  1. Or order one directly from the Atariage store. https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=42
  2. At this point, I think Atari is grasping at straws for any potential revenue stream to settle legal issues with Tin Giant. I'm pretty sure a default judgement will be forthcoming in favor of Tin Giant. I'd be willing to bet Tin Giant will put a lien on Atari assets. I don't even think Atari will be allowed to sell their joysticks, let alone their Atari Vaporous Console (tm) until their own legal issues are resolved. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/17040305/tin-giant-llc-v-atari-gamebox-llc/
  3. Anyone have a twister board they want to sell? Superufo is supposed to have some more coming (https://www.sellmyretro.com/offer/details/twister-board-for-ts2068-with-zx-spectrum-emulator-rom-on-board-28470), but if I can find one in the mean time, that would be great. Either way I plan on buying one from superfo as I want to support those who produce limited hardware runs for orphaned systems.
  4. Try checking to make sure you have only one partition on the SD card. If you've previously used it for other purposes (e.g Raspberry PI, etc.) you might have some other partitions on the card. You can check for the partitions in Windows by going to the Administrative tools/Computer Management application.
  5. Thanks for the help. I thought about using vice grips, however, my anal-ness wants me to keep everything stock and in original condition as much as possible, including the screws. I really don't want to scratch up the screws. Since I cant find the driver, I'll probably take your advice and then try to be as careful as possible.
  6. I'd like to mod my Super Pong(tm). Can anyone point me to a source for a screwdriver or security tip to remove the weird security screws used on the Super Pong? I saw in one of the forums that people have made their own, but I would prefer to go the lazy route and just buy one if possible.
  7. The Jaguar SD cart is absolutely awesome; as far as the new VCS is concerned, that remains to be seen. I hope I'm wrong, but right now it appears the VCS is doomed to be nothing but the next generation Ouya (assuming if it ever makes it to market).
  8. Somehow that makes me feel better being so far down the the list. Let the early adopters be the guinea pigs! (Just kidding, I'm sure they're all well tested, as I'd hate to wait even longer for a new rev) ?
  9. The one weekend I'm out and didn't check Atariage. Pre-order Position: 524 ?
  10. So I assume ~$175.00 - $180.00US with shipping to U.S.? The Krikzz EverDrive V3 (N64 SD multi-cart) currently sells for $193.00US on Amazon. Your price is not at all out of line with the product you are providing (especially if/when Jag CD support is provided).
  11. Or the 3DO version. Probably the most capable machine competing with the jaguar. https://kotaku.com/heres-why-the-3do-port-of-doom-sucked-1671138312
  12. Arcadeshopper.com does appear to have the modules. Thanks for the info
  13. I recently acquired a fully working Model 100 laptop. Sadly, it only has the stock 8K of ram. Does anyone know where I can purchase additional ram modules? I'd hate to purchase another Model 100 off ebay just to pillage its ram. Club 100 (http://www.club100.org/) used to sell ram, but their online store shuttered some time ago. Hopefully one of you helpful people can direct me to another source. Greg Bennett
  14. Add me to the list as well, BTW, Is there somewhere I can find the software for the old VecFlash Serial version? I recently came across my old cart, but I'm not sure where I put a copy of the loader software.

  16. I can't believe nobody has mentioned Wolfenstein 3D as a must-have for the jaguar. It has higher resolution graphics than virtually every other version, an overhead map Doom, *and* the addition of both a Flamethrower and Rocket Launcher! The frame rate is very smooth as well. It is a major inprovement from the PC version. Really, my only complaint is that there is no way for analog control on the jaguar.
  17. I totally missed the Centipede and Swordquest comics. The deal just got even better
  18. There is a new Humble Bundle (HUMBLE COMICS BUNDLE: DYNAMIC FORCES 25TH ANNIVERSARY) for $25+ that is primarily comic book related. However, it also contains PDFs of both the 'Art of Atari Poster Book' and the 'Art of Atari' book by Tim Lapetino. It also comes with a coupon for 25% off the hardbound version of the book. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/dynamic-25th-books?hmb_source=navbar&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=tile_index_2 https://dl.humble.com/ops/pdfs/artofatariposterbook_preview.pdf?ttl=1521744364&t=aaac22d1c03cbe1d61ecd40a4a21c7fe https://dl.humble.com/ops/pdfs/artofatari_preview.pdf?ttl=1521744364&t=731f6ad7e613f092e9f205ab0bdff02c If you love the Atari 2600 box artwork, you will definitely love these books. I have both books in print (signed of course) and they are well worth the money. I was going to purchase another copy of the Poster Book just to remove the pages and frame them individually. Now I will be able to simply print the PDF pages without damaging a physical book. If you like comic books, that's an extra bonus. gb
  19. I am working on a DPC+ BB game, and would like to seed the random number generator so I can reproduce the same ordered sequence of random numbers. If I set (seed) the standard 'rand' variable in a non-DPC+ kernel, the 'rand' call always return the same ordered random results as predicted. However, when seeding the 'rand16' variable I was unable to generate a predictable random sequence. Now that I have moved to the DPC+ kernel, I have no idea how to seed its 32-bit rand value (or if it is even possible). I tried assigning rand to a seed value, but it doesn't appear to have any effect on the random sequence. Does anyone know how to seed the DPC+ rand variable to generate a predictable random sequence? If I can't seed the DPC+ rand value, is it somehow possible to use the standard 'rand' call in a DPC+ build (which does appear to work as expected)? Any help would be appreciated. GB
  20. FPGAs are currently way too expensive for the average consumer. To appeal to the mass market, it needs to look and behave like the original machine *and* do so at an attractive price. Granted, an FPGA can load multiple cores and simulate a variety of machines, but it is doubtful they will ever be attractive to anyone but hard core users.
  21. Bummer! Ok. let me rephrase - 'Would someone please make a hardware version of the Atari 8-bit line using modern hardware?'. Curt Vendel made an almost-perfect Atari 2600 on a chip for the Atari Flashback 2 that can be modded to add a cartridge port. What I would like to see is a complete recreation of the Atari computers and allow the Atari computers to live on for another generation or two. Who knows the longevity of the existing hardware. Pokey chips alone are getting harder and harder to come by, and it is doubtful new ones will ever be made again. The current machines will eventually break and fade to obscurity without a refresh.
