ATARI (Altirra) mapping for laptop
Jetboot Jack replied to Ricky Spanish's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
On a similar note windows 10//11 users can install the latest Powertoys and access the keyboard manager where you can remap any key to any other key or key combo - so if you lack F keys (like my lounge Logitech keyboard) you can remap them - I mapped F1 etc to Shift-1 etc and ESC to § so it works with Altirra/Atari800 nicely. You can map keys across all apps or for just specific apps - so I have F1 (Shift-1) cross mapped to a different f-key for each emulator so it works as START in BOTH emulators for instance - as I launch through a frontend and never see which emulator is running which game... sTeVE -
Yes I know the colours are changing in realtime depending on the position of the light source, but the proximity of the light source to the letters makes no difference - i.e. letters nearer the light source are not MORE lit than those further away - so it is adjusting colours/register values depending on light source position rather than actually lighting the letters with a source of light - if that makes sense (in both the Amiga and A8 versions) - unless my eyes are faulty...

Basic command for disk directory?
Jetboot Jack replied to griff3125's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Like Preppie mentioned, my favorite way around the problem back in the day was the Compute Wedge, a really excellent little tool - http://archive.org/details/1982-11-compute-magazine/page/n209/mode/2up?view=theater sTeVE -

Atari Games That Gave You Goosebumps!

...in ROF you are flying behind Jaggi lines (its in the manual) - the Jaggi are the enemy and your lost pilots have crashed in their territory... -
I suspect in the intervening 21 years since the original post the OP has resolved their query 🤪

Unicorns season: Prince of Persia for the A8!
Jetboot Jack replied to rensoup's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Remember the goal was the whole game in memory in ONE tape load - so ALL of SOB from the Amiga in around 52K (it was for XL/XE only) 🤪 Anyhoo - it was a fun project, although I thought we did Menace better.... sTeVE -

I love those little CRT's - beautiful picture, had one for my 8bit set-up for many years... sTeVE -
Absolutely @Beeblebrox - Flob, PoP, Final Assault, and Albert are each superb - we have been really spoilt this year. And I have enjoyed all these and more in 2021… I just love arcade shooters 🙂 sTeVE

Nice! I still use NVC as a file sorting tool as it is java and works on any platform (I am a Mac user mainly) - https://github.com/TheMontezuma/NVC But will give this a go when I next drop onto my Windows box! sTeVE
