When starting a new game, first thing I decide on is the graphics mode and display list.
-
I have been randomly searching YouTube, and in the last week these videos starting popping up.

We are having a technical issue that is having everyone baffled with reading multiple joystick controllers on a real 5200. It seems like from time to time, the player 2 fire button totally stops reading for awhile. Then starts reading again. I am sure I am not messing with the latch bit in GRACTL, that causes the fire buttons to read pressed until Latch bit is cleared.

Do you think you have seen some weird Media for playing music, movies, games, or storage for your computer?

Coming Soon!! Here is my video I made using the emulator to clearly show the game clearly.
Putt Eighteen Miniature Golf for the Atari 7800. This game has 6 different courses and an Random Course option that random plays a set of 18 screens from the six courses. All the sprites are multicolored graphics on the 7800. Other feature it has above the Atari 8-bit version is it also has tunnels, represented by what looks like extra holes, but trapezoid shaped. If the ball connects, it will disappear for a second, and appear where the tunnel ends on the screen. One or Two Players. Can turn off the obstacles and hills. Can play the cross hair, ball will shoot toward where you point at, hold the fire button down depending on how hard you want to shoot it. Also has the option to play the 2600 putting style, the further your "club" or square is from the ball, the harder you hit it in the opposite direction.

I have completed my first game in C Programming Language. I am doing this for my own learning experience and sharing what I learn with others.
The game is simple as with the Pascal Version. The difference here is that I added an additional ML call to scan the screen around the character you control. The minds highlight in Blue.
This is one of my reserved games and this version is being kept as open source. I have considerations of a more enhanced version that will have a vertical scrolling screen with obstacles, shells,moving tanks, and bunkers with enemies shooting from them. It will be sort off a mini "Ikiri Warriors" type game.

Well Windows PCs probably be Intel Dominate for a long time. Unless AMD comes up with a super good CPU causing Microsoft to start supporting a new CPU standard. If you build your own PCs, Many places have to AMD processors priced lower. Everyone tells me that you are paying just another $10 just for the Intel name on the processor.
Anybody remember there was a 3rd company making CPUs back in the 1990s called Cyrix?

Found this in my Facebook group. Thought I might share it here also.
Norths.de Classic Projects: The result is a Diy joystick with 9-pin connector for Commodore and Atari Joystick that is now suitable for every retro player - whether left-handed or right-handed. The next is that the Rabiator offers a middle button for Amiga games that need a second button. The whole is made of stable birch wood and laser cut. 100% arcade technology is also installed. The stick can be designed as you wish: the housing color, the button and joystick ball color and the actual controller overlay can of course be designed freely. A pure USB variant is of course also possible.

I think CC65 is packaged. I set some time aside to learn C language.

Hello. With everything that is going on in America and around the world right now because of the Novel Corona Virus Pandemic has great concern. Many of us are scared, concerned for family and friends, and many are out of work. I and along with my team hope that everyone. If you do not need to, stay home if you do not need to go out. I am working as a security guard and my community has not been hard hit yet, and not dealing with much chaos yet. I need to deal with people and travel to and from work by metro bus. My job is considered essential. I try to wear gloves when I can.
I know many of us within the Atari Community have been around for a long time and seen a lot. I know many do recover from the illness from Covid-19. The important thing is we keep ourselves safe until a vaccine has been created and more medical infrastructure is in place. These things do take time. Take Care. Stay Home, and enjoy some video games.

I have been using "Prosystem" and "Emu7800" to do runs of the 7800 games. Emu7800 may need data in the A78 header, but I never had the patience to mess with it. With each build. I heard about a mame 7800 emulator, I had it installed last year before my Windows crashed and had to reinstall everything. Had some problems getting this program to run and had to keep going back for support. I just remember there were issues.

That is amazing. Maybe it is possible to put a few games together that can take advantage of this type of controller.
-
We are working out a few minor problems before publishing Putt 18 for 7800. We have also Tile Smashers in the works along with a few other popular titles we done on the 5200 and 8 bit.

I would like to thank everyone that assisted with the production of the game. I would like to continue production of Atari 8-bit games and do ports to the 5200 & 7800. If anyone has any concerns, make suggestions, and report issues, they will need to post here on Atari.IO for us to respond or email us directly. Posting anywhere else will not matter, ignored, and will not get any assistance from myself or Video61.

Many pirated or bootleg movies come from China, Japan, and regions of South East Asia. It is no surprise you can get some gadget that can duplicate video from various formats. I had friends in the Military coming back with bootleg movies. That was before movies came down in prices to under $20 USD. You can order many VCD format movies online coming from there. To me a VCD looks like a VHS video recorded at EP.
What could had saved the VHS was if someone came up with a digital recording format on magnetic tape. I think a few people tried, but they waited until after DVD took the market.

There is probably software that allows you to do this from your PC. All you need is Composite or S-Video Out to your VCR. But the VCR is outdated. The modern hard drive is about the size of a video cassette that can hold many times my old video tape collection in much less space. But I do miss those days. Imagine what will be available 10 years from now. Every movie and TV show ever made stored on a thumb drive.
I am someone that reached DVD with a small collection and never jumped onto Blu Ray. I know Blu Ray would not have a big impact on the market because many People invested in collecting DVDs since 2000. How would these companies expect everyone to switch that same collection to Blu Ray? You really need a huge screen to see a difference. -
I know there are many people still around here that remember the good old VCRs and remember people taping shows from cable or copying tapes by attaching 2 VCRs together. Such fun days those were. From what I remember, there was a copy protection on some video cassettes that put bars above the frame that were high intensity black and white and sometimes changed from dark to white. Messing with VCR recording and screwed with the playback. Some brands of VCR still were able to copy without any issues. Anyone here ever play with This stuff.
