    6. Atari Jaguar

      Atari's last game console, the Atari Jaguar represented a huge leap in technology from previous offerings. Featuring a 64-bit architecture, the Jaguar had great potential, but its power was difficult to tap. Even then, many great games were released and the Jaguar has an avid fan base today.

        Oh my.   Old nightmares.
        Blackberry was really annoying to me - I had to set up our Exchange server to work with it and install the service.  When something didn't work on the phone, the error was "Contact your system administrator"  And then the website said the same thing.   HELLO F***FACE I am the administrator!  Where are the instructions???

        @thanatos: I'm struggling to remember the name of BlackBerry's backend platform.  What I'm not struggling with is remembering how we'd have users with shite cellular coverage and they'd automatically assume that this was a me problem when their phones didn't work.
         
        Seriously - I still want to kick every last one of them in the balls for calling me at 3.30 in the morning on a Sunday because they couldn't see the T&A email that Sales sent out, thinking that only the recipient list would know about it.

        @thanatos: that was it!  BES.  God, what a hunk of crap.  Positively hated it.  It barely worked when it did, and when it broke it broke in obtuse ways, as you discovered.  Kinda like the handsets.  "Why does my phone dial 911 regardless of the number I try to call?" was a support request we received that ended up being referred to Blackberry's level 9000 support.  Their final response: "yeah, it shouldn't be doing that.  Huh."
         
        More fun & games ensued after they agreed to replace the phone if we provided it to them for forensic examination.  Just send it back to them (in Canada) at our cost and in 15-20 business days, we'll get a refurb unit as a replacement.  Any customs fees, etc. were our responsibility.
         
        I just issued the user a different phone and told Blackberry that if they wanted it, they could send a prepaid return shipping label along with the brand-new phone that they were going to overnight to us.  A week later, they did just that, but man did they fight it tooth & nail in the interim by just being cheap about it.  Go team Blackberry!

      Detecting Various Types of Drives via SIO

      By Zolaerla · Posted

      Lots of error code $92 which is a framing error, generally from the POKEY timer and the drive timer being out of sync. That is totally not what I would expect to see in any of this, with the full detect version or no-detect version. Because doing the 0'd out PERCOM is failing, the detector treats this as a Tygrys instead of Happy drive, though I may have to limit that further since Tygrys will return an 'E' for complete, not fail out due to framing problems. The final NAK on Write Percom Block is also confusing, considering it hasn't been sent the weird PERCOM block to complain about it yet. I have these files set to abort very quickly (only 5 retries I think at full speed, then 5 again at low speed), and wonder if that might be a factor as well. Have you used HISIO or other high speed loaders with this drive without a problem?   Considering that things are acting weird only after the Happy commands are sent (during OS load in the first, it's how it detects Happy ... and after testing for Happy support in the full detect list), I wonder if perhaps it is expecting data to be passed differently at that point, such as through the Happy-style warp commands, instead of the US Doubler-style speed ups. If it was expecting that, this would explain all the framing issues... though I don't know why it would unless the drive software assumes that if you tried to enable the Happy write buffer, you'd then immediately use Warp communication... or something. I am just pretty confused about that one.   What kind of drive is this? The status is returning a $08 for the first byte and $9B for the second byte, which I could use to try to make a new detection path specific for this drive type since no other drive I've seen does that. With the framing issues, it's likely that what is being sent to it is causing it to run in an unexpected way. I just tried running things through Altirra on PAL since I have no real PAL Ataris, and couldn't cause similar problems with a Happy 1050 or a Tygrys 1050, so I'm not certain what's up with the framing issues.   I haven't written support for DOS files yet, so there is no way currently to save to a file. It could save to some select sectors on the disk, but I doubt that'd be very helpful unless it's easy to make XFD/ATR images on your end. It also might be unreliable, considering the types of errors this is getting with that drive.

      By jimblargh · Posted

      64,155 falling quasars! 30 minute challenge  So I packed my Evercade to go out of town...and then forgot my Inty 1  cartridge 😛 The good news is I figured out how to run inty games on the Argon emulator for android. So I leveled up my emulation game today!    Also this just in: You all are really good at Astrosmash!

      Just finished playing this game, "End Of Area 1"... absolutely loved it... great job.    I was going to ask what the plus signs were.  I found they are used to restore your health.   Took me a while to navigate that forest!
