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.

LICKING WHOOPSY
I READ the recent review of WHOOPSY and wonder if it is possible to get
the game to work from disk on a system where PAGE is higher than &E00. I
have the tape game but I prefer not to wait around if possible. The
files all transfer to disk - but the game hangs after the opening screen
on both the BBC Model B's DFS (PAGE at &1100) and the Electron's ADFS
(PAGE at &1D00). On the Master 128 it's fine but I would rather have a
version compatible with all machines if possible. Any advice?

PROBLEMS like this are depressingly all too common because professional
programmers try to make their games as polished as possible by cramming
code into every last orifice of the machine. When loading from tape, the
respective machine normally has more memory to spare. When loading from
disk, the Disk Operating System usually uses some of that memory for its
operation. So if you have the disk loading a game which is writing to
the area of memory the ADFS or DFS has reserved, you get an almighty
crash and the machine locks up. The bad news is that this is a problem
you can only fully get around with gadgets like the ADVANCED PLUS 4 chip
(or by buying a Master).
The good news is that WHOOPSY is one of the few games that CAN be
made to work on any machine with the addition of a 'downloader' program
to the code. Many of the demos and more professional programs that make
it onto each EUG magazine incorporate such 'downloaders'. The problem
file is loaded into a higher PAGE of memory (possibly even screen memory
which is why you get 'rubbish' all over the screen) and isn't executed
until the (A)DFS has been disabled and the code 'relocated' to its
'proper' PAGE. Then the execution address is called and the program
works correctly. If you are new to BBC programming, you will probably
need to study the Memory Map in the User Guide in conjunction with the
following explanation.
With WHOOPSY, you need to make alterations to two of the loader prog-
rams. LOAD"WHOOPSY" (the first loader with the sprites), LIST then type:
>DELETE 1,4 (the lines putting PAGE at &E00)
It's best to add another line too so that the loader screen doesn't only
appear for a second before it is blanked as soon as the next file is
loaded.
>215COL.7:P.'SPC(4)"PRESS SPACE";:OSCLI("FX 21"):REPEATUNTILGET=32
Now SAVE"WHOOPSY". If you decide to RUN the game at this point, it will
still 'lock up'. This is because, after you press SPACE, "WHOOPS2" is
CHAINed and IT *RUNs "FULGAME" which causes the error. So LOAD"WHOOPS2"
and LIST.
In order to stop the screen filling with rubbish, it's necessary to
get out of MODE2, which "WHOOPSY" has changed the Mode to. So add the
line:
>5MODE6:VDU23;8202;0;0;0;
Now alter line 10 to:
>10choice=&8C:?choice=1
and
>DELETE 20,30
The statements in these two lines are important but they cause problems
with the 'downloader' and need to be put elsewhere. Now change line 80:
>80COLOUR0
If you choose to omit this, you will see the downloader code on screen.
However, make sure to delete the old line 80 in such case.
Now the code itself. It is put into two of the function keys (the
first calling the second) and the final command of the program executes
function key 0 to *LOAD the problem file into memory:
>90*KEY 0 "*L. FULGAME 2000|M*T.|MFORI%=0TO&21FFSTEP4:I%!E00=I%!&2
000:NEXTI%|M*FX138,0,129|M"
>100*KEY 1 "MODE2:VDU23;8202;0;0;0;:?&224=&A6:?&87=&B7:?&88=&97:?&
89=&9E:?&8A=&BD:?&8B=&9D:CALL&1899|M"
>110*FX138,0,128
The extra commands deleted from the old lines 20 and 30 are stuck back
in here and, after carefully checking you have entered all of the code
above correctly, SAVE"WHOOPS2" will complete the 'compatibilisation'.
The new version of WHOOPSY can then be loaded from the disk with:
>PAGE=&1D00
>CH."WHOOPSY"
Incidentally, most games will require simply the code contained in line
90 (replacing the last *FX command with the execution address of the
program). Programming a function key with:
"*L. problem 'above1D00'|MFORI%=0TO'&length'STEP4:I%!'&start'=I%!
'above1D00':NEXTI%:CALL'&execute'|M"
and substituting the 'above1D00' with, say, 2000, and the other hexa-
decimal values (&xxxx) with those of the problem file (which you can
discover with the *EX <RETURN> command) will work on a fair number of
games. It is easy to mix up the addresses - so if things don't work
first time, check them first before deciding the game cannot be 'down-
loaded'. As an experiment, try DANGER UXB, GALACTIC COMMADNER, KAYLETH
and STOCK CAR. With the right addresses inserted, all should work! You
can also check out the version of WOODBURY END supplied with this EUG
which was also made possible with a 'downloader'.
