[ Atariscne.org - News ] Past Glories - A lost and re-found Sillyventure Report from 2016

SV 2016

It’s another Sillyventure past times report. Another one that remained hidden in the archives until now. This one was mostly made, as it happened.

It was a pretty faithful diary of my alcohol consumption and state of intestinal health during that period. Oh, and quite a few party happenings as well.

I liked my writing from that period, seemed to be livelier back then and less, tired, than more recent efforts.

CiH - April 2025

#This bit is not in realtime!#

Good morning, evening, or dead of night, whenever you are reading this new Maggie issue. This is the official CiH authored realtime party report, with non-realtime later on additions, for the eagerly anticipated Sillyventure 2016 party. (Not to be confused with the realtime article, which is an entirely separate document created by a lot of people, sometimes in co-ordination with their fingers and brains, but often not!)

So is this going to be another party of our dreams, or a never-ending silicon nightmare? Well read on and discover.

[ Atariscne.org - News ] nrvpack 3.03 — Atari ST executable compressor

exxos has released version 3.03 of nrvpack, a free online executable compression service for Atari ST PRG/APP/TOS/TTP files. Upload a file and get five compressed variants to choose from, each with different size/speed tradeoffs. 

The packer and all 68000 decompression stubs were written from the ground up. Months of development went into the compression engine — including optimal parsing with dynamic programming, lit-cost sweeps, context-width tuning, and extensive testing of preprocessing transforms and encoding strategies to squeeze every last byte out of typical 68k executables. 

On large real-world programs the best format achieves around 2.75:1 compression ratio. A fast-depack option is also available that decompresses in under a second on a stock 8MHz 68000. All formats support colour-cycling raster bars during decompression and run on any ST/STE/TT/Falcon.

The service is free and requires an exxos forum login.
