  1. here it be: Thrust (v1).xex Thrust (198x)(Firebird)[cr Master Mystic][a][k-file].atr altho i think the youtuber used some artistic licence to change when the tune plays
  2. he says he has fitted a voltage regulator - the weirdo...
  3. it seems there is no standard part number - it varies by manufacturer! we need an index of compatibles..
  4. loving how you used the 800XL to resurrect the Rana - v.appropriate! 🙃
  5. mysterious batch of turbo carts turned up - might be of interest: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305483575509
  6. i found an alternative schematic and C31 is shown on page 2 in the upper-left corner 🙃 Schematics XEGS.pdf
  7. this thread-bump inspired me to make new shells for these 2 in XL colours 🙃
  8. man, you triggered a fond memory 🙃 "geru shay cruo!" "maranax infernux!"
  9. 6 months of Northern UK winter sun later (or lack thereof) and here is the status: a pleasing result for such a non-invasive process. the summer sun is quicker (a matter of days) so i may give it another dose when the time comes. the keyboard is progressing nicely but still has some discolouration so it stays in treatment for now. i will report back when it looks good.
  10. would the infogrames guys take it on? they own atari at the mo
  11. see if any chips get hot - the 2x RAM chips at bottom-left try powering it up without the keyboard (or by holding select), this should make missile command kick in
  12. for 400 SVideo output, i replace the dangly RF lead with a dangly 5-pin DIN socket to make it compatible with the other A8 models here is the legend:
  13. might be worth testing the resistance of the trimpot in case it has failed
  14. youll have to design an arduino nano with speaker and a light sensor to trigger a flush noise!
  15. if youre anything like me, youll find it when youve given up and are looking for something else! 🙃
  16. hmm, displaying random characters could imply ANTIC is worth a check. it could be feeding duff data to the GTIA
  17. Yes, i got mine directly. very reasonably priced and good service
  18. you should be aware the XEGs has a diff'rent MMU - i dont know if it will work in a non XEGS machine
  19. yes you will need an SIO plug (or other rudimentry pinned connection) for the other end of the USB cable and a PL23XX driver in aspeqt set the cable as D1, real drive as D2 and boot a copy2000 or copymate type of program on your A8. then swap D1 in the emulator for your chosen ATR and put a blank floppy in D2 and set it off 🙃
  20. 'undred quid? not bad 🙃
  21. coo... youtube link doesnt say how much dough though!
