F/+AMX1

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

   CONVERTING AMX CUTOUTS AND SCREENS TO RISCOS SPRITE FILES 
  ***********************************************************

METHOD 1
********
Obtain utility "ScrGrab" from Jon Ripley.

                     JON RIPLEY
                     BBC USER GROUP (BUG)
                     56 LONGSTONE ROAD
                     EASTBOURNE
                     EAST SUSSEX
                     BN21 3SJ
                     (Tel: 01323 732597)

This needs installing in relocatable module area.*RMload ScrGrab,from the
command line etc.

Go into !65Host.*LOAD F 3000.Where F is the filename of the Screen you
want to load.For displaying Cutouts use a program called Basprev.This has
been supplied on an EUG disc in the past.I can provide it if necssary.Once
the picture has been displayed,press Alt and Ctrl together and the image
will be converted to sprite and automatically saved as ScrDump 1.Each
succesive image will be ScrDump 2 etc.

 When you've done you can rename the Sprites to something more meaningful.

METHOD 2
********
 Obtain 6502em from Warm Silence Software.

                     WARM SILENCE SOFTWARE   
                     ST CATHERINES COLLEGE
                     MANOR ROAD
                     OXFORD
                     OX1 3UJ
                     (Tel: 01585 487642)
 
 This is a full blown BBC emulator which has more features than Acorns own
(!65Host).

 When first setting up,ensure Sprites are enabled as per the setting up
procedures supplied with it.Once enabled this feature is available every
time you use 6502em.

 Go into 6502 emulation.Display the clipart as in Method 1.Press F12 to
return to Desktop.Select "Sprite" from 6502 menu.Give the sprite a
suitable name and drag the icon to wherever you want to save it.
