Spider Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 A bit out of my area. Are you able to temporarily use another 'retro' display for this ? I'm assuming the monitor you have obtained now via Santa was a PC VGA/SVGA type, rather than a legacy RGB one. The scan rates are quite different between the two, its even worse if you go back to ancient PC's aka pre 086's etc when you needed a different type of monitor again (iirc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 In regard to this post containing the Music and Carols .tzx files, what is not that obvious is that there are two pages of music. Pressing space will switch between each screen. The point here being, it does include "if I Were A Rich Man" in AY, of which an audio file is attached here, converted from a large 24mb .wav produced via Spectaculator's audio output to a sanely sized 2.5mb .mp3: rm.mp3 jetsetdanny and MtM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 And yes before anyone asks, in "Blue Peter" style... "Here's one I made earlier" Happy New Year 2022.tap 😊😊 Please load at conventional (or multiple of!) speed, i.e. disable flash/edge type loading to see the effect. jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did post a few thoughts but I don't on reflection think they would help. hmm. Did find this buried however, and it is sort of "on topic" with your monitor issue, its still relevant today although these modern times it is much more likely to be 1920x1200 or (if one can stretch a few more ££ to it) 3840x1600 jetsetdanny and MtM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtM Posted November 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hello All, Given the time of year thought it might be time to dust this thread off, as Christmas is clearly approaching - I have seen it in the supermarkets! How about some Christmas style demos and music being posted again? I can only apologise for my lack of ability in creating such materials but I know there are uber talented folks on here who can do it! It is still my plan one day when I have time to do an MM mod, called Manic Christmas, with 20 Christmas themed rooms etc and a suitable story to accompany it, but it will have to wait until I retire I expect 😉 SymbolShift, Spider and jetsetdanny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I only have the few tunes from last year still 😞 They are higher up in this topic but I can repost them. I did fix one damaged .tzx if I recall correctly.

Perhaps it is something you could start to do before "that time" allowing you to develop ideas and thoughts/designs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SymbolShift Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Speaking of Christmas... My favourite room in MM (from a visual perspective) has always been "The Endorian Forest". Many will disagree, but the hanging fruit items (or whatever they are) always reminded me of Christmas baubles.

jetsetdanny Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I like "The Endorian Forest" a lot, although I haven't associated it with Christmas until now, at least not consciously. SymbolShift and Spider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now what would be good , have those colour cycle like objects (but still deadly on contact) perhaps have them alternate between red/green/yellow or something ? Two colours might be easier.
