Ok, that didn’t last long. Another Release Candidate. I fixed one bug and added some additional stuff Peer wanted to look at. Why is it so “difficult” to do a “native packaged” version? Actually the native packaging is just one…
I have always, ALWAYS hated dynamic link libraries, dylibs, shared objects and any related entities. There might have been a time where such things might have been sensible – to save some precious memory on your hard disk. But even…
I pondered a bit whether to write a blog entry for this. But since the other possible Vectrex “work” would be getting on with Vectorblade – I’ll write a few sentences (Buhuuuu). On FB the question came up, whether a…

I was asked for some optimization hints for a “C” project. I made a video of some of my findings. See link below. Some additional points: “dp_” only really works for VIA IO ports (and BIOS RAM locations), since these…
