    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

    Typical husky - waiting patiently for his lunger!

    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.

    36 colours, Christina Applegate - poor lady has been through a lot recently. First breast cancer and then MS Stephen_ChristinaApplegate.xex

    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.

    Absolutely nothing to do with Yars in any way. But keep slapping them old names on to suck those retro dollars up!

    Except for certain goofballs that are wrong in every statement they make saying it doesn't use or show the Jag's full power Fumes and all.
