With 2.3.15 i do see the PlusStore down message. But on 2.3.18 I don't see an option to upgrade to newer versions. I am considering removing all the files off my main page and place them in "my roms" instead, but this will break many share folders.

I've often wondered, is it possible to make PlusCart have a direct link to one's NextCloud drive? Is it hosted on the PlusStore, or is it separate? If so, how about the linking to a onedrive or google drive?

Awesome. Enjoy the weekend!

Yes, the RA-3-9600 SRAM and CP1610 CPU are interchangeable between PAL and NTSC variants. Interesting note - the STIC chips are pin compatible and can be safely swapped over, but will yield odd results if you don't make other changes to the system, eg to system clock. You can use an NTSC STIC in a PAL console if you change the system clock crystal (PAL systems have a system clock crystal and a colour frequency crystal) and generate a PAL 60Hz output. - HZ

Not sure yet, they probably would have liked to do it today but it's been raining non-stop. I'll post here with pics once in place

I was an Atari ST developer for a company called Migraph. This was one of our office computers It was last used in 1998. I have an ST monitor somewhere but it is buried deep in my warehouse So this item is being sold untested. but it does power up and was working when we stopped using it in 1998 the lighting was terrible when i took the photos the case looks pretty good the keyboard looks super great I couldn't find the mouse that came with the system so i grabbed an ST mouse out of a bucket of stuff the mouse has sun damage and will need a peroxide 'fix' there is also a power cord and what looks like a floppy cable one of the screws on the bottom fell out, so i have it held in with a small piece of clear tape SOLD AS-IS no refunds I have this on eBay right now but would be willing to sell it here for less if quick sale feel free to ask a lot of questions please make a reasonable offer shipping by usps ground should cost 38 to 78 depending how far from north carolina you are might have some atari ST magazine floppies i can toss in

Micro USB port:

I should explain what increasing MHZ and NOPS does, so here is a picture of the read timing from the technical data manual: NOPS adjusts the #1 settling time, the time between detecting *MEMEN going low and sampling the address value MHZ affects how fast the PSRAM can output a byte, which needs to be less than the #2 access time shown in the diagram Ideally, you would set 9 NOPS and 280 MHz and it would all fit nicely in the diagram. But as we have found, the PSRAM chips are dodgy more often than not, and our TIs are all different too. So we have to search for our particular working values. All of mine work at 250MHz and 1NOP (with this newly optimised firmware), but some TIs may need more (#1) NOPs and this will push-out (#2) access time - so with more NOPs you may need to increase the MHz to pull it back within spec. But then you are fighting the dodgy PSRAMs, which starts to give bit errors on reads, when the speed is too fast for them. Finally, here is a recording of a real speech synthesizer (first) vs my device (second) saying "HELLO" in extended basic. TI-Hello3.wav I wrote somewhere that I was not happy with the signal noise my device introduced to the TI (through the sound chip) but I can say the real speech synth is about 2-3 times more noisy than my device (when you turn the volume right up to listen, when nothing is playing). The second word (my device) in the recording does have a more metallic sound to it, but I think the volume is pretty close between the two - and I'm more happy with my device overall after doing this test.

Wow! We now have 7 amazing entries and only remains 96 hours to close the contest!

Or better yet, look at the Jaguar Technical Reference Docs and try it yourself?

Interesting. Would love to see a comparison against the competition from CRC and Deoxit.

Neither the Dynasty short boards or the TONG long board were designed with CGIA. There are '83 800XLF schematics with CGIA, but I don't think any samples exist in the wild. Designs moved to using KERI instead.

I will have to look for the overlays (images) for the 4 and 6 switches.

Think of me as a dummy. Translation ?

Also, as you can see, TI just made the default TITL = 'VERSION 1.2', because if YOU use TITLE, the TITLE you give is substituted for 'VERSION 1.2'.

The Blob! As the blob, you have 25 turns to engulf "the city". Your blob starts out as the color in the upper left corner. At each turn, select an adjacent color to expand your blob. Your blob then becomes that new color. Use the highlighted keypad numbers to select the expansion color: #1 for blue, #2 for red, etc. Pressing #8 will put the game into auto-play mode, where the computer randomly selects the next color. (This just provides a quicker way to get to the end of the game, to test end game features. Such random color choices typically result in a loss, as there is no computer intelligence involved.) At the end of the game, press keypad #7 to replay the same game, or keypad #9 to start a new game. Or, if you won the game, press #0 for a ***bonus game*** before beginning a new game. blob.rom

I love the WiiU’s ability to run “asymmetric” games where players see different things (like Nintendoland). Unfortunately there are’nt too many games supporting that. Having an extra screen for inventory or such is nice, too (as is hacking to install all games on a hard drive).

Maybe the mystery is inside a dungeon

Very true but that’s above my skill set. I’m happy doin lil repairs. Anything major I have to send out. If I can find someone willing to help

Bump

That is very cool! PlusCart can never be orphaned then even without the Server. Where is the usb port on PlusCart?

Kind of hard to search for, so if someone has a link or pics, I would love to see them. Preferably not taken with a webcam in a smokey dungeon. Cheers

I always loved professors who gave partial credits. 😃
