JAC!

Props for even making an invitation for this. I'm looking forward to the entries!

Which type of preferences/settings do you mean? The settings in the editor you get by pressing CTRL-M/O?

See https://www.wudsn.com/index.php/productions-atari800/tools/thecart/atari-800-fix . Whether it is an issue or not depends heavily on the machine and the cartridge (not only The!Cart) . Often using (reading) cartridges work, but writing doesn't.

Additional Update As requested by several users, I've changed the handling of the cursor keys to require "CONTROL".Hence, you can now enter "+-=*" as characters in the search field.

I see, this this is actually a compile-time expression that resolves into source; not a binary include directive.

The!Cart Studio Update 2023-08-28 Available for Testing While "The!Cart Studio" is written in Java and runs where Java is available, having a native program version simplifies the usage for regular users. When macOS and Windows stopped supporting 32-bit applications some years ago, the existing native wrappers stopped working. I started working on a toolset that enabled me to create all native versions from a single Java source without copying and adapting countless files. I am happy to release the native 64-bit versions of "The!Cart" for Windows, macOS (Intel and ARM), and Linux based on my new toolset today. I've also reworked all English and German text documentation and program texts again for correctness and readability using Grammarly. This includes over 600 adaptations. The new version is available here for you to test.

I'm a bit confused about the name "$bin2csv". I'd expect CSV means "Comma Separated Values", so read a "1,2,3" text file. But this looks like a "bin2bytearray," e.g. INS in MADS. ?!

Hi, looks like the download/attachment is missing?

I assume the connection is considered insecure because it is http and not https. Has nothing to do with its contents.

Loading XEX to RAM vs. booting an ATR is like opening a text file directly in an editor vs. reading it from a binary dump of your Window harddisk. For reading the disk you need the complete OS and the file system logic also. XEX is always the most compatible format. The downside is that it is always limited to a single file.

Please add the remaining 4% they all mentioned above. It really looks nice with interesting game play, but the current control set spoils it. And some beep-boop for game evens would increase immersion a lot. Feel feel to ask via PM if you have questions or need support coding wise since A8 is not you home turf.

The correct font is used, by it is not correctly scaled. This is a bug in the CreateFont() handling of Wine. It works correctly on real Windows. The long-term solution would be using the TTF fonts that are part of https://github.com/wudsn/wudsn-ide/tree/main/com.wudsn.ide.base/fonts. But this will require switching the whole project to Unicode support, which means a major rework. Nevertheless, it would make sense. Filed as https://sourceforge.net/p/dis6502/bugs/33/ for tracking.

The program started in 1997 on Win XP with a fixed pixel layout for 640x320. In fact Windows Forms force you to use pixels until today. With DIS6502 3.6, I've implemented an own layout manager which can handle different screen sizes and font sizes. Note that all you see are self-implemented non-standard controls. You can use "Double Font Height" from the "View" menu already. More scaling options are planned. But since this is a pixel exact fixed size font, only integer multiples make sense/will look OK. Double Font Height:

Update: I've compiled also versions of the AtariSIO tools for Linux and @sanny provided versions for macOS Power PC. Both are now available on Git Hub and linked via the "Atari 8-bit/Tools" section of my website.

That's actually a good ide. I've added it as feature request https://github.com/HiassofT/AtariSIO/issues/5
