New updates to the Little Orphan Tomy Tutor site

New updates have been made to the Little Orphan Tomy Tutor site. The Tomy Tutor is an American home computer released ca. 1983 with strong hardware commonalities to the TI 99/4A. The Little Orphan focuses on the American Tomy Tutor, along with its Japanese cousins (the Pyuuta series), and offers a catalogue of hardware and software, programming information, technical documentation and links to related sites. Here's what's new or changed: - Pyuuta Jr. entry, featuring a complete description of this Japanese console version -- yes, I finally got one! Includes pictures, scans from the manual, and screen grabs of its surprisingly robust and user-friendly interface (for 1983, that is). - Stub entry for the Grandstand Tutors, the vanishingly rare UK variant. - New emulation section. This includes a special section on using the MESS Tomy Tutor driver (focused more towards the Mac, since I'm a Mac user, but with help for Windows users as well) and needed firmware and dumps, intended only for those with a legal right to the hardware, of course. Also includes TutorEm, the first true emulator (Windows-only), and incorporates Tutti as a museum piece (though people who do not own a Tomy Tutor can still use it to legally simulate the Tutor without ROMs). Alas, with this site release, I have chosen to officially freeze Tutti, the first Tomy Tutor simulator of any kind, at 0.3. It will still be left for download indefinitely because of its unique legal status, however. - Updated Incomplete Catalogue. Improved screenshots for many games, new shots for many more (including the believed-unreleased Gajigoji and Jack In The Box), and additional stub entries for hardware to come later. All of the American clone games have also been matched up to the Japanese originals. Also included links for the MSX and CoCo ports! - Additional Pyuuta screen shots. - Updated my personal trade list and the General and Pyuuta pages' histories, and made various custodial changes. Have fun! http://www.floodgap.com/retrobits/tomy/ / READY -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
