Ah, good... I only know of the issue with the green PCB like the one I have...
Not done the PBI on mine as I have a U1MB in the machine, so it's a bit pointless to do the mod even though for a person without the U1MB, it's a great addition to the cart.

That's pretty much a worse case scenario. Usually I get stuff within 2 weeks.
Good to hear, I've only had one case where stuff was mega early, normally it's bang on the expected date from the sale. I don't mind, I'm ready for that date, if it comes early, all good.

Yep, it was removed by Albert soon after..
I can see where Gulsaluki was coming from in trying to point out where he was but everything bar his door number was posted, and I just thought "no, too much info". Me and Gilsaluki had a short chat afterwards, he was sorry it had turned out this way and just needed space. Hopefully he will be back, he's a nice guy.
But main point, let's see the return of Gunstar..

Just checking that you know about the mod needed for the green old PCB's for the PBI cable to work?
Details are on tmp's own page.

But expect a long wait for them from AliExpress..Sent from China by the slowest way possible..Great for price if you are not in a hurry..
As you can see from the page, it's around a month for delivery..
-
LOL...Quick, unplug the PBI

Glad the details are gone, I was shocked when I saw them up, I don't think Gunstar would have been happy with it and rightly so. The intention was good, just a bit misdirected. I hope people can understand that.

Signing off.
Sadly, unless Gilsaluki changes his mind, he has left the forum (we chatted by PM)...Not the outcome I wanted to see..
We need all the Atari good guys (and ladies) as possible..

tmp is a god..Simple

Yeah I know Matt's address, we have exchanged bit's and bob's over time. Just wasn't going to post the details BUT it is all out there, for a few quid I can even get a credit, law breakage, and you name it report, but it's not my business so I don't do that. Just pointing out it is easy to get but my thing is to not post it. No disrespect to Gilsaluki, but I think also that albert should remove anything beyond he's in OK (maybe even that too)
All I want is for my old mate to say he's ok, as I would with all of you lot

Can't you get the same effect if it opens as a Temporary Profile?

I've done a deep search of media of various types and there's no news involving him or his mum, no obituaries recently, which is great news. I just hope it's something silly like the lines are down due to the recent awful weather etc. Yep, Jon, that was one of his other haunts as it is for a few of us. He's always showing his restoration / modding work on there. Just didn't name it in case it came across as site promotion. It's Tim Klines site..

I'll have a look, thanks for the hint..

I went a head and downloaded the file and it is a more up to date version. Thanks!
Here's a full collection -Atari 8bit BIOS for various emulators.
Atari 8bit BIOS Full pack for Altirra etc
My pleasure.. Have fun with it..
-
That's very kind of you, I was always brought up to look out for people and Matt has been a good friend to many of us.

I do hope it's a case of an Atari break Andy, but Matt isn't that sort of bloke, he's always up to some sort of modding or just doing stuff. He has a few restoration threads on the other forum and he just never stops for a breath
The two main reasons of worry are the terrible weather conditions in the area he lives in and it also a little remote from looking at the satellite view. The other reason as said initially, is his mother, she was almost dead a little while back, but managed to keep going. A few of us on the other forum were going to do a video group call and asked who was up for it and zero response from a normally vocal Matt. And yes, I forgot what his business is and yep it's a summer thing, let's hope all is well as can be.
Sorry for the OT thread, just looking out for a fellow forum member and old mate..
-
Must say, they look superb..
-
Yup, I know it's not long, but Matt is a creature of habit, as said, hope he's just busy with work / life..

Hi folks, not seen Matt / Gunstar on here for a while, nor has he been on another forum we both frequent. I've messaged him, but no reply, which is odd. Bit worried that something may have happened to his mother who he looks after, she's been quite ill for some time. Last time he was on here or the other forum was the 22nd of Jan. He's a workaholic so it's possible he is just busy, but just hoping that someone has chatted with him since. I'd knock on his door, but he's the other side of the big pond from us in the UK.
Cheers,
Paul..

I'd imagine IF the cart saves, that it's to disk. (unless he converted the save routine as well)
Glad it's working..

Have you tried making sure it can write to the disk (under file / disk dives, set it to R/W if it's on VR/W)
It's very unlikely that it's Altirra directly (not 100% impossible, though), almost certainly it's config issue. I'll have a play in a bit and see what it does..
Edit: Just tried it from an ATX for the side 1 and an atr for the scenario disk, and it ran fine without any mods from a standard XL config.. Created a character and journeyed onward...all fine
This was on 4.10 beta 2 https://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-4.20-test2.zip There's been no big emulation fixes since the first beta, so which version should not affect it...

If anyone knows how a PAL receiver reacts hue-wise to a swinging colorburst that isn't aligned to +/-45 degrees, I'd be interested.
I'd help if I even understood what that meant
Joking aside Avery, even if a lot of the stuff goes above some of our heads, we appreciate the fact you put your time in to make the emulator the best it can be..

Well that's this sorted then, thanks Kay...

Yes, I guess so, as for attitude, while FJC was looking for details to find Matt, he came across an old post (2020) I'd made on another forum where I bad mouthed him and a mate of his, it's a long story that's not for in here but just shows that I have my bad days. I've apologised to FJC (not his mate tho as he was the cause of the anger). Wasn't like the normal me but it was wrong and I felt he was owed a public apology. Since then we had been chatting happily, so I'm a twerp to sour the friendship.
