Refactored my Atari 8-bit Multi-Tool (AEMT) for: a) Hierarchical command support, b) Enabled independent use of split, cart, and config (.cfg functions), and c) Modularization. And still, after 45 years of coding, finding it takes longer to make such tools useable for others than it does to implement the core functionality. First release this weekend.

I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will.

I looked up the specs on the 10M02 chips and found that the I7 version (10M02SCM153I7G) is the industrial version (-40° to +100° C) with a maximum speed of 450 MHz, while the C8 version (10M02SCM153C8G) is the commercial version (0° to +85° C) with a maximum speed of 402.5 MHz. Does the C8 version meet requirements? The 10M02SCM153C8G is $8.07 for single piece or $6.46 for 25 pieces (with additional breaks for higher quantities). Pricing appears to be identical between DigiKey and Mouser. -

Heya @Muddyfunster! We had a blast playing through Bernie and the Tower of Doom on the stream tonight! Loved the sneak preview at the end. 🙂 Found a small visual bug on Tower 3-4 when falling off the block in the screencap below where Bernie temporarily disappears. Other than that, it plays perfectly, no issues or crashes! So much fun. - James -
This is all good feedback. That's probably because at some point (maybe one build back?) I pulled it from the Legends flashback which does not have the "two-layer" section setup and didn't fix up the "goto's". That and switching out the emulator globally can be done sometime soon. Maybe it's time to add some games. There are always more good ones! -

I was 4 or 5, I might have read it in the manual, but I also might have not...t'was so long ago now 🧙♂️ -

Too bad can't get the original cartridge holder by itself. This bundle comes with a 4a console and bunch of games and joysticks. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/266740690282 -

I thought Mario Kart GP DX was popular, just with different people. It is more for females and young boys, whereas Cruisin´ Blast is mainly for older boys and young men. -
Yeah, - that^ was what I considered had to be gameplay design flaw. Learned now, it’s all in the manual. -
Yep, I'd seen that as well. Star Castle is another great game which I play all the time. That game is HARD. The sounds in it are awesome though. -
Well, then I take back it’s design-flaw. Without having read the manual, I’d guess it’s s way to try make home-console games offer a deeper or more complex game-mechanic. I thought some Arcade of this had been around. I shuddered as I envisioned of confused and shocked Arcade gamers who spent hours with trial and error gaming, then spent years in a Asylum where they babbled nonsensically about insects, space, cannons and Qotiles … …but of course, being home-console game with a manual makes for utterly different situation, You have my sympathy, but I won’t lie to you: methinks I’d much prefer Battlezone and Smurf… SneakyBox saved the day for me, concerning this one.

I recently restored a 386 pc from 1991 that I had in storage for decades. Its on the weak end as far as performance for mid 90s dos games are concerned. For instance, stuff like Doom and Descent run like slideshows. In fact, most 3D games run very poorly on it, which is not a huge surprise. Its specs really limit it to early 2D gaming for the most part, Commander Keen and Duke Nukem 1 and the like, and even some of those early 2d games have some slowdown here and there. As I'm testing things out on it I decided to try out Tempest 2000 dos version. Surprisingly, this game runs extremely well. It has some slowdown here and there as the action gets going, but its similar to the slowdown on the jaguar version and doesn't feel too obtrusive. Sure enough, I'm googling the system requirements on the box and it suggests the minimum system requirements are a 386dx40. I think the game is outstanding on the Jag, and its probably one of the best looking games that runs well on this old pc as well. I don't know if that means the game is actually not as taxing as its visuals would lead you to believe, or if both the Jag and the dos versions are coded very efficiently... but nonetheless, given the rudimentary stuff that this old pc runs, and its age (1991) its almost hilarious to see it running T2K so well. I heartily recommend getting a copy if you have any old PCs kicking around and are wondering what to do with them! Btw, I've tried out the dos port of Raiden as well. Graphics are on par with the jaguar version but it has some quite terrible aspects that make it way less fun to play. For instance, you may choose to play either sound effects or music, but not both simultaneously. Additionally, the game slingshots between being quite a bit faster than the arcade or jaguar version, and then slowing down substantially when many enemies are on the screen simultaneously. Slowdown is ok sometimes in shmups but the slingshotting between very fast to very slow to very fast again just makes it an absurd proposition to play the game. Imagine 10 fireballs coming towards you at faster than normal speed, and then one second later they are crawling toward you, and one second after that they are coming at you again faster than normal! It's not very fun to play this version of the game!
