  1. am loving it. that sites rocks, though i'd like to see more 8 bit stuff.
  2. sorry. found what i was looking for. I'll see if admins can remove the other cross-posts. found what i was looking for.
  3. I'll check it out thanks.... ...As this is a good enough start, I may just have the admins remove the other cross-posts.
  4. ...but i can't draw! example: http://lpugh.deviantart.com/art/8-Bit-Firefox-Icon-215241134 am working on a game engine (for both Windows and Linux but mainly Linux) but not necessarily a game and am in desperate need of retro-themed or retro-styled 8 bit and or 16 bit images. non-game specific. doesn't matter. any format. any image. (even an found an icon that looks like an 8 bit version of the 24 bit firefox icon). help? sorry for the multi-cross-post but as my project is not game/machine specific...wasn't sure where to post it? O_o (forum admins: please move and or delete posts as necessary)

  7. does anyone know how to make B&W the default in Stella for all the games that had or used a B&W mode; rather than individually per game?
  8. Once I got my HD setup back in the early 90's I first used MyDOS but settled on SDX after I bought the RT:8 cart.
  9. Hey I've read nearly all the threads (both on AtariAge and other forums) regarding Atari DOS 3. I still even have my DOS 3 (the "bug-free" version) Master Disk that came with my original 1050. As with many here, it was the first DOS I used before I stumbled upon DOS 2.5 and later MyDOS followed by SpartaDOS (my fav). Other than being a seemingly worthless POS, it is neat to just tinker around with. Has any programmer's information ever been located for DOS 3? For example, I...

  10. Hey I've read nearly all the threads (both on AtariAge and other forums) regarding Atari DOS 3. I still even have my DOS 3 (the "bug-free" version) Master Disk that came with my original 1050. As with many here, it was the first DOS I used before I stumbled upon DOS 2.5 and later MyDOS followed by SpartaDOS (my fav). Other than being a seemingly worthless POS, it is neat to just tinker around with. Has any programmer's information ever been located for DOS 3? For example, I remember a small patch on some of the BBS's back in the day for the XL series that converted DOS 3 from Enhanced Density to true Double Density (IIRC this came out either shortly before DOS 2.5 or thereafter) for some non-Atari DD drives (like my rana had a hard time reading Enhanced Density DOS 3 disks but reads Ehanced Density DOS 2.5 disks just fine, not sure now if it was my disks or the drive). Weren't there some commercial programs that used DOS 3? Any programmer's or developer's information would be greatly appreciated.
  11. wondering if there are websites dedicated to either Alternate Reality and or Temple of Apshai?

      There used to be a few AR websites but I haven't seen any in many years. I've never seen a T of A website. The AR websites used to have music, maps, etc. They were great.

  12. 2 questions: Is there a website (or websites) dedicated to either Alternate Reality (doesn't matter which one) and or Temple of Apshai? ...one where I can d/l the game (for an emulator) and at least has the maps (not just the walk-throughs)? Anyone ever complete these games? When was the last time you played it and or completed it?
  13. playing the noid on my C64

  14. warning: do not by the plug n play game that looks like an atari joystick (from Jakks Pacific) this Chiristmas. Poor, poor quality. Already had to return 4 of them due to the a/v cables not soldered correctly (or some other defect).

      I've got a real Atari VCS 4-switch woody, and I might even get a Sears sixer just for the hell of it :)

  15. nothing like a microwaved burito with tobassco sauce.

      ... especially when it explodes in the lunchroom microwave and all your coworkers hate you because the whole kitchen smells like burnt beans.

  16. HEY! Get a load of this....

  17. i intend to take it to source forge once i get something going which, hopefully, will be real soon.
  18. #carrireriq - I find it funny that the last name of the representative who is explaining its software and how it works to the media is "Coward" I kid you not.

  19. problem is I don't like flash for game development and i doubt i'm the only one that feels that way. even java is not my cup-o-joe (no pun intended). i'm not looking at making another emulator outright but more an engine that'll make it easier to mimic the old games: gameplay, sound, graphics, etc. all these modern remakes of our favorite games use modern graphics and sound; but what I am trying to do is allow a programmer to recreate these games (2600 Outlaws or 2600 Donkey Kong for example) without the need of or use of an emulator.
  20. obviously sound will be much easier to simulate than color/graphics; may have to simulate in a window versus full screen to get the proper effect. controllers (either analog/digital) only slightly easier than sound (a simple software-based AD/DA convertor might do the trick).
