 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 |
