NE146 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 What pudding? j/kI'm famished! Why are you running it with the boring phosphor green color? Well if you read my post above (and pretty much every other post here where I mention Applewin) you'll notice I ALWAYS mention how I like to run my games in MONOCHROME GREEN. Since that's the kind of monitor I had, it just makes me all warm and fuzzy when I play games that way again And of course when I want to play in color, it takes all of 2 clicks so it's never any problem Actually.. it takes a bit more effort to get the display in Applewin all green like that, as you have to choose from the color pallette.. but for me, it's worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I ran mine through a busted VCR to get full color on a cheapo TV. Never been fond of 12:00 flashing for eternity, though.

Shannon Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 hehe... I don't normally dig-up old conversations but... CTIA artifacts in blue/green, GTIA in 400/800 artifacts in green/blue and GTIA in XL/XEs artifacts in red/blue. Got this from jindroush's hardware info page. I didn't know they had 400's/800's with the GTIA chip. Or was that a user hack upgrade? musta had something to do with the video out timer?? I don't know much about hardware and how it works.

Nukey Shay Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Hard to say what you normally do, since you only have 6 posts j/k But anyway... IIRC All 400's and 800's had the GTIA chip installed starting Nov.'81. Chip info (including patents) can be found here: http://isc.faqs.org/faqs/atari-8-bit/faq/s...section-12.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 ok thanks it's a little hard to recall all this information so many years later ya'll guys are really bringing back some memories. I dabbled with 8-bit emulation a couple years ago, but then kinda got involved with other things. Once I sold my Atari 400 (for an 800xl I believe) I never really kept up much on the older systems. I was just thinking the other night that I forgot what the second cartridge slot in the 800 was used for. Though I did remember one thing. I think there was some 80 column display cart you could plug into it. Which atari computer was the ATR hardware useable on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
