Typing my way through the games

[Wenlock]

Yep, done all the demos now, even Jim`s teapot.

Done Pukman, done Yapoker. The remaining games are all 20k plus so lots of typing.

Now using the PS2 and typing from the PC screen, else its lotsa paper and lotsa ink.

One of my recently acquired PS2 mem cards died.  Comes up as unformatted.  Reformats on the PS2 but dies again after a while.

ooh, the teapot!  I've typed all those numbers in at least twice myself - what a nightmare!

DATA statements, a fave hate.

I remember many complaining about typos in data statements.
Hex poked into mem to setup m/l subs were the worst.

Did more testing on the 'dead' PS2 mem card, copying a large file results in 'Copy Failed' and corrupt data on the card.

Hm, definately got a problem then.

The RPG is madder than a bucket of frogs!  Shockwave put a lot into it, but it was 8 years ago now that anyone did anything to it.

My PS3 Died last week, looks many of the progs are on on card or another so wont have much.

Meantime I`m using a clapped out PS2 that only reads DVDs and not all of them.

Hopefully my PS3 is back by the end of the week.

Should`ve posted when the PS3 landed back.  No probs, all the YABASIC was on a SD card I'd been using to get my typing to the PC to search for typos.

I want to get the other Pacman listing running as it looks a dead ringer for the original.

Lot of typing in that one so I don't expect to finish anytime soon.

Still got one final boss battle in Ratchet and Clank, tough one, need to get some weapons up to the highest level.
