the GS is a cool little machine, its 16 bit with decent graphics and a ESS audio chip, problem with it was it was artificially delayed in release and by the time it did make it to the surface all the more powerful amiga and atari machines were already out and in use. while its a great machine, and backwards compatible with the 8 bit apple II series, again by the time it came out it was a little lacking in horsepower, thus accelerator cards were a very popular addin, and is almost required for any multimedia or gaming use. So the first thing I would do is pop its cover and see if there is one in there, as the stupid cards are hard to find, and when they do pop up often match the price of an entire stock setup. good catch, I would love to have one, but I am a (non macintosh) apple guy

my google skills are failing me, what is the pin spacing of a 2600 cart I could measure it but if there is an agreed upon number I much rather have that Thanks

ghouls n ghosts is hard for me again, when did that happen I used to crank out that game like it was cheese n crackers now its freakin rack roast

funny video man future bad games? hmm... Extreme Paintbrawl

Whats Japanese for "oops"?

the only people buying these things are collectors or someone feeling the need to fill a nostalgic hole, players just get them from asimov

yea ECW on playstation 1.5 ... wow

I was looking for something totally unrelated and came across this thread... Anywho I wrote the script on the broken link above, here is a working link to the original news post https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/comp.sys.apple2/ghetto/comp.sys.apple2/tEL5ulY-dPY/esNpF_G-xpkJ I intended to do an apple II game for ludumdare, but never finished, but right before start I decided I needed a way to quickly paint and render apple II HGR screens on my PC. What you do is use the gimp with a special 6 color palette in a 280x192 screen and save it as a portable pixel map file encoded with ASCII. The lua script runs though the file picking out the specific colors and makes a metric ton of HPLOTS and HCOLOR statements. Take that output file, copy and paste into Applewin with the CPU speed option cranked to full speed, and it will redraw the graphic in the apple memory in ~10 seconds, bsave to disk and transfer to a real machine and your off and running. Its a totally brute force ghetto way of doing it, but it served its reason. It does not account for odd bit patterns or color fringing so its not directly WYSIWYG but its predictable if you have messed with HGR enough. EDIT: I also did the Apple II weather display which does a very similar thing using imagemagick and a lua script on the fly (though painfully slow to send over the serial port at the time, need to rewrite it with a serial port driver, going from 300 baud to 115,200)

some SE's read 1.44mb disks specifically the SEHD or the much upgraded SE/30 a normal SE wont (I have one) and to upgrade it requires the apple superdrive and a rom upgrade, so keep in mind its not easy If your plus has a hard disk you can use a terminal program and a null modem cable to get stuff in and out of it, that is what I mostly do, but its slow

woosh

so they wouldn't get a C&D from nintendo

its settled then, what we need is a gritty realistic FPS warfest featuring jailbait transgenders!

you always want more current from your supply than the system will consume if you have more supply than consumed then then you have a surplus and everything is fine if you have less supply than consumed then you have fire from your wall wart

I always heard SErvice GAmes .. but its usually followed up by "of America" and SEGA is obiously Japaneese oriented ... if someone wants to clear that up if not maybe SEGA was making its stuff and started importing to the USA during the post war recovery along with many other companies?

yea I think that is a bit of a reach, I have nothing personal for or against him, I blame him for nothing as that little sh storm was coming down the pike as in any industry. I just dont listen to what he says cause it seems like every story I read mentioning his opinion is a goblin fart about something he really has no more insight on than anyone else ... it just gets blown up cause "this dude did something important a long time ago" Woz gets that as well, but he is typically less goblin fart, and more jolly

bumpage

IMO its 10x harder to remove chips than to put them back in (unless you just dont give a hoot about the pcb) . and if your motherboard doesnt have sockets, now is a good time to install them, better to melt a socket than burn a chip

you wont ever see me creaming my peaches over Nolan, it seems very rare that his commentary on a biz he has been disassociated with for many decades carries any merit or worth.

or rotten capacitors, be careful around those things in the power supply section, they bite

its a capacitor ... some type of film style (my jr has quite a few) Instead of trying to read 30 year old capacitors, familiarize yourself with the schematics found on this site. then run off to jameco, mouser, digikey (listed those off in order of unexperianced friendlyness, not neccarially price selection or least amount of horsecrap, looking at you jameco) or any supplier that sells "small" quantities to the public

I just started watching this site, and man they are ridiculous with shipping, for example... Vintage Texas Instruments home computer TI-99/4A. Model: PHC 004A. circa 1981. just the base unit, power brick and box, starting bid is 9.99$ ok I shall look, shipping weight 35lbs! no software no accessories just the base computer, before I even think about bidding its 43$ worth of shipping + whatever the price goes up to. just ignoring the description of Unknown. Software is not included. 2048MB RAM memory iMac Core 2Duo 2.8GHz CPU. Sorry, WiFi is not included. just placing a bid makes this a > 50$ computer, crap for another 15 bucks I can buy one just like it on the bay and have it in my hands the same time this bidding war ends (from what I have seen this will go for 40 ish bucks + 43 bucks shipping) Its honestly not worth even looking at this site as every object on it has a seriously stupid shipping weight. Thoughts?

on and in your tablet none, he just pops out of whatever cave he lives in, says something grouchy to get people ruffled up and vanishes in a poof of smoke

after spending a few days fiddling with this, its not the way to go unless you have no other means
