  1. Past hour
  2. I got a replacement 1TB internal M.2 SSD drive for my VCS800 and am trying to install Win10 from a USB stick (via media creation tool). Windows see's my drive and I can create a New Partition but Windows says it cant create a new partition or locate an existing one to install? When I did this over a year ago I for some reason remember having to use Linux Mint to partition the drive and such for windows?
  3. Glad you are having the fun! No specific PDF file, but the basic instruction is on the download page here. Downloads – Carrot Kingdom™ Sadly that part got derailed, when I survive the stroke a few years ago.
  4. I agree. I’m waiting for the finished version. I’m not sure if Tru will release it on cart, but if not, I’ll have a reason to buy a Game Drive.
  5. Iam sure, that the more Tru learns about the Jaguar, the better MK will improve on its way to completion. Also, remember it runs on Jagstudio, proving the potential of those software tools
  6. Very possible. That certainly is ringing bells, but I'm not quite 100% sure that's it. Either way, thanks for the refresher; it'd been quite some time since I'd read about that
  7. I was too; I never believed it wasn’t capable. Tru is proving it’s a capable processor/chip!
  8. Ahh, printing photos of a certain environmental activist, were we ...?
  9. I agree, Alien is a reach. Despite the film tie-in, the humans in this game aren't really characters as much as generic avatars for us, the players. Blank canvases onto which we can ascribe any attribute. It can be Ripley if you want it to be, which is different than it's Ripley, full stop. If Ripley is in Alien, then Raquel Welch is in the submarine in Fantastic Voyage. 😜
  10. Lol no I'm not hoarding huge scores, I guess I'm trying to get to my previous pb
  11. Check your private messages. NAM 75 is on it’s way!
  12. I did not agree with discarding the Jaguar Object Processor, being not capable enough. And of course, I appreciate and support the effort to bring MK to the Jag!
  13. I wonder, where the HELP key is mapped. I cannot find it.
  14. The cart based mediums with SDcards is generally my preference, (mine being Side3), and many others also AVG and SubAVG. The Sdcard (even the small capacity ones) are cheap, give vast amounts of space and can be easily popped into laptops to save new games to. They have intuitive loaders, plus SpartaDos-X if needed. Main advantage of these carts is speed of loading and accessing. TBH I only really use my SIO2PCUSB with ResepQt windows software to flash firmwares. (Totally appreciate some of the benefits others have mentioned of using SIO2PCUSB). Cart PBI speeds are just so much faster than SIO, and mounting car images means some massive games load instantly.

  16. @LarryFromBuffalo Here's GCHAR included in a compiled unit called GRAPHCHAR in the GRAPHICS library. As you can see below you don't need to know how the unit itself works, just how to use it. Just make sure that you have a file called USERLIB.TEXT on your default drive which contains the name of the library, GRAPHICS.CODE, before compiling your program. {gchar test program} program gchartest; uses support, {$u graphics.code} graphchar; begin page(output); set_screen(2); gotoxy(15, 11); write('*'); gotoxy(0, 2); write('character code: ',gchar(12, 16)); end. (* gchartest *) PWORK.dsk
  17. Plexiglass puzzle-piece cases will never "resemble" the original cases. Their point is to put a protective shell around the circuit boards and to allow the owner to ogle the said boards. If you want to recreate the 1090XL case, you'll need to spring for injection molded plastics.
  18. All good mate! Let me know if things change! So, as of now, the STe and Mega ST 4 are still available everyone
  19. Today
  20. I think very many here wonder about the same. That better graphics becomes less important with games that are 30-50 years old is understandable. Yet, - improved graphics will probably always matter, it’s just that as we are in the era of 8th to 9th Gen. of consoles, and PCs have actually gradually evolved in background, the difference from whats really good-looking now contra then is so vast, the older games seems to be viewed more like ‘early, primivite block’-games, then NES-type 8-bit or 16-bit era. As of now, what should be the next quantum-leap in graphics…? Do we need it…? Guess for me, good graphics have always been one the most integral parts to everything-video game-related. Even as a very young kid, I was frustrated with our Dragon 64s poor graphics quality… like ‘why does stuff in Arcades (think Ghost n Goblins, Dragon Buster, Commando, Jail Break etc) actually pull me into a fantasy-world, while the unrecognizable block-world on the home-computer hardly tells me anything, shows me anything, - gives me no exciting feelings of adventure and ‘being there’ etc. Guess, people may differ in whats important to them: Is it about videogames being a digital Air-Hockey+, is it about video-games to be an interactive action-movie or interactive story-world…? For retro-games, how much is pure nostalgia (re-living or awakening a fond memory) and how much is about exploring what you wished to experience back then but couldn’t (pretty big part for me) and how much is just being universally interested in everything game-like just to have fun with that paradigm or platform provided…? Certainly can distinctly remember asking myself whether I’d see Konami, Capcom and Sega titles on the Lynx… - of what they would’ve looked like…
  21. Yes, the most common detection is in one direction, for example, for bullets. x = (sprite_x + 7) / 8 ' Getting the center of the sprite y = (sprite_y + 7) / 8 c = VPEEK($1800 + sprite_y * 32 + sprite_x) ' Read character.
  22. ANOTHER EXPLOSIVE GAME! The Mutants started off with a GRAND SLAM in the FIRST INNING! The Spartans hit two RBI singles in the bottom of the 1st to make the score 4-2. The Mutants extended their lead to 5-2 with an RBI single in the 2nd. The Spartans got a run walked in and another RBI to cut the lead to 5-4. The Mutants scored another run on a fielder's choice in the 3rd to lead 6-4. The Spartans hit an RBI single in the 6th but still lose 6-5.
  23. Hot damn, I posted these ages ago! Any hoo - I just modified one a little bit, so I can play some paddle games on my 800XL. This will work on other Ataris too. 2nd button is wired to UP. Joystick left is paddle button. Works a treat and the dial doesn't get in the way of the buttons either (even though it may look like it does...)
  24. You can also verify that the service are running by telnetting into the PI from the 4A. The terminal is a little mismatched for Linux so you generally need to type everything perfectly the first time. From TI BASIC: CALL TIPI("TIPI.NET.TELNET") Pick the appropriate screen mode, 80 columns requires an F18A. For the hostname prompt enter: localhost For the port enter: 23 At the login prompt enter the credentials: Username: tipi Password: tipi Then run: sudo systemctl status TIPI web.service What does it show?

  26. Positive news Update! Apparently their first reply went to my spam folder, but they did follow-up with a second email to explain that there is a 20-30 day delay for shipping the controllers. They explained that there is a disclaimer below the PayPal purchase button. It may be a new disclaimer, but in fairness, I may have missed that when ordering. It was just a bit concerning, because there was no order confirmation from CoteGames, just the PayPal confirmation. So, things are good!
