  1. Past hour
  2. As promised, here is a direct capture of the Instrumentarium music playing on the 400 mini. I am curious to know what you think of the audio quality 🙂
  3. Just seen this topic. My first thought was this. Pacman on "one line" https://abagames.github.io/crisp-game-lib-11-games/?pakupaku
  4. Rich coming from someone who lives in England, but okay 😜
  5. Cheers for the steer, but looks like it’s a Windows-only update process, so a non-starter for me I’m afraid. Looks like a PS4 controller should work with the Mini, so I’ll be covered regardless, but if it gets arsey about loading my USB key stuff then that will be a deal-breaker.
  6. I guess there has to be at least 1 good thing about living in Scotland 🤣
  7. I fully agree . This is massive. And completely inexcusable. Only chance I see here is an immediate firmware update and an official excuse. This not only to the customers but also to the licensor. Actually a licensed M.U.L.E. "hardware" was to me the one single reason why I bought the 400-mini thing.
  8. And....just had notification its arriving by 2:30pm
  9. I've put the manufacturing info for these into svn: v2b v3 sidmax quad eliminator adaptor board http://www.64kib.com/atarixlfpga_svn/trunk/atari_800xl/atari_chips/hardware/ In the final emails I sometimes did not attach the final eagle files, so they might be slightly behind the Gerber files. e.g. there was a spur removal fix for v3. Also the schematic is missing for sidmax. I need to dig these out off my other computers...
  10. Wow... If that's really the case and withouth blowing things out of proportion, this is inexcusable. I mean, you pay the license for an iconic game and you just pick an unverified image without playing it through? There are only 25 titles, not 50. Also, is the team aware of the .atx format and the preservation efforts of some people? Feels so amateurish... This may be the reason Flip and Flop is the cart version and not the superior disk release. Could somebody check whether Boulder Dash has that prolonged "ping" sound at the very beginning of the game? I heard this in one of the reviews and this would mean it's a cracked file as well.
  11. I'd steer clear for now. I hope the one with your 400 Mini is ok. You do have the option of buying a Mayflash USB joystick adapter, that's what I use with my laptop, Stella and CX40/CX40+. Works flawlessy and is cheaper than buying the stand alone USB stick too. MAYFLASH SEGA Genesis Mega Drive Controller Adapter for Nintendo Switch & PC Windows SEGA Genesis SEGA MD Adapter MF104: Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games You will need to update it to the latest firmware.
  12. According to Amazon delivery tracking my package arrived at the final station at 2am this morning. Still not gone out for delivery, expected by 10pm today. What is the actual benefit of pre-ordering from Amazon? Could've placed an order yesterday morning and have it delivered same day.
  13. According to their website, there are no deliveries in England, but they’re operating as normal in Scotland.
  14. According to the website there isn’t outside of Scotland 😁
  15. Just addiing here what I posted elsewhere. I think the 400 Mini is currently a joystick lottery... I did some further testing on my laptop, I am sad to say it's the joystick and I highly doubt that its fixable with software. To test the stick I used the CCS64 emulator and Bruce Lee, things I am super familiar with. I kept getting the same ducking down issue. In the emulator options you can adjust sensitivity in each axis... I was unable to eradicate the ducking down issue with even the lowest setting (99% for that axis, 100% turns it off). Sorry guys, the stick is duff. I'd love a replacement, sadly I may have to send the whole package back, which is wasteful, and there's no guarantee that a replacement would include a good joystick. This issue must be accepted by the manufacturer swifty, with replacements sticks sent to everyone with the problem, but time is ticking on my return to Amazon... It seems my most sensible course of action is to send it all back for a refund and hope for a hardware revision later. Shame.
  16. This is all a bit concerning, though I have to wonder if it’s a known issue by the manufacturer and accounts for the monthlong delay in production of the standalone stick? Without some clarification from the people making this thing, I can’t see how I wouldn’t cancel my order of the stick on its own, which is a shame as the idea of a USB CX40 is quite appealing for use with one/no button arcade games on MAME. Guess I’ll find out today when I get my mini!
  17. Nope, it’s not the 400 Mini software that is at fault here. I did some further testing on my laptop, I am sad to say it's the joystick and I highly doubt that its fixable with software. To test the stick I used the CCS64 emulator and Bruce Lee, things I am super familiar with. I kept getting the same ducking down issue.

  18. I'm already done uploading my May 2022 gaming videos playlist. That month I just played Game Boy, PC, PS1, and NES. I completed Beyond the Beyond and worked a lot on Pokemon Red, the Sonic World fan game, and Super Mario Bros.: Level-Headed (a randomizer).

     

  19. I've just open my svn security settings! So you can for example access the VHDL: http://www.64kib.com/atarixlfpga_svn/tag/pokeymax_127/atari_800xl/atari_chips/pokeyv2/ I haven't been through any tidied anything etc. I'll upload the schematic/board and manufacturing info over this weekend. edit: Actually some hardware info is there. No v3, no gerbers and I'm not sure if v2 is up to date yet: http://www.64kib.com/atarixlfpga_svn/tag/pokeymax_127/atari_800xl/atari_chips/hardware/
  20. I don't think Royal Mail deliver today (Good Friday)
  21. Usually, users connect CS1's white line, to the computer's speaker jack.🔊
  22. Today
  23. Any way to.make a universal high score file? That can be shared?
  24. At least it’s on the way. My order, placed in January, still hasn’t even been despatched. Thanks Amazon.
  25. Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Does that mean that these online cassette archives are best ignored? Or is there a way to take advantage of them?
  26. Here a screenshot from usb loaded M.U.L.E.: Problem is really just a wrong image of the game. I really can't understand how such a mistake can happen... Is there no one who takes control, if everything is correct?
  27. Digital reproduction is generally quite accurate, but too many analog to digital conversions is asking for trouble. That file may have been made from a tape. That's 1. recording back to tape again, that's 2.🚫 Best to make tapes directly from a TI-99/4A. Best to play those digital files directly back to the TI-99/4A. IMNSHO.
