I've always been a big fan of Spelunker. I'd love to see that re-made.

Thanks!

 

I didn't realize that the joysticks were gumming things up. I'm feeling kinda dumb now

[Keystroke question in Atari800Win Plus]

Hi all,

 

I'm at my wits end here. I'm typing in a Compute! program that requires a {left} keystroke.

 

According to Compute!, the keystroke is generated by pressing ESC, CTRL and + at the same time.

 

How do I do that under the emulator? It's helpfile says that CTRL and left-arrow is the same as CTRL and +, but it doesn't do anything. I've tried CTRL and + (the one on the numeric keypad) and it just prints a +.

 

I've tried CTRL and + (the one above the = sign on my IBM kybd) and it just sees the = sign and does a down-arrow. I've tried hitting shift at the same time, and it does nothing.

 

I know it sounds like a noob post, but I'm stumped and would appreciate the help.

 

Thanks!

How much? And whereabouts are you?

 

I'm asking because if you're too far away the shipping costs wouldn't be worth it.

 

Thanks!

Goochman, what are you trying to accomplish? Convert real disks over to .dsk format for emulation use?

 

Good luck on that one. I can do it, but it's only because I have a Macintosh, Windows PC, and an Apple //GS with a Superdrive. It's the only way I know how to do it!

 

There may be an easier way, but this is the only way I've gotten it to work. And yes, I need all three machines to make it happen.

[Q Does anyone still program in basic?]

I think that you'd find that quite a few people still program in BASIC around here. Like me.

 

And don't feel weird for owning a CoCo 2. I have one as well, alongside my Ataris, Commodores, and Apples. I program BASIC on all of them. They are all fun in their own ways.

I really don't know what's wrong with my machine. Doesn't like those clips at all...MPEG2 says "Class not found" on Windows Media Player, DIVX won't touch it. MPEG4 won't open on Windows Media Player, Quicktime and DIVX play the video but no sound.

 

Funny thing is that other videos play fine.

 

WHY DOES THEIR HAVE TO BE 18,000 different freakin' codecs?????!?!?

If not, I think I just thought of my next project!

I just looked at the product catalog I have from 1982, and it's the same as the image above, with the stripes.

 

Hmm...good luck finding a picture older. I've googled and googled
