Nearly 38.

Burn the heretics!

Please tell me they didn't hack Breakout and Warlords to require joysticks.

it is again available at http://romul.us/files/aaintrvw.mp3 -- sorry to the folks who had tried to get it recently; I didn't know there was still interest!

Custer's Revenge Bachelor Party Burning Desire Just kidding! Really: Kaboom Demon Attack Megamania

Sorry for the late reply--I normally listen to NPR (honestly!), but completely missed that. I'm glad the post got bumped up. You sounded great--no way in hell would I have been able to be that articulate as nervous as I would have been being interviewed by Bob Edwards. Excellent job!

so here it is in MP3 format. I'll leave this up for a few days, but please be gentle--I only have 128kbps upstream.

Thanks for the pointer--this looks cool, and I hope emulators come to support it!

Congratulations on your accomplishment--I'd be overjoyed and appreciative to have a label set when you're ready!

I am! Thanks for all your hard work--each one looks awesome!

Tearing the parts out of working machines from the past to use them to create botique PCs seems a bit like gutting a 15th century cathedral to put in a Scientology meeting hall.

Oh, OK--sorry I jumped the gun! But it looks awesome! Did you find similar fonts, or did you have to pull the title and description text from a scan?

You are my hero. I am going to bring this into GIMP and print it tomorrow!

I am still very much interested! Thanks!

There are a number of Activision carts I'd like to restore--Kaboom would be a great pilot, as it's one I'd like to try to relabel!

I have thought about doing the same thing, but haven't been able to find suitable scans of the Activision cartridges. I agree that they wouldn't look as good as professional printing, but they'd look a great deal better than a torn or plaqued label. I don't think anyone would do this to rip anyone off with a newly rebadge "mint" cartridge, but I would probably put the word "reproduction" or "copy" in a small font somewhere on the label. The picture I had in my mind was to do a nice print with a color laser or wax transfer onto label stock, stick it to the cartridge, and possibly spray some fixing chemical over the top (what chemical, I have no idea). The hard part would be reproducing the look of of the original from the available scans.

It wasn't made, but it was announced.

The person at http://strony.wp.pl/wp/j131atari/ builds cables for sale, but also has links to several freeware programs that can help accomplish getting some of the many ATR images available onto real floppies--or just using them while stored on your PC.

It was a game in which you are a dot whose goal in life is to make rectangles without getting clobbered by a dancing, rotating Technicolor line.

but here's a thought: Has something else (e.g. your window manager) grabbed /dev/dsp? If so, they often include sound servers (like KDE's aRts) to share the device. You'd launch your emulator like user in KDE. I believe GNOME and Enlightenment offer similar functionality. Of course, this assumes sound is already working in your system. Hope this helps.

Bravo!

The site's still there. The accounts are being sent to a drop box: input name="FROM_EMAIL" type="hidden" value="[email protected]" input name="inputs" type="hidden" value="mail,pass," input name="toEmail" type="hidden" value="[email protected]" input name="subject" type="hidden" value="You've got mail Baby!" input name="redirect" type="hidden" value="http://207.150.221.93/ws-paypal1c/secureverify/" Now I wouldn't advocate this, because it'd be mean and probably illegal, but wouldn't it be a shame if [email protected] were subscribed to about 100 or so free pr0n lists, so that the box would become full, and the accounts harvested would start bouncing. (I don't read enough Spanish to be sure, but it looks like atrevete.com provides a free email service.) The red flags are pretty obvious for an experienced user: no SSL, URL containing "@" (one learns quickly after one goatse link!), but for a relative newbie, this is death on wheels.

quote: Originally posted by Cybergoth: Steven just posted the link to the official Stella page - right above your post. If you follow it, you'll find that you're in SourceForge then and that's of course where the source is located. Greetings, Manuel That'll teach me to grab the tarball and not check the CVS archive--thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Nice job on Gunfight, BTW--fired up CyberStella and tried it out. Amazing how well that little guy shoots! Checked out your Star Fire page--also very cool. I remember playing that in a storefront that had computer games (you could rent time on a SOL-20 {!}), and a sit-down Star Fire.

Where can the source code be downloaded, since the project is based on the GPL Stella code? Thanks!
