By "this", are you referring to Brushup or Diamond Paint. From what I recall, in Diamond Paint, arbitrary selection areas could be saved to disk, reloaded, and pasted anywhere; they may have been confined to byte boundaries though; I'd have to check it out again.

I started looking at a disassembly and after the 6th jump I decided I did not have the mental energy to even bother today. I'm definitely looking for a mouse driver I can easily incorporate into several pieces of code I am using. You may want to have a look at this routine Stephen. It's an all assembly routine (not designed as BASIC ML Sub). The source file can be viewed easily in Memo Pad (using the Import function). The included program RapidTexter gives you an example of its use, with a PMG block cursor. Mouse Routine (Assembly).zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha... I think they meant buying for the price that PD disks cost -- which was something like a dollar or so, BITD. I know that's how I got my copy of TBXL... and yes, I did forget Atari BASIC after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The format of the clip art files was simple; so, I could use these in my programs when I needed smaller graphics for this and that. IIRC, Rambrandt features clip art too, plus allows some animation small animations. I never used it before, but intend to look into it further.

I didn't have a lot of paint programs back in the day; I mostly had a small variety of public domain stuff -- and none of it was anything great. I did write a paint program of my own; but that was before I had a very good concept of what a good paint program for the Atari really required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) BrushUp v5.4 (attached!) ... Well I have to provide this update. The v5.3 woefully broke some stuff. I suggest just not using v5.3 it can lockup on the Circle tool. Almost all were created by the v5.3 updates. Don't worry... The testing department got yelled at for several hours. I was going to fire them all but that would also not leave anyone in development,ops,graphics design,and sound departments FYI... I did test it on Altirra 4.10 and works fine, someone had an issue a while back.

Ricky Spanish Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) I take it this is 130XE specific ?

This program uses 100% of the 128K so a ramdisk will do crazy stuff most likely. Using the disk provided should be fine how are you loading it manually?

rsh Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 From altirra settings as: Base system NTSC 1200XL (320K) Additional devices Host device (H:), Printer (P:) OS firmware Atari 1200XL OS [C5C11546] Mounted images Disk: BrushupV54.atr Cartridge: basxe41.bin [003D3A36] I can repeat it so this could be 1200XL quirk. I will play around with it. See if anything makes sense. I will mess with ram type and see if that makes any difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 Ok setting the Ram type to 320K (compy) fixed the problem. So that RAMBO must be 50% compliant with 130XE. I think it only supports CPU mode not both Antic and CPU mode. Which kind of makes sense because all the artifacts your seeing are the player missile graphics rendered by Antic. I've been looking for extended Ram for my 800XL that is full compy/130XE but only the original Novell?? can do it But requires a lot of soldering which I don't want to do. Sorry that's a bummer.
