Website Links Page (Work in progress)

Post by PeterJ »

[mention]hikoki[/mention] kindly shared his collection of Spectrum related links which I have reformatted and added to a new page which is accessible from the forum footer.

We are aware that some of the links are no longer applicable and new ones need adding.

What I'm after is a volunteer with a basic knowledge of HTML who would be available to work through the file and remove any links which are dead, and maybe add any new ones they find.

Let me know if you want to help and I will email over the HTML source code.

Once we have removed the dead links, we can then move on to adding new stuff and actively maintaining it.

Thanks

app.php/website-links

If we don't have any interest in this, then I can easily remove it.

Hi, probably iy's best to look for alternative sites first instead of removing dead links. Some moved to github for example.

I'm going to upload a newer list ok? so watch this post later.

Edit:

A new list, https://yadi.sk/d/g-5SJ9IwXvvGuA
From now on it's it in your hands ;)

I have to apologise to [mention]hikoki[/mention],

He sent me an updated links page ages ago, and I have only today published it on the site.

If you would like to suggest any changes or additions please post here. Please provide four pieces of information:

Category
Link Text
Link
Is this a deletion, update or new entry

Category: Hardware
Link Text: SpectraNet
Link: http://spectrum.alioth.net/

The SpectraNet wiki is currently out of action and just displays a database error. The Github is still present @ https://github.com/spectrumero/spectranet
and the wiki can be read via the wayback machine @ https://web.archive.org/web/20200217045 ... /Main_Page.

I am hoping the wiki will be reinstated at some point so maybe keep the original URL in place, but add the two other URL's.

Thanks [mention]MonkZy[/mention]. Done. I'm only adding one URL per entry, so have chosen the GitHub one. Give me a shout when the Wiki is back up.

Can I ask if people find this page useful. I get very few update requests, so was wondering if it's worth keeping?

It is absolutely worth keeping, Peter!

It is a good list - is it currently linked to from other pages here ? I couldn't see it.

I could send a list of browser based emulators I compiled a couple of weeks ago, if that's a useful additional category

Thanks for the work.

[mention]PeterJ[/mention] is there a place for it on the main website? Something like the Tools page maybe (or an extension of it) might make it more visible. Is it easier to maintain as a forum page though?

Currently the Tools link takes you to a quite outdated list of emulators.

Anyhoo here are the links to some browser emulators, some are just from game archives designed to open from a list of games. I felt sure there was another browser based assembler / debugger / emulator, other than ASM80 but only found the clrhome assembler
