Ha, no kidding. What is wrong with this dude? He calls out the 8bit guy for being a jerk, acts like a total turd himself, and then blocks anyone for calling him out on it. Kind of sounds like the 8bit guy may have reacted to him in the same way we have, and were called jerks for it and blocked. Some people have too much self-worth, apparently.

I was going to say the exact same thing. I want to be in the cool kids group and get ignored by this guy too! That way he will be left without seeing my amazing quips.

I still need to get a Concerto... also an 80 column display for my 800 or 1200xl... or maybe one of the 800xls, can't decide which I want to type on..

Yeah, I mean the ones I would be interested in is the memory and the 80 column display card!

Who else has the capabilities to help finish this up? Would be pretty sweet to get the 1090XL after all these years...

Hahaha, I have seen this video. It was epic fail. We've all done something stupid before (I ruined our 1050 when I was young by opening it up and pulling out the happy chip, ti see what it looked like, then when I put it in, I didn't notice the pins were offset by one row... we had to send it off for repair, and we never saw it again...

100% I mean this looks amazing. And just goes to show how truly capable the old GTIA/ANTIC really is.

I once was able to find a +3 numberwang, but it had the curse of having more wang than number, so I left it behind for a hobbit.

It is the hidden button on the inside of the controller that was going to launch Battlewheels, but they forgot about it until Hasbro found it in the plans, and then decided not to release that one random gem.

Ha, I was saying it as tongue in cheek. Was there a button 18 that was removed later?

It will soon be upon us!

Not what I had always read. Pretty much it has been said that they offered Atari Games to Tramiel fir dirt cheap and he wasn't interested in coin ops at all. So they later sold it off (I thought Williams got it for some reason, but it probably was Namco)

I always expext him to pop in and do quotes. But... No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

@DrVenkman

Huh, why didn't he also buy Atari Games then? Seems he could have had the whole enchilada.

I was going to look up the address and do this very thing a while back, but got distracted by things. It's not terribly far from Sunnyvale.

Or a plethora of emulators.

Ha! Yeah with my post I preceded it by a 'Ha' for that very reason. Just because a chip is the same, doesn't mean a whole lot. You kind of perfected the method of porting ST games, but the Genesis is a bit different of a beast!

Ah, one of the games that were on the box, but never released, along with Battlewheels.

Ha, so it should be easy to create a Megadrive / Genesis emulator on the Jaguar, right??

Pretty sure button 18 is the combo button of * and # for reset, right?

It is pretty sweet. I was trying to not build the whole thing in one go, but then regretted it and went ahead and purchased the rest of the drives. In the end, 32gb of RAM, 2x 1tb nvme drives for cache, and 8x6tb of drives.

That's a great idea! I should have set up something similar when I had the Saitek X52 set up on my computer. Now I have a Thrustmaster warthog, which has the weight it needs to not move around on it's own.

Just noticed you have a mirror there in front of the 810. For some 80s style cocaine!

These kind of look like the Atari 1090XL http://www.atarimuseum.com/computers/8BITS/XL/xlperipherals/1090xl.html Paint the shell white and it'd look like it'd fit right in with the XL line
