["New" Atari Game by Steve Wozniak]

Hi,

 

I just want to share with you my port to the Atari 800 of an really classic game.

 

The Last week I found and old magazine article, it's dated September, 1976. The author is Steve Wozniak and the Mag is my opinion the best mag of all times: Dr. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthecnics & Orthodontia

 

The program was written with the Apple 1 as the main target machine, but in the article (very short by the way) Steve put some instructions just in case you want to port it to other 6502 machines.

 

Now in 2010, when I finished the reading of this old piece of computer history I decide to port the game to the Atari 8 bit. In the process I founded an error on the Assembly Listing but I can fix the problem in a couple of hours.

 

I like to maintain the source code as close as the original as I can, but I be forced to make some changes in order to:

1) Assemble the source code with the cross assembler that I have at hand, adding comments identifiers.

2) Change the input / output routines for the Atari DOS Platform.

3) Fix the memory location of the "variables" because the listed version is not going to work on any machine (*)

 

(*) I think that maybe the Mag. published some fix on the next issues, but I do not have any number from those years... Im are 6 years old on 1976, I just start reading DDJ thanks to the father of a friend on 1989

And the Atari executable here mstmnd.exe, a complete game on 333 bytes

A million Thanks James !!!

 

Gus

[Does anyone have the original DDT manual?]

I have the manual for DDT that is part of Mac65. I wasn't aware of DDT with atari macro assembler.

I can scan it if you wish.

 

James

 

Hi James,

 

That will be great if you scan the manual of the DDT. Im looking for it from a long long time.

 

Thanks in advance,

Gus

[Atari1020 (an Atari 1020 emulator)]

Fair enough, there's already some printer emulation in APE.

 

Buena suerte with your program.

 

Yes, I know that the APE has some printer emulation, so my objective is to give this feature to the Atari emulators.

But if this works fine maybe I do some SIO2PC version, in the first place I need to made a SIO2PC cable ...

 

Good By(t)e,

Gus

 

P.D. Hablás español ?

[Atari1020 (an Atari 1020 emulator)]

Looks great.  Have you given any thought as to using it with a sio2pc/APE setup?

 

Thanks. In this first stage I just want a version that we can use from the emulators. Maybe in a future I will do a SIO2PC compatible version.

 

Good By(t)e,

Gus

[Atari1020 (an Atari 1020 emulator)]

Hi everyone !!!

I´m working on an Atari 1020 Emulator. The basic idea is that we can run all the software that uses this device from any emulator (I´m using Atari800Win Plus right now)

This is a development release and like I dosen`t own a real 1020 I take for sure some functional instructions from the original manual plus some source code that was published on Antic mag. I like to thanks Ibaeza from Atariware.cl for the manual scanning and the original plotter software copied.

There is a very log TODO list but I want to share with all of you the first outputs...

 

Output: Atari 1020 Manual SINE AND COSINE CURVES

 

Output: Atari 1020 Manual PLOTTING ABILITY

 

Good By(t)e,

Gus

[Can H.E.R.O. be fixed so it's random from the start?]

Oh, and I could send you my very basic disassembly.

 

Hi Thomas, if you can send me your basic disassembly maybe I can get a better one .... This is my first 8K disassembly experience.

Be well,

Gus

[Can H.E.R.O. be fixed so it's random from the start?]

HI, I'm working on the H.E.R.O. New Worlds (a Level Editor) I can tell you that there is a lot of hardcoding on this game original code.

I will post some progress soom

[Spring 2004 Hacks Update]

We've made another large Atari 2600 Hacks update, this time adding over 30 new hacks since the last update.  Hacks are a fun way to experience old games in a new light, and many popular 2600 games have been modified in some fashion.  Thanks go out to StanJr for compiling this Spring 2004 hacks update.  You can browse through all the Atari 2600 hacks here.

 

Hi Al, Im asking if we can include the Indy 500 XE to the hacks list ...

Just tell me and I send you the images and the last ROM, if Xot agree we can include the manual. I think Atari isn´t going to clain that we share the hack free of charge

Be well,

Gus

[HERO (NEW WORLDS)]

I work long hours on a hack and a editor fofr the loved H.E.R.O. Game, All this in the midtime when the winners of my previous hack Indy 500 XE where selected ....

The Albert give me the bad news So I think that Activision will do the same and all the work is useless one more time.

I try to contact somebody at Activision (because I like to do a new version of H.E.R.O. for the Palm OS, but they never respond me. I now that my english isen´t very good but even in that case they can just say NO we are´t interested or something like that.

I posted on the IGDA (International Game Developers Association) and a couple of layers tell me that do this mobile version without previous autorization isn`t a good idea.

Well now I like to do some more hack or may be a new game for the 2600 but Where can I start ? some idea ? some company that for sure will not send a memo to the AtariAge guys ??

I like to start working on some Atari project as soon as posible so any help are welcome,

[SUPERCHARGER GAMES IN WAV FORMAT]

Umm, the supercharger games are still copyrighted....

So, we might get our asses sued off by Bridgestone Multimedia, the current owner of the Starpath games.  

 

 

So....I think I'll pass on this one....

 

WOW I don´t really know that.

 

I personally respect the copyrights, I´m a programmer

So this project/tread is ended. :wink:

 

Good luck next time or in a future maybe we can do it, in midtime I will search eBay looking for tapes...

 

Gus

[SUPERCHARGER GAMES IN WAV FORMAT]

Does anyone has some supercharges tapes on WAV format ? I has only two tapes Phaser Patrol and Dragonstomper and I will save those in WAV Files so Albert can include it on the 2600 Section.

What do you boys think about ?

[Indy 500 XE Track Design Contest - Winners Announced!]

Hi, I just want to say THANK YOU to all the people that participate in the contest. I´m apologize too by the delay in the winners selection. But like everybody knows PC5 takes a lot of time

BTW I did a special ROM image with some pseudo random :wink: selected tracks. Maybe you can found your tracks on the PC5 photo gallery.

The work on the program is over and I think that in the 4K will be space for near 18 different tracks and 32 game variations.

So Albert is selecting their favorites and I doing the same, so stay tunned to know who are the winners...

 

All the entries are really GREAT, so I think I will do more VCS2600 hacks

Thanks again,

 

Gus

Sorry if my english isn´t good enough
