  1. That is not an Amiga, it's Gunnar's MiSTer in an Amiga case...
  2. Are you also using that square metal box reading "HD Video Converter - Scart/HDMI to HDMI 720P/1080P" that is available off AliExpress (e.g.)?
  3. Sorry to revive this thread, but I also acquired a copy of this trilogy that read "Atari 400/800 and Commodore 64" on the package, yet mine only contained one disk labelled Commodore 64. I tried to boot it - back side up - anyway, but to no avail. And I was unable to find an ATR or even an ATX of this trilogy, only of the separate games. Does anyone really have a working copy?
  4. Hi Rolo! I did some research because my Genius G540 doesn't seem to work with Windows 10 - amongst the affordable Chinese models, the MiniPro TL866 models seem to be very popular - to an extent that someone even developed a Linux open source software for them: https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/minipro/
  5. I suppose your TV set does not have PAL decoding built into it then (strange, as I was under the impression that until recently pretty much all of the modern TV sets come with a triple-standard video input decoder (NTSC, PAL, SECAM), as here in Europe they all had one, e.g.: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/6a3a15bd
  6. Master Blazer on the Amiga was done by Thomas Schulz - known as "8Bitjunkie" around here. It was his first commercial game IIRC.
  7. "A naked man has few secrets, a man forced listening to my music - none." - Michael Bolton

      So will a naked man forced to listen to Michael Bolton's music start telling you *other people's* secrets?

  8. Interested in one unit. Now time to acquire such a drive...
  9. I have spent small amounts on our national lottery several years back, but never won significant amounts (small "wins" only that required three correctly guessed numbers). I would never bet on a regular pattern though, because way too many people do and they all only get the fair share (proof: when on January 23, 1998 the drawn numbers were 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, 32 (we have to choose 6 out of 49 numbers, the forms arrange the numbers in a 7 by 7 grid, so these numbers looked very neat on paper) we had 222 winners who had all six numbers correct, each one winning the staggering sum of 84,803.90 German Marks; when on April 10th, 1999 the numbers were 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 26, more than 38K people had five of these correct and each of them won DM 194.24 - usually five correctly guessed numbers win a five-digit or even six-digit sum).
  10. You really they'd go to court against users and/or AtariAge because several people here wrote that the emperor has no clothes? I am not common with UK law, but in order to prove libel according to german law they'd have to provide evidence that the AtariBox exists and/or they are working on it seriously. If it exists, why didn't show it in their campaign? if they are working on it, why is there not a shred of information regarding the process in their campaign? If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, only a Centauri would refer to it as a cat.
  11. July salary was booked on my giro account today and includes the vcation allowance, totalling €2,371.36. Should I spend the allowance for Atari stuff or invest it...?

      so you asked people on atariage for advice then promptly gave yourself the advice you wanted. Makes sense

      I only said I will not invest in Atari SA - well, investing the 36 cents into that penny stock wouldn't hurt, but any real money?

      I invested my money in Disneyland lol.

  12. You do not even have to look on AliExpress - the Fujitsu Esprimo Q series PCs are nifty little machines that are available with i3 to i7 CPUs (albeit the i7 is much higher priced than the AtariEmptyBox), you can get a previous generation one with i5 on eBay for less than 200 Euros (Q520 and Q920, e.g.).
