yorgle Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I found a neat screensaver that simulates the test sequence of an xl, but what would be really cool would be a simulation of the color waterfall ATARI logo with black background from a 1200xl. Anyone know of one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 no, but if you find one please share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiliteZoner Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Here's the self test one I found. Thanks, that's pretty cool. I have looked for the Fuji one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urchlay Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 A 1200XL Fuji logo wouldn't make a very good screen saver... the whole point of a screensaver is to, well, save your screen (from having an image burned in). You'd end up with a permanent Atari logo burned into your screen... actually maybe that's not such a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like the FujiBoink demo? http://www.langesite.com/atari/Holmes/Holm.../f/FUJIBOIN.COM You'd want to get rid of the checkered background and the sounds though...

Defender II Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Send me a copy when you find one. It will make using an emulator feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorgle Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 I don't think one exists. My programming skills don't go much beyond BASIC and some crude 6502 assembly. I see that there are screensaver creator programs you can buy that can make screensavers from an animation. I suppose you could feed the ATARI screen into a pc using a video capture card, save it as a jpeg or something and then use one of these programs to convert it to a screensaver. Anyone here have that capability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
