Hello world in cc65 on the Atari is about 3.5K. I've played around with it, but decided to learn assembly instead. If you are on Windows Jac's WUDSN will get you started. I ended up compiling the mads assembler for macOS and Linux and write all of my code in vim. :-)

Testing in my 800XL with U1M and VBXE. No issues whatsoever. I played Mule from an .atr, and several .car and .xex files. Features that would be nice: Ability to load a .car and mount an atr. So you could do something like play with Altirra Basic or Action! and save your work to the atr. Mount multiple .atrs Stackable carts? I can't get it to work in my Antonia 600XL, but neither does the Ultimate Cart or Side2 work in it, so I'm blaming the machine and not the cart.

Nevermind, eBay has them!

Any source for a small quantity of the 100nF capacitor? BG Micro only has it in a big set. Can I use a 74LS138 in place of the 74ALS138?

I voted for Jobs. Without Woz, I believe Jobs would have still gone on and created something like Apple. A lot has been written about his role at NeXT computing, but a year after founding NeXT he was buying Pixar for $5 million dollars, and invested another $5 million into the company to start. He saw the brilliance and importance of Pixar, and kept investing into the company until he was in control of the entire company. This investment paid off later on when Disney bought Pixar for $7.4 billion dollars, and in the process, made Steve Jobs the largest shareholder in Disney. Once he came back to Apple, he was on fire. The iMac, OS X, iPod, iPhone, all major products that changed how we use technology today. Yes, he wasn't a very nice person. But he just had this uncanny vision. And this isn't meant to diminish Woz's contributions in the least. He is a brilliant engineer, teacher, and all around awesome guy. I wonder what products are in the Apple vault waiting for technology to catch up?

Static ram chip/No OS/Lock, could be some way to play copied cartridges. Load the cartridge into SRAM, lock the SRAM, then boot the machine.

Count me in for 1.

I'm confused with all of the confirmations. Simius asked for corrections, not confirmations.

There is also another route. Combine a new motherboard with the 1090XLR into a micro-atx form factor, kind of like what the C64 reloaded project did 3 years ago with the C64 main board. There are tons of 600XLs out there for donor chips (6502, Pokey, Antic, GTIA, etc.). If you have to modify the 800XL or 130XE to use the 1090XLR, then you've added another hurdle for the users to leap over, and there are quite a few Atari users that don't like modifying their machines (me on the other hand have an addiction to it :-).

I thought this was standard behavior for the 1027, that it had to cool down after being used for awhile.

I'm in for two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you sure they aren't talking about The Bookkeeper?

Add me to your list, even though I'm two hours away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might as well add me, I'm 3 hours away.

I'm using it with 16K.

Success! gozpong.xex

I have both a Rev. D and Rev. E IDE+, both which don't currently work with my Antonia 600XL. I see references to hooking up EXTSEL, how would I do this on my 600XL?

Interesting angle, pushing the STs for telecommunication services. I wonder how Atari would have gone if they pushed that angle, maybe using the MIDI ports for networking between the nodes. Not as fast as Apple's AppleTalk, but a lot cheaper. In '85 a 520ST was a quarter the price of the Mac 512.

It's not a technical issue, it's a copyright issue. The original Frogger used copyrighted music, so all the newer versions of Frogger don't have the original music. That being said, there isn't a reason why they couldn't have just put different music on it. I'm disappointed with this version of Frogger, which was the main reason I wanted a FB7. Back to the Supercharger version I guess.

I had a wireless controller for my Xbox that did the same thing. What I did was coated it with baby powder, took care of the stickiness.

hmm mm, I have it, but can't remember how I did it. maybe with homebrew? ill have to check when I get home Sent from my ASUS Chromebook Flip C100PA using Tapatalk

I'm trying to make the ball move like in Pong, but it flies across the screen. What's the best way to make the ball wait until a certain amount of time has passed before moving? Do I use the built in clock or is there a better way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I'm such a newbie at this, and assembly seems so... I don't know, it feels like when I get something working that there is a better way of doing it. I got a ball player/missile moving yesterday, but now my problem is that it moves way too fast!

The GPL atari800 runs fine with sound in 10.12, it's only Atari800MacX that doesn't.
