Hi AntiPontifex !

I will have a look to "la machine infernale"...

[edit]
Just one program ????
You had to type the little loader!
... to initialize the 16k expansion.

Code: Select all

!- load"machine",8
10 REM-PROGR.DE.16 KO-
11 POKE642,32:POKE36869,240::POKE36866,PEEK(36866)OR128
12 POKE648,30:POKE36866,150:POKE0,108:POKE1,0:POKE2,192:SYS0

But first, i had to check the shifted spaces CHR$(96) in graphix levels!
Thanks AntiPontifex!

Thank for that, Xavier! I just forgot to upload it: all the best.

Hi,
"Machine infernale" OK! [16k RAM+Joystick]

Amazing, Xavier! Merci beaucoup!

Hi,
"KOTZ" in the Hebdogiciel #55 can't be OCRed properly!
I had to contact Ouessan to rescan it, using a HD camera.

The next : "TUCK IN RACE"#100 .... a big one!

OCR?! I've been typing these in like a sucker! Tell me your secrets!

[orion70]

Yep, I'm also interested, as I have this old Italian listing "flight simulator" for the VIC +16K sitting in my drawer, and never had the time or will to type it in.

Hi,
Yes, i use an old OCR named "EasyReader Classic Edition"...
But, most of scanned picture are in poor definition (150dpi).
I had to change the main picture:
-Resize the picture X2 and fixe it to 300dpi.
-Apply a sharp module twice to avoid blur.
-Refocus grayscale to removing darker grey scale and get pure black ink on characters.
A raw text output is available.

The next step is a character replacement on OCR errors "l"="1", "O"="0" ...
"PRIt4T"="PRINT" (or "t4"="N"... Many errors are similar)
But, you had to jump all graphic characters... and add them in the 'PRG generator' !

It's a long work on a text editor, but I earn my time regard an emulator type-ins..."Where is the key?"



Check OCR OUTPUT (not compared with original codes!)
http://www.hebdogiciel.free.fr/hd-roms/ ... nRace2.txt
I had to check all values line by line, but all (!!!most of!!!) values are available.
Good luck to me!

Thank you! Will give a try with an OCR. Problem is, the printout of my listing is an old one (i.e., from an old dot matrix printer). I don't know if modern OCRs can recognize those peculiar fonts.

Hi,
"KOTZ" #55 typed...
But, the fire key/joystick button seem bugged !

Have fun.

[AntiPontifex]

I've completed Chasseur Spacial, but had to send it Xavier for bug correction. It may or may not be up
on Hebdogiciel.fr in the near future. Stay tuned.

Next up: #40 A/F

[xavier]

"Chasseur Spacial" #39 from AntiPontifex: OK

download: http://www.hebdogiciel.free.fr/vic20.htm
Next up : #100 "Turk in race" (machine langage)
I had to check codes to debug it!

[AntiPontifex]

As always, merci Xavier! Vous-etes le roi du VIC!

[AntiPontifex]

Xavier has my attempt at #40 A/F: it still needs bug squishing

Anyway, my next offering(s) will be #42 Quasimodo and Multifichier.

All the best.
