  1. Rybags,

    you are right! It does work with your program, sorta, kinda. First off line 50 needs to be goto 30 not 10. After that change it speaks, but not properly, it's kind-of gibberish. You can definitely hear sounds, but they aren't words. Sort of like when you die in Q-bert and he curses at you. Usually the final phenome continues after it pronounces the gibberish until the next word is entered. Putting a "Y" at the end makes the speech stop after the word. I could have sworn that I saw some actual phonetic speech for this machine somewhere, then I remembered the 1400XL telecommunitor cart that I bought came with a photocopied sheet that lists all of the words used on the cart. Here are some samples:

     

    Voice Off = VOYSPA1AWFF

    Voice on = VOYSPA1AWN

    Normal Screen = NO1RMLLSKREN

     

    Etc. The problem is that while it sounds perfect when the communicator cart does it, the speech is unrecognizable is BASIC. We are missing something. Any ideas?

     

    cheers,

    Have you tried sending the phenome string in reverse yet?


  2. Becouse i was busy, drilling enclosures,assembly boards ,etc....Effect: SIDE X65/130xe and 800 xl version with MENU button on top in 3 colours black, grey-white and red, yellow and green also aviable

     

    With my order of 2, I would like 1 with red and the 2nd with green if you get those, otherwise the 2nd can be white...

     

    Thanks,

    Jay


  3. I have LotsaBytes #11 and #12. They were mostly BASIC games, and I don't know if I even played any of them. One game is "Popcorn" I believe from ANALOG #26.

    #11 was "Games", #12 was "Adventures".

     

    If you can make ATR's of those and post them, that would be cool :)

    I have a few disks, but most have failed over the years...

  4. sorry guys, fix is ready since 3pm, but not properly named, thus unavalable through that link

    use this instead and just browse for the proper one

    it was hard coded as x=1289, so it was invisible on some configurations

    i'm running 1920x1200, so i haven't noticed ;]

     

    Working on both PC's now :) thanks...

  5. @Candle regarding Ultimate1MB ROM Generator

     

    I just tried this on my XP and Win95 PC's and seems that the GUI has a Hard Coded "Start-up Window Position" that is set for too far off the right edge of the screen. On XP, I only see it in the task bar, but on Win95 I can see it Grow/Shrink to the far right of the screen, but since that display is only 1024 x 768, I don't see any visible part of the GUI :(

     

    Can you change the startup position to "Center Screen" instead?

  6. A Falcon sold here about a week ago for $670.

     

    I'd like one, but for what I'd ever do with it I'd not go over about $150. But near zero chance of ever finding one that cheap.

     

    I bought one locally from a store that was liquidating all their Atari stuff back in '94 for $600, nice to see that they are still holding their value 17 years later :)

    Also got a bunch of A8 carts and floppies, plus a Mega 4...

     

    I like the Falcon since I can use it on a VGA monitor with the adapter and that it has an internal DSP circuit with the external port, but never did find any docs on programming it :(

     

    Would've been nice to see something done with the AppleTalk port...
