As for some trivia in between, some time ago I learned that "case" still refers to the set of letters of the typesetter, when the typesetter had one case (the upper case) with the capitals sorted in, and another one below with the small letters. Although Gutenberg invented the printing press, we don't have a similar (known) term in German, just "big letter" and "small letter". By the way, the lower case letters are from medieval times (8th century), and the capitals, of course, from the Romans. I also learned that in Arabic, you have four "cases": starting, middle, ending, and isolated.

Here are two hard disk images with the GeneveOS 7.45 distribution for use with MAME and TIImageTool, one as a SCSI disk, the other as a MFM disk (HFDC). Not included are the PDF files and the EPROM binaries. (Retracted, possibly having errors)

TI used the small caps in Parsec as the status line ("Alien craft advancing!"). I noticed it on my Geneve where I replaced the small caps with true lower case letters.

OK, did you check the on-screen display and there the menu selection "Input settings" / "Input assignments (this system)"? There you should look at the settings for the "twin joystick", close to the end of the list.

Just as a tip, stating that you could not do something without giving further details will probably not return helpful answers. At least we should know what exactly happened, like an error message popping up, a crash, smoke and evil stench from your computer ... In doubt, post a screenshot.

Really mad weather here in Germany. Two weeks ago we had high temperatures at about 23 °C (73°F), now the snow is back (low temp of today at 3°C = 37°F). Not only did I put summer tyres on my car already (you'll be fined when the police meets you with summer tyres in snowy conditions), but the bloom has already been there for many plants, and many orchards now call it a total loss. All fruit frozen on the trees. Again, the weather forecast warned of snow some minutes ago.

https://ftp.whtech.com/ works for me right now.

When you get stutters, check the emulation speed result message when you leave the emulation. This sounds like your hardware is too weak to run the emulation at full speed with all effects.

Banana?

You're right, the incoming RESET line was never implemented on the emulated Horizon card. I'll add that. The P-box emulation and the parent class of the cards already offer the reset line, so it is just a matter of overriding the empty virtual function. I will send you a newly built MAME executable to try it, maybe today.

Assignment: Calculate the package overhead.

Come on, the last time I played Starfort was more than 30 years ago. There is certainly someone else with a good score here.

I admit I only know this "wasssupp??!" from Scary Movie - now I know the background. Somewhat. About that song I mentioned, here is a video. Just to give you an idea of that piece of culture...

This really reminds me of a notorious party song from German Mickie Krause (one of those beach party hits that you can only endure drunken): Geh' mal Bier hol'n Du wirst schon wieder hässlich ("Go get some more beer - you're getting ugly again...")

Not ripped off, this looks like cleanly cut with a knife or scissors. This alone should earn him some really bad karma. 🤬
