Albert Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 looks like a few here have made there own custom cases, i plan on doing the same, AA will be coming out with a case for them too. its still early i believe for them to of actually have a case ready, im sure its gonna be soon or soon enough It's not likely that we'll have a case for them until sometime in January. Richard Hutchinson designed the AtariVox to fit in a particular case, which I have a sample of, and it's likely we'd use this case. The case has enough room for an internal speaker, and this is something I need some time to experiment with. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 loopcart "january" atarivox case "january" owning your atarivox now "priceless" One of the main reasons I wanted to add the AtariVox to the store now was so homebrew authors, and others interested in writing software to take advantage of the AtariVox, could get their hands on one immediately. Plus it helps increase exposure of the AtariVox so when titles do start coming out, people will have already heard of it. ..All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulag picture radio Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Those are really valid points. I just hope that once you've got the cases sorted out, that perhaps you'll make some available to those of us who bought the AtariVox thingy already. I bought mine directly from the creator before I knew that AtariAge would be carrying them with a case later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari_aaron Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 So will the AtariVox be available for the forseeable future, or is it something that will be sold only as a limited run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the case we end up using doesn't require a change to the circuit board dimensions, then yes, I'll make it available to everyone who purchased an AtariVox previously. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIeric Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 will the atarivox be capable of making your own wav files if hooked up to the pc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 If you mean record the Atarivox output while you are playing a game... sure! If Windows' built in audio recorder won't do it, a program like Total Recorder will do the trick. If you mean record a wavefile on your PC to be accessed by the Atarivox and played during a game... no, that's not the way the Atarivox works.

ATARIeric Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 ah, so what your saying is, i could take a cable from the speaker output of atarivox and put the other end to a input of a recording device and record that way ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulag picture radio Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Yeah, it just has an 1/8" jack - like a walkman plug. You can hook it up to whatever and record it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, or in this case: Atarivox output -> cable -> Soundcard input and then use the software to record your wavefile. Windows' built in audio recorder probably would work in this case. In the past I've used Total Recorder for other jobs because it will record analog sound. If I remember right, Windows' Audio Recorder wouldn't record the sound from games or programs that I was running on my computer. This shouldn't be the case with the Atarivox (totally different scenario, really), so you could probably ignore the bit about Total Recorder from my earlier post. I guess I was a little bit confused myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven/TQA Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 in theory is it possible to use that device for atari 800 as well??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H. Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 in theory is it possible to use that device for atari 800 as well??? Yes, it should work on anything that has a joystick port pinout similar to the 2600 / 7800. The following pins are used in the AtariVox - Pin 1 - digital (u) Pin 2 - digital (d) Pin 3 - digital (l) Pin 4 - digital ® Pin 7 - +5V Pin 8 - GND Take a look at Alex's driver notes, it should give you enough info to code a driver for another system - http://www.atariage.com/store/misc/atarivox.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shouldn't be the case with the Atarivox (totally different scenario, really), so you could probably ignore the bit about Total Recorder from my earlier post. I guess I was a little bit confused myself. all total recorder does is create a virtual audio cable and tap the record output. You can do a similar thin natively in winamp.. or just route your sound card output into its input 9just turn the monitoring volume all the way down) and use the meters to set your recording levels. Its too bad it only comes with a 1/8th jack... maybe they could add an option for rca or 1/4 in? peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A $3 adapter from Radio Scrap will convert from a 1/8" plug to a RCA jack or whatever you want. Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uosipa llamxew Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Sorry, I understand now. I didn't realize the Star Raiders controller had a pass-through port. Good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
