    After the good reception and feedback for the C64, TRS-80, and ZX Spectrum Next, me and my wife decided to create a dust cover for the Atari 800XL, which is the machine I am using the most these days. Here is the result:

     

    The dust cover is made of Cotton Twill which gives good protection and we believe it looks good on my desk :)

     

    I am selling them on Etsy and eBay for USD 26 + shipping, but if you buy directly from here I can shave the fees those places charge and give you 15% off. If you are interested please PM me with your address and I will let you know the shipping costs. Payments can be done via Paypal.

     

    But of course, if you rather buy from Etsy or eBay to enjoy their customer protection, feel free to:

     

     

    By the way, regardless buying it or not, feedback from the community will be appreciated!

    BTW, they are made to order, so usually it can take from 3 days to 2 weeks to ship it.

     

    Thanks

    Hi

     

    not sure if it was suggested before (or even if it exists already!) , but a nice addition to the CONFIG would be to keep history of the images selected previously. Maybe this could be stored in the SD and accessible through a different screen. The history could have the source (TNFS server, etc), the filename, what slot it was inserted and maybe the date (not so important I think). It could store a limited number of entries just so it doesn't grow out of control. (The slot is interesting but maybe users will want to keep history and ignore it to be able to insert in another slot, but the slot is useful for the idea below).

     

    One extension of that could be the existence of file set files. One could create the list of files (same mechanism of the history) and give it a name. The user could then load the file set instead of each file individually.

     

    Cheers

    BTW, I was with the impression the image downloaded from the server would be a simple local copy (inside #fujinet) disconnected from the original file in the host. When I saw that when mounting it with write permissions actually saves the file over the image on my host... it simply blew my mind! Awesome device, even more clever software! :)

    Thanks! I don't know how I missed that. What fooled me was the AMD64 suffix on the program - I simply didn't pay attention and assumed it was Linux.

     

    Anyways, I've tested and it works flawlessly. A very easy way to download software from the internet and serve the Atari machine locally.

     

    Thanks

    Copied from my post for your convenience :)

     

    Just a couple of weeks after the release of version 5.5.0, Atari800MacX 6.0.0 is out with not many functional changes, but with an important update that will ensure the emulator will stay work on macOS for many years to come. 

    The Atari emulator app bundle now includes both binaries for Intel and Apple ARM CPU. The OS will choose the right one when launching it. 

     

    Here is the changelog:

     

    Features Added/Changed:

     

    • Added support for ARM-based M1 Macs.
    • Update libSDL to version 2.0.14.
    • Removed 2k limit on the number of characters that can be pasted into the emulator

     

    Bugs Fixed:

     

    • Fixed issue with not correctly restoring machine type when loading a configuration file.
    • Fixed issue with not being able to insert a piggyback cartridge to SDX.

    You can download the new version for free from its Github page.

    Hey @skr

     

    That's seems exactly what I need! I will try it tonight and see if I can sync the updates or even maybe schedule a full update once a month, since it is only 78mb...

     

    Thanks

    Hey guys,

     

    I've just setup a TNFS server for #fujinet and I was planning to add the Homesoft collection there as a mirror. I know I can download all of them at once but is there another better way to keep the mirror in sync with your main database?

     

    Thanks

    Hey @zbyti

     

    I was thinking about the MODULE keyword and trying to find a good example of when use it. I can see its use is more for something like this:

      

    PROC FUNC1()
  ....
RETURN

MODULE

CARD THIS_IS_GLOBAL=[10]

FUNC MAIN()
...
RETURN

     

    But can you think in a good example to use it when using includes? Only doing the above seems not enough to justify its use, don't you agree?

     

    Thanks
