PDR Webboard back! (misc)

The webboard is back after beeing hacked :/ All postings are lost and all members are lost as well. It was not possible to pull the backup back on the server for whatever reason. I don’t think I can reconstruct that stuff anyway…[Update 13-March-2005 @ 11:40]I got the backup to work! Everything is restored.

PandaForth (09-03-2005) (GBA misc)

Image provided by: TorlusPandaForth by Torlus is a Forth like programming language for the Gameboy Advance. Here is what he writes on his homepage:

I made a port of PandaForth (a Forth implementation I did for my hardware project, see FPGA section).One of the original features of PandaForth is that you can use the interpreter directly from your computer if you have a MBV2 cable, by using the”console mode”of the tool bundled with it.If you don’t have such a cable, you can still test the interpreter features on hardware or in an emulator, as PandaForth is able to”embed”source with the help of Damian Yerrick’s GBFS library for GBA.It is bundled with full source code, a small demo written in Forth, and all the scripts to build your own programs.

mLIB Beta (MOD Player for GP32)

Mr. Spiv /Scoopexreleased a beta of his mLIB which is a MODplayer library for the GP32. A port to the Gamecube might happen in the far future.

A simple beta of mlib.. Download a GXB here. Controls: L+R to reboot, START and SELECT to toggle between two mods, A to play a”NI”, LEFT + RIGHT to adjust the master volume, UP + DOWN to toggle mod enable/disable. The”red bar”going aroud the screen is the used”raster time”per frame refresh. 12kHz output, 67.8MHz CPU speed… lame but.. time for the next project.
