  1. Past hour
  2. Hi! It is needed if you want the cassette audio to go through the "DVI data islands" (HDMI) interface, that should be the main use case. Also, people would probably want to decode the two-tone data to SIO, so a little audio processing is necessary. Have Fun!
  3. There isn’t a way in the AtariOS to play your own ROMs. You’re pretty much going to be limited to the IP Atari currently has control over. If playing ROMs is what you’d like to do on your VCS, PC mode is the answer. Put an OS on a USB drive, install an emulator and there you go.
  4. I think some of the scoffing at the 2600+ and its price point is that you aren't playing the carts. It's a glorified AtGames product that plays roms, and a way to get people to buy reproduction carts that are getting dumped. They could just as easily remove that cart port, lower cost, and just sell roms at a discounted price to run on the device. However, doing that means you aren't buying Pong for the 100th time at a $40 price tag. I don't think FPGA is a fad. If my Atari 2600 and 7800 die I'm not getting a 2600+. I will just emulate at that point. I don't need the illusion or inconvenience of plugging in a cart to enjoy the game.
  5. Strange that it doesn't work for you, since it has the same technique as the Turbo 2000 which is to turn off RD5. 😉 Dmos.car Altirra does not have support for cartridges that must shut down RD5. 😉
  6. I found another nes advantage. Dont remember this movie however.
  7. I wish I could live until year 3043. That year there will be a solar eclipse on Dec 23, and from what I understand, Christmas Day and Eid al Fitr will coincide on the same day for the first time since 1413 AD.

  8. Hi! My question is: what are you trying to accomplish? Your program is still very hard to understand, you still have lines (like line 30 and line 70) that do not do anything, you are using variables instead of numbers in line 40 (I=R instead of I=0), the Q stores 6 different arrays of data, most of that not necessary, the color table is not appropriate for graphics 11, etc. ¿Do you want a faster mandelbrot program? There are faster languages for that. ¿Do you want to learn BASIC XE? Then, your code is not written using any BASIC XE special statements. Have Fun!
  9. Best if you run it with Altirra or if you have real hardware & BASIC XE.
  10. Whoever originally said that "Xbox is dead" rumor should probably doublecheck their sources instead of using it as rage bait.

    To put it simply, Xbox is very much alive and apparently there is talk of an upcoming Xbox handheld, which could mean more competition for the Switch and the Steam Deck. Finger crossed on this one.

      Here's a better idea since MS has been publishing their games on other platforms besides Windows and Xbox lately:

      🦀 EXCLUSIVITY IS FUCKING STUPID 🦀

      Stop being like a bunch of blind-faith Nintendo fanboys. Jesus.

  11. Yesterday
  12. Rasta converted images look amazing on a CRT I have a Dell LCD monitor here and RC images look horible yuk! Emulation seems to be the middle ground. I'm wondering how well RC images look on the Atari 400 mini with a good HDMI display? Somebody please inform me I bet a good old CRT TV or a CRT Monitor would be fine.
  13. Another pricy addition came in today. It slows you down a lot when most of what’s left to find are the rare ones. Wasn’t sure it worked on the plus (the official list still says no), but my copy started right up and played just fine. 👍🏼
  14. This looks like a really good match 65w 19v 3.42A 5.5x2.5 barrel https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Charger-Toshiba-Satellite-Portege/dp/B08N5QF2HV/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2UQ9U18O5NAPR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bzmWCNUfGiU-a5JAYJZAdGL6ZEfg5L5oPdP6ZWKYkddwK6Isw_AG8Epxncw9oFUPom1tR_auz7TpYLv-btaCOxr0jt0uMglVje-BOC5bqFBYSFycPgw-xgGnIQNAu64ByLRw8wdH1O5lGP271StYpVq32jEAKCRu_91TMyfaxqmA8VGKwZKCCVCCJmLUt2ZEvDLaBnfSx3OD10zB9MnW0ZoNRK_imr9JedUBrCXjz_g.40FlLtSc_LSungoZEln8GYCdu019ZawxRQF_8iUVJr0&dib_tag=se&keywords=19+volt+3.42a+power+supply&qid=1711669397&sprefix=19+volt+3.42a+power+supply%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-4
  15. Hey mate. Been busy in a new job (shift work). Good to see your skinny ass again. (That didn't sound right!)
  16. eBay has an international program through their ground advantage shipping. If the seller sees a rate, then I ship to them. No form other than a customs code from the harmonized terif.
  17. Good condition. Tested 100% Keyboard is fine with original mylar. Asking $275 with original power supply and BASIC cart (if you need it) plus shipping from 30907 USA. Any questions, just ask!
  18. Oh, that reminds me, I need to refund a little bit of shipping for someone... This pisses me off. It has only happened to me once, and I adamantly refused. My shipping charges are what eBay calculates. Period. If someone does not like the charge, they can contact me ahead of time so I can explain, or they can just pass on. The only time I ever charged more to shipping was international, which I no longer do, because of the amount of time it took for customs forms and that I had to stand in line at the Post Office to ship. I have no idea if that is the case anymore as I stopped shipping internationally a long time ago (except to the Great White North.)
  19. I see. Do you think an admin would be able to unlock the post for editing? It's not to help me, it's to help whoever reads it later. I just happened to see this thread and thought maybe I could be helpful.
  20. Don't get discouraged - it's all coming along nicely.
  21. I love my EclaireXL. But some things that I think were missing: 1. PCB form factor that would fit in a 600XL or 800XL case with most ports lining up. 2. S-Video in addition to the truly superb HDMI/DVI. (I'm probably in a minority, but being able to connect to CRT monitors with S-video is still pretty awesome.) BTW, Panos made a couple of the S-Video adapters, IIRC. 3. Ability to attach a real Atari keyboard. If you've typed on a real Atari for 40+ years, your fingers *know* where all those special keys are. IIRC, the EclaireXL will run at something like 30+ MHz, although I no longer think that is terribly important. A mere 7 MHz makes for a very snappy machine.
  22. Such a shame that the Super Off Road: Baja sequel was a dud. The original arcade port on the SNES is (in my opinion) the definitive edition even though it only has a 2 player option instead of 3 like the cabinet.
  23. Hi @reifsnyderb, Yes. This is how I wired it (I was doing different tests): I made a mistake. This what I had used: 22pf https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-BC-Components/A220J15C0GH5TAA?qs=x%2FgbKjZ2T%2FNkboQf1eaA0g%3D%3D
  24. Party Trivia Game - Vol. 13 - James Bond 5 & Austin Powers Movies The final two James Bond movies and the 1967 Bond-spoof movie - Casino Royale. Plus three Austin Powers movies to round things out. I've also added some color to the menu and gotten rid of the semi-annoying flashing bar at the bottom.

  25. Roots you just love throwing confused emojis at my threads/posts don't you , no one has come close to sending me as many confused emojis as you do , at least ask me what exactly are you confused about next time ok 😉
