...from time to time, some thoughts need to get out...Farewell Patrick!
Author: Zeldin - written on 31.12.2014
Axis/Cascade is no more. We are all still shaken by the unexpected death of our friend and group mate Patrick aka Axis/Cascade. We wanted to express our sorrow, so I coded a little intro, which you can find in the C64 demo section of this page. The following text is a rough excerpt taken from the scroller:
Dear Patrick, may this be the condolence from the the group that was co-founded by you long time ago. We want to give you our last salute. I (Zeldin) know how much you were breathing the spirit of the scene. That's why I thought a goodbye demo would have made you happy. You and me exchanged lots of mails about how much we both enjoyed the good ol' days and of course: how much we miss them... It was this tie that emotionally connected us for over 15 years. Thanks for all your help in supporting the group and your indefatigable endeavour in spreading our name. Your tattoos were legendary! Thanks for your work on fb and youtube. Your channels were appreciated by a lot of people. Thanks for being such a good chap. You'll be sorely missed!!!
Mach's gut, Patrick... den Adler im Herzen, sge4ever!

This week on 10MARC Doug is finally getting to review his new ReSDMAC FPGA replacement for the Amiga 3000. Just pop this little guy to replace your original SDMAC 2.0 and suddenly you can use your onboard SCSI with your accelerator. As an added bonus, it appears to speed up the SCSI fairly substantially.

06.12.2024 - A C64 Sprite Multiplexer - in BASIC!? - video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
The Commodore 64's VIC-II video chip allows sprite multiplexing: dynamically re-using the sprites (or MOBs: Movable Object Blocks) to display more than the natural limit of 8. Normally sprite multiplexing requires the use of fast machine language code, but in 2008 programmer S.E.S. of Genesis Project managed the feat with a BASIC program: no assembly code required. But it's no ordinary use of BASIC either, and might actually be more complicated than the machine code version. Today we'll take a deep look at how this BASIC sprite demo works.
