Title: Weatherscan Emulator (Download link)
Post by: BOLT96 on September 08, 2010, 05:57:45 PM
Hi, this may sound crazy but I am making a Weatherscan XL v1 emulator. Yes I am aware of Brians weatherscan v2 emulator right here at the forums, which of course was my very inspiration to make one, but mine will probably look shameful next to his. I desperately need the help of TWC experts like you guys. I need graphics (animated icons, maps) info about the XL (names of the fonts used, how LDL works). I am calling upon the kind help of you guys! Can anybody help me?  :dunno:

BTW I have my own forums here: http://www.weatherstar.forumotion.com (http://www.weatherstar.forumotion.com)

And my apologies admin if this is not the right place for this..

EDIT: I have most of what I need now

Looks like a great forum. I just signed up. I hope it becomes more active! I'd love to see a public WeatherSTAR emulator based in something other than PowerPoint. B)

I think 90% of the people with that program don't actually buy it

Well, do you not have 512mb of memory? If so you'll need to upgrade that.
