[Does anybody else rock a CRT?]

Got this TV today that has a screen measuring around 14". It has RF, composite, component, and even S-video.

your avatar needs moar gameband and taco's

Fixed it.

[New Atari Console that Ataribox?]

I'd like to know what's inside the pinata before I buy.

Taco sauce packets maybe?

[Paid $0 for this little setup. The world is good.]

Looks good. Been wanting to do a set up like this for a while now, but with a smaller CRT TV.

[New Atari Console that Ataribox?]

Someone pass me a taco.

Atari has renamed its upcoming Ataribox console as the Atari VCS, which will be a retro-inspired entertainment platform based on PC technology.

New Atari Console that Atari VCS?

[Classic COMPUTER Games you'd love to see ported to the 7800]

Turrican. Would love to hear POKEY renditions of the game's soundtrack.

[New BBS: Space Cactus Canyon!]

Will try this out later, never been on a BBS before.

Clearly Atari is grasping at straws at this point. One could even say they're grasping at crypto-straws.

[Hi-Score Today]

Got 2,640 on Space Invaders for the Atari 2600.

[Which of your consoles/computers have you owned since childhood?]

SNES: This was first console I ever had. My earliest memory of it was me playing Super Mario World on a 9" Sanyo tube TV, and that was back when the Sega Dreamcast was still being supported.

 

GBA SP: I know this one is a handheld, but I had a lot of fond memories of it. Whether it'd be playing multiplayer Mario Kart Super Circuit in the car, or just getting a new game for it.

 

NES: This one was a hand-me-down console. I had the side-loader model, along with a bunch of different games, two controllers, and a grey Zapper.

 

Gamecube: My brother and I got a Gamecube for Christmas, along with a two controllers, one black and the other silver, a copy of Mario Party 7, and a copy of Mario Kart Double Dash. I'd say this was the biggest system of my childhood.

[Converting .cas to .wav]

Now here's something strange, up until now, I was attempting to load games off my laptop, and that gives me the IO error, but when I load a game off my phone, it works fine.

[Converting .cas to .wav]

EDIT: didn't read carefully enough--I see now you're using the emulator. I think oftentimes emulators like these have "virtual tape drives" where you have to go into a menu and and "press play."

I don't think there's a play button on the emulator, also when I load a .wav in Xroar, it reads through it just fine.

Edit:I should clarify that the IO error happens right after the short tone that gives the computer the name of the program it's trying to read.

[Converting .cas to .wav]

Update: I found this thread that has what I need.

http://atariage.com/forums/topic/254841-creating-wav-files-in-xroar/

Problem is, when I load a .cas file, the name of the program doesn't pop up on the screen and the emulator gets stuck of the flashing "S." Is this normal?

[Converting .cas to .wav]

I thought the Color Computer Archive already had .wav files posted.

They do, but they give me an IO error when I try to load them and I'm wondering if I could convert the .cas files myself and try those.

[Converting .cas to .wav]

Hi, I recently tried to load .wav files I downloaded from Color Computer Archive to my CoCo 2, but they give me an IO error. Is there anyway to convert the .cas files to a .wav that the CoCo 2 can read?

[What did you buy today?.........]

Bought me a Tandy CoCo cassette interface cable, along with a pair of those standard, non-centering Tandy CoCo joysticks and a copy of Skiing.

[What are you playing on iOS/droid/mobile?]

sadly I've spent most of my mobile time playing that dumb Magikarp Jump game, lol. I don't know why I can't stop playing it. ;_;

I honestly forgot that game existed until now. Never had any kind of interest in it.

[Anyone seen this joystick before? Different from my other joysticks.]

It seems to be a Flashback 3 joystick.

[Heavy Sixer Picked Up Last Night W/CX10’s]

Nice find. Been wanting to get a heavy sixer myself.

[Oh dear God Nintendo Labo!]

I never expected Nintendo to make something like this. Not gonna buy one but I think it's a neat enough idea.

[PC Controller]

I most of the time use a Wii Classic Controller by connecting it to my laptop through Bluetooth and using WiinUSoft to translate the controller's inputs into Xinput. Other times I use an old USB Steelseries gamepad from about 10 years ago for games that require Dinput.

[Poll: How good are you at classic arcade games?]

I'd say I'm good at arcade games. Though I'm pretty good at Food Fight.

[New Atari Console that Ataribox?]

Hey @ataribox this looks super awful, can wait to play!
