But jeff is a fellow dev. The rest of you none devs are sub-human and don't get to speak on any matters, bro.

If the source code for my stuff on that disc is not on the disc (I don't think it is), I'd like to release that if you do another run of those discs. I may also have slightly newer version of the Breakout demo.

That is not a prototype. It is either a reproduction, or the actual cart that was stolen from a 1998 World of Atari show, showing an incomplete build. This info is from Scott Legrand himself.

Why is nobody recommending Altirra? It's by far the best 8-bit emulator for the computers (and 5200 which is the same thing).

It is a very nice design, with some cool upgrades such as 2X and 4X for the ANTIC/GTIA. Hi-res with colour. As mentioned, multiple multipliers (how's that alliteration) for CPU clock. Compatible with SIO devices, USB keyboard and controllers. I love mine - had fun with a beta version My build album (pretty sparse - sorry) - is here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/75619516@N06/sets/72157684901793962/

Not according to documentation I've found online!

Yeah - it will run as a binary file on the Atari, you flash it, and reboot.

Thanks to everyone working on this!

Damn - 14 hours drive each way for me, and I wouldn't want to fly since I couldn't bring any equipment. Bit too far for me sadly.

ROM card is mandatory, and at least one RAM card is required for the machine to boot. The BASIC cart is not - you'll get a "memo pad" without it which is only good for testing the kayboard.

Yes - the 800 also has that switch. It's easy to bypass with a tiny solder bridge, and can be undone if needed with no trace. You'll see the switch on the power supply PCB. It's just to the right of the large diameter hole, and in front of the RF modulator. On the underside of the PCB, 2 of the 3 pins will need bridged (use a multi-meter to figure out which two close when the switch is held down).

If that's not ironic, I don't know what is!

Only problem is, every screen looks a little different, and cameras almost always ruin the colours. Add all this up and then add on top of it, the frustration of being colour blind. It's a losing battle for me, for sure.

Glad it only has to save a maximum of 2kB since XBios doesn't like to go above 1X SIO

Well, the machine was always (from GTIA onwards) as a 256 colour machine, not a 240 colour one. So I never understood (nor adjusted) mine to make the two hues match.

I still don't understand how a maximum of 768 bytes has caused this many issues for over a decade.

I did those, very quickly, and using code from the source directory included with the initial VBXE install stuff. I believe someone had discovered that the selectable D640/D740 code did not work. I also make sure to not clear out VBXE RAM in the last bank, knowing that's where S_VBXE driver lives. That being said, I am not requiring that driver be used, nor am I using any of the features in those demos. It's my feeble attempt at learning 6502 coding. MADS, and VBXE stuff all at the same time. Definitely not something that should be used as example code.

I'm also still ignoring the thread, but I am not ignoring the notifications from said thread.

I think you would get more views if you start doing the stupidest face possible in your thumbnails. Seems to be a thing now and holy shit is it annoying.

A good day this is!

Wow - what a find! You'll get a pretty penny for that when it's cleaned up.

You beat me to it!

I've heard that the latest 2 or 3 year delay, is caused because of negotiations with Cindy Margolis. They want her to replace Patricia McPherson as KITT's mechanic Bonnie, and well, a suitable financial agreement cannot be made.

OK - I am pretty far into the "way the hell overkill situation". My two "listening rooms". Not pictured are my two "spare" Comtech 1610s which will each do a massive 875*2 into 4 ohms (all day every day). All amp specs are full RMS at sub 0.05 THD and I have certified all of them on my test bench. I can only test one channel at a time on the Comtech 1610s as running a sine wave into my load block, one channel can pop a 15Amp breaker! To really crank them, I'd need to re-wire them for 240VAC operation. Those 2 amps are going to drive my ultimate cabinets, I have the drivers but haven't had time (or space) to build them. I have 4 18" subs, 8 12" bass/mid drivers, and 8 super tweeters. Dream setup - I really hope I get to build it soon. None of the amps are new little lightweight BS Class D stuff. All 19" rack mount pro-gear, 40 to 65 pounds per amp) Denon AVR-X4700H (used in pre-amp only mode for AV switching & some signal processing) Behringer DEQ2496 EQ and DSP for the front channels Behringer DSP8024 EQ and DSP for the rear channels Crown DC-300A Series II powering the subs (490*2 into custom 2 ohm subs - 12" ported cabinets) Crown D-75A running bridged mono into center channel speaker Crown DC-300A Series II powering the subs (300*2 into custom 4 ohm rears - 10" 3-way cabinets) Crown Com-Tech 800 powering the fronts (490*2 into AAL2230B cabinets - dual 12" 3-way ported cabinets) The quiet listening room - In this room I only ever have one pair of speakers on at a time, and they are not always in this configuration - this is more the testing area for my cabinet rebuild / restoration work. Yamaha RX-V793 for AV switching and also powering the 2 speakers. 1 is an 8inch 2-way cabinet, one is a rebuilt and customized 12" 4-way ported cabinet Son of Ampzilla (160*2 into 4 ohms powering rebuilt AAL Studio 400s - dual 10" 3-way sealed cabinets) SAE Mark 3 (120*2 into 8 ohms powering rebuilt and customized 15" 3-way ported cabinets)
