Prevue Guide Forums

More nice finds guys. Need a favor: would someone so inclined kindly provide a zip of the unpacked versions of all the crunched/packed files from the 100% virgin version of the diskette? As far as I can see, that means the following files: PP40 - ESQ PP40 - C/SEL PP20 - CURDAY.DAT PP20 - NXTDAY.DAT ...

Thanks, Rudy. Looks very nice.

For anyone who wants it: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C0RO8B1G http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8RFJIMBU First link is the exact, processed audio version of the Prevue Guide theme used in the "saddest prevue ever" video. Second one is exactly the same as the first, but just with less EQ around...

Yeah, I saw all of them -- but just in time. Oh well. Might wanna just attach screen captures of each instead. Anyway, good finds. There's also the one I'm attaching. It backs up what I found in the other thread re: 1981 being the official start of all this. Guess it's September 1981 to be very spec...

Am impressed by your hex detective work and preparation to try unpacking the executables yourself, LocalH. You're old hat. I read the infection guide just for the fun of it. Reminded me of equally fun days in the x86 univese. Virus collections were great teachers by example for aspiring coders then....

So are you planning to write the server (feeder) and client (TCP/IP-to-serial relay receiver) applications in some cross-platform language that complies everywhere, like C? Will the server application support optionally doing its data stream output to a real hardware serial port (instead of to clie...

Some things noticed while tooling with prevue.adf in WinUAE: 1) You cannot select the forbidden scroll speeds on the Change Scroll Speed menu with any key ... except the up arrow key. 2) Shift-right_arrow and shift-left_arrow are undocumented for the Edit Attributes interface, but do work there for ...
