In case anyone cares, this appears to be a problem with my computer, not FIDE. I tested it on a different machine running XP and it works fine (as expected) so I have some sort of error in my hardware or setting that needs to be excoriated. John :-#)# On 2018/07/18 1:26 p.m., John Robertson wrote:
I've been using the 9010A only with the keyboard, however I am now finding that I have to run some scripts for servicing some old game boards - Pole Position 2 by Namco. By and large I can type the stuff in, but I wanted to use FIDE to both edit the code and upload it to my unit either via the USB mod or the Wi-Fi mod (back in 2015/2016 we talked about these).
Is anyone else using Quarterarcade's FIDE? I have a regular occurrence of the run-time error 68.
It is Windows based:
68 Device unavailable A hardware device or necessary requirement for the program is not being found. Verify all hardware and software required by the program is installed. If you continue to have the same issues verify the latest updates are installed for the program as well as any hardware device the program needs.
Anyone else found a solution or a cause for this?
James did leave the source code for FIDE:
https://app.assembla.com/spaces/FIDE/subversion/source/HEAD
I don't know if James is still hanging out here at TTL, but I certainly appreciate his FIDE program! Perhaps FIDE just isn't happy running over a network...or does it needs longer timeouts?
Thanks,
