  1. Dal_1978 got in touch this morning by good old telephone to catch up on what's going on. Unfortunately a weekend away in Germany hasn't helped me much to help others as I wasn't going to risk European data charges by my phone company by getting on FB to ask Silver Surfer to see what was up. From my point of view, and as I've pointed out to Dal this morning, there's *nothing* I can do. I'm purely 'front of house' when it comes to the forum, so I can look after the place more than fix stuff that goes on in the background. It will get sorted when it does. Can't offer you timescales or anything such like as to when it'll all be working. By that I mean both problems - a) the forum being down and b) the naff hosting company who seem to have upset so many ISPs.
  2. Works fine in the UK for me. No-one seems to have posted on the forum itself about major problems other than a few people using Virgin as their ISP (again, UK-based people). I'll send Silver Surfer a message about this thread as he looks after the back-end side of things and see what he can find out.
  3. Count myself (short, fat, grey beard) and GazTee (owner of the JagVR unit from RetroBorse) as 99% guaranteed visitors next year.
  4. Oh yes there are (as in serious collectors) but we're not based in the US Would be interested in a whole heap of the ones listed but no idea if you'll ship to the UK?
  5. Also won by Tyr was the "Silliest pair of boots I've ever seen on a human being" competition. But then again, he was the only entrant
  6. DVD Camcorder is packed in my suitcase so I'll get some videos done and YouTube'd when I get back.
  7. It's not a new game we're releasing but a previously "unseen in English before" game. And it's a biggie
  8. SatanDisk all the way .. who needs big clunky noisy drives when you can have as quiet as a mouse SD cards for your Mega STE Thinking of getting a 2nd one as they're *that* good. May even sell my external 2Gig SCSI tower box too
  9. Theres a multi-forum meet being arranged for 17th Feb in Birmingham. Meeting in a bar somewhere (to be confirmed) followed by a meal in China Town and a night in Broad St. Anyone interested? So far we have Retro Passion, Retro Fussion and Retro Gamer and those who visit the Secret Atari Forum (whilst the main one is "on holiday"). Trying to make this as good a meet up and beer drinking as possible - the more the merrier!
  10. I really like how you've arranged the main menu into tables. We'll have to do something similar to ours when the main menu gets a bit more crowded Will add a "other Atari Wiki's" to the main page at some point and add yours if that's OK?
  11. Ladies & Gentlemen, Atari Forum now has a Wiki! Myself, Silver Surfer and Daeghano have been working on a little side-project when time permits and now it's time to open the doors and let everyone else add their bits! The three of us that have been working on the Wiki have left a fairly open structure for you to play with. So play away! We want everyone (who can be bothered) to share their knowledge displayed in Atari Forum (and anywhere else in the Atari world) with as many people as they can. Games, Hardware (fixing, modding and upgrading), Coding, Hacking and other stuff. All important information is welcome in the Wiki. Don't worry about editing/spelling/grammar as I can work my magic with my virtual 'red pen' - did I mention my day job is a Technical Author? I've got an RSS feed which will show me all new edits made on the Wiki, so behave yourself those childish people who like to damage things! There will be a forum section dedicated to the Wiki appearing soon @ Atari Forum!!. Discuss any changes / sections you want adding in that section as soon as it's open.
  12. Until NetUSBee is released and we can all connect our ST's to our LAN routers and/or connect some form of cheap USB memory stick, there's only the above slow routes available. If you've got HDDriver and a Jaz drive then, in theory, you could dump a load of games onto the Jaz via your PC and then unMSA them on your ST back to disks. I'll let you know about the Jaz option when I finally figure out why my SCSI box won't recognise it
  13. Ain't that the truth! I have wished that for many games...especially 3 and 4 disk sets. I'd love to get Ultima 5 on HD. Dragons Lair would be so much more playable on HD. (although it still might be near impossible!). What ever happened to that thread about the software that was supposed to do HD emulation or something like that? The one that was supposed to work like the Amiga version? Did anybody ever try that? If so, did it work? You'll need to have a hackers mind to work out the ULS transfer of *any* game to a HD that originally used direct DMA loading. If you've ever hacked/cracked/filed a game then you've got the skills (if you can remember them) to hack any existing game to make it work with the ULS loader. However, games that use standard files should easily go onto HD inside one folder - it all depends on what tricks they use to detect which disk is in the drive. I've got a link-filer routine sat on my website which strips out the A: and B: from any requested filename and re-directs it to one large link-file which (in theory) should work on your ST's h/drive.
  14. Most of the early arcade conversions were done by Andromeda Software (based in Czech or Hungary.. can't remember) or Paradox (which usually meant a really bad conversion!). All the info is on Atari Legend .. well, it will be when the bandwidth exceeded message disappears at the beginning of the next month
