Awesome - what a talented coder!

I don't see the Nuon port. Slack much?

Don't forget awesome box art, translucent coloured shells, and for the super duper ballz-out editions, a comic book.

Nice stack of 810s, 410, and 830

Holy shit - that is just amazing. Can you imagine seeing these images in 1979? Hardware was certainly capable.

A virtual Atari party (via streaming video service) would be awesome if it weren't for the pesky timezones

I hate how everything went 16:9 on computers. Worst aspect ratio ever for doing anything useful (coding, etc.) Only good for watching movies.

Isn't it great when a long dead thread comes back with new info?

Why you do you care so much happens after you are dead? I'm quite sure it won't affect you one way or another because you'll be f*ing dead.

2nd vote for ANTIC.

And full modem emulation.

Awesome - thanks everyone on the team for the continued work on this!

WUDSN plugin for Eclipse using MADS assembler, Altirra for emulator.

Well, we have one decent saturated red, and a good 100 blues

We'll not get a similar port to Galagon given that it uses a few hundred MHz ARM co-processor and we don't have something like that for the A8. We coould use the 10+ year old VBXE but that seems to be a verboten upgrade to use, let alone even talk about. What we currently have, is https://atariage.com/forums/topic/296152-another-galaga-thread

That is the exact response I have to all of your posts - you do have some self awareness

Don't you DARE remove that metal piece from your 1200XL either. That would be more damaging than say - modifying the vaulted 800's power LED into a switch. Any alteration to the original case is an abomination and should be punished. Gotta keep these trinkets original you know!

Real damn shame - it should have been the equivalent (in expandability) of the Apple II, but overall obviously a much more powerful machine.

I love it. One of the first things I downloaded when I got my XM301 was a "stereo" song that played a Beetles tune (I think the song was Yesterday). It used Pokey and the internal speaker, and I remember it turned off the screen but the background was green. The sound quality on these is so much better - the Beetles tune was mostly just a beeper.

Curious to know what the issue is. My 800 with Incognito was like that and since I didn't have time to diagnose it before attending VCFMW, I installed the super colour card in it which fixed it.

Sorry - most of the last 10 months work has been kicking my ass something fierce. Transmission rebuild on my fun car has been stalled for a solid 2 years I'm starting to get un-burried however, hoping to start clearing out a back log of projects, and Atari stuff usually bubbles to top priority.

It should - I know I've viewd ANSI files with it before and am pretty sure I recall doing some watching some small animations with it.

Don't worry about it! Plenty of games on the 64-bit powerhouse known as Jaguar has 7-10fps framerates In all seriousness, that does look awesome. How did you implement the frame counter BTW?

While I have 2 BIT3 cards, both are broken. One I bought defective, the other I got and it has no attached cables. While I have 2 800s, one with Incognito and one without, the one without is also not in a working state so I have effectively zero to contribute I suppose I should at some point get the other 800 working.

Isn't there a "fast mode" which reads the paddles per scanline (or every 2nd scanline)?
