Hi Todd, Ive been quite busy but Ive implemented the copy paste feature you mentioned. Ill try to upload the new version this weekend!
Hey Todd congrats on getting the v4 that sounds awesome!
About the screensaver you can drop a fred80.cfg next to the FRED-80 binary to override defaults. So create that file next to the fred80.m68k file.
Set ss_timeout (in seconds) to change it, or set it very high to effectively disable it.
# fred80.cfg ss_timeout = 30
Let me know if that works for you!
If you look at https://fred80.dev/examples.html there are a bunch of examples you can copy paste into fred80. Ive not tried copying and pasting from the website into fred80 on my v4 before though!
Thanks!
I used to do a LOT of programming back in the day... back in the 80's and 90's -- but really nothing since Amiga went away. I mainly used compiled languages - HiSoft Basic back in the day, as well as PowerBASIC & PowerBASIC Console Compiler (PBCC) for PC Applications (PowerBASIC is a very VERY fast complier, with very good compact code output)
Anyway - I'm going to take some time to get up to speed.. so we will see. I'm thinking of a strategy game, but would probably want and 800x600 screen, or a 1024x768 screenmode... so maybe having more flexibility on the SAGA screenmodes might be a feature.
It would be nice if all those example carts could be in a single download file, a zip or lha or something. It'd be good to learn by seeing what has already been done with Fred80, and so if there was a way to bundle up a directory of Carts (rather than manually cutting-and-pasting and putting them on a MicroSD card one at a time. So, I'd find it useful if we could send source code, or even if the Fred80 download would include a bunch of example carts, rather than having to cut-and-paste or type each one in manually.
That would be a useful thing I think.
