  1. and I just upgraded to 9 it works the same way, so no worries. Rotate to re-cal or do it at start up by tapping holding the screen as it powers up. Set all your things the way you like and save...cfg It's good there is more than one way to do it. Just gotta make sure nothing is touching or pressuring the screen during power on. Your box, case, floppy disk, cat, or fat fingers better stay off it
  2. I just select rotate screen and ta-DA! re-calibrate ... yes it's re-calibration time... and that's how I do it... and then I save after it's calibrated and the screen and everything is set the way I want.. works great! No need to power up and down, insert a cord or not... just go in there and set it up.. almost like it was meant that way... I hope it still works that way on the newer versions...
  3. wow, just as a novelty this get my vote! Yep use the best of both version for the Atari's. I never thought I'd say this.... butt it is 'crappy' in a good way... tongue in cheek (lol) punny in a good way...there's so much crap it's funny!
  4. After explaining what the screen type is and why, and explaining screen size refers to the screen itself and not the PCB it is attached to. and all sorts of stuff like that... they finally sent me the correct screens! So next time I build for someone I must remember to keep my own unit instead of giving it to the other person. Figuring this is so easy, I can order it again and have it all done in about 15 minutes. Life doesn't work that way when ordering from china! So now I have one put together and waiting on another ardy for the second one! Long story short I now have an S-Drive Max ATX CAS! but flashed at 8b..... and now I need another micro sd card (well 2 of them)
  5. Always try to help get it packed safely... It's worth it, even if apprehensive or reluctant.. offer how to and pictures of the safe good way to do it. So many things are lost to the two story package drop of the sorting machines!
  6. I am meticulous so my monitor and my computer are calibrated. It's not perfect match but it's close enough... Heck the buggy in arcade machines themselves varied from pink to purple to red depending on how beaten up it was.... do a quick youtube search, I can't believe I said that.. I don't use the evil goog or tube or waze or maps.goog anymore.....
  7. ICD made a driver for the R-time 8 and DOS XE, I think it was called the DOS XE integration driver or some such blather, I will look for it. setting the time called an outside program that could set time and date... but the date could still be set from within DOS XE menu.
  8. @emkay I see code merged all the time borrowed, changed and spliced... wtf are talking about again? You don't get it... I watch graphics swapped changed and all the time.. I watch sprites redone all the time as well as characters mapping... But yes we agree it can shine on the Atari.. @Irgendwer I didn't mean to chase anyone away... I just wanted to know what direction and feelings everyone had and what they preferred to do in terms of it all. Your very good, I don't want to lose you. I am certain your far more constructive than I am, as time progresses I find some days I can't even name my children without thinking about it any more... Hope I didn't miss word anything. Hope you keep chiming in and helping. If I misspoke, offended some how or chose a wording that translates badly I apologize... what did I do?
  9. but it looks awesome on real Atari 130XE NTSC and on Gunstars 800 Pal machine, both LCD and CRT !!!! Must be an emu thing... did you set the 800 lum setting in Altira? It might just fix your wash out..
  10. yep, arcade colors version came out nice for both ntsc and pal n5c is a winner...
  11. side 0 raw 00.0.raw side 1 raw 00.1.raw interesting if the original drive encoded somewhere in the data what head it was using...
  12. make sure the fuse isn't blown in the transformer wall supply on board power supply section check diodes check capacitors check transistors report back your voltages grab the 1050 fsm from atarimania
  13. you have 3 groups of thought now... so do things split off into groups and see who does best? or does everybody work together trying in all directions... try both options and then run with whatever is showing the best response.? or everyone do their own thing and getting help from everyone as they go along. So many other ports to draw ideas from. (or wholesale ripping off of ) Then come back and merge them. I only mention this because it looks like the point has been reached where there are now some good ideas, bits and pieces.
  14. yes it's much better in the other newer version in the other thread, it says 5200 area but it is indeed 8 bit 800 series cartridge bin. much better... now if we just add the base-pad we roll off of in the beginning seriously though, later on that enemy rocket thing that tries to get at you from behind Looking good for me guys!

  16. ? con 80 works on all regular Atari's I own on crt's and lcd's is that a failing of the monitor you showed on or is something not right with the video out or something about video upgrade board or perhaps a vbxe driver in place of standard driver? I know in order for all of them to be working in sparta there is an order they need to be in the config
  17. is this adjusted to pal or something, my dirt is now bright yellow my backdrop is turquoise the mountains have brighter green foliage and the far mountains are blue with purple crests without light grey moon dust of is or snow.... maybe we left the moon and are on some far off planet? I love the improvements but this needs toning down or separate color palettes for ntsc and pall need to be done either by detection or whole version... This is bright yellow in person, turquoise, brighter green, bluish, then purple... camera phone doesn't show the almost neon leotard colors. the buildings on other screens would also look good again with the these colors being adjusted towards the less bright realm... my buggy is close to what it should be though 2nd picture tried to adjust using monitor controls....
  18. plenty of double density drives these day sure would be good, a hard disk friendly version of the all this stuff would be cool too!
  19. You can either punch a hole opposite the s1 hole in the jacket or you can add an index faker or ir diode detector pair on the other side of the actual drive spindle.
  20. Sure, not all cracks are complete or properly dons.. CSS is working to correct this, it may be some years till it's all done... By using an ATX, extended ATX, or PRO image, you get everything for the most part working and timed exactly as written and executed properly without hidden pitfalls that prevent a game or software from working perfectly. Even now people are surprised how diabolical the protections could be and the little changes are the difference between the proper look feel or experience a this title or that... It's also great if one were to want to make real disks, (yeah they are working on that) It's great to see all the loading screens and all that as well, cracked by the modem crew is not as nice as the normal splash screens and loaders.. more reasons but those are the main ones working off of originals to make improvements or hacks is far better than working on someones else hacked mess. Different approaches to fixing glitches and broken parts of the originals also get done. We end up with the very best!
  21. yep saw the freezing issue, and the impossible screen the other fellow mentioned might be due to game speed being faster on our systems of here.. needs a tweak
