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.

I'm after some older versions of Picromite
I'm trying to find a version that BLIT and longstring works
I'm looking for
2018-11-16_222927_mmbasicSTRETCH.zip
2018-09-27_222719_mmbasicSTRETCH.zip  2nd version with fixes
or any versions after 5.4.20 where both Blit and Longstring works
I'm using Stretch and have no interest in updating it to Buster or anything

I "think" these are the only versions between 5.4.20 where Longstring was added and 5.05.01 where I know Blit does not work

The versions listed on the forum are not available to dowload anymore

Thanks   not sure if they are any of the ones I'm after but I'll definitely check them out and let you know
The pi works brilliantly with MM it's a shame it's been retired

Thanks to both Lizby and mclout999 for their help with the older versions but unfortunately it didn't work.

Peter if you'r watching this
is there any easy way for me to modify version 5/4/16 to make longstring work?

5.4.16 both blit and longstring works but 5.4.21 upwords longstring works but blit doesn't

I've tried every version I can find from 5.4.21 upwards

There is no change in the code for longstring or blit between these versions. This highlights the whole issue with the Picromite. It seems impossible to build a reliable version for any given combination of Raspbian and Pi type. Old version can't be modified as I don't have copies of older source - sorry.

Thanks Peter
You were right obviously longstring does work but the versions after 5.4.20 the amount of data longstring can handle was increased
Blit for some reason doesn't work after 4.4.16 but I'll just use the earlier version
not to worry I'll try and reduce the amount of data needed
