They showed Tempest 4k AFTER suing Minter for saying his game was too close to tempest 2000 (he fucking owns the rights, he WROTE T2K). Also, the lying bastards showed a game running on a WINDOWS only system, but acted like it was a native Linux (or Atari OS) port. 100% bullshit. The controllers they showed were fake. This is as devious as it gets.

Don't forget this is the company that sued Jeff Minter for making Tempest (even though he owned the rights). Then they disallowed a finished VR version to exist on the PS4. Then they showed fake screenshots using fake controllers, advertising the very game they sued him for making. You can't make this shit up. But yeah - let's ignore all that because hey, it has a cool logo and even an LED to light it up. I'm just a hater because I follow the popular kids' opinions.

I can also confirm I have never managed to find a CF to SD card adapter that worked with my Atari stuff.

You'll find the overall experience here much better without his "I know it all attitude, I am someone important, but don't ask me who I am because, well, it's secret and I am better than you" attitude in every post.

Yeah - I love how some people gloss over the lying, cheating, and stealing that was done during this project. I am so glad I have been put in my place and told I only hated it because that was the popular thing to do.

The Indus GT disk drive uses a Z80 CPU running at 4.0MHz and in order to run CP/M, it must have the 64kB RAM expansion card. The original was DRAM, but there now exists a new SRAM based card. I do not think that will change any of the speeds at all.

Past few weeks have left me convinced that there is a secret contest going on, for the biggest necro-bump. I think this one wins. I have "only" been here for 19.5 years.

Strange - I just tried this again in Altirra, and now listing is making the machine crash.

Yeah - everything I recall seeing BITD that gave a flashing cursor, simply made ALL inverse text flash. I'm not aware of any that only made the cursor blink.

There's also some files in the SDX toolkit in the screen driver's sub-directory (XIO.TXT and S_VBXE.TXT)

Just when I try to be mature, I read expansion port while watching your animated avatar.

That's beautiful!

That is not true for many of us that use these machines. Hard drives were available as far back as 1983. If all you want is a game machine, get a 5200. You don't need a keyboard, SIO port, any kind of expansion, etc.

You will need an NTSC machine, and connect to your display of choice with either composite video, or RF modulator (channel 2/3).

Great - now I feel like dancing on the ceiling.

Wow - people get mad if we talk smack about the VCS. They get mad if we post girly pics. They get mad if we talk about Commodores. I'm starting to think this place might be for a bunch of geeks that I don't know? Post positive things about old Atari computers The Jaguar - well, the fumes make it tough to know what's ever happening there.

I mentioned in here yesterday, that Atari stock is a whopping $0.39 and the crypto-currency hit a MEGA $0.17. So hell yeah, this is the time to invest. It can only go up from here, am I right?

Also keep in mind - the main config.sys file will rarely need to change. Use a floppy in D1, with a SPARTA.DOS subdirectory in it. Once you get the debugging done, you can use a tool to write that config.sys back to your CAR device. The way the tool works is, you modify the ROM and re-burn it. Now - I VERY much recommend an Ultimate 1MB device, especially if SDX will be your main use case. Extra RAM will not help for games, but under SDX it just opens up a world of possibilities.

Add the colour settings also, to your CON.SYS driver. I had this exact same issue, until I made this change.

Judging by the screenshots and the fact that is was an Apple port, the game certainly uses hi-res graphics and artifacting. Only really useful from what I've been told on NTSC systems, and using composite video or RF. S-video has enough video bandwidth to show the actual banding, rather than the false colour info.

LOL - just like the Jaguar sold like hotcakes when the more expensive Playstation, Saturn, and 3D0 were out right?

You can turn this off in the configuration... System->Pause when Inactive No - that will let it continue to run when in the background. When dragging the window to move or re-size it, it will still stop. This is what emkay is asking about.

Nor is it competitive (or useful) in the world of reality.

I must say, software and platforms aside, the geometry on that 1084S is spot on! This is really making me want to tear int my 1084S and get it back to new condition.

You don't want to switch the music to mono. That is how the underwater music changed without delay. Above ground = left channel, under water = right channel.
