I figured out why using the TASM .TEXT command was producing junk at times. It was because the 'pretty font' I used with Adventure II XE, font1.s, had the characters switched around and some were actually replaced with custom chars. Standard ASCII and ATASCII has lower case letters from $61 to $7A, and upper case letters from $41 to $5A. But this font1.s had upper case in the range $21-$3A. I had a temporary programming fix which got the upper case letters to work, but I kept noticing other problems. This character set uses descenders, requiring the use of Antic Mode 3. I then edited the charset with Notepad, and carefully swapped upper case letters and the numbers rows back to where they should be to match ATASCII (and what the TASM .TEXT command was programmed to assume). So that's done. Back in 2011 or so, when I started to use that new charset for Adventure II XE, I must have figured out where the character ranges were and adapted. Until now I wasn't aware font1.s didn't match the 'customary' ATASCII character locations. (I didn't use the .TEXT command with Adventure II, instead I used the .BYTE command for lists for the words / rankings). The other thing I've been doing is working on the city street screens. AA user @LS_Dracon produced this Antic4 charset and 1st city screen for me back in 2010, based on some mockups I had made. So I'll use his designs from ... 12 years ago. LOL. I've started to make changes to some things and I added a few DLI color changes. Not sure if that cobbled street is too "busy" . Here is a sample of the work-in-progress city street , and I just copy/pasted the verbiage from another screenshot for now, to visualize how it would look. The Holmes text will be at top screen and is in Antic 3. The building and street graphics are Antic 4.

RE: this thread - https://forums.atariage.com/blogs/entry/16804-cleaning-out-the-homebrew-folders/ I dug out my 20+ year old gridlines notebook to draw some stuff and realized I had never pitched these designs for 2002's Koffi: Yellow Kopter. Posting them in a blog.

Hi guys, I just bought two of the Sophia 2 devices that I want to install on my Atari 800XL and Atari 5200. I have a RetroTINK 5X but I need some help on finding a good way to connect my Sophia 2 via DVI to my RetroTINK 5X that would then go to my TV or HDMI monitor. The reason I bought a Sophia 2 device is because I want the best picture to come out of these Atari systems. So can someone please help me out?

I made a batch of Masterplay Interface clones based on the schematic at Dr. Scott M. Baker's awesome website. My own schematic and BOM are posted below. I'm not making any more of these 😂 Basic info: - These let you use Genesis controllers to play most of the Atari 5200 library - The acrylic top of the clone can be removed with 1.5mm hex bit to access jumpers (rotate jumpers 90° to change button mapping) - Calibrate x and y axes with a small screw driver if necessary Games that can't be played with the Masterplay Interface clone: - Missile Command - Super Breakout - Kaboom! - Centipede - QIX works only after cycling the d-pad $60 + shipping for the Masterplay clone, custom keypad, and extension cable Thanks for looking!

2022 was a busy year for me. I didn't have free time or mental energy to do much homebrewing on Atari XE or 5200, which I had wanted to. On the personal real-life front, 2022 took everything I had. Full-time job. Family obligations, of course. After a year of searching and looking at houses, I successfully found and bought what we wanted (many other properties I was outbid on, or the property sold before I had a chance to make an offer. The real estate market was crazy in 2021-2022 ). I had to coordinate and hire contractors for various home improvement projects before moving into the house in April. All the projects were more expensive and took more time than expected, all had snafu's. Remember the worldwide shipping problems last winter? But also, can't people do their jobs accurately? Can't companies ship what I ordered and not some other thing that I will have to ship back and wait more weeks? I also did some light repairs and sold the old house, which sold in 1 day. We had lived there for over 25 years but due to ever-increasing traffic and noise and more houses being built where trees used to be - we got out of that location. Then the wife and I spent the last half of the year organizing, going through boxes, and pitching/selling lots of our stuff from the old house. I had surgeries on both hands, one in May and one in November. My left hand was most recent and I'm still not fully recovered from that. The right hand was worse though, it took months before I didn't notice aches in it. You'd be surprised at how much typing and using a mouse , or using a pen, uses your hand. When your hand still aches, you realize even typing can hurt. But, I needed these surgeries and it appears I no longer have to suffer from serious numbness from carpal tunnel syndrome. Which is good! HOMEBREW 2022! Reviewing my notes, I had time in February and then a bit in the 4th quarter, that's all. Oh, I did have free time in the evenings, but those are not peak brain cell usage hours for me. Only in the past month have I returned to organizing, brushing up on ASM / Antic / Pokey skills, and started to tinker again. I took a few scans and pictures of older notebooks just so I can return here in the future and remember. I have about a dozen different folders for ideas. One idea I've held onto is an attempt at how I'd do a 2600 Knight Rider game. It may be too much hard work. Ok, now it is picture time! Pic-ture tiiiime! Atari 5200/XE project folders and a sample of Adventure II XE testing notes from around 2020. My most active project is for Detective Powers. Next in line, I made a 2-player simultaneous 5200 version of Koffi: Yellow Kopter, but it isn't playable yet. Then in time I really need to sit down and make common 64K 5200 and A8 engines so I can develop for both at the same time. Concerning DP, @Thelen made a wonderful new Antic4 tool called Mode4 in Feb 2022, which is pretty nice to use on a windows laptop. Here is a preview of what I got going so far for country manors which Holmes must visit. I am not a skilled artist, but using the tool I'm trying to see what I can accomplish. It is a lot of trial and error. Looking at project notebooks, I am reminded that my goal in hand writing notes is speed, not neatness. I used my i-phone's Notes app and its Document Scan feature for these pictures. Not sure these are any better than just taking a picture of the page though. I was always recording Memory Checks. It is easy to fill up. 2022 was the '20th anniversary' for the Atari 5200, but I wasn't able to complete anything this year. Bring on 2023. c(_)

5200 The Ivory Tower 5200 got some TLC
-^CrossBow^- posted a blog entry in Stories from the -: ITC :-
I originally did most of the work on this 5200 about 8 years ago. It was also one of the first projects I did and to be honest, the wiring work inside wasn't that great. For some time I had wanted to redo it all similar to how I redid my 7800 about a year ago but just never got around to it. Well, now that I have a new BackBit Pro flash cartridge and it was designed to allow resets back to the game menu, I felt it was time to perform a small modification to allow this function of my BackBit Pro to work and also decided it was time to redo the wiring work and give my 5200 a much needed bath. So first I will share some old pics of when I first AV upgraded the console. The wiring wasn't that bad I guess but it was before I was using better quality wire and wasn't using connectors so it was all tethered down. Also, not long after this was first done, the s-video jack kept coming loose on me so I had to hot glue it into place. No pics of that hot snot but suffice to say it was pretty ugly. Here is another shot showing how all the wiring was done originally in this setup. All of the wiring was completely redone with better quality wire and using install methods that I've been using on client consoles for the past 5 years. Some of the wiring was to redo the power and ground wiring as I now have it attached to the main power and ground rails that run along the middle of the board. As a result they are much shorter than they were previously. All the of the video output wiring was redone with a connector added in the middle to allow for easier removal of the main board in the future for servicing if needed. A connector was also added to the power modification wiring on the bottom side as well. A new s-video jack was installed as the original was in pretty bad shape from coming loose over the years and the hot glue just had to go. I used my dremel to rough up the area around the s-video jack and shave off a little bit of shell material so that I could install a new s-video jack and have the back nut actually secure it into place properly. Last to ensure it stays put, some epoxy was added around the s-video jack and securing nut. Audio wiring was redone as well and cleaned up. Finally a small bit of wire was added on the bottom side of the PCB that attaches the reset line for the system to an unused pin on the cartridge port. The BackBit Pro flash cart is designed to take advantage of this and with this wire in place, I can now use the reset button on the cartridge to take me back to the game selection menu. This is a feature that is sorely missing on the AtariMax carts as they require hard powering the 5200 console to get back to your game menu selection. At the end, I finally gave the case shells a much needed bath as it had been at least a decade since this 5200 had been cleaned. It was getting pretty dusty in those vent slots and just looking a bit dull. Now this 5200 is working better than before and ready to provide some more 5200 gaming for many more years!

We have new shipping options, Using couriers to ship to Miami (Air and Sea) and from Miami using Usps or similar. for the Sea option saves a lot of money to send larger packages (they Charge by the cubic feet) So decided to list some Hardware on Shipping Boxes. Thia form of Shipping avoids the dreadfull customs officers who opens every game, they can do that in a whole shipping container. But they take a while to arrive, (even the air option). I can also sell individually or several different items. Boxes will be protected with cardboard outside (no shipping stickers on your original box) Shipping costs not included, need the address to quote. Vcs Cartridge Adaptor, Sealed box of 4 160$ (50$ Each) without shipping. ColecoVision Expansion Module #1 Sealed box of 4, 220$, 65$ each without shipping. Atari Trak-Ball Controller (made in Mexico) Shipping boxes are not sealed (tape glue dissolved) and the shipping box do not provide enough protection, so is best to sell them by unit. 70$ each without shipping. Compumate Box of 6 (Consecutive serial numbers) 600$, 120$ each without shipping. cp/m card for apple II New & Sealed, 180$ without shipping. New Additions: Atari 410 Tape Drive, Sealed box of 2 (Probably need a rubber belt replacement) 120$ without shipping. Sealed Box of Two Atari 5200 Consoles, probably the shorter box model 3500$ Shipped OBO. Not Common at all from Venezuela. Sealed Box of 2 800XL 400$ Plus Shiping. Box of 2 New The Proggrammer Set for Atari XL 80$ Plus Shipping.

I Am a Child from the Dawn of the Video Game Age
GrizzLee posted a topic in Show Us Your Collection!
My Retro/Vintage Gaming Hobby I Am a Child from the Dawn of the Video Game Age Taking a side trip here away from my adventures here. Anyone who knows me personally, can attest that I am somewhat of a geek and so it’s no surprise that I became an mechanical/aerospace engineer by trade. With that stated, I always had an interest in building things and tinkering with electronics, etc.. As I was growing up in the 70's I was fortunate to experience and be able to participate in the dawn of a new era. It all started simple enough with my father coming back from a business trip in Texas one year with one of the first ever digital calculators. I was hooked. I loved the display, the tactile feel of the buttons and the ease of use. I was further inspired when I saw advanced calculators becoming available and even into my high school and college years where I always had to have the latest programmable calculators for my science, math and eventually engineering courses. Now this seems pretty minor in this day and age, but back then, looong before cell phones, home computers, high level object oriented programming languages, etc.. this was an exciting era for me. Read more here... http://rubikonadventures.blogspot.com... A long time friend of mine came by for a visit one day and asked if it was OK to shoot video of my old video game collection and my "man cave" where I hibernate during the winter months when I am not out exploring. Enjoy another facet of my persona here: https://youtu.be/818OZog0Y4I Me Meeting Nolan Bushnell, Founder of Atari and founder of the industry. -

I see that Indie-studios release collections for the Evercade. I see the upcoming Intellivision-Evercade collection include ‘Princess Quest’ - homebrew from 2014, as well as original titles. Could something similar be envisioned for a 5200-collection for the Evercade? And which games would you like to see of a) official releases, b) homebrews/unofficial releases?
