meh its probably some super weak arm running a janky emulator, I do like the retro-bit controllers so that hopefully will be ok

you have any problems with that? USB 2.0 spec is 15 foot for high speed devices course a controller isn't exactly high speed, but I have ran into connectivity issues with nice quality 25 foot cables trying to run data loggers at work (like it will run fine for days but a bird farts while flying overhead … usually on the weekend when no one is looking at the machines and it will just drop)

well there's not a real way to install lakka, you can image it to a hard disk like you would image it to a USB stick once you do that its a extremely bare bones linux distro with retroarch installed, there's no package management and about the only tools you get is retroarch and the nano text editor and some file stuff the retroarch XMB system ... once figured out is not as flashy as emulation station but for the most part functions very similar, mine's setup with different backgrounds for each system and has box art and all that jazz as far as power goes, even my netbook can do PS1 games with an atom cpu and decade old intel graphics, though it does start to drop frames on later / more complex games, but its an atom with intel graphics...

there is retropie for x86, its not a full distro so you have to install a Debian based Linux and a desktop, and I have never gotten it working with joysticks (even though the underlying OS saw them fine) but that may be me so at that point you may be better off with an os with ES on top or something like lakka (which is what I ended up with on my tabletop arcade) though the retroarch stock XMB menu run like ass if you have an older video card that doesn't support open gl something version … which you can turn off but its editing a config file to do so and blah blah blah its not as easy as retropi has made it, course there's a gazillion configs of computers out there so its understandable … its neat though cause even my little 1.6ghz netbook with intel graphics handles heavy games better than my 3B as the IPS of even a basic x86 is much higher

Hand egg, not to be confused with football

mouser has the 6410's still in stock but it is an obsolete part https://www.findchips.com/search/fms6410

Thats becuse the switchboxes have the sheilding equivliant of a burlap sack

there's a blue dot next to the thread title, click that

at first I did as well, I still do a little, but ya know a high score in demon attack is a high score lol

its almost 3 years since announcement and they JUST 3 months ago created 4 departments one of which is a "console department" LO fuckin L I have had products in validation testing for longer than their console department existed ... and yet

no its nothing like that its "lets make a real console out of PC parts with a darn near unlimited cash supply and do quite well at it", which was super interesting in 1999 not so much in 2018 when the playing field is pretty much on par remember when the xbox and 360 launched it was pretty hard to meet system spec's to the at the time PC's for the price ... atari has the exact opposite problem, they want a good chunk of cash for a several year old PC platform that could be had by a laptop for 100 bucks less, or beaten a walmart low end desktop for 100 more and yes we all know you lub your 8051 integrated into a blah blah blah into a chip ... they suck but try to keep up bill

one also has to remember how much of a no shit XBoX was at the peak of pc master race, hey lets take some parts not yet available to the master race (mainly the geforce 3 TI subset) and make a console out of it, oh yea with microsoft petty cash to boot which was what like 10x more than atari's fundraiser

there is no first party product, its like what 4 sales guys in a rent an office

looks like santa mac is taking a poo

welcome (and yea sorry about that I often forget the () after an if, and I didnt have arduino's software on this machine to nag me) you could use a for loop in void setup() and leave loop empty to do the same thing you have to have a void loop() but you don't have to have anything in it

#define STEPPER_PIN_1 10 #define STEPPER_PIN_2 11 #define STEPPER_PIN_3 12 #define STEPPER_PIN_4 13 #define RELAY_PIN_9 9 int step_number = 0; int loop_number = 0; void setup() { pinMode(STEPPER_PIN_1, OUTPUT); pinMode(STEPPER_PIN_2, OUTPUT); pinMode(STEPPER_PIN_3, OUTPUT); pinMode(STEPPER_PIN_4, OUTPUT); pinMode(RELAY_PIN_9, OUTPUT); } void loop() { if loop_number < 12 { for(int a = 0; a < 1400; a++) { OneStep(false); delay(2); if (a == 0) { delay(500); digitalWrite(STEPPER_PIN_1, LOW); digitalWrite(STEPPER_PIN_2, LOW); digitalWrite(STEPPER_PIN_3, LOW); digitalWrite(STEPPER_PIN_4, LOW); digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN_9, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN_9, LOW); delay(500); } } loop_number++; } }

its the same thing written in a different way

hey now, that's like every day of my "adulthood"

I have noticed this before, my old 65XE NTSC the difference was marginal, my current 65XE PAL is night and day difference using the same TV... I sold my NTSC model back in 2015 so I cant put them side by side ...

being optimistic that your ship will come after a few months of "oh he will come back" start to sound sad, or planned so after a couple years are you sad or planned... either way your rooting for a cheap china watch that plays pong and does some other shit like 2 years after that fad shipped cause its got some logo embroidered on the strap... and they failed at that as well

ebayed

yea my bad I have been in a rush sorting though a tub of 90's era PC parts while waiting on a digikey order to drag in so when I posted what you cant see is the mountain of pentium's just off to the side while this thing has been sitting around over a week waiting on a part heh

uh lets be fair and say that the C64 was released in 82, same as the XL series so its real competition is the XL series ... which are weak and flimsy its also a concept that things that are big and heavy are better quality, which can be true, but can be false as well, a 400 is big and heavy, but its shit to type on, its a bit of a old fashioned notion and if curb weight really meant a single thing, the PET series would be still the most baller computer to this day, swear you have to have a pallet jack to get those bastards on your desk

Oh I picked up on it, I just dont know why people think they are something super special, its just either an early rev, or a rebuild The one's to look out for are like the promo unit I had which was a 4 switch base with a light six top (speaker holes) and only if your a pokemon collector and its in mint condition CIB

right now that I am back home I actually HAVE to order some more, I finally ran out of boards (well I have 1 left) but I want to replace the resistor with a pot ... the input levels of a 4 switch, jr and 6 switch are all slightly different so I just place a resistor of appropriate value ... that wont work if I start selling them to the general public for use with multiple systems the original boards I had been using was "we have to make 30 engineering samples and there's plenty of wasted space in the pcb panel you want to throw anything in there" so I put 3 boards in that space and ended up with 90 of them, thought that would last forever, that was in 2015 and I am on my last one so that's a lot of atari's (and a few other systems) in 3 years lol I might also do up a "delux" version which is what I use in my 65XE which uses 2 chips and if you input chroma and luma (which is fairly easy to seperate on a 2600) it can output composite and svideo longhorn style (second chip is the same that he used on the output stage) but first things first
