Hi, I'm trying to improve the current MESS driver for the VZ computers. It would be really helpful for me if I had some test programs, for example programs...

... The image that currently sits on vz-alive? mmmm, interesting point. Could well indeed be corrupt. Heh! Dunno if I originally supplied it, but if I did, it...
*chuckles* Okay, would one o' ye PAL gents familiar with the game convert the .VZ to WAV, load it up on a VZ200 or VZ 300 with memory expansion, and let me...
Let me just jot this down for 'things to do'. Give me a week or so, and will see if I can do it. Me VZ has been sitting on the floor in the spare bedroom for...

Speaking of .VZ files... I'm a bit mystified about the format. See, I thought that it had the name, type (F0 or F1) and a start address, and then the main...
Hi, I created the first '.vz' file (I believe it was circus.vz) so I thought I should speak up :) The file format is as follows : bytes 0..3 : magic number,...

Thanks for the explanation. Below is the source code from vzem.c (I copied this when making JVZ200). Looks like it doesn't know about the two end address...
... I was for sure that Larry Taylor ("VSoftwareZ") actually released two different versions - one for the VZ200/Laser 210 and one for the VZ300/Laser 310. The...

I checked some of the .vz files I downloaded from vzalive.bangrocks.com -- all the ones I checked started the data block on byte 24; the end address wasn't...
I grabbed that zccbin.zip and tried compiling the demo program included there. It compiled, and made demo.vz. That wouldn't run, though! I checked the .vz...

As some of you might remember (then again, you might not), in a fit of nostalgia I purchased a VZ-200 off eBay in about October or November last year. Later on...

Make a PDF of your design and I'll whack it on VZ-ALiVE! If anyone wants to expand a VZ300: If you use the VZ200 expansion modules on a VZ300 there's a gap in...
Hi Andrew, Great to hear someone else getting into the serious hardware mods !!! What is your proposed next step ? Finally, just out of interest where did you...
Next step, probably to write some software for the RAM expansion. I will have to hunt through the newsletters to find some block load code. After that, I was...
