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.

In the Welcome Tape, the scrolling text program (scrolling-text.bas) locks up my system. I have b10 installed. |

Thanks Tom, That is a known issue with all the 5.06.xx firmwares and is a result of a rejig of the CMM2's low-level graphics implementation. At the moment I am waiting for a new "release version" of the firmware before I re-test everything and ask the contributors to help me fix any issues before releasing a Welcome Tape 0.5.1 (or 0.6). Best wishes, Tom Edited 2020-12-01 22:24 by thwill Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

It's a little bit frustrating having months of betas and release candidates but no "stable" version to latch onto. This is of course a side effect of Peter's incredible productivity and the amazing things he has crammed into the CMM2 firmware. Still, it would be good to have a brief pause and for Peter to publish a version that is as bug-free as possible. And, in the best of all possible worlds, the documentation would catch up and match all the new features in the version! Oh well, sweet dreams ore made of these. -Bill |

As long as I'm reporting errors, I found one in the 3D section. I chose 3d football but it showed a soccer ball! (This is a JOKE, people!) |

Running the betas or RC's is ALWAYS going to be "at your own risk" because there's the possibility of things being broken. Personally, I wait for release versions so I don't have to thrash on my code, plus I don't find myself having a ton of time to be flashing versions constantly... |

I only know football, the sport played using the feet In the US, a football sort of looks like a Rugby ball that went on a diet. American football has more rules than any other sport in the world! No one understands all the rules, least of all the referees. We can spend Sundays sitting on the couch in our underwear watching the game while eating pizza, sausages, tacos and other all-American foods and swilling vast quantities of foamy yellow water we call beer (as opposed to the European drink of the same name that actually has body and flavor) |
