Alternate History: What Atari Could Have Done Differently?
dely replied to pcrow's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
1. low-cost computer able to compete with the VIC20 (e.g. 600XL with 8 KB of memory) at the beginning of 1981 at the latest. 2. 800XL in early 1982 at the latest (to compete with the C64). I don't believe that the then quite big companies like Atari didn't have something like industrial espionage and didn't know what the competition was planning 3. Hiring some top programmers around 1982-1984 to develop AAA titles to stop the exodus of users to other computers. 4. ANTIC+GTIA+POKEY in one chip around 1985/6 and a 16-bit machine based on the 65816 with 256 KB RAM, better graphics to display 80 columns, downward compatible with the 400/800/XL series instead of the XE which was totally unnecessary. -
Tried all available models, different ATR versions of The Top 3, 400 mini always returns to the carousel

Levels are predefined.

Something wrong in your emulator or grabber - every few columns of the screen is displayed wrong. The best way to see this is in the time bar, which has breaks every few units and shouldn't. Damn, I was not going to do anything about it anymore, but I'll try to do NTSC detection and give about the same amount of time to colleagues on the other side of the world

Tatqoo and I have finished work on Dungeon Adventurer, the game that took part in the game compo at Last Party 2024. Changes compared to the "party version" include the removal of quite a few bugs, the addition of new soundtracks (for the "game over" screen and the ending, among others) and the possibility to enter codes, which you get after passing each level. For those who haven't seen the game yet, brief info: - 20 levels to complete - the last level is more difficult, as we can only see the part of the dungeon closest to the hero, - several items to collect, - a screen with the ending story. I recommend reading the manual first so you know how the items work. Requirements: Atari with 48KB RAM. The game is downloadable from my Gitlab, sources in MadPascal there. https://gitlab.com/delysio/dungeon-adventurer/

Awesome work!

This is very interesting, because I exported the file from Audacity again using exactly the same settings (16 bit, 44 kHz, PCM) and this time the length in Altirra is correct. Anyway, I can't replicate it now either - but it really was, I have witnesses Thanks, didn't know that!
-
I would like to report that Altirra misjudges the length of an audio file if the tape image contains an audio track - the length is doubled. BTW. Is there an option to listen to the audio of the pilot tone while loading tape image? I cannot find this in the options. By the way, I won't forget to always add that @phaeron does an excellent job

Indus GT was sold in Poland as LDW Super 2000 and later as CA2001 with different power supplies (2 voltages) and different back plate. http://atariki.krap.pl/index.php/LDW_Super_2000 http://atariki.krap.pl/index.php/CA-2001

How do I get a program from a Windows text file onto an atr?
dely replied to bfollowell's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Easiest way: 1. Type BASIC program in Notepad. 2. CTRL+A, CTRL+C 3. Boot Altirra into BASIC 4. Right click at emulator window 5. Select paste from context menu -

Awesome! -
I was inspired by @tschak909 posts on one of the retrocomputing groups on the engineering use of computers, where he showed how data analysis could be solved using a heatmap. I would like to show how the same problem can be solved using an 8-bit Atari. Here is a video where I show how to export data from VisiCalc and how to load it into my program which will do the analysis. Sources and binary: https://gitlab.com/delysio/heatmap

Need a replacement for very worn label in my SF drive and looking for exact dimensions (x, y, z and angle a). Unfortunately I can't find any reliable information. Anyone? Thanks!

Modern substitute for 800XL Power Supply? (UK)
dely replied to Steve Mynott's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I have been using one for a year with a heavily equipped Atari (U1MB, IDE Plus / SIDE3, VBXE, IOBoard). No problems at all. Highly recommended!
