Hello! Thus is the discussion page. Thought it'd be useful to have something of the sort. Just enter your comments or suggestions, but for new entries always use the headline feature ('== Headline =='). New entries must always be appended at the end of the page. And you can reply to comments by using a ':' or '::' or ':::' the deeper you go...

== Dedicated forum? ==
Heya guys,

Since the MediaWiki's discussion capabilities are limited at best, what would you think if I installed a basic and simple BB system next to it? And, if so, any suggestions as to which BB? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 14:36, 13 September 2006 (CEST)
:I think it's a good idea, but maybe we can ask the guys at CPCZone to setup a forum in the board system? Then we can use our already created accounts and you wouldn't have to do the administration =). --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 15:01, 13 September 2006 (CEST)
::Yeah, I thought about it, but I'm not sure if it'd be good for Malc - totally plugging another site. It'd be much easier for us anyway, but I feel it'd be better if we had a whole solution here :) [[User:89.210.45.22|89.210.45.22]] 17:08, 13 September 2006 (CEST)

== Categories ==
Please remember about adding proper category for new articles(I'm not without fault here), as it allows much easier cataloging of similar articles.--[[User:Torn|Torn]] 17:56, 3 September 2006 (CEST)

: Sorry about that Torn!!...
::Hehe, You don't have to. Categories are only for the readers' convinience, they aren't some kind of "Wiki-law".;) And even if the were, I'm in no position to enforce them. :P --[[User:Torn|Torn]] 14:39, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
:::I always forget to add the categories in the initial article and have to edit it again, but I think it's quite important to have them. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 19:11, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

== Why cant i upload MP3 files ==

Seems i cant upload MP3 files.. I want to add some speech examples of the SPO256 and MEA8000 chips!

:Yeah, and also PNG, ZIP and others. The problem is known already, and Gryzor is working on it...--[[User:Torn|Torn]] 14:39, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

== The complete I/O map for the CPC ==

How do people think about making a complete list of what devices is using which addresses in the I/O map? --[[User:Ygdrazil|Ygdrazil]] 15:22, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
:Great idea! --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 15:34, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
:: Indeed, this would be extremely useful. This is, how it looks for the MSX: [http://www.work.de/nocash/portar.htm Portar MSX Tech Doc]. But a short overview would be fine for the beginning. I can make a first step and paste TFMs I/O list here. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:18, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
::: Added: [[I/O_Port_Summary]] -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 19:12, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

== Category "Stub" ==

Please put every article, which is not finished and contains text like "please add more infos here" or something like this, into the category "Stub", so that other people, who may know more, can find these articles and extend them. The problem is, that not all "short pages" are such stubs, and so it would be difficult to find unfinished articles without the category. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 17:52, 5 September 2006 (CEST)

== Multi lingual ==

Maybe we should introduce a category for each contry... so that every article is member of a cataory where there are information in a given language! What do you think?
: Some time ago we decided not to introduce multi lingual support, as this would split up our forces too much. So only english articles should be accepted. Even with only one language there is still too much to do ;-) -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 20:20, 7 September 2006 (CEST)

== Bajtek ==
Oh my, I've really fuckup something! See: [[Talk:Bajtek]] and please advise my what to do now, as now '''even article''' won't show-up...--[[User:Torn|Torn]] 14:36, 6 September 2006 (CEST)
:OK, problem solved. Thanks goes to the Ygdrazil, who made a Copy and allowed me to experiment with recovering the orginal article. Now, the [[Bajtek Copy]] should be deleted and I can re-upload the picture(only this time, much much smaller ;P).--[[User:Torn|Torn]] 14:54, 6 September 2006 (CEST)

== Utility to make animated GIFs? ==

Does anyone of you guys know a nice utility(or another way) for making animated GIFs? --[[User:Ygdrazil|Ygdrazil]] 10:47, 7 September 2006 (CEST)

== Demos online ==

BACK FROM HOLIDAY!
Hi everybody.. Nice to see so much activity the last two weeks... wow we are now the largest 8bit wiki!
And I hope it will stay this way! I am in the process of scanning my remaining manuals(about 12)..

I have talked with Ygdrazil about putting all known demos on wiki as stubs complete with pictures etc... Any oppinion/thoughts in doing so?--[[User:CPCLER|CPCLER]] 13:55, 11 September 2006 (CEST)

I would like to upload the third issue but it isn´t possible due to it´s filesize. Could/would anybody of the admins allow to upload this file?

: I'm really not sure about this; the wiki is not supposed to be a file server for all things CPC. Manuals and hard-to-find stuff are welcome, but a contemporary fanzine? I don't think so, really... Since it's hosted elsewhere anyway! [[User:89.210.45.22|89.210.45.22]] 17:41, 12 September 2006 (CEST)

89.210.45.22:

ehh from wich month was this happy computer? April, eh?

: I dont think this is a joke.. but i remember a article in CPCI from around april 90 or april 91 where the feature was a PC sidecar! Made by a man called A. Pril :-)

: Well, it clearly states that it's not exactly an emulator, but a proper -more or less- PC which acts as a parasite on the CPC, using it as an I/O terminal. So it's not impossible, though I'm sure I've never heard of it before! [[User:89.210.45.22|89.210.45.22]] 17:39, 12 September 2006 (CEST)

Two questions:

Does it make sense to seperate follow-ups? E.g. if we take Titus Software and Crazy Cars to seperate it into Crazy Cars 1, Crazy Cars 2, Crazy Cars 3? Should it be Crazy Cars (1-3) or only Crazy Cars?

:Hmm, I am not sure if there is enough content to warrant different articles. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 20:13, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

:: I second that. I believe series of games should be on one page... [[User:89.210.45.22|89.210.45.22]] 20:18, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

There is a quite good article about Ocean Software on wikipedia.org. Would it be ok if this article is simply copied and modified a little bit?

:As long as you respect the "GNU Free Documentation License" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License) there shouldn't be any problem with it. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 20:13, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

:: Ah-hah! I meant to look for this when Prodatron suggested copying the spanish SymbOS page!!! I think the important part is this:
::''You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.''

== [[Beau Jolly]] ==

Just a joke, which resulted from the discussion on CPC Zone. Must be replaced with a serious article or deleted. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:55, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

: I think it's a harmless joke. Eventually, yes, it will be deleted, but it's no harm for now. I think that our wiki and community is still small enough to afford a bit of fun :) Thanks for the tagging, though! [[User:89.210.45.22|89.210.45.22]] 20:15, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
