[ Demozoo<\/b> ] Over 7.500 BBStros preserved!<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the years, the coverage of BBStros on Demozoo has steadily grown. And with forgotten release archives being discovered all the time, there is no end in sight. Especially in the first half of the 1990s, BBStros were made in quite large numbers for MS-DOS. Those numbers steadily declined towards the end of the decade, when both MS-DOS and bulletin board systems ultimately making way for Windows and the internet.
\nThere are now over 7.500 DOS-BBStros<\/a> listed at Demozoo. That includes unique BBStros, their variations (listing different affils, unmasked vs. masked telephone numbers etc.), as well as exectutables which list different boards that were affiliated with a specific group.
\nBesides having added most of these BBStros to Demozoo, Sensenstahl has constantly updated a file archive since 2018, contained all the BBStros. However, after reaching the number of 7.500 entries, it was about time to sort all BBStros alphabetically for those who want to get them all in one convenient ZIP archive<\/a> (along with a few BBStros for other systems).<\/p>\n", "pubDate": "Fri, 15 May 2026 21:36:01 +0200", "url": "https:\/\/news.scene.org\/news\/328\/over-7-500-bbstros-preserved" }, { "id": 327, "title": "Outline 2026 live", "contents": "

The sky is the limit! Following the success of the Drone Show at Evoke 2025<\/a>, we are now taking the next steps towards making a Drone Compo happen this year.<\/p>

As one can imagine, this comes with a set of technical, organizational and legal challenges compared to a traditional compo. Because of that, we want to share an early overview of where things stand, what to expect as a participant and how to set up your workflow for success. A detailed writeup by mop, along with a video tutorial and last year's show file by newemka can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>

Since we do not know what the future brings, consider this a \"once in a lifetime\" opportunity to use the sky as your canvas. Remote entries are allowed!<\/p>\n

DBRA and the Cost Model Balancing Act<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you write assembly for the m68k, dbra is just there<\/em>. Put your count in a data register, end your loop with dbra dN,.label. Four bytes, twelve cycles per iteration on 68000, no flag dance, no comparison. Your loops naturally form around the instruction.<\/p>\n

C\/C++ does not work that way. The natural loop in C is for (i = 0; i < N; i++) or while (cond). Neither says \"count down and exit when you wrap\", well, while can. But a counted-up loop with an unsigned comparison is what the language naturally models, and that is what GIMPLE mostly produces. Turning that into a dbra is a backend job, and requires carefully written code. And GCC, for reasons we will get to, mostly stopped doing it for m68k.<\/p>\n\n", "pubDate": "Fri, 08 May 2026 18:27:01 +0200", "url": "https:\/\/news.scene.org\/news\/323\/gcc-for-asm-experts-and-c-c-intermediates-part-6" }, { "id": 322, "title": "Confirm your consent for the Art of Coding demoscene UNESCO nomination", "contents": "

Chipo Django 3 is now available in its final version.<\/p>\n

There were reports of a buggy replay, so I took apart the Lance replayer once again and (hopefully) fixed every known issue. This new version now runs the latest version of the ProTracker Replay 2.3f by 8bitbubsy using the Lance Paula emulation. (Both the Acorn and Amiga side also had some different bugs fixed)<\/p>\n

The replayer source code is available here.<\/a><\/p>\n

And special Thanks to evil for recording both the party and final version for youtube!<\/p>\n
