    Ugh. You said the C= word. We have beaten the Commies in EVERY way. SIO speed, CPU speed, Sound, Graphics. Please don't compare us to Commies.

    There is NO comparison. WE win, Commies LOSE.

    Game over.

     

    lol what is this 1983!

    SIO2SD works well and emulates floppy drives up to 16MB in size. 

     

    Since you have an XL, a PBI hard disk controller is an option.  IDE controllers also work with CF cards with a simple adapter.  I'm happy with IDEPlus and a dual CF adapter.  

     

    Depends what you're doing I guess.  If you just want to emulate floppies, like the bleep noises and play from and save to disk images stored on an SD card the SIO2SD or SDrive-Max are probably your best bet.

    well like if i play a game that needs to be saved i just need that abiilty. I never had an atari computer back in the day and im not familiar with the way the original drives worked I just know its not the same as commodore

    Hi I have the Ultimate cartridge which is fine in that it lets me play roms on my 800 xls. But the thing that is annoying is I can't store anything on it. I just want to be able to save some basic programs and game files. I don't want to use old drives. What is the best solution?

    I like Demon Attack on the Intellivision way more than the Atari as it has the better background and boss battle.  Great game that compares to Phoenix.

    I have it on the intellivision the 64 version is the same but with tighter graphics.

    if you mean "how do i know if an XL for sale is socketed?"

    you don't. but you can have a reasonable guess.

     

     

    look at label underside, where's your Atari made?

     

    Taiwan: mainly soldered, socketed are likely less than 25%

    Hong Kong: mainly socketed, soldered are likely less than 25%

    Taiwan :(

    Yeah. The XE Game System was very much a last ditch effort to try and restart the computer line by disguising it as a console. It was released after most software houses had abandoned the Atari 8Bit scene, most retailers stopped carrying any of the computers and sales of the line had slowed to a crawl.

     

    Meanwhile, Atari had a pile of software, peripherals and parts sitting in the warehouse ....

    some of this stuff was for sale until just recently and there are new 65 xes from mexico on ebay i wonder why they made so much and never sold them?

    Ah, a programmer! :)

    Positively no good then, resume with Vyper68 in post #14

    and change out U24 and U25 for new 4051 chips as a

    last ditch effort before moving on to keyboard jack

    connection problems or mylar issues. It could be any

    of those, possibly more, but we are getting there and

    trying the most often to fail points to hopefully get

    to the real issue asap.

    i am not a tech so this isnt easy i shall purchase those chips first and then a new keyboard. i tried opening up the computer but it has a giant metal piece covering everything which im taking is the Rf shield. the cable on the keyboard says Rev C
