+FujiSkunk Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'll be there again, with my collection of 8-bit computers in tow. I was really hoping to have a disk drive at least for the C-64 if not for the Atari 800XL also, but my plan to spend October weekends creating disks didn't exactly come to fruition. We'll see what I might can do in the next couple of weekends. At any rate, I'll see y'all there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I wish I could go. I got a new job with Walmart and will be in the WM Academy for 5 weeks which overlaps the HAAG show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Sounds like a plan. So do I look for "Rowsdower70" among the booth names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Thanks to all that showed up, was great to see you again! Here's the link to this year's presentation. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Thanks to @Albert's questions during the presentation I have a new analysis: The different shades of purple used for the 3 playfield registers makes it very easy to see that Tod Frye changed the playfield between reflect and repeat as the screen was drawn. Reflect mode lets you change the 3 playfield registers only when the maze walls change vertically, saving lots of kernel time and ROM. Repeat mode gives you way more flexible kernel timing when drawing asymmetrical playfields, which is needed when drawing the dots. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 What a great time! Great to see everyone again. Great presentation as always, Darrel and thanks for the rca/coax converter! Thanks FujiSkunk for coming through with the DS lite adapter. We had another record breaking convention thanks to a great event and great customers! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Also, if you guys haven't seen Joe G's "Joe Returns a Video" you are really missing out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, that was awesome! This is the Fables series and spin-offs that the last film was about. I highly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Echo @Rowsdower70. Was great to see some familiar faces and meet new ones in person like @FujiSkunk. Hope to see you all again next year! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 What @sramirez2008 said. Had a great, if somewhat frustrating time (mostly my fault and mostly no big deal; I'll write about it later when I'm ready to vent), and overall it was another fun expo that has me already thinking about the next one. Thanks for coming down and surprising us, @Albert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
