For what it's worth, I'm using Chrome on Android & I have no such download warnings. It dutifully downloads stuff without frequent warnings. It's usually the Security crap of the website it will advise as Unsafe but let me keep a download anyway.

I remember buying Visicalc, making a copy, but then I edited the VTOC to allocate the sectors it took up and set up the rest of the disk as Atari DOS file system usable so I could save files on the same boot disk backup.

So how fat was that stack of money they slapped in your face? 😏 (That sounds rather disgruntled but I'm sure I'm not alone in these opinions. And you could've disagreed to let Atari wave that cash stack.) That explains July.

It would have been nice to see this ROM dumped and shared with the community considering its uniqueness.

This sounds like a very bad business move and like the creation of the universe made a lot of people very angry. What happened which required this series of unfortunate events? And it's not like Atari Age is the only means by which those games can be produced. It may have been the easiest but doesn't preclude individual authors from making their own stock.

We didn't know the flashing caused problems until that Pokemon episode did it. Just make sure you don't sit too close to the screen and play in a brightly lit room!

Has anyone converted this to an audio file and loaded it with the Starpath Supercharger? Does it play nice with the device?

Get a voltmeter / ohmmeter and check each card edge to ROM pin for continuity. Inspect the PCB board traces as well. You might find a broken trace or bad solder. I've never had a Popeye cartridge so I don't know if there are other passives in there. Your last worse case scenario would be a dead ROM. In which case save the dead cartridge for parts. ☝ That thread mentions Star Wars The Arcade Game on cartridge. I bought this and Q*bert and they work on the 800XL.

TextPro 4.0 or something like that. I even used it to edit binary files and the occasional GIF ('jiff') picture file, like extracting individual animation frames. Speedscript 3.0 was also useful.

Umm.. There is no "master / slave" switch on the 1050 drive. There ARE drive numbering switches. And no RS232 port. If you mean SIO, then that's no RS232.

If Vertical Blank timing is a critical part of code execution, that would affect things. Some PAL designed code crashes on NTSC machines. It might require some DLI adjustment to squash the display down (or up?) a bit for those extra bits for extra time because you can always shut off the screen for a little bit but you must always hit that VBSYNC. It's really odd (and sad) this is basically the difference. The OS might also be a little different. Anywho, something to think about.

I have no problem downloading from the link on that page. Using Chrome on Android, I just tell it to Keep it after the false advisory pops up. The owner of the page / server really needs to update their security certificate. Otherwise, it's perfectly fine to override your browser's alert and tell it to shut up.

Yes! Laat time I tried posting with a BASIC listing, some weird security check blocked it. 10 OPEN #2,8,0,"P:" 20 PRINT #2,"This is a test";CHR$(10);CHR$(13) 30 CLOSE #2 40 END You open a channel, output to it, then close it to force the OS to send the data and get dumped and sent. The interface gets forced to deal with it and sends it to the printer.

Try using an Open #2 8 0 P: command Print to #2 whatever you want And then Close #2 You can add the Chr$ 13 and chr$ 10 if you want but do not end with a semicolon. Sometimes Atari printer channeling is funky like that.

Stick a meter across it and measure. It looks like a 22 ohm resistor.
