Monochrome emulator - still interesting, of use ?

[Monochrome emulator - still interesting, of use ?]

I hooked my 1040 up to my SM124 last week and I forgot how gorgeous the display was.  So crisp

Jurgen,

 

Looks like USPS is releasing your deliveries  - Any update on "Mr. Scam"?  Did they get their package?

[TOS ROM expansion possibilities]

I think some suggestions from the other thread could be valid here - take some of the more popular desktop ACC's and built them into the OS:

Text editor

Simple Terminal

Calculator(Scientific?)

Network control panel(STing or such) - or build in the TCP/IP stack

 

Adding games would be nice, but most gamers taste would vary.  Just my $0.02

Ok back on top Jurgen great guy with reliable service

Ordered 12/14 and just got my payment email a few days back.

Im a keyboard guy and got used to the current layout, but I agree with most others something needs to be done about picking stuff up.  I think hot keys to the various screens offered through the TAB key would be good, but keep the TAB screen.  I can hit 'M' to get to the MAP screen, but from there should be able to navigate to the other tab's.

 

If given a choice I think I would stick to the keyboard vs using a joystick.  With the various keyboard actions needed Id rather not go back and forth - just my $0.02

Almost - Sears never offered a "Ma" through their catalog

I can confirm USPS has been a sh*t show since the end of November.  Im pretty confident they got so overwhelmed that packages shipped between late Nov and Dec 10th got dump at the most convenient "hub" to be processed when they could get to it.  I had 1 package shipped Dec 6 which finally got delivered mid-Jan, however 3 packages I shipped after 12/18 got delivered within 10 days and had constant tracking updates.  If what you sent hit USPS between Nov 27 - Dec 10th Im 99% sure its stuck in a pile they are slowly working through secondary to new mail coming in.  It seems to be a LIFO queue they are using.

 

I just shipped a package yesterday with "2-3 Day Priority" mail - its scheduled to arrive in 6 days - they still have problems.

 

Good luck with your issue!

Shipping is $24 and I live in Maryland  - Economy shipping Im not sure where that price is coming from.

Quick run through - very nice looking.  Not sure what Im doing wrong but I cant seem to pickup the bags.  I press the space bar and nothing happens.  I also wasnt able to really fight a spider.  Pressing enter didnt seem to do anything.

[Time to pass on my Atari collection]

Sorry to hear that - hopefully you can keep 1 for fun.  Good luck with your sale.

This is a game that needs a refresh - it def doesnt have much polish to it..........

[Interesting Activision contests from 1982]

Now here's an Activision contest that still puzzles me:



I have no idea if this one was ever rewarded or if one of these Treasure Hunt carts were ever found or still exist (most probably not).

Basically a Willy Wonka type contest.  Im surprised more companies havent done something like this.  Think Disney providing 10 dream vacation "golden tickets" in some product.

[Diamond 3.0]

The only advantage to the original cart was its "pass through" in case you wanted to plug in another cart.  Original Diamond carts dont come up very often nor does anyone make a repro of it.

 

What Philsan said, the easier routeis to go to Atarimax.com and order one of their 8MB carts where you can load the Diamond ROM onto and wala you will have a Diamond GOS cart for about $60.

[CD Game Benefits w/GD]

So it appears GD emulation of the CD is on the horizon - Im curious if there is any benefit for devs to create more "CD" images vs Cart games moving forward?  As I understand it "CD" games eat away at the limited Jag memory but provide more storage for FMV type assets vs a cart so is the memory penalty worth it?

 

Just curious if with the GD emulation that devs might favor more "CD" based games or not?

What is it?

 

Its a IDE HD interface for the 8bit computers via the Cart port.

[Jag CD binding]

Ive seen others mention this and am trying to figure out if my Jag CD has this problem.  If you press down on the lid where its says "Close here", the lid closes easily.  This is about the 5 o'clock position on the top.  If you try to close the lid any other place it wont really close.  Is this the binding problem or normal?

 

If it is the binding problem how is it fixed?

Guess this has no value - will send to the bit bucket in the dump by next week
