What 7800 games do you want to see on Atari Flashback Portable?
towmater replied to Defender_2600's topic in Atari 7800
Probably shouldn't judge the latest Fords by the Model A. I vote for Desert Falcon. -
Is there any place to buy an LTO that doesn't require signing up for one of the weird "I hate PayPal" financial services?

The Official PS Vita Thread!
towmater replied to Rick Dangerous's topic in Modern Console Discussion
ux0 in my sd2vita is full, so I placed emulator roms in uma0, but I can't figure out how to change the seemingly hard-coded path to roms in most emulators. Any suggestions? -

There are a few really good quality Atari ads in this video that I hadn't seen before, I dig that Betty Rubble herself is our age. https://youtu.be/wKD0q-M04Z4?t=999

Seasoned Kicksterterer and Tommy Tallarico cohort Scott Barrett and company have Taito's blessing on this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/533894064/space-invaders-the-board-game

Could a SCSI CD-ROM enclosure be used with an HD or an SD2SCSI?

Everything you wanted to know about the Skunkboard
towmater replied to Tursi's topic in Atari Jaguar
Skunkboard gives me a reason to keep an old pico-computer handy, to serve as the sort-of memory card, I use a Viliv S5 PC, but any cheap ATOM thing will work, and you'll be up-and-running Jag software instead of waiting. -
He/she. Oh, who we kidding... is butchering the case, the photo of the hdmi cable exiting the 2600 looks very janky. Hopefully he'll be able to afford a nibbler someday.

Injection mold test shots were often done with whatever plastic was available. It's also possible to pour a silicon mold and do a urethane casting. (Actually, the pouring is easy, cutting the mold parting line is tricky.)

Why not get a Skunkboard so that you can try before you buy?

<RECORD SCRATCH> What adapter?

Perhaps check the composite video signal inside the EM1 before it is passed through the CV?

Can Someone Explain This Note on the Back of Broadside Doc's
towmater replied to DavidMil's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Seems self evident. The software addresses a Mockingbird in slot 4, and if something else is in that slot it does not execute as expected? -
The Official "Thrift finds" Thread
towmater replied to Happy_Dude's topic in Classic Console Discussion
$10 for a 10... Okimate 10. I could not resist after seeing the "Fred Rated" sticker indicating that this was a part of Tramiel's desperate attempt to overcome the issue of retailers not wanting to stock ST's. At the very least I've purchased two SIO ports for hacking-around, but since the printer still has a usable ribbon, is there a program that makes Atari XL screen dumps and prints them? -

I have one, sitting in a cupboard, was awaiting a Gotek mod, though I've soured on the Gotek lately as much better solutions exist. What do you offer in trade?

Top of the line replacement power supply for the Atari 2600, etc
towmater replied to HDTV1080P's topic in Atari 2600
Would it make sense then to bypass the regulator and use a USB-C-ish power connection - other than the effect on "originality" (I'm sure there's a better word for that), it could make the 2600 last longer, and probably could be made to be reversible? -
I'm confused if you are saying the OEM CV PSU isn't sufficient, or the Coleco USB solution won't be enough. Actually, while I have you, if the CV has been 5V modded would the expansion module 3 still need the -5 and 12V rails?

Ringing in the new year with the game.com
towmater replied to DeathAdderSF's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I wonder if a screen replacement is feasible? It could make a world of difference. -
MSX Mega Flash ROM SCC+ trouble
towmater replied to VicViper's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
Been there. It took me a while to figure out that you can put it in cartridge-mode instead of disk-mode, I finally was able to execute Space Manbow once I stumbled on that feature. -
