    Details on that mod please? I'd love to have a 2-button mouse solution for some stuff I am working on. I assume it use a resistor and gets read as a paddle input?

    Same here, although given how bad I suck at gaming, the slower gameplay would probably be good for me! I will try it at least, to see how it looks. I love all things VBXE.

    The ODE only replaces the CD transport (motor, laser, etc.) It does not replace anything else. You couldn't for example plug an ODE into a stereo system and playback music with it.

    Right - I can't even find images that I think would look good converted as fast as he kicks these out.

    Bird - 105 colours. I did not mean to let this one run so long. I fell asleep and my poor machine was jamming away at 100% overnight. Stephen_Bird.xex

    Really wish I'd kept better notes about the time I spent when making mine. Some things to keep in mind for a person that has to assemble these. Every resistor, diode, transistor has to be pre-bent before insertion. This is not a design flaw, it's just how things work. The parts come "flat packed", and need removed from the tape strips and bent. I didn't count the # of solder points but unless someone has a wave soldering machine, these boards take hours to solder. Quickest guesstimate is 800 to 1000 solder points. As much as I'd love to consider an assembly service, I am just not setup to do it for anything that would be worth my time unfortunately. There's also the consideration that I would have to make a set of Atari LSIs in sockets to test them after assembly so as to not eventually destroy them after dozens of insertion cycles. Just throwing out some things to consider. I absolutely loved being on the beta test team for 1088XEL, 1088XLD, and 576NUC projects, but the thought of doing them as a service, I couldn't imagine it.

    Each new image is my new favourite (do I even know how favourites work?!?)! Wow - am I happy with this one. 64 colours. Stephen_SaguarosAtSunset.xex

    Could they even file for a trademark in Europe given the car company?

    For me, it's a skill I am gaining in pre-processing the images. Even though I've been using this since day one, I just yesterday discovered running one solution can get me a "close enough" image in seconds (a minute maximum) rather than an hour minimum. I will now do this as a first step, and then fine tune any problem issues in the image. Once I am satisfied with that, I run my normal # of high solutions (8192) and most images will run for a minimum of 1 billion iterations. I am also no longer opposed to using some rather strong dithering settings, whereas in the past I either used the default strength of 1, or none. Example - the picture of Christina. It started with an all white background. I changed it to black, dropped the main image to 32 colours before starting it, fussed with dithering and gamma settings 5 different times, and then finally let the image run.

    I think this is one of my best ever. I can't wait to go view it on the 20" PVM. 53 Colours Stephen_BlueButterfly.xex

    Keep shilling everything as you do. There's zero connection to anything about the old game. It's a cash grab, but I get it. Business gotta business. Maybe this will make your $0.12 stocks go up to $0.13 or something.
