I didn´t know this game, but looks fun. Just downloaded it: http://airtaxigame.com/

Just go with the most spoken language in the world. And that´s not English, Chinese, Arab or anything. It actually is BAD english. 😆

You mean, like 4 cabs battling for the customers? With a Mini-Racer as Bonus-Levels? Would be great on A800 and also should work with MultiJoy on XL/XE. I´m not interested in "blowing commodore out of the water", but this addition just would make a super fun Multiplayer-Game

I'm one of those who got it thanks to @olix and just assembled it. Straight forward and easy job, works like a charme. Yes, I'm very happy.

Yes, I don´t use Parallels since 7 or 8 years. Just using wine, which doesn´t force you to install a full windows. For what I need, it is enough. Altirra and MadStudio start just like any native Mac app. You should give it a try, doesn´t eat much resources.

Errrm ... what?

Just want to give Kudos to @Mr Robot: Downloaded the server zip file, installed like it is described, put it in an Raspi 2 - works right away. Great job!

That easy? Cool. Just go ahead an do it. 😆

I beg your pardon. The bad C seems to dazzle my brain. All is fine! Tested on real hardware: works with sound. Then checked again and realized, that my laptop decided to connect with the wireless headphones next room... 🙃

I don´t hear any audio. 🤔

Now add a crosshair and controls, then we have "SnowMissile Command" 🕹️

I can run "wine64" from everywhere, as it is the $PATH variable. Actually, $PATH leads to /opt/homebrew/bin in which wine64 links to the above mentioned folder. I´ve added "env; set" to the bash script and will check. A quick test with some really short snippets showed no issues so far.

There is an issue which surely is not on Altirras side, but I´m not sure how to track it down, and it´s been there for Altirra 3.x already, but I was too comfortable with the command line to investigate the issue more in detail. I use Mac OS X Sonoma 14.0 on M1 (but this issue exists on Intel Macs and older OS, too) with wine installed through homebrew. When I start Altirra directly from the terminal ('win64 Altirra64.exe') all runs fine. But as I´m a lazy, snobby Mac user (please add any stereotypes you like, I´ll gladly ignore them) I´ve created an APP using Apple script editor, so I can start Altirra like any other APP by just clicking the Altirra-Icon that sits in my dock. Starts fine, but after a few seconds, Altirra simply freezes. Could be my bad Apple Script, could be wine, but surely not Altirra. For starters, here my Apple Script, which I write in Apple scripteditor.app and then save as APP: do shell script "/Applications/Wine\\ Devel.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin/wine64 /Applications/Atari/8Bit/Altirra/Altirra64.exe" Of course, the paths are my personal paths, you might have to adopt them to your actual paths. First thing I never cared about: When I simply use "wine64" without the full path ahead, like I do in Terminal, the script fails. Obviously it ignores the path. Maybe it sounds like I´m good in the command line, but this is just mimicri. I only now the stuff, that I think I need. Anyway: Open it that way, it works, but only a few seconds. The same is, when I use the shell-script to call Altirra as emulator from WUDSN-IDE: #/!bin/bash fullpath="${1//\"}" lstfile=${fullpath%*.xex}.lst sed "/mads /a\\ Source: $lstfile " $lstfile > $lstfile.temp mv $lstfile.temp $lstfile FILE="${fullpath%*.}" basename "$FILE" f="$(basename -- $FILE)" /Applications/Wine\ Devel.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin/wine64 /Applications/Atari/8Bit/Altirra/Altirra64.exe $f I can set that *.sh-file as Emulator in WUDSN IDE and it will open it with the compiled program. But after a while it freezes. I´m asking you for help to track down what the problem is. Just tell me, if I forgot to mention something important here. And please let me know which kind of log files or whatsoever I should observe/create to track down that issue.

flakes.mp4 PAL 800XL

I don´t care and want one, even if I´m late to the party (or already ordered and forgot it again 😇 )

Back in the days I tried to ignore the guys who wanted to beat me up. Ignoring hurts.

I have a bad Pokey which only fails for keyboard, but sound is fine, so I just use that one as the secondary Pokey and all is fine. That said: Don´t throw away bad PoKeys, they might be still good for Stereo installs.

In ABBUC Magazine #144 I wrote a crash tutorial about exactly that, with sample code. Check that magazine, don´t have the code at hand now (busy with all the xmas shows rn)

Got my VCS 2600 when I was 7 years old, the 800XL with 12 and the 2600+ three days after turning 51 🙃

Me too. On Mac OS. So Screenshot is SHIFT+CMD+3 (or 4, depends on what I want). 🙃

Will test with OSXEX2 file tomorrow.

I will test, if you tell me exactly what. PAL A400, doesn´t boot with top door open, will change that, but so can only confirm cart fits into slot. PAL A800 with Incognito, powers up with top door open. Behaviour identical in Colleen and XL mode: Cart fits super tight. SIO cable too short. Will use Hub next time (middle of night here). "Missing..." probably due to missing SIO? Same Cart and SD Card works fine on all my XLs, XEs and XEGS.

I have two NTSC-Systems, second one is in the basement, will add that one later. Both systems are unmodified. Here's skr XEGS #1: Console: A17C4039369 Keyboard: A1811125465
