My first two Atari 8 projects online
www.atarimania.com replied to Harry Potter's topic in Atari 5200 / 8-bit Programming
To be honest, it seems there are just two: - "someting" instead of "something" - "hors dourves" instead of "hors d'oeuvre" (or "hors d'oeuvres") -

You should really weed out all the spelling mistakes in MadLibAtari. -
Bravo Sierra Computer's Ben Smith

Maybe something like 3-4%? Not expensive compared to PayPal but a bit outdated for sure! -

Good luck if you want to order from outside the US... I had to use Western Union the last time I dealt with Ben! -
I always found it fascinating they ventured into commercial software territory and released all those different text adventures each month. Some of the regular type-ins were pretty good as well.

Come on, owning a SECAM system isn't like having the bubonic plague either

It's not the end of the world, my first Atari was a SECAM system and I didn't even know the colors were slightly different until I saw a PAL model years later. I didn't even notice the picture was merely average back in the day but, if it makes you more comfortable, a SECAM Atari 130XE is much worse in that regard. All titles will run flawlessly so it's perfectly usable.

Really great, thank you! Having a searchable online resource of this kind which could be easily updated is precisely what we want to do. -

We're not interested in tapes that have been stripped of the audio track if they originally had one. -
“Computer Orthoptics” 65XE variation

You're right, it works fine on OS-B systems. For some reason, I thought that wasn't the case. -

Thanks to John Hardie, we now have the two missing revisions for Supersort by APX: Supersort (Revision 2.0) Supersort (Revision 3.0) I'm not entirely up-to-date with all editions of OSS programs available but I also added V1.2 of OS/A+: http://www.atarimania.com/utility-atari-400-800-xl-xe-os-a_19212.html -

Would you be able to check whether the two cartridges below work with your system? They crash on a standard computer. Computer Orthoptics - Diagnostic Programs.car Computer Orthoptics - Therapeutic Programs.car -

The main problem with titles that have an audio track is how huge they are when stored as .wav files. That's why there are so few Chilean tapes on the site for instance. I know there have been talks about implementing the .ogg format for cassettes in Altirra. That would definitely make things a bit easier as the programs would be a bit smaller. -

Here's the latest edition of our list of undumped software: List of Missing Software + V1.95.pdf Consider that there are hundreds of programs that didn't make it to this "want list" so I'd say there are at least 5,000 titles that still need to be found! The format hasn't been reworked yet and I know it's not ideal... Hopefully, we'll come up with something way better in the coming months. Speaking of type-ins, quite a number of them from magazines like ROM, Compute!, Inside Info, Teaching and Computers, Micro... are still missing and are on the list for reference. If there are volunteers, you know what to do
