Alright. Thanks. I dropped a note at them. ☝️

I am like over 13 years later getting back into using my Atari 8-bits, having last been on here probably 8-10? years ago... It could be an interesting read if anyone is interested. I had registered here as a user in 2008 when I still used WebTV! Oh yes! Anywho, 2 things got me back and hopefully more active soon. 1. The SDrive Max device which I bought one off eBay from a fellow in Greece during 2020 and got $5 off. 2. Finding my game Push It! v.1.0 archived on Atarimania (and finding it on Atariland.ru today). I had uploaded Push It to a Pheonix, Arizona Atari user group BBS in July 1992 and Dale Wooster contacted me about it. They flipped over it and enjoyed my game. Only problem - several screens were unsolvable. I fixed that and corrected a few other bugs and added a couple enhancements. They sent me a copy of their Disk of the Month which added a cool title screen and a bootup menu. I called it v.1.7 and it's this version I want to see replace 1.0. I hope I can tack on the disk image. It works nicely in Altirra. I've written other stuff which hasn't seen the light of day for a while. I spent a year writing a cross stitch pattern printer which was submitted to Atari Classics magazine (remember them?) and was ignored. I'll be copying more stuff to the SDrive Max - should be fun to create a 16 megabyte hard drive image with SpartaDOS X and have everything from my remaining floppies fit in it. Oh I could have used it to run BBS Express back in the day... Perhaps I will reminisce... Push It 1.7 by Andrew Floyd.ATR

I am several years late replying. It was mail ordered direct from Atari Corp themselves! I forget how that happened.

Though I'm rather late to this topic (at least it has replies from this year), when I collected an O2 and a plethora of games but the controllers were stuck and non-functional, I cut them off the cords that came with the unit and neatly attached the DB9 male plugs in place of the controllers. It's handy when the O2 has built-in controller extension cords. I think I also performed a DC blocking circuit mod on RF Modulator so that I could plug the RF cord into automatic switching RF boxes, like that came with my 64-bit Atari Jaguar.

I Want My Momma also has a short digital audio clip.

Has anyone tried making a Supercharger audio file for this game to see if it works on unmodified Superchargers?

Sorta old thread but it brought back to mind I spent several hours playing Stones and Bones and got a huge score, so your claim that the 10 is a "bug" needs proof. I really need to fire my JagCD system up and check that score. I zoned out on it for several hours and replayed that last ball several times.

I'm wondering if anyone else got a copy of the Jaguar promo tape Atari Corp was selling at one point. I have my copy, bought at the same time I got the Tempest 2000 CD and the Aliens v Predators poster and the Jaguar duffel bag I store my system in.

I just want to say this about trying to buy a copy of the HALO 2600 cartridge: I got my name on the list, I got an email saying more copies were available. "Any Questions" And I had a question. Payments were being accepted by PAYPAL. I CAN'T DO PAYPAL. I want to send a money order. I replied with that question. I have not heard a response since. It's bad service to not reply to a question when I had a legitimate one. I'd like to send a money order to buy a copy of HALO 2600 and I need a mailing address to do it. This option should be available as well.

Yeah, I was using VLC Media Player until I found out that Windows Media Player on my Windows Vista computer can play FLV videos from places like YouTube. For quickly downloading videos from YouTube and other web sites, I have completely switched to the Firefox add-on called DownloadHelper. No copying and pasting, no failed attempts to download the video, just click on the dropdown menu, select the FLV file and you're done. Interesting that Microsoft decided FLV was a defacto container for video for including that in Vista. I've had problems with Download Helper on certain less well known websites for video files. I also tried the video download plugin without a lot of success - it kept popping ads while trying to download and not doing anything. If there's a new version, I might try it again. Love Firefox, btw. Great software.

For downloading clips off Youtube, I use these sites, and they don't require plug ins: http://www.keepvid.com/ http://www.clipnabber.com/ Keepvid works with a good number of sites. You paste the URL they show you into the box, tell it which site you're grabbing from, click on Download, and the page finds the link for you. Then you can rick click and rename the file with a new name and FLV extension. Clipnabber is good for Dailymotion. Other sites might require other software. I had to temporarily install something for grabbing a clip off Canadian Broadcasting's page. OTHER STUFF for PCs: SDP Multimedia has a nice utility for grabbing streaming Windows Media content. There are grabbers for streaming Real Media, but I find that content to be of lower quality. eRightsoft makes SUPER© and will convert those FLV Flash Video files to other formats, including but not limited to DVD ready VOBs. And if you don't have VLC, then you're missing out. It can play FLVs without conversion first. DVDs too! Have fun!!
