    Apologies for the very late reminder... Just a reminder for the Atari BBS community zoom chat for tonight, Friday, April 19th 2024 at 8pm Eastern. For more information and the proposed agenda, go to http://www.ataribbs.com/zoomchat This is also the link to the zoom meeting itself (it will automatically forward from 15 minutes before until four hours after the meeting starts). As you well know, the agenda is always subject to change and the whims of whoever actually attends, but what is planned is... Followup discussions on AtariAge BBS Guru Club threads. I may have just found a decent VT52 editor sitting around on my own hard drive! More fun with SEXPOTS? Hell's BBS Demo (for the ST) And whatever else we find ourselves discussing! I apologize for the late notice but still I hope to see you there!

  4. No worries... Just wanted to make you aware of an issue that could potentially be impacting.
  5. Unfortunately I do not have anything on 25pin DB.. any real drive I have is 50pin or 68pin. A fellow on the Bluescsi discord has this working on Link2 device same computer. so it should but he is using ICD 6.5.5 which I of course have tried as well. No joy yet.
  6. @Shift838 try this scsi loader and see if it works.
  7. Watched this movie a couple of months back. Had it on in the background while working from home one day. I actually tried to stop at Lowery Barcade on Waters Ave. after work last Friday, but they don't open till 5PM on weekdays.
  8. From This is Pete: Hunter's Moon: multidirectional shoot 'em up Armalyte: horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up Hawkeye: run and gun platformer Snare: top-down action puzzle... thing Retrograde: part horizontal scrolling Defender-esque shooter, part platformer Creatures: Platformer with puzzles Summer Camp: Collectathon platformer Heatseeker: technically a platformer, but one of the weirdest games you'll ever play Creatures II: More platform puzzles with a few more minigames Winter Camp: Multi-genre action/puzzle thing Nobby the Aardvark: Platformer with some levels that play from different perspectives https://evercade.co.uk/cartridges/thalamus-collection-1/ Sounds like a good mix! Looking forward to it.
  9. SPACE CAVERN looks like a good one! And the labels look nice!
  10. Atari 600XL in Original Box System is new and unused. The plastic around the computer and the way the cords are wrapped show it was never used. The tape on the outside of the box has come off, and has some wear. Internally, the styrofoam was still taped, but I did remove this just to verify the contents where all there and unused. I could test it, but then it would be opened, so I have left it this way. For this reason (only) it is untested. If the buyer would like me to test it before shipping, I will do so and refund if it does not work, before I ship it out. This looks like the non-mylar mechanical keyboard variant, which is nice! Any other questions, just ask! Asking $180 + shipping.
  11. Because AtariArtist is designed to work with the Atari Touch Tablet. The tablet just generates X and Y values as paddle input. It's up to the software to decide which paddle represents X and which one represents Y. If AtariArtist sees paddle(0) as X and paddle(1) as Y, that's what it'll use, but a KoalaPad, for example. may invert that so that paddle(1) is X and paddle(0) is Y. Similarly, the X or Y inputs can be read left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top. It's up to the software to decide which direction is the 'correct' orientation for a given axis.
  12. Not to mention that he has a screenshot of his eBay feedback in the item photos. Anytime that crops up, run - don't walk - away. Even if the seller is legit, they're probably a total nutter and will end up on your doorstep one day wanting to check up on the machine that they sold you.
  13. Anything think the N64 may represent the "ceiling" for MiSTer? I haven't tried PS1 or Saturn yet, all earlier consoles I've played on here felt virtually flawless. N64, though... just feels a bit off. I did some reading to see if there's some combo of settings I can play around with, but nothing stuck out. I did see a couple of references to the developer saying something like "nothing more I can do given the limitations" but not sure if that's accurate, out of context, etc.
  14. @DEANJIMMY Always liked CHOPPER COMMAND I was never that good at it till I watched a YouTuber showing how to beat the game. It’s not a cheat, you have to work for it. Just a technique that works. Took me about three hours to complete! One of very few games I managed to beat.
  15. Holy wow, the peripheral tester says my Y values are inverted?! X values are fine, buttons are fine, but the top of the tablet is the maximum Y value and the bottom is the minimum?! And yet it still works in AtariArtist
  16. Using rufus I was able to upgrade from Win10 to Win11 on my VCS800
  17. https://www.atarimania.com/faq-atari-400-800-xl-xe-what-graphics-tablets-were-produced-for-the-atari_61.html Quote: Atari Touch Tablet CX77 - Shipped with AtariArtist cartridge RX8053 (Illustrator product by Island Graphics, Atari Touch Tablet version) - Also shipped with CX8104 Atari 810/1050 Master Diskette II disk (DOS 2.0S) - Similar to the popular, earlier KoalaPad, but returns reversed y-position values compared to the KoalaPad/Animation Station tablets - Device measures 7.5" x 9.5" x 1.25" - Drawing surface measures 5" x 6.5" - A list of compatible software is elsewhere in the FAQ list.
  18. Due to the rank participation of late I won't be able to do a Homebrew HSC for the Inty. That would prove to be even worse as most people won't have the games or the ability to download them and play them. I will put together a 20th season for the Inty HSC. This will occur either in the Fall of 2024 or the Winter of 2025 (I haven't decided yet). After that I will take a break from moderating the Inty HSC and see if someone else can take over the reigns. Maybe someone else can get this club off life support? 🤷‍♂️🥺
  19. The cartridge could, conceivably, be injected with some form of caulk, foam, gel, or epoxy. This would have to be done with the cartridge assembled in order to reach all of the potential voids within, but would definitely stop the rattles. Weight would increase, but it's a small price to pay for correcting Atari's original mistake. Mashed potatoes could also be used, but gravy should go in first so that it can't leak out of the slot where the cartridge's edge connector is.
  20. Adjusting from 60Hz to 50Hz isn't trivial in most cases (I mean, in terms of ColecoVision). Music playback is fairly easy to adjust, but movement of all the screen elements might be a big headache. I feel sorry for all PAL CV users out there, as they keep playing everything 20% slower than it should be.
  21. All sold! I still have an 800XL and 600XL in the box.
