 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hi Peter, Attached is a ZIP of the A:/GameMite/ folder of the 2350 Game*Mite. Note that the programs are only tested to work in this folder. To make sure they are location ignorant I would have to check them individually. Issues you might have: - some games (Snake/Stoned/LaserCycle) expect (or create) a A:/high-scores/ folder. - most games are multi platform, and would only do Game*Mite when option platform is set to Game*Mite. To be honest, this could be your greatest hurdle. In the past 5 years several mechanisms have been in use to determine platform. - most Game*Mite games expect control through 8 switched on GP8...GP15, and do not support keyboard or whatever in Game*Mite mode. - most games exit with RUN "menu.bas", so when you provide a menu.bas that is empty, they should exit clean. There may be one or two that exit with FLASH RUN 1 (where the actual menu resides). I hope this is of any help, except this there is GNR and PETSCII (larger games) that I could make available (but I am sure you have PETSCII). GameMite.zip Volhout P.S. this was a simple task because I simply used your FM to copy the whole A: drive to a folder on SD card. Flawless !!! Compliments. !!

Will this work on the PICO Computer with HDMI/USB; the original one that has the PICO2 board soldered on to it? I've been attempting to load it with no response from the board. Regular MMBASIC loads and runs fine on the board. Thanks! |

No, it needs a PSRAM chip to work Harm, I don't think I have a clean up-to-date Petscii so a zip would be appreciated. If I can get that working....... Edited 2026-08-14 04:44 by matherp |

Hi George H, This ZIP is for Peter. For testing the FUZIX compiler. You should be able to copy the ZIP to your Pico-2 A drive (same as I did , put it on SD card, then use FM to copy the content to A:/ drive). Some games will run on it using keyboard, since they auto adjust. But I do not have your hardware, so cannot test them. Most games are VGA/LCD compatible, but may not detect HDMI. Simply since I did not have a platform to play with. But adapting them could be as easy as replacing "VGA" with "HDMI" in the detection function (in most games on the first page when opening the program in the editor). Volhout P.S. platform detection in most cases is something like: IF INSTR(MM.DEVICE$,"VGA")THEN ...... Edited 2026-08-14 04:51 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Thanks! I better get that Pico 3 board ordered. I've been waiting for a reason and this is a good one. |

I don't know if V14 is supposed to fix my problem but it doesn't. I still get constant lockups, reset doesn't recognize the USB keyboard and, occasionally, I get a continuous string of characters which requires a power cycle. These things happen even if I don't compile a program. |

The fixed version is still WIP |

I'd like to thank you for this release! I’ve been testing it for two hours now on the PGA2350A2 and my setup, encoding a 5MB MP3 file with uuencode on Linux and transmitting it with a 10mSec line delay. It took 15 minutes, but the file size was identical to that on the PC. I then decoded it with uud, and it plays back without any errors. I didn’t experience any crashes, except when the serial console was flooded with too much data. |

Remember, the easy way to transfer is to shut the machine down (shutdown) then put the sdcard into the PC, Copy a large file to the fat drive (assuming you have formatted it). Then put it back and reboot the PC3. FAT LS tells you what is on the FAT drive and FAT GET fname copies fname to the current directory. Pretty slow but faster than serial port. |

Volhout Please could you run PicoVaders on a Rp2040 and let me know what frame rate you are seeing? Thanks |

Peter, I can't format this FAT partition on Windows 11 because after loading the image, Windows11 doesn't recognize it and won't allow me to access disk and volume management. Do you know how to do this? Is it possible to format this FAT partition using Fuzix? P.S. Pardon me, I poked around in Windows 11 a bit and found Control Panel - System and Security - Windows Tools - Create and format disk partitions Edited 2026-08-17 00:12 by javavi |

Sorry can't help. What are you using the create the sdcard? Try Win32DiskImager |
||||
| javavi Guru Joined: 01/10/2023 Location: UkrainePosts: 595 |
To write the image to the card, I used Raspberry Pi Imager. It was not possible to manage disks using Windows 11 settings when the SD card was connected. I poked around in Windows 11 a bit and found Control Panel - System and Security - Windows Tools - Create and format disk partitions. |

No. Use win32diskimager, that will run and overwrite the whole disk in the correct format |

@matherp Thanks Peter for the tip, with this Win32DiskImager everything was done easily.  This method of recording an image from Windows should be included in the manual. |

Is there a bug using mmedit in Teraterm for ver v.15? Pages don't scroll up with down arrow and purple lines appear at the bottom. First clue is no info line at bottom of page when opening file. Edit: My problem. I had the Teraterm window different from 80x24. Whn I resized the window to 80x24 it appeared to work as it should. Perhaps that needs to be looked at? |

Is this one supposed to cure the lockups and repeating character problems? It doesn't work on my two Pico Computer 3s. |

It works well, and I think it is pretty fast. Copying is a lot of work. Is tab-completion planned in some form? |
