  1. i just checked - shocked to see how expensive these are now. i got my generic PS2 -> Dreamcast keyboard adapter back in the day for like $4.
  2. this seemed like the forum to put this - currently free on indegala: CHEAP GOLF, a gamejam modern day 'remake' of the Atari 2600's Miniature Golf title (infused with the likes of Pony Island). if you've played the 2600 at all, you'll recognize a ton of the sounds that are sampled https://freebies.indiegala.com/cheap-golf (edit: this really needs to be released for the nutari VCS)
  3. the original version of Spelunky (i actually prefer it to the commercial re-release): https://spelunkyworld.com/original.html also, the original release of Cave Story (with the English translation patch): https://www.cavestory.org/ and the original release of La-Mulana: https://archive.org/details/La-Mulana
  4. ...is that a challenge? it would be funny to have a realistic Formula One racing simulation in some low-resolution RF-staticy odd-colored abstract racecourse world with giant numbers and operators (made of different substances) floating about or littering the track
  5. for some reason Bloomberg gave them press: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-16/atari-seeks-new-cachet-with-crypto-and-a-return-to-hardware
  6. post above this one explains. set the full path to /Applications/Stella.app/Contents/MacOS/Stella instead of /Applications/Stella.app
  7. got a Flashback 8 out of a free pile the other day. (i only have had the Flashback 2 until now.) trying out Space Invaders and sadly the coding is sloppy - it's possible to advance to the next level with one or two invaders still alive, and i once saw the ship instantly teleport when hit, rather than exploding. there was another issue i noticed - will have to try it out again to remember what it was. and why is the high score set to all nines?
  8. i've been wanting one for a while!
  9. i placed an order - total cost of the controllers are 25x what i paid for my Jaguar console at a garage sale, ouch. but i believe in this project.
  10. i recently acquired a Retron 3, but after about a month of use some of the pins in the NES connector are all bent. it doesn't seem like a straight-up NES pin connector from eBay would work - are there any real replacement options here?
  11. Not sure how to fix this permissions error on OS X 10.8.5. to run the Stella emulator after assembling in WUDSN. So, assembling the file in WUDSN works fine, but when attempting Assembler -> Compile and Run, i get the error: Cannot execute application 'Stella' process '/Applications/Stella.app /Users/hitbyambulance/Documents/stella/output/hello.bin' in working directory '/Users/hitbyambulance/Documents/stella/output'. System error: Cannot run program "/Applications/Stella.app" (in directory "/Users/hitbyambulance/Documents/stella/output"): error=13, Permission denied The path to Stella is set as '/Applications/Stella.app' and the output directory for the assembled file is '/Users/hitbyambulance/Documents/stella/output'. Running $ open -a /Applications/Stella.app /Users/badlands/Documents/stella/output/hello.bin from the terminal (in the working directory) works as expected. SOLVED: need to specify full path inside the .app directory: /Applications/Stella.app/Contents/MacOS/Stella
  12. also interested - just found an FB2 at Half-Price Books for $10, looking to mod this unit.
  13. there were densities of 360kb and 1.2MB, single sided and double sided. 1.2MB drives can read 360kb disks, but not vice versa.
