Clapping hands for your proposition! I just wanted you to add this to the previous question, I think it could included : Q:"The subsidiary C= companies outside US, apart from UK, have a near-zero developer support, concerning the CD32 platform. From France, we developers have to log on UK or…
Robocod, if you don't already have it on an A1200 is really good…
Anyway, Mega CD production has been stopped a few months ago, and is no more in stores in Japan. Sega is trying to sell stocks in Europe, then will totally stop working on the Mega CD market. Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk

CD32 expansion
Message #73005
How's the CD32 expansion going? CD32 is doing well in Europe… Some British mags. do advert the MicroBotics CD32 expansion kit, so is it still under development, or held under CD32 goes USA ? Please tell, that's what _I_ need! Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Jolly good! Thank you, John… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk

I totally agree with you, John, but the IFX P-CD loader _is_ buggy… It doesn't check errors when loading; thus you sometimes get some corrupt lines on a picture. Erm, I've just checked the version (because you said PCD100 in you posting), and mine seems to be 0.90.00 (12.10.93). This…

You said it! Anyway, it will take a look at ASIM CDFS… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Labyrinth of Time..HELP!

You said it! Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Well, I'm doing professional software for CD32 and I've written hidden routines to look at what have been saved in Non-Volatile and delete it whether it's been locked or not… Thus this is only available in French Driving Schools 🙂 (and with the knowledge of the hidden code to access…

#HUGE EPS file
Message #72621
EPS files _are_ huge… Just take a look inside them to find why!. Now you can use ASDG's splitz&joinz to transfer such huge files via floppy discs…
Is this a German course, or what ? Bitte, speak in English 🙂 Alles klar… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Official release date is January, 28th… But who knows 😉 Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
A A4000 system! Because I have asked all the distributors I knew and noone was able to sell me one. You could ask C= directly… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
You can actually protect any score from being deleted by going to the built-in menu and putting a protect symbol in from of your beloved saved game… I have not seen any product that did some wild deletes yet (apart from my own routines 😉 Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris,…
Oh, looks interesting! I may upgrade to Vlab Motion if price is ok. Do you know any Internet address to get in touch with MacroSystem ? Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
AFAIK, and AFAI've seen, the CD32 ports are basically the same as on a 'normal' Amiga. So the auto-sensing won't come from the hardware, but from the programmation! If you boot a normal workbench on CD32 (CDPD3 from Almathera for example), mouse plugged in Port 0 will work, but nothing…
Yep. It boost pixels plotting on screen, which is useful for texture mapped games, for examples. Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Please tell us more now! You're playing with our nerves 😉 Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
AKIKO is rom-based, so I'm afraid you won't get the chunky_to_planar features on a bare A4000/A1200, even with OS3.1 The flash ram is programmation ain't limited to the actual 1K (If bigger size is included, it will be properly handled). Programmation also allows the use of a DOS device(df0:/dh0: etc)…
Use it with a CD32 programmed game/application otherwise you won't be able to access the new buttons… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Well, Diggers lets you play with a mouse (it becomes really easier!). Robocod accpets a joystick… To be precise : Port 0 is still the mouse port on CD32 Port 1 the joystick port… But the joypad can be plugged in either. On port 0, button Red and Blue become…
Oh dear, please tell us ! – A PhotoCD loader ? – A .PSD (photoshop) loader ? – AdPro 3 ? – AdPro at $10 😉 ? – AdPro displays 16M colours screens on bare A500 😉 ? C'mon, tell us! Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Jonathan – >* CD Movies: are folks really going to go for this format? Everyone I've >talked to thinks the idea of the 72 minute disc is unattractive. Now that I have a CD32 (and borrow a FMV card from work on week-ends), I just can't stand VHS anymore !!!…
Steve, Trent – CD32 titles will work on A1200 & A4000 as far as they use standard OS3.0 libraries. When OS3.1 will be released, it will include the needed libraries that allow a CD32 joypad to be plugged, CDRom direct reads etc. These libraries (AFAIK) are part of CD32 or…
Ok, I will try that… Thank you and Merry Xmas to you… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Palette & AdPro
Message #70881
Is there any way to lock just 4 contiguous colours from a palette on AdPro, let's say colours 16 to 20, without affecting 0 to 15 ? If someone knows, that, please tell me how to do… I've played with lock/cust/used etc, but I only manage to lock 0 to…
CD32 costs around #279 (UK pounds), so I guess it will be around $500… Sales are _very_ encouraging in Europe… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
HAM8 help !
Message #70293
I have to follow up a project on the Amiga. It deals with HAM8 pictures, and I have to use sprites on these HAM8 screens. I do not have any experience with AdPro, and my question is : My source are 24 bit TIFF pictures which I have to convert…
I knew that ! What I'm seeking for is a method to plot pixels even when their color is higher than the 64 base-palette… There must be some algorithms to minimize fringing effects… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Ok. Thanx. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
#HAM8 help needed
Message #38275
I'm currently using HAM8 mode, and I'm wondering how to plot a pixel on screen using _LVOWritePixel() without suffering from the fringing effects due to HAM8 mode… Dpaint AGA allows plotting one pixel without bad side effects : how is it done ? The same goes with _LVODrawLine() etc… I'm…
Excuse me if this one is a stupid question for I'm new to CI$, but is it possible to create a CD32 conf., as all CD32 stuff doesn't belong to CDTV conf. ? Who creates confs on CI$ ? CD32 is doing well in Europe (at least in UK and…
A few '$' adds : Morph, Nigel Mansell, Sensible Soccer, Sleepwalker, Whale's voyage and Zool are available here in Paris… Syndicate is near completion, and will be ass-kicking compared to the previous versions ! Fred. (CD32 developer) Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Totally agree with you, Mike… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
Yup, this could be possible, but the PD PhotoCD viewers don't support the three largest resolutions (because of bugs & memory problems). Thanx for the idea, anyway… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
I can easily understand that, but wouldn't it be possible to do some kind of reverse engineering, and not using the word PhotoCD… The whole Amiga community would thank ASDG, and sales would ride high… Hehe… I _really_ would like this option to be added to AdPro 😉 Fred. Frederic…
#CD32 add-on

We in France have heard rumours about an extension for CD32… Could you tell me if it's true… Then what, when, how much ? Fred.
#PhotoCD
Message #69531
Hi there… I'm a newcomer to CIS… As ASDG is there, would anyone tell me PhotoCD loaders are on their way for AdPro ? I would prefer it to PhotoShop on the PeeCees 😉 Fred.
