    Has the production schedule slipped? According to http://www.legacyengineer.com/store.html the joysticks won't arrive until January. I saw my credit card was charged in November.

    Take a look at this post:

    Thanks for posting, RT! I am not disappointed that it will be coming in January (I can wait) but I am disappointed that more people didn't order them (yet). I know for a fact that if these things were on the shelves at walmart, target, best buy, and major discount computer chains like the FB2 was, that they would definitely sell many more, but maybe that would be high cost up front.

    I tried just adding &req=syndicate to the end of a URL, but that didn't work...

     

    Is there a way to get an RSS feed to an AA forum? (I'd love to watch the latest via feed reader of batari Basic, classic gaming, generic chat, current events, computers and technology, etc.)

     

    And on the same lines as the other post, maybe those could be registered in Google's blog search:

    Something related that could really help drive people to AtariAge from Google:

     

    Google has a blog search and feeds can be registered here:

    http://blogsearch.google.com/ping?hl=en

     

    If all new AA blogs could be added to that, then it would be yet another way for people's blogs to be noticed.

     

    All blog feeds on AA appear to be in the format:

    http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?a...p;req=syndicate

    (where blogid is the variable. blogid=168 is atari2600land's blog for example)

     

    I know that isn't exactly the topic of the thread, but thought I'd mention this, because I'd really like to see AA blog hits when I use Google's blog search feeds to get news and info on classic games.

    Also, see spiceware's advice in here about how to get JStella 0.95 to work. I was trying to get my page updated with JStella last night and it didn't work. I'm might try again with that advice to use "jstella.applet.JStellaApplet.class" as the class.

     

    So instead of the old

    <applet archive="jstella_0_7.jar" code="jstella.runner.JStellaApplet.class" height="490" width="580">

    <PARAM NAME=ROM VALUE="your_game.bin">

    Your browser doesn't seem to support applets.

    </applet>

     

    You use

    <applet archive="jstella_0_95.jar" code="jstella.applet.JStellaApplet.class" height="490" width="580">

    <PARAM NAME=ROM VALUE="your_game.bin">

    Your browser doesn't seem to support applets.

    </applet>

    Is there a way to use your mouse with this setup? I'd like to try it with Missile Command... What exactly does it mean by "right click for mouse games"? I can't get any sort of reaction from doing that? Thanks!

     

    Click in the applet window to click focus and then:

    Right mouse button - switches to paddle mode. The cursor becomes invisible, and mouse movement simulates the left paddle (A).

    Left mouse button - trigger for left paddle A

    Mouse wheel - left paddle A

     

    You can't use the mouse as a joystick afaik, only a paddle. And I had trouble last night figuring out how to "unmouse" so I switched computers... ;)

    I only wish these were playable through my Wii web browser. I've dreamed for a while now of playing Atari games on my Wii and since they'll likely never come to Virtual Console, this would be an awesome compromise.

     

    You could hack a Wii to play Java stuff, but last I read you couldn't use Java. However, I hope that they change that eventually.

    Are there other good sites like this with classic games ready-to-play? Any recommendations?

     

    Here's my stuff, but some of it is just awful: http://www.geocities.com/fortapocalypse/games.html

     

    My favorite in JStella is spiceware's Medieval Mayhem: http://www.spiceware.org/atari_medieval_ma...lay_online.html

     

    There is also Thrust but the JStella running it doesn't work for me- maybe that one needs an update too: http://jstella.mauvila.com/

     

    By choosing the combobox at the bottom of http://www.ataritimes.com/jstella/index.php and pressing play, there are a lot of games.

     

    Sound emulation, etc. is better with later version of JStella.

    So -- this would work with the usb legacy stick and/or the stelladaptor? I assume, yes. I love this site. It's great for those of us that don't want to set-up the emulators and store all the roms. This is ready to go - nice website!

     

    That is a really good question. I am guessing if there were a way to map the joystick to key input somehow (and maybe there is an app for that somewhere) it might be possible.

    Nice - thanks for the heads up! One question - is it possible to change the a-b difficulties? Can't kill a dragon if he keeps running away from my sword!

     

    We need to ask ataritimes if they will update the version of JStella running on that page.

     

    In later versions of JStella you can change difficulties. Per the controls page:

     

    F1 - reset

    F2 - select

    F3 - black-and-white mode

    F4 - color mode

    F5 - left player - amateur mode (difficulty B)

    F6 - left player - professional mode (difficulty A)

    F7 - right player - amateur mode (difficulty B)

    F8 - right player - professional mode (difficulty A)

     

    Arrow keys - left joystick directions

    Space bar - left trigger

     

    Mouse wheel - left paddle A

     

    Right mouse button - switches to paddle mode. The cursor becomes invisible, and mouse movement simulates the left paddle (A).

    Left mouse button - trigger for left paddle A

     

    More control options/implementations can be viewed in JStella's configuration dialog.

     

    However, I'm not sure if that is working on the current page.

    ...Until then I remain very doubtful, and this video has just strenghtened my doubt.

     

    Not for me. I'm a big fan of classic gaming and had never really played any Jaguar stuff (and still haven't) but when I saw this video I thought it would be cool to play one. I also thought- wouldn't it be cool if there were a similar compilation video for every classic console out there? I know there are probably some, but it might be neat to have a page somewhere that had a long list of links of videos like this for every system.

     

    I really can't think of any classic gaming system that annoys me or that I wouldn't want to play.
