Wait, no paddles?!?!

Yes, I had to move Altirra out of a folder and put it in my main Atari8 folder. Since everything it accesses will be in the same folder or lower, it uses relative paths for the files, and can transport between machines/drive letters. My setup: owncloud Atari8 Support ATARIXL.ROM ATARIBAS.ROM Disks ROMS Altirra64.exe altirra.ini Hopefully that makes sense. :-)

Your 1200XL will also need to have a 28 pin socket installed for the OS, which isn't that hard if you're doing the rest of the upgrade. :-) As for the Side 2 cart, I just took the case off and slide the bare board into the machine. The 1200XL basically consumes the cart, so it doesn't really look that bad and I don't have to modify the case. That being said, the Side 2 did fit for me, but it was really, REALLY tight. I would not recommend it.

It already is a portable app with altirra.ini in the same folder as the executable. I keep it in an Atari8 folder in Owncloud, so I have the same set up no matter what machine I'm on.

Has anyone caught National Geographic's American Geniuses? The Gates vs. Jobs episode was not very well researched, and even had a few cringe worthy moments. Because of all they got wrong I haven't wanted to watch the other episodes, such as Edison vs. Tesla.

If I want to test this on real hardware, can I use an AtariMax Flash cart to recover? Or what kind of USB ROM programmer would I need?

I was hoping the icon could integrate Aretha Franklin somehow...

OSS originally announced Action! for the C64 and the Apple II. At least, I think the Apple can't remember. :-) And was Action! used as a cross assembler for software for the Apple II?

It was a false alarm, adding a dimension to the BYTE ARRAY fixed it, as in: BYTE ARRAY fntlist(20) It runs several times, doesn't corrupt anything. My setup is an 800/Incognito, SDX 4.47, Action! 3.6.

Hmmm, I may have to play this tonight, especially since it looks like no one has beaten it yet. (The final cut scene is pretty good.)

I'm trying to get a directory listing in Action!. The following appears to work once, but after that it starts to destroy the program in memory: proc getfonts() BYTE ARRAY fntlist close(2) open(2,"D:*.FNT",6,0) do inputSD(2,fntlist) printE(fntlist) until EOF(2)#0 od return What am I doing wrong?

I thought BCD was used because the 6502 had a BCD mode. The 6502 Wikipedia page mentions that Atari Basic was about the only place it was used.

I started setting up my Gateway 2000 from '94, and can't find my Ensoniq sound card. :-( I did replace the hard drive with a Transcend IDE module, which quieted the machine immensely.

Better yet, the GLHS model.

It seems that you would need to keep the bottom plate, but the top shield could be removed. I'll dig into an 800, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't a technical issue.

Does the 800 need to keep the shield?

I think the base model would probably be enough for a majority of people, especially if it comes at a low cost. What sort of price difference is there between 64K and 1088K? A device like this that would make the 400 more useful would be very nice for the 8-bit computer hobby. Plus the 400/800 models will probably outlive all of the other models. In fact, they would be the only models standing after an EMP. Any chance of remapping the joystick ports 3 & 4 to some other locations when in XL mode?

That is a plus. :-) Although I do the same with SIO2PC-USB except I use ownCloud (could use Dropbox or Google Drive). The laptop on my Atari syncs my Atari8 folder, so whenever I see something I want to try I just save it to my Atari8 directory and it will automatically be synced. This is also where I keep Altirra, so all of my files, disk images, etc. are always in sync with all of my devices and Ataris.

Slight re-order :-): IDE+ 2.0 Ultimate 1MB/Side 2 SIO2SD Ape/AspeQT (with an SIO2PC-USB adapter) From a price/ease of use standpoint: AspeQT and SIO2PC-USB adapter (<$20, make your own with a FTDI chip for even cheaper) SIO2SD ($25 without case or cable, $65 with case and cable) Ape ($60 for USB, $35 for RS232) U1M/Side 2 ($80) IDE+ 2.0 ($??) I don't understand the usability of the SIO2BT. It's a neat hack, but in the end it's not more useful than the SIO2SD which is cheaper.

I thought of this, but decided against it because that sounds like an Apple product, the i800.

Trying to figure out what to call my Atari 800 with an Incognito...

I'm thinking about trying something like a Rogue® 60W 6 Port USB Desktop Rapid Charger. Intelligent USB Wall Charger (http://amzn.com/B00NOIY44I) for all of the 5V devices. Just need to create some USB cables. Next would be to find a way to power the 9V AC devices...

And mine came Friday! Thanks Candle! Started the install last night, hopefully I'll get a chance to finish this weekend.

Or be sadistic and set the Option key to be pause. :-)

I can at least help you with the <return> issue. The Atari EOL character is different in than ASCII, so if you put the term emulation to vt-52 that should fix that issue. I would recommend Ice-T terminal emulator, but that isn't going to work on the 800.
