  1. Probably shouldn't judge the latest Fords by the Model A. I vote for Desert Falcon.

    From the album: Uh, retro stuff

  3. Is there any place to buy an LTO that doesn't require signing up for one of the weird "I hate PayPal" financial services?
  4. 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?
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. Could a SCSI CD-ROM enclosure be used with an HD or an SD2SCSI?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.)
  11. Why not get a Skunkboard so that you can try before you buy?
  12. Perhaps check the composite video signal inside the EM1 before it is passed through the CV?
  13. 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?
  14. $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?
  15. 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?
  16. 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?
  17. 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?
  18. I wonder if a screen replacement is feasible? It could make a world of difference.
  19. 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.
  20. https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/62745544 one of many
