UBee512 Launcher UI - zbfairlane - 15-04-2026
Hi people, I am a nostalgic Microbee user who is infrequently using ubee512 and something I have found is that I am constantly having to relearn how to use it each time I get hit by a wave of nostalgia.
This is the reason I decided to build myself a UI launcher using tkinter that can scan my ubee folder for disk images and roms, and then builds the launch code. I can just hit the start button and get into whatever old game I decided to play or try writing some old basic code for a laugh.
Is anyone else interested in trying the launcher? If there is interest from other users I would be happy to share.
I have support for printing to a text file on the host computer from the microbee and I am working on integrating CP/M tools as well. But right now the launcher is working well for me on my linux host.

Your launcher sounds interesting, I'd give it a try but I'm on Windows only.

I am sure it wont be too hard to port it for windows. I'll look into it after I get it workig properly.

I'm interested. I have a Linux Mint box I use with ubee512.
Cheers!
