  1. I'm not trying to discourage your work, but that website you used for Atari history seems like it was written by A.I., or just simply edited poorly or in a hurry. I could use a number of examples, but in particular, the 600/800xl section writes... "Atari unveiled a promising new lineup of computers at the Summer CES in June 1983: the 600XL. This model was positioned to serve as a successor to the ill-fated 1200XL and carry on the legacy of the popular 400 and 800XL" The 600XL replaced the 800XL?
  2. Maybe Keatah moved to Tahiti and is sipping fancy adult beverages on a beach all day long...
  3. Ouch... I guess this new build doesn't work with Windows XP?
  4. Just wondering... does the 7800 use a stock 6502 or the 6502c "Sally" chip?
  5. BTW, what are those things you're bombing at the final stage? They look like decapitated Battlezone tanks. I never saw this stage back in the day... is it mentioned in the manual?
  6. I tried O'Reily's Mine the other day... the zip file has a .cas file size on side 1 of 157kb (!) ... didn't load in older versions of Altirra, didn't try v4+ So I used a8cas tools v1.3.1 with side 1 wav file and got a .cas file of only 13kb ... which loaded ok with Altirra and SIO patch enabled.
  7. I switched to a newer browser, then the XML access denied error went away. Why the others download fine who knows...
  8. Getting "access denied" ??? downloading: Babel (1981)(APX)(US)[disk] and Lookahead (1981)(APX)(US)[disk]
  9. Those smiling faces on the box artwork are funny/ironic considering how worthless money is 40+ years later. Does anybody really want to know how "economics" works now?
  10. Not using Chrome version One Bazillion? Upgrade... or else, says "content-restricted.invisioncic.com". The web was OK until all of it became monetized 110%
  11. Soulbuster, the reason Ricochet works is because you have the cassette SIO patch selected in acceleration. I can make it work that way even in Altirra 2.50... Without it selected, I get a bunch of weird noises about 30-36 seconds into loading, depending on the version of Altirra, I tried cropping your wav file (lead-in and data only) and then redid the cas file. Without the SIO patch, it will load four blocks before a error-143 at line 0 happens.
  12. Tried the atx image with Altirra 3.91 ... set to Atari 800 OS-B with Basic, with "accurate sector timing" checked. Worked fine. Didn't try the atr image.
