Found how to reinitialize on HSC manual: Clearing Scores & Changing Personalized Name: If for some reason you wanted to wipe out the High Scores for a particular game or for all High Scores or if you wanted to change the Personalized Name of your cartridge you can enter the Maintenance Mode of the cartridge. 1. Insert a game that works with the High Score Cartridge such as Asteroids on top of the High Score Cartridge. 2. Wait 24 seconds for the High Score Screen to appear. 3. Press and hold the PAUSE button and press the Select Button. 4. You are now in the Maintenance Mode screen. Select what you would like to clear and press the FIRE button. Once complete move the Joystick to DO Nothing and press FIRE and select YES and you will EXIT the Maintenance Screen.

Is it possible to reinitialize HSC (to change the name)?

Hi Paul, another great game from you! Works perfectly on my PAL 7800 + 7800 GameDrive.

@MrFish I think Starmaster is missing from the list of 2600 games.

The problem is sometimes it is impossible to keep dangerous files. I don't want too disable Safe browsing too. Edge doesn't have that issue.

Now it doesn't work for me too...

With Chrome I've solved the problem with those three steps (sorry for Italian language):

The included game Yoomp! would support stereo too but THE400 Mini doesn't have it... I hope Retro Games will fix that because many games and lot of demos and tunes are stereo.

SIO devices don't have CAR compatibility.

I agree on the fact 130XE could be used too, I wasn't sure about compatibility because my default emulator setting is XL OS with 320KB RAM and it works most of the times.

According to manual, "The default is the Atari 800, as a great many programs will run on this model". 😄

When you load your own files Atari 800 is the default machine (48KB RAM, OS Rev. B...). Therefore, the first time you load a game you often have to change settings, very boring. Considering the fact that the Atari 800XL is the machine compatible with the great majority of software, IMHO it should be the default one.

But you cannot do it with built-in games if I am not wrong.

Am I missing something or everytime you want to load a game from USB you have to change machine model from 800 to 800XL/130XE? I think 800XL should be the default machine, not 800.

Happy Easter! No beautiful eggs?

Perhaps not everyone knows that a good source of files is Homesoft. Games are in XEX and ATR format (when XEX isn't available), continually updated and cleaned - no intros, no unpacking delays, no glitches. If you click on "download all" on the right, you'll get all games inside A-Z folders.

@Ben from Plaion reads 2600+ forums and works with coders to remove bugs and enhance the product. Does someone from Retro Games read this forum?

I like both but I think you should change titlescreen for enhanced version, therefore I vote for the right one.

Krzysztof, if you'd like I am at disposal for Italian language translation (I translated Laura).

Considered where I live, first product's perfect for me 😁 But isn't it a bit too brown for XL?

I attach the complete folder (W10 64 bit). RastaConverterBeta8_Test1.zip

My test confirms that RC beta 8 generates fewer stripes. They are still there, but a little less.

Thank you very much! I am doing a test with a tough conversion that ended with many stripes. I hope new RC doesn't work well otherwise I'll have to redo all my conversions ah ah. 😁

Raph Koster is a well-known game designer who co-created the online role-playing game LegendMUD (1994), directed the development of Ultima Online (Electronic Arts, 1997) and was the creative director of Star Wars Galaxies (LucasArts, 2003), massively multiplayer networked role-playing games. He is also the author of the classic book "A Theory of Fun for Game Design". In 2012 he was named an Online Game Legend at the Game Developers Conference Online. He is currently the founder and CEO of Playable Worlds, Inc., a developer of immersive online worlds. In an interview in Retro Gamer magazine (issue 254) he said that his first computer was a 16KB Atari given to him by his great-uncle and his third an Atari 130XE, which he still owns. Intrigued, I contacted him for more details and he told me that the first Atari was a 600XL and the second one was a 1200XL. In 1985 he programmed Orion, an Atari Basic game which actually consisted of five two-players games loaded in succession. He kindly gave me the permission to share the game. Orion (1985)(Protovision, Raph Koster)(basic).zip Years ago he made a video about it: More info about Raph Koster in his website where there's a page dedicated to Atari 8-bit computers emulation.

I like this project so much that I mention it for years on the home page of my site.
