GLITCHES ARTSTUDIO 128
Maybe they only occur on our computer, but in ART 48 everything works fine. So, let's begin:
1) After uploading or inventorying the screen, when trying to use zoom, the program "crashes".
2) When working with windows, if the last one goes off the screen, it also crashes in 48 kb.
3) It is impossible to set your own music lasting 20 patterns of 64 notes each.
From the editor: in the versions of ART STUDIO 128 that I have at my disposal, the above-mentioned glitches are absent, but the ability to play music is also missing.
A little about the versions that I have:
The first version from IndSoft '91. Upon first launch, it allows you to install it according to your hardware tweaks. This includes control selection, printer interface type selection, configuration for a specific printer type, and even the ability to unload the installed program to a disk or cassette of your choice. After loading, follow the installer prompts!
The second program is less advanced, but it has an advantage. It has a quick installer built-in. When loading, hold down CAPS SHIFT and you will enter the installer menu. Unfortunately, in it, you can only choose the control type.
So, as they say, choose what is better.
