@colin-mcmillen.piaille.fr.ap.brid.gyNot exactly a release, but it might interest a few #retrocomputing people here. I needed to store MORE CODE on my floppy, and extended Oliver Schmidt’s LOADER.SYSTEM to a ZXLOADER.SYSTEM, making it easy to load compressed program binaries on #AppleII.
With Oliver's help, this is now in cc65's […]
@colin-mcmillen.piaille.fr.ap.brid.gyNew hotness: Dust off your Dycam 10-C or Chinon ES-3000 camera, take pictures while cosplaying Luke Skywalker with their magnificent sci-fi look, then just plug it to your #AppleII and do Digital Photography the right way.
