My condolences to Stephen's loved ones and family. Sorry to hear of their loss and his passing.

Looks great!

Nice, thanks for the update! Looking good!

Great stuff!

I agree, great work!

Bonjour @drfloyd! Just from curiousity (and anticipation :)) I was wondering if anyone was found for the English translation or how that is going?

Yes, congratulations, well deserved!

Well I needed one more and didn't buy one during the last sale since I had Christmas shopping expenses. Now I'm glad I waited after seeing the price on this new sale.

Wow, lowest price I've seen. Dell on ebay has them for $118.99 with free shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225423082869 At that price, went ahead and picked up one more for my computer room. Price after tax was around $125.00.

Great, thanks for the report.

Thanks Allan! Always appreciated.

If you are looking to run games from ultrasatan and would like a menu selection program, check out the HDmenu. I've been adding some new features to simonsunnyboy's program and always appreciate any feedback and new users. There is a thread on atari-forum about it also if you want to read about some of the features or request additional capabilities. https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=29919

I've been converting some of Peter's hard-drive adapted GAMEX games over to his improved HAGA system. During the course of conversion, there were some games that were found to be region-locked and wouldn't work on a NTSC system. So these were unlocked and now they run ok on my STE. Of course, some games may not work properly if designed around the timings for PAL. But so far, the games that were unlocked have only the side effect of slightly faster music speed. Anyway, I would like to compile a list of any of Peter's hard drive adapted games that people know don't work on their NTSC systems. It's hard to go through all 1600+ games individually :). The intention is to then make such games region-free if possible. So far these games have been patched to allow them to run on NTSC machines (HAGA versions): Alien Syndrome Federation Quest I - B.S.S. Jane Seymour (thanks Peter) Cisco Heat Chase HQ Chase HQ 2 (thanks Peter) Well, how about it? Anyone know any other games that won't work on their NTSC machines?

There is good news that Peter has released his HAGA updated and shop-key fixed release of Captive! It can be downloaded at his site.

Many thanks as usual! Good work preserving these!

@Randy Ok, no need for the dumps. Found where the key was checked and put a bypass in there and the shop opens fine now. At least on the first base. I'll let Peter know about where to patch as I know he is working on a HAGA version.

Thanks for the technical description of the key values. I'm thinking that shoud be something that is possible to track down the problem with. @Randy Have you talked to Peter about the problem? Do you have or can you make an emulator memory dump around the area of the shop that is not working (i.e. via Hatari or Steem) and send me or can you save the game around where the problem with the shop is (if on physical machine) and send me the save disk image via pm (the CAS file inside the folder)?

Right, I felt the same way so that's the reason I bought one to try out. It even uses a different control board for the display panel so it can't be swapped with one of the 27"ones.

Yep, earlier in the thread I wrote about how I bought one to try and it didn't work unfortunately.

Very nice!

Hmm, not seeing that here. What viewer are you using?

Ah, thanks, not sure what happened. Try this one. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ljbqm76csfblrh3/flash-manual.pdf.zip?dl=1

Thanks for scanning that! Here is the pdf version from the jpg files. Btw, the scans go from Page-16 to Page-18. Was there supposed to be a Page-17? Flash Manual PDF

I ordered some pcbs to build up.

Very nice!
