I have stella and never had a problem before its weird Your browser may be flagging the files as a virus and not downloading them (see if the file size is zero). If this is the case, you can override the browser and force it to download the full file. Look at the thread I posted to your earlier question. If you don't have the latest stella, you may want to update that also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warzownd Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Juno First 166400, so good. Also, kinda wacky to be the 3rd Jason in the top 6 of a gaming group. Are there more Jason's? 🤣 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonhrb Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Well, given this apears to be becoming a bit of a "Jason fest" , it's probably a good time to post my improvement in Juno First. This might be one of my favourite blasters on any platform. Even allowing for the 32k ROM, I'm really not sure how this was done on the 2600. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnRedeemed Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Nowadays Jason is listed as the 145th most popular boy baby name according to one site I checked. Although that does not reflect the popularity around the time HSC members would have been born, if we assume it approximates it and that only males participate in the HSC, if my statistics are right (they probably aren't) that would mean around a one in three million chance of three guys named Jason in a random group of six. Of course the name may have been a lot more popular during the relevant era, and backward-looking odds do not necessarily indicate an incredible coincidence (maybe a better measure would be the odds that any moderately common name would be represented three times in a group of six; or taking the first Jason as a given, the odds of a second and third Jason appearing, which would be like 1 in 21,000 assuming current popularity). Still... pretty cool. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnRedeemed Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Oops, in the Jason odds post I forgot to account for the need to adjust based on the nationality breakdown on Atariage/HSC, which may make a Jasonfest even less likely. But then there is the turnover/replacement rate, determining the number of opportunities for this to occur at least once at some point. Plus the correlation between first name and interests along with likely causative factors. Come to think of it, every Jason I have ever known has been a major video gamer. So maybe this was actually inevitable, ending my fascination with the triple-Jason representation situation. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
