Clint Thompson Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Does anyone actually use the Alpine to develop games with anymore or had everyone shifted to just flashing to Skunks or burning CDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXG/MNX Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Got two use them because i got the old devkit running alpine is still nice good debugging stuff. I want to try it on TT030 aswell... Skunk is nice when traveling to meetings.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I have three Alpines, but it's been a few years since I had them hooked up. I developed Protector RESURGENCE this past summer using the Virtual Jaguar emulator (thanks to CyranoJ for getting me set up on that!) and burning CDs to test on real hardware. Alpines are great for stepping through code, checking out variables in real time, and so on, but I am looking forward to trying out the Skunk for a future project.

Seedy1812 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I have just bought a skunkboard so I will be doing some dabbling in the near future - once I get my gear out of storage ( 300+ miles away and a ferry journey ). I did like the alpine boards but back in the day it did seem like it took forever to download roms, especially when you did it numerous times a day. Still it was not as painful as uploading to Atari's BBS a 2 meg rom ( zipped into chunks ) on a 14K modem and knowing that once it was sent you could go home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
