    Ah, OK, it's a Harmony based game. Slightly disappointed - thought that level of amazing was too good to be true on just stock 2600. Awesome job still due to the TIA limitations.

     

    To be fair there's probably nothing else that can push the 2600 further

     

    Isn't there a cart with a fast coprocessor to do bus stuffing on the a8 too? Can't remember the name.

     

     

    The unreleased Tomec cart?games

     

    To be honest it's long overdue on the A8 to have a cart with this kind of facility :-)

    Awesome - thanks for the update - love this emulator, use it a lot on my Mac!

     

    One question -are you aware of an issue with the Caverns of Mars (XL Conversion by Classics) rom - there are 8 black dashes across the screen, this is present in the previous version of the emulator too. The same Rom does into show this visual issue under OpenEmu.

    I do like the Atari800 interface - nice and simple and standard across all platforms...

     

    I have Altirra as an app setup under wine with XEX, ATR etc all associated with it, so just double click a file and off it goes - so it’s pretty seamless even for a non native application.

     

    I will give compiling Atari800 a go too - always good to have options!

     

    One good thing about RetroArch now having an Atari800 core is that I can play games on my Sony (Android) TV without any extra hardware cluttering up the sitting room

    I am a bit of a Limbo fan - I have to admit...

     

    Finished it on four different platforms 😁

     

    I think there is a lot of value in seeing and appreciating the great work happening on the A8s contemporaries.

     

    Although I have to say the A8 is not short of good new games, Bosconian is BRILLIANT and the recent Skool Daze port is amazing!

    Did you have your daily garlic pills already?

     

    We say, we want to have it on the A8, You answer "if you don't like what I post, go away" ... ?

     

     

    more like this "Bloody hell you are all a bunch of curmudgeons - lighten up, if this idea is not for you move on...

     

    Otherwise think “how cool” a new game for my old computer :-) "

     

    Now I understand , we all should feel driven to say "how cool a new game for JetBoot Jack's old computer" ... ;)

     

    Just stop it - you are behaving like a d!ck..

     

    What on Earth do you mean “Now I understand , we all should feel driven to say "how cool a new game for JetBoot Jack's old computer" - you have read nothing I wrote..

     

    You do nothing constructive unless you start these type of conversations you just flame the threads until they become filled with rubbish...

    There is no need to turn this Thread into a Commodore vs Atari forum. I have multiple Atari consoles as well as the Vic20 and Commodore 64, all great gaming machines with tons of games. I can appreciate any new game for a classic console or classic computer. For the sake of the search later concur with earlier recommendation of Moderator moving this thread to the Classic Computer section that includes Commodore.

    No - keep it here it’s meant to be here.

     

    It’s NOT about limbo on the C64, it’s about new games on old hardware, and I meant to spark discussion of the potential on the A8 to do such.

     

    The C64 has seen a number of modern games on that platform - Canabalt, Hexagon etc

     

    Worth a discussion in the very least IMHO...

    You confuse yourself.

    If you post such a thread in an Atari Forum, you should expect, people wanted to see that on the depending machine ;)

    That was the whole point

     

    I posted it as inspiration and you started berating me for doing so - moaning it should be posted on a C64 forum and not here - you are the one confusing things.

    As long as this is an Atari Forum, I don't see a reason to "move on" ....

     

    1. C64 is not Atari (so better to post that in referring forums)

    2. The game is a must have for the Atari, as the hires mode is the perfect mode for that game.

     

    It would be, of course, harder to create on the Atari. But there is no need to put transition pixels all over the screen, to get some ambient graphics.

    So I should not post about C64 games, or anything but Atari here and then you say it’s a must have for an Atari - I am confused.

     

    Why must you argue?

     

    Or are you being obtuse?

     

    It was posted as something inspirational, something interesting for a contemporary platform of the Atari...

    RetroArch now has an atari800 core that on Mac has audio under High Sierra...

     

    https://www.libretro.com/index.php/atari800-core-improvements/

     

    It does not work as the standalone emulator - per game configuration and os selection is thru the retroarch interface (and more limited than the old standalone emulator) not the emulator interface (which exists but is not properly functional in some odd ways) but I have had success with all the game ATR files I have thrown at it...

    WellIi have had success with jzintv - screen quality and audio all good - I am running on a new machine, a Razer Blade Laptop and it's workign well, mostly...

     

    But I am back to the problem that some games don't run automagically - Demon Attack, Defender etc...

     

    So one step forward and a half step back :-)

     

    So time to dig into those cfg files I think...
