Hi. I'm in need of a blank standard disk image, unformatted. I'm having problems with the images created with Adam Image Manager. Would someone be kind enough to post an image here? Thanks!

Hi.
I'm in need of a blank standard disk image, unformatted. I'm having problems with the images created with Adam Image Manager.
Would someone be kind enough to post an image here?
Thanks!

I saw the video they did about this on Youtube. Fairly interesting. I am not savy enough to know if the ADAM could do something other than the BMP... Which, don't get me wrong, I love the BMP but the size starts to significantly limit what can fit on one normal image, especially if you already have...

Ack! What kind of changes are we talking about?
For Adamed, I actually wrote my own VDP routines using the Z80 ports directly, so it should be fine. On the other hand, the Turbo Pascal extensions used the standard VDP routines provided with the Adam CP/M, so I take it these will need to be modified...

Nice work!
I hope there won't be any compatibility issues with Adamed and Turbo Pascal!

That can be done quite easily with the Turbo Pascal graphics, sound and control extensions I created for it. One of the added functionality is the ability to load a bitmap image and overlay it with graphic and text content. Perfect for a visual novel :) On a side note, Turbo Pascal is a very user-fr...

Could this be set to advance with a button push instead of automatically? :?: It should be very trivial to add that feature. Replace the following code snippet Delay(2000); if KeyPressed then begin {Restore VDP settings} inline($CD/$66/$DA); close(ImgLib); halt; end; with repeat until KeyPressed; a...

Looking good! How readable is your pseudo-80 column? Unless by that you mean your split-screen scheme?

I tested the images on a real system, and they work fine although there is still a little shift in the second image which might be related to a conversion issue. I use Adamed because it is so much easier to work with than the dreadful Ed :) As of the Image manager, I think it's a bug in that program...

So I putzed around with this and it looks like you did not use the Adamed text editor (http://smartbasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7) to create the IMAGE.LIB file. The Slideshow program requires the proprietary file structure of Adamed for IMAGE.LIB in order to load the images properly. When I d...
