emkay Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=46031 In 8-bit's ancient times ( ) I dreamed of the possibility to create similar (or better) cartoon videos on the ATARI. But there was no mass storage Hardware and no Software to create such. To put such idea into reality, a fast drive on the parallel port would have been necessary. Perhaps a Megacart does have enough memory, a Moviemaker for this would still be left.... Can this be changed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Moviemaker could do something similar...linking multiple 'toons together. Loading speed would be the only issue, but less important when using an external method like SIO2PC. But what for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loading speed would be the only issue, but less important when using an external method like SIO2PC. I doubt that Moviemaker is able to handle G2F like screens and putting them together with some RMT style music. And, Yes, "only" with a parallel device it would be possible to create data transfers without any beep and the speed that would be needed for this. And it would be possible to poll Data-Blocks without any timing issues and size limits. But what for? Good question For what reason do people try to create new software and hardware?

Nukey Shay Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 So it will be used Seems like this would be a massive undertaking for such a small audience. Noble quest! Best of luck if you wish to proceed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 So it will be used OK... now, here and today I would say, forget it But... ABBUC has taken a new place in a german Event called "Hobbytronic" and to support the project something special must happen... What would be the best eye-catching thing to make people taking care about it? A "movie" played on A8 hardware... even if it is an animated cartoon... would be one possibility...

backtoskooldaze Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Mr Atari has made his own digitized movie and it also requires a harddrive in order to watch.So if mass storage is not a problem these days by using Myide+hd then movies can't be impossible surely??? P.s Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
