I went for ModMyPi for the case. They told me at least a few weeks. https://www.modmypi.com/ My first use would be to test off the mains computing. I have a USB battery pack that can hold enough juice for a composite projector and the Pi. The second use would be to get my Mother off of cable TV. Give her a Pi with XBMC on it. Right now the XBMC seems a little unstable though. My last reason was to try RiscOS when they finally have a stable SD card image available.

Good, it's too bad we don't know more than a location when it comes to places like this. Someone is obviously filling this mans head with brain-washed nonsense. What do you do with a starving populace? Feed their heads with visions of terror about other countries.

Seemed like a couple of weeks. They lost my "sign of interest" email and we had to resend that before they actually got me on the list. This is not a fluke as I had one other person send a "sign of interest" email to the distributor to no good result.

I knew I wasn't a beautiful and unique snowflake. Apparently someone else had a similar idea: http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?23141-8BASIC-I-finally-wrote-a-Basic-interpreter-to-my-Z80-AM95-8-bit-NANO-COMPUTER Apparently, limiting the amount of parsing you do is called "fixed format"

If you can't figure out this: http://devkitpro.org/ Then you may consider going back to BASICs http://www.gbadev.org/tools.php?showinfo=195

If you have programming experience but need this to be a light duty project then try coding it yourself in Batari BASIC for the 2600. I've never heard of a licensor approving of an extensive hack. It not just legal reasons. You're asking for more than just adjusting values in RAM. Disassembling and figuring out someone elses code and then adding your own routines and data can be much more difficult than writing your own engine - especially on the 2600 where CPU cycles are fitted together like puzzle pieces. "Being forwarded to the appropriate people" either means the trash bin or the lawyers. No one wants to work on a project that'll get dropped because of a cease and desist order. If you go all new code then at least you could change the name and move forward.

Don't worry. Most Americans don't even know where Koreas is, much less East Korea or Southwestern Style Korea.

I was thinking about getting a cold heat soldering iron so I wouldn't perform any smelly burning of dead folicals. I have yet to solder anything properly. Though I once made a fake ISA to PCI card for an on-site technician to install at a customers house. That went well!

Sorry to revive an old topic but I have a Model B now. I'm waiting on a case so I don't ESD the thing to death. If anyone wants me to confirm something works just ask. Er, as long as it doesn't involve solder and or singeing my hair.

No. YOU'RE hard atari2600land. You've got the stones to persevere until it makes sense. Keep on going!

I appreciate an extra pair of eyes with good searching skills. If YOU can't find it then I know it isn't me. See the curve in her green hair and angle of the red sleeve on her shirt? Those seem to be characters in the MZ-700 font that are either rows of eight pixel lines or columns of eight pixel lines. I can't find those characters in any of the typical MZ-700 font sets. As long as I know what they are I can manually reproduce them. Wait.. wait.. er, I finally saw them in the link you provided sometimes99er! I guess they interspersed them within the character set in a way I didn't expect. Again, thanks for the second pair of eyes!

Apparently it's Opposite Day! For instance, my cooworkers don't take me seriously when I am. Strangely, when I laugh they all stare in my direction with a very serious look. No one appreciates the humor in smoking electronics these days.

So, we have a topic on the NES in the Modern Gaming section and a topic about first person shooters in the Classic Gaming section.. ..did I miss the fact it's Opposite Day?

After the big name developers decide everything else has been violated they will proceed to ditch all play mechanics in FPS and innovate by using a single button to blow off heads. It will cost $1 for each head that gets blown off. The anti cheat spyware will randomly press the FIRE button to reduce piracy and or your credit card.

Maybe we all have this bass ackwards. Maybe what's needed is a GUI RAD environment for P-Machinery and SDK-1600. Instead of writing an interpreter for BASIC you hide the assembly underpinnings and give the user GUI options to add sprites and drag 'n drop events, playfield editors and such.

If they wont give you permission then I'd say make a similar game. What you're asking for is more than a few game genie codes. If you use Game Maker or Construct 2 it could be easy and fast enough you could do it yourself without forking over major $$ http://www.scirra.com/ http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/windows/ As a plus any game that you make with these can play in most modern web browsers.

It sounds more complicated then programming an eeprom. In the SuperCart thread I kept seeing words and phrases that confused and angered my simple mind. Something about soldering your fingers to jumpers and copy protection. If the SuperCart had a zif socket and some other utility helped with the encryption stuff I'd be willing to buy an eeprom programmer.

Thanks for looking. Yeah, you got the alpha-numeric characters down. I'm seeing block gradients though. Things beyond one half solid blocks more like 1/4 and 1/3 and 2/8 of a solid block in those pictures..

System 3 probably owns the rights from Epyx games: http://www.system3.com/ Maybe you should check with them on licensing first.

I know this is the TI section but I'm at a loss trying to find this Sharp MZ-700 font. See these screenshots? http://30th700.hatenablog.com/ They have horizontal and vertical gradients that I just don't see in the Euro or Japanese fonts. Does anyone know which font set these characters come from?

Normally I'd think that one would make a function that returns a binary value from a DATA statement like so: (assuming the DATA statement is named "leveldata") function levelarray rem The first argument is the x value wanted from the level data rem The second argument is the y value wanted levelx = temp1 levely = temp2 rem Figure out what 8-bit value that has the bit we need whatcell = levelx * levely rem Divide that value by 10 to get the position of the bit we want from that 8-bit value whatbit = whatcell / 10 rem Read the 8-bit cell we want to a variable thecell = leveldata[whatcell] rem Return the bit we want from the 8-bit value return thecell[whatbit] end Is this how it works?

The question remains how do we distract JayBird3rd and steal a flash cart for testing? I mean have him write the whole thing! oops.. dangit.. blurted out the evil plan!

I never made any mistakes with my INTV. Someone else in my family always had one so I never had a chance to sell my own off or misplace it. I DID make that mistake with my NES games. Once I realised Funcoland bought back used games I sold almost every game off. I then spent the next few years trying to get back every game. Ack!

It's a little bit more complicated, I think. cc65 has varying support for different systems. Some libraries are pretty good and others aren't maintained as well.

I think JohnnyRockets is still fishing for a system to start with. Since his last reply was more than a month ago I doubt he chose the 7800. 7800 dev is still out of reach for non-assembly coders. One person managed to scrounge together enough to start his own C project: http://rfk7800.sourceforge.net/ GroovyBee is working on a more robust C library but that is still in the future.
