      XP is a great version of Windows to run in VirtualBox. It's small and fast and has a relatively low memory footprint.

    I'm running v1.01dreveng38 so I guess not. I'll test it later this week.

      You got that right. Normally where I live the average high is 11C and low is about 5c. Yesterday the low was actually 0 with a high of 7c. Been like that for a while now. Where is global warming when you need it?

      In the cyberpunk novels, the AIs have "self-restraint" routines to keep them from getting out of hand. But the hackers in the same stories crack them so that also has to be addressed as well. Alexa's not at the same level as SHODAN of course, but best be prepared anyway.

      I hadn't heard the details of that story, but it seems that it too was overblown. Can't say I'm surprised.

    When I try to use this command "set kernel_options player1colors playercolors pfheights background" and define "pfcolors:" all it does is shoot out this error: 2600 Basic compilation failed! LINE --> pfcolors: --VERBOSE ERROR MESSAGE -- batari Basic v1.01dreveng38 (C)2005-2016 (15): PFcolors kernel option not set So I tried adding pfcolors to the end and all I get is this: default.bas default.bas.bin

      2600 / 7800, all but the 5V and GND lines can be in or out.

      Is there a document somewhere that describes using INPT0-INPT5 as outputs? I've used SWACNT to set SWCHA as output, but I couldn't find a way to set INPT0-5 as output. Thanks!

    4. Trip2018

      Trip2018

      Was wandering the same thing.

  12. Trip2018

    Are the joystick ports on the 2600 read only or can you output data through them?

    I searched for an hour to figure out how to scroll the playfield I the bB DPC+ kernel and found nothing helpful. Any tips/ideas?

      Sorry I should've been more specific. I'mTrying to get horizontal scrolling

    3. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      RevEng added coarse vertical scrolling to the DPC+ kernel back when he had the time to work on batari Basic. There is no horizontal DPC+ scrolling at this time. Someone might come along and start working on batari Basic again and give us all kinds of goodies. Until then, we're lucky that we have vertical scrolling.

    4. Trip2018

      Trip2018

      I guess I'll stick to the standard kernel.

      Tacos, then some play time on the switch. Burritos, then some time with the PS4. Top off the evening with quesadillas and the PC.

      They should sell a mini version with lots of games built in that you just plug in the TV and...oh nevermind.

    Why is the gameboy advanced called the "gameboy advanced". Souldn't it be called the "gameboy color advanced"

      Yeah, yeah. I know I was probably being overly critical, it's just my biggest retro gaming pet peeve when people call the Game Boy a "gameboy". =P

    Do you think SEGA will ever make a good modern sonic game right now.

      Just wasn't known as "edutainment" then. Didn't hear that phrase until the 90's probably. Got a Radio Shack pong unit called TV Scoreboard (came with a light gun even) the Christmas before I "finally" got an Atari 2600.

    when I asked "What's your highest score on asteroids?" I meant the vcs version (I forgot about the other platforms :P).

    1. digdugnate

      digdugnate

      hehe for the 'default' vcs game, it's a rollover :) i got bored i think another 30k in.

    2. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      Game one I think I've rolled the score over three or four times before I just stopped... rarely getting below 7 ships in reserve. Not bragging, it's just as is said above, game 1 is a cakewalk compared to other versions. There was an Asteroids week on the 2600 High Score Club one week...

  23. Trip2018

    What's your highest score on asteroids? Mine is 100,609 (no that is not a misprint)

    My toys r us is 4 buildings down from a bowling alley. Good for that last minute birthday gift (that has never happened to me i'm just giving a random example). Across the street from the book store (fun day for a kid).
  25. Trip2018
    1: My sister would be so upset if the toy r us near us closed, she hasn't seen the american girl section yet and would be crushed if she couldn't see it at all. 2: What about that tv show "The Toybox", whats thier next retailer going to be, Walmart?
