  1. Hello A8 programmers. I work for Retrocade Magazine, and I am doing an article on small, cool, interesting, fun, BASIC programs for the a8, and will put the source code, along with the authors name, and what they call their program, and a brief Bio about the person. If you would like to be featured in it, submit your code to me by E-mail, or Private Message on here. A group of people will vote and the winners will be contacted.

  2. Go ahead and continue discussing plastics, but can we all just agree to not let that Billy Mays guy see this? I can only imagine the late night infomercials "oxycute-ing" all the old classics...

     

     

    Billy Mays died in like 2009 dude.

     

    Six months after the quoted post was written...

     

    LOL! I started checking dates on threads I'm replying to in recent years because of sticky threads and people drudging up old threads and if your not careful, your a dollar short and a day late on your comments.

     

    Oh Wow. lol this is a large thread...


  3. Ah good idea, and I will be running on a real system, but the only problem is the only bB Homebrew I Have is my own, and I dont own a Harmony cart or have the money to buy one right now. I was thinking though, I could take my computer, and make an account with a Hex Editor open, Kwrite (text editor) with the bB and the ASM, and then RT's website open as well and the bB forums.


  4. The 6 switch and Harmony don't go together well. the carts used for the harmony are a little big for the sixer models, because they were made from Red Label carts and they were made later and atari made the screw mast differently. if you want to test your game with the harmony, a four switch woody is the way to go.


  5. Hey man been looking at this awhile and been wanting to play with it but haven't had the time or place to mess with it for a bit...

     

    AWESOME PROJECT....

     

    Can't get it to work for the life of me though.

     

    Music and Sound editor gives me exceptions...who cares...be nice to have it work....BUT

     

    The damned thing freezes on compile on me...no [email protected] does.

     

    EVERY FREEAKIN TIME EVERY MACHINE

     

    What gives?

     

    Simple stuff...gotta know I do understand this...changed every install every directory...every suggested new batch...

     

    Machine is doing something...yep watched task manager FOR HOURS...but it never compiles a binary.

     

    Yeah know what I am doing and this thing is like a wet dream. But it isn't working. HELP.

    draw_loop

    drawscreen

    goto draw_loop

     

    Yep...that freezes the compile...for hours...every possible install or configuration. YES the program says it is doing lots in the system but never compiles.

     

    HELP?????

     

     

    just FYI, don't just copy and paste code, there is a tool in this editor that looks like "< >" that i for code, and makes it look like this:

  6. you could get a styrofoam block, carve it a little bit smaller than atari's demensions, then wrap the foam in fiberglass and rosin so it makes a shell, and then dremel out the foam, and then polish, and slap a label on it and walla!
