S.O.P. Track 2 - Air On A G String

Posted by k-Pack in Switched on POKEY, 22 October 2018 · 16 views

S.O.P. Track 2 - Air On A G String I wanted to set track 2  up as a duo between the Atari 800 and a friend with a Cello. Pairing the Atari with the Yamaha TG-33 ended up being the easier option.  Besides, it was also easier to use the effects processor in the mixer then renting a cathedral.   Maybe that friend would have called back if I had left him a voice message....

Frank on Pokemon Mini again

Posted by atari2600land in atari2600land's Blog, 22 October 2018 · 20 views

Frank on Pokemon Mini again I've decided to return to working on Frank the Fruit Fly for the Pokemon Mini. No reason, really this time, besides looking for something to do. I read somewhere that once the ROM size reaches 64k I have to do something different to it. Right now, the ROM is only 17k, but I want to make this be a full-fledged adventure game like SMB or something with hidd...

Christmas Carol: A Short Story - Part XXIII

Posted by DZ-Jay in DZ-Jay's Random Blog, 22 October 2018 · 32 views

Not much progress to report.  After adding the elf characters to the beginning of the story and editing a few things here and there, I completed the Snowflake Gardens chapter and started on the next.
 
As predicted, I added yet another chapter to the story.  For those keeping score, the outline now sits at 13 chapters plus an epilogue....

SNES, Boring, Random, Average and 3 more...

Hi all!
 
This may end up being a boring read, but I thought I'd document my Super NT purchase in a Blog.  Just a one off... Mainly because I'm going to pick the color at random.
 
First, I've wanted an Analogue Super NT since they were first announced.   SNES in HD here I come!
 
For what it's worth (FWIW), when I could affo...

Magical Fairy Force

Posted by AverageSoftware in AverageSoftware's Development Blog, 14 October 2018 · 62 views

Back with another Magical Fairy Force update.
 
I've gotten some new things in place, and some of the gameplay elements are starting to formalize in my mind.  The first thing I got working was shooting.  Each player can now fire, I used a pair of missiles for each player, so the projectile is four pixels wide.  Looks great so far....

And yet another small diversion

Video Game Reviews

A couple of things I didn't mention about the mini-arcade games from Super Impulse that I've been collecting :
 
First, they're sold with keyrings attached. They're a bit too large and impractical to be a keyring though:

Second, they don't have a coin door on the front sticker....

OSMC on RPi0w

Posted by EricBall in EricBall's Tech Projects, 01 October 2018 · 83 views

I have an external drive (5TB in your pocket for US$120 - the mind boggles) to which I've ripped DVDs, including Game of Thrones.  Now that my son is off to college, it might be easier for my wife and I to find the time to watch them.
 
They play back fine on my wife's MacBook - but its USB ports died so we have to use a DisplayPort adapter, whi...

Minor C issue, any ideas?

Finally getting some work done on SpiceC and have run into an issue.  Storing graphic data in the C code like this:

 
Lets you create a list of images like this:const unsigned char* Images[] ={  Timmy,  RedBox};

However, each entry in that list takes up 4 bytes (size of a pointer) which is twice as much space as needed as when...

Bought my house 1 year ago.

Posted by Nuclear Pacman in Ablogalypse Now, 28 September 2018 · 73 views

It has been a busy year for me. The whole process of purchasing a home, looking back was a lot of hard work. Dealing with the bank, setting up inspections, settling the lease on my apartment, and prepping the home for me to move in. I had like a 1 week window from closing, to do some interior painting and lay new carpet on the main floor.

4) Timing and Horizontal Positioning (Minikernel Developer's Guide)

Posted by Karl G in Karl's Blog, 27 September 2018 · 94 views

Up until now, I've avoided talking about timing and cycles in too much detail, but now we will take a closer look, as it will be needed to understand horizontal positioning of objects.
 
Imagine for a moment that you are decorating a house, and you are trying to position a picture on a wall.  You ask a friend to hold up the picture against the...

A journey to Bach's Invention 1 and other miscellaneous updates

MIDI

A journey to Bach's Invention 1 and other miscellaneous updates After recording PRELUDE1.MP3 it seemed that the Atari BASIC sound program needed to be reprogrammed in assembly.  I got out the MAC65 cart and two days later things were so messed up I wasn't sure if it was the Arduino and/or Atari software or the Arduino interface hardware giving me the headaches. 
 
I decided to go back and setup the equi...

Dealer Demo, part 11: One Assembler to Rule them All

Posted by Atari_Ace in Atari_Ace's Blog, 14 September 2018 · 87 views
forth

We've now reached a compact bit of code in the Dealer Demo that provides an assembler to Forth.  And the assembler in Forth is a thing of beauty indeed.  Written by Bill Ragsdale (as was most of the Forth kernel), it provides an assembler that can produce surprisingly readable code without the use of labels.  In essence it implements high-...

What's more appropriate for NEW gear on older computers, than updated versions of older software?  
 
Some legacy programs have 'issues' when dealing with newer gear or storage formats.  Some older editors like TI-Writer or BA-Writer leave 'garbage'(see first reply below) at the end of a file which can interfere with programs like 4...
