Modding PS/2 optical mouse for Atari?

[Modding PS/2 optical mouse for Atari?]

I made a new pcb for my ST mouse using the sensor Agilent H2000 from old Genius Netscroll two years ago. Those old chips have quadrature output, the same as our Atari ST. The new mouse is really great.

 

[New design of Multijoy.]

I found this and downloaded it last night but haven't tried it yet.  Is it specific to the Dallas RTC mentioned in the blog post or will it work with the US?

in the doc is written is works as Y2K fix only when th Dallas is not installed

[Ultra Satan Clock on 1040STE]

There is a trouble with storing the year in the TOS. Try Y2K fix program from Troed.

[Book: We Love Atari - Volume Two]

I totaly forget volume 2 as my real life went crazy these days. But fortunately found the thread and ordered one of the last copies. It arrived last week. I have just went fast thru it and need more time to read it all but it is really great.  Thanks Karl for making both volumes.

[Fujiama 2019 (one week of Atari 8 bit fun)]

[Harley Davidson with Virtual Floppy & audio players for STE ++]

I forgot that game. Thenk you for your patch.

[2 button joystick ?]

This all is really nice, thanks for all pathes.

BTW I remember there was version of Missile Command with 3 turrets. But ihey were operated from keyboard. It would be great to have version with joystick buttons, or maybe we can hack also the trackball

[What to do in monochrome while waiting for a color cable?]

you can play ZebuLand

[Hebrew! (built-in)]

yep, it is there and I was curious about the usage also

[Sails of Doom, new multijoy game]

It is not easy to tell how many interfaces are out. I think I build around 15 and also sold +-15 bare boards to people in Czech, Slovak and Germany. But there are others who sold MultiJoy. I know about user here who made small run. It was possible to buy it from some ABBUC members in Germany.

[Sails of Doom, new multijoy game]

How many of those Multijoy 8 interfaces been sold? The only game I ever made that supports it is Surround'Em, but I made it optional where it still works with the 2 standard joystick ports. The software detects the 400/800 OS and lets you play the game using 4 joystick ports on the Atari 800. I see some software is written for the interface. Maybe if a few good games were written, it will generate more interest.

 

Fandal has 60 games in his archive, you can check it here: http://a8.fandal.cz/search.php?search=multijoy&butt_details_x=x

[Sails of Doom, new multijoy game]

I am not sure how many PCBs for MultiJoy Zdenek has home. I think there are 2 or 3 which could be finished soon. If there is demand we could order next 10 or 20 boards. Just write here if you really want one.

[PLATOTerm for Atari ST]

looks really nice. Did you try it on the real machine already?

[Fujiama 2018]

Here are my photos from Fujiama. It was a great party as usual.

wow so after the great Fandals Atari 8bit port we have it on Jaguar! Thanks

[Whats up with Jerzy Sobola's site]

thanks

[Whats up with Jerzy Sobola's site]

just tried the Jerzys web with schematics and it shows me only 404 Error.

Do anybody knows if it is gone forever?

[FLOP 61 - New Issue of the Floppy Disk Magazine]

Yes, Fandal and Marek were at Atariada too. You can check my photo collection here:

And I would like to visit Fujima

 

Hello Tonda

 

In two videos I see at least four people I know from the Fujiama meeting in Lengenfeld. (Bohdan, Jan, Zdenek and Zdenek) Something tells me, Fandal and Marek were at the Atariada too. Will you join us this year?

 

Sincerely

 

Mathy

 

PS since baktra is the topic starter and he's from the Czech republic too, the same question to you: Will you be joining us this year at the Fujiama 2018?

[Virtual Floppy Image TOS mod]

looks good. What about the version for TOS 2.06? Would it be possible?

[Why no custom resolutions on the ST? (Engineering reasons?)]

Yes why not, for example Atari 800 is very flexible. There are 3 steps in width 256/320/400 pixels (highrez). And with ANTIC display list you cen set up any number of lines. You must be just careful what TV can display.

 

It is a pity it is not possible to use overscan on ST some simple way. And unfortunately the LaceScan addon does not work with STE.

[Is the CosmosEx gone forever?]

There are documents for both SatanDisk and UltraSatan available on the jookie's website. You can download all schematics and PCBs in Eagle format and firmware from here:

[Light Gun game for the St?]

ST has not support for light gun in the joystick port. Therefore the gun uses the pin from serial port which can handle interrupt. There is even small sample code how to read the gun within BASIC.

@skr: your pic is awesome!
