Re: RPi-sd card builder trouble-shooting
I tried using or other othe supposedly easy ways when I started Pi-ing a couple of years ago; never got it to work. Seems much simpler to me to use a command line approach. The good news is that once you've typed the stuff into the terminal once you have it in your history and judicious use of the c...

A debug enabled VM for Scratch beta14
I've just uploaded a vm built with debugging enabled to - https://github.com/raspberrypi/scratch/blob/master/NuScratchBeta14DEBUG.tgz This will be useful should any of those "it crashes out to the OS with no message" type problems arise. If you already know how to use GDB you'll need no instruction....

Re: The Beta Strikes Back; NuScratch beta release
New release at
https://github.com/raspberrypi/scratch/ ... Beta14.tgz
Should fix quite a few things and be a bit faster.

Re: Does NuScratch save projects ok across the network/to se
It's looking like we can no longer extract 1.4 compatible files from the MIT server - not even for some projects I uploaded myself.

Re: MU0 Computer emulator in Scratch

Just in case, I tried with a couple of dumb-demos I had made a month or so ago and I can't retrieve the 1.4 files for them either! {Later} Whoops, I hadn't realised one needed to be signed in to even...

Re: The Beta Strikes Back; NuScratch beta release
Scenario: nsb13: run the script, switch to presenation mode; expected is that the variable is toggling visibility. Current behavior: the script stops, the script gets red border. OK, but in your test plan you mention the problem only happens with an external source of variable updates? Exactly what...

Re: The Beta Strikes Back; NuScratch beta release
I agree that the sound problems, particularly, need to be addressed to make an acceptable release. There's only so much I can do within the realm of Scratch & Squeak; once the sound sample are sent off to ALSA it's out of my hands and anything needing fixing requires attention from people that know...

Re: The Beta Strikes Back; NuScratch beta release
Sound quality - I've been investigating the change in sound quality and it seems a bit odd. Running on my B+ or a B with recent Raspbian versions makes the sound not very good. Running on the very same B with an older - but only 4 months or so at a guess - OS sounds a lot better. You can test witho...

ALSA sound quality issues
I don't do a great deal with sound output on my Pi, really just checking that the new Scratch makes the right noises. I don't expect fabulous quality without an external sound widget but it seems that some time recently something has happened to make the sounds I hear go from OK to Yuck. I double ch...

Looks like I fixed that part ok. I've even managed to save a couple of projects to scratch.mit.edu and download the 1.4 format files and reload them ok.
