Urchlay Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Which 8-bit computer included the rotating fuji boot up screen? Rotating, like spinning around in a circle? None... though there was at least one demo of such a thing. The 1200XL has a color-cycling fuji logo, if you boot it with no cartridge or disk.

None... though there was at least one demo of such a thing. I remember XANTH Park did a demo for Atari, that had a rotating Fuji, along with it bouncing around (to mimic the Amiga Boing! Ball demo, which they also made a demo about on the Atari 8-bit computers). --Selgus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an old 800 demo like that, but it wasn't like the Xanth park demo. It was just a black screen with a large 5200'ish rainbow fuji logo that rotated on it's center vertical axis. No idea what it was called tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the 1200 screen is a color-cycling word "ATARI" not the fuji. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 There's supposedly 2 versions of the 1200 screen - one has ® in smaller letters at the end. It would probably be possible to create a ROM with rotating logo... probably at the cost of the Self-Test function or the second character set. Kinda useless except for demo purposes, but then again I've always thought the Self-Test ROM space and second character set were a waste of 3K of space that could have gone to much better use anyway.

Artlover Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Ah, I found the one I saw: http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=27281 It's also mentioned in this thread: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=129041 (Click on the pic!) The actual demo is in color on a real Atari computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kr0tki Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 There's supposedly 2 versions of the 1200 screen - one has ® in smaller letters at the end. Yup, it's one of the differences between the Rev.10 and Rev.11 OS's. You can go to Freddy Offenga's website, download both ROMs and check it out yourself.

There are plenty of tools out there that will convert flash, animated gifs and avi files to screen savers. I have not found a good free one though...

FYI, when I ran this in atari800win, I had to turn off the arrow key joystick emulation before the arrow keys would work with the disk menu so I could arrow down to the fujiboink demo.

tremoloman2006 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I do know on the PS1 version of "Pong: The Next Level" it shows a rotating Fuji logo when loading levels. Awesome title too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
