  1. Thank you for getting the download to work, very nice icons. very classy
  2. Thank you, didnt find that site when I looked, they are nice quality, was all to make them into a folder icon, just what I wanted. Cheers
  3. Has anyone made a nice set/collection of file/folder ICONS with ATARI games & hardware that is Mac friendly?
  4. Thank you that was very helpful. Done what you suggested everything seems to work well
  5. I've been using emulation for years, and it always seems to work, but setting up Atari800MacX on a new Mac got me wondering what's the correct BIOS ROM I should be using. I do have a collection of them. So should I keep it only PAL or NTSC or can they be mixed. Up until now I have taken to the latest so BASIC C and OS B. Should I use OS A or OS B For 1200XL should it be OS 10 or OS 11 Should BASIC be A,B or C The set I use from is shown below. I grown up with PAL machines, so if I have a PAL rom or a NTSC rom thats the confusion, is it OK to run say a PAL game if I have a BIOS NTSC installed? Apologies if this has been covered before.
  6. Thank you. Just getting back into the Atari and I was seeing things about the brick being dangerous, then I was amazed you can run it from a USB plug so im going to use that method. Will check my power bricks as I still have the 1050s to deal with unless they can run on USB
  7. Thank you for some solid information, will take your advice for sure. Looking forward in trying the gear again
  8. After some advice please, I have been an Atari user since the 2600 days, and my first Atari computer was the 600XL (sadly, I don't still have this one). I then upgraded to the 130XE and then the 1040STFM, still have both of them. Funny enough, I didn't like the ST, so I went back to the 130XE. My question is: I have in storage my 130XE and ST along with all the gear, 1010 tape, XC11 tape, 1020 plotter, and 2 x 1050 floppy drives. And some accessories like the Touch-Tablet, Track-Ball, a few joysticks, etc. I'm from the UK, but I moved to Canada about 20 years ago. Up until that point, they had been running OK. Once I moved due to space, they have been in storage in a garage inside original boxes inside more boxes, so they have been subjected to -30 to +30 temperatures for about 20 years. Before I start to try and power this stuff up, are there any precautions I should take? Should I try and check inside them first? I have read about the dodgy power supply, and until I check, I am not sure which power bricks I have. They will of course be 230V gear, and now that I live in the land of 120V, I do have some step-up transformers, so getting the power into them is no issue. No longer having a PAL TV I'm not sure if they will even show up on my NTSC TVs. Back in the day I made SCART cables for them so i will need make some new video cables. So really, after advice on the two things, how will I safely and hopefully successfully power them up, and how will I display the image from both my 130XE and 1040ST? What is likely to break or not function well? My aim is to restore everything to working order and use them again, will they go bang I also want to get a 600XL just because. Thank you
  9. Hello, Im trying to work out how I can make a program for my 130XE that takes say a text string and prints it to the screen one letter at a time but with the sound you get the your typing into basic. Seen the odd game do this when it type the text on the screen with a keyclick sound, to simulate like someone is typing the text. No sure how to go about it and have no idea how to make the key click sound. If I simply use the PRINT command its all instant and no sound of course. Is this something simple can anyone point me to an example BASIC program Hope that makes sense
  10. OK that seems to work I now have the window asking for a disk, now just need to locate the help file to see how to set it up with BIOS etc
  11. Its the bit : 4. Located the executable and created a shortcut on the desktop I have no idea where the install put anything I have looked around in the folders but not found it yet. What is the location? @NISMOPC
  12. Looking for this also a step by step guide. I don't like using it inside retropie or recalbox.
