Now, I’m very intrigue to try a c64. I never played with one except here and there. All I know about 8-bit (not that is much) is Atari. I have read about other 8-bit systems but never caught my interest.

Cool!! I hope someone knows more about this.

Forgive my ignorance about c64, but does this mean that c64 had better games toward the end ?

Let’s hope that maybe in 2022 things will be better to have a 8 player game which 8 player game is great for the family ?

@Mr Robot Would this cause a delay or this delay would not be noticeable? Would the input be placed in a queue and as it went around, it pop only one sample?

How does the Atari can set apart the 8 controllers?

Great. I find using git-bash provides many of the functionalities (maybe not all of them) than Cygwin. I have used Cygwin. That's great to know. I have a linux server at the university that I use and my mac (which is in my office right now). But it is great to have this for Windows as well, as I used it a lot. Thanks

very nice.

you are right.

For me, it showed 75. Who knows how much did it show for the buyer.

i’m case this question was lost in the previous answer: I'm using the zero-installation files (it is a lot easier to get them working than setting up, at least for right now... but I will set it up later). It is working. However, if I create a new file, say hw.asm and then says open with MADS, I will get it to work and show the right syntax colors. When I open Eclipse, it goes away, only for my file and I have to do open with MADS again.

I think it has to be ATARI text. It seems to be ">" character as EOL (at least it seems when I pasted) into Eclipse. I could write a program to replace that, remove the line numbers and clean the file. Before I do, if there is anything done, I would rather use that.

Hi, I'm trying to convert the following listing from Atari Roots https://www.atariarchives.org/roots/chapter_7.php, The first two in the chapter (maybe the only two) to use in in Eclipse editor compiling with MADS. I know I will have to make some changes. My problem is adding the new line (CR) to the file. I could do it by hand, which I think I will do for now, or I could write a small program to do it. However, there has to be something easier. I searched the forum but I couldn't find how to do this. I don't think the files were saved in Linux because Sublime will open them fine. However, sublime and other editors just see it as a one line. I'm using Windows right now. Maybe they were saved as atari text files? Thanks,

Thanks -- Good to know By the way, I meant 65C816

I'm still amazed that we have this and thank you @JAC! I'm going to ask a question but I have to confess, I didn't read all the pages in this thread or watch all the tutorials. I will watch the tutorials soon. Here are two questions. 1. I'm using the zero-installation files (it is a lot easier to get them working than setting up, at least for right now... but I will set it up later). It is working. However, if I create a new file, say hw.asm and then says open with MADS, I will get it to work and show the right syntax colors. When I open Eclipse, it goes away, only for my file and I have to do open with MADS again. 2. Has anyone made this work (and I'm assuming that it is possible) for the 16-bit compilers for the 65c802, for example using @drac030 's ASM compiler (ELSA) ? ELSA: Thanks

That's good to hear. And yes, 1088XEL do uses original Atari Chips. I'm not sure about 576+ (but maybe it does too, I think). Of course, then we have FPGA, which I'm planning to get sometime next year. And the emulators.

I don’t know much about electronics but how long can the atari 8-bit equipment last ? This is why I think is great what @mytekis doing. I can’t wait to receive my ready to go 1088xel

I agree — maybe 500 tops but even at that is a lot. I’m waiting for my 1088XEL, and I hope to get the xld and then 576+ I still look at hardware and is tempting but I agree

Something interesting happened. Note that I did not win the auction. As soon as the auction ended, the seller contact me. I had not win the Auction. He said that the buyer did not want to pay shipping (I do think the shipping is a bit high to be honest). This sounded suspicious to me. I wonder if this is possible but maybe he had another account to bid and increase the price? I'm not sure if eBay monitors this. I purchased something after I lost, so I told the seller that he can feel free to relisted. He said he will relisted for buy now 500 + shipping. But the winner won for 591 + shipping. So, if he is willing to bring it down to 500, I wonder why he would not find a way to fix this with the buyer. Of course, I do think that is bad that a buyer does not stand by his/her word. However, this seems to me a bit strange. I sold some stuff in eBay years ago (maybe like 15 years ago). So, I'm not sure if this is common or not.

it went for 591+shipping

This is going to go for at least 700 I think.

Hi, I'm looking for two books: * Atari Roots * Atari Graphics and Arcade Game Design Ideally in good condition and no smell. I have the print out and PDFs but I want the actual books. Thanks

I found this book https://www.amazon.com/Programming-65816-Including-65C02-65802/dp/0893037893/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=65c816&qid=1606500684&sr=8-1 Is there any other book or resource that you recommend for the 68c186? Of course, the different question if I would have much time to do anything. The Atari Roots foe 6502 atari seems good. I have done assembly like this but never in the Atari. Very cool answers @ivop and @drac030 Thank you so much for taking the time to feed my curiosity.

If someone developed a game or graphical application on the rapidus, could you go directly to vbxe? wouldn’t the joystick be a problem !

Would Rapidus be able to access vbxe directly or would need to use the 6502 or some other component? Wouldn’t a game slow down to read the joystick input ?
