting because I was tweaking a 12 minutes WAVE file into 3 minutes but without using a custom tape routine. I may plan to embed a tape routine to get the original 60KB wave file into a 1 minute loading by attempting 2400 baud or more. The original file uses a tape routine from...

Re: 700/800 - are custom taperoutines common?

As I had MZ-800 without any floppy drive, I would say, that while most of the tape recordings were monitor compatible, there were also various alternatives used, at least in Czech Republic: While 1Z016 basic produced monitor compatible recordings, it was at slightly different pitch, so I assume rout...

Re: PCG graphics on MZ 800

Basic 1Z016 has no support for MZ-700 PCG mode as far as I know. It supports only 320x200 and 640x200 modes with or without extra DRAM. Technically it could be possible to switch to MZ-700 mode in assembler call and do some drawings and maybe switch back ;-) Instead of CGRAM Basic has an area in mem...
