Sometimes I wish I lived in a different country where they sell stronger over the counter drugs, without the need to see a doctor and get a prescription.

not sure what country you live in but you can blame it on dumb****s who abuse medication. it's funny they'll tighten up regulations and make you jump through a million hoops but other objects that help facilitate death. not sure what those objects would be, you would have to use your imagination of course.

Just got Mr. Run and Jump. It's lot of fun and a bit addictive. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and check it out!

That's awesome! Two of my favorite things together: Atari & radio! Since you are soliciting requests, here are my recommendations:
1. Space Invaders (lots of recognizable sounds from that game).
2. Secret Quest (if you have it; it's got a lot of fun background sounds)
3. Dragon's Descent (fantastic homebrew by @Revontuli with lots of great music and sound, perfect for FM)
4. Dig Dug (Taizo Hori's shoes make music when you walk. Should be a lot of fun for the radio!)
5. Solaris (Lot's of trippy sounds in that game)
What FM station will you be on and at what time? Would love to listen live.
Edit: Just looked to the side and saw that you broadcast on KXSF 102.5FM and KPCR 101.9FM. I'll try to be more observant next time.

@SainT after CJ tease I gotta ask … are we there yet? I really need my vidgrid fix … oh wait I have a working JagCD… never mind … 🙂 I really hope we can have Simone working as well … I remember it failed on conversion, any luck with that homebrew? -

are you talking about the PC Game Port? Yea that's the Game Port I believe is the typical name. VGA just happens to be 15pins also in a different configuration. Ah never dealt with that before. Yea not sure how that would interface into the intellivision either. I suppose there must be a way. Just beyond my knowledge. I believe it will work, but it's funny how easy it is to get things reversed when you're dealing with these kind of adapters. A little tape would likely be all you need to insure they stay connected if it's meant to be a fairly permanent situation. wild -

Colors aren't all what makes a game. Just having less colors doesn't necessarily make it easier to replicate in software. For an 8KB cartridge release in 1981, I find it to be very good. You don't have the 3 missile silos; but that was patched in with Missile Command+, in a 16KB cart that doesn't even use most of the extra space. -

Y and O are not even close vs the “vinger” which at least is a mistake by same key just one row too low (asdf.. vs zxcv..) … but you do know you can reread it and re-edit right? And no your finger did not move too fast, it’s true mistakes happen but no need to make up excuses, and don’t swear to anything as we are at it. -

Hi @Boots01, I see you modified some directory details, which should be ok typically if everything is aligned. Also, when you searched on "Mouse Trap" for game entries, 2 entries resulted? How is the other one defined that matched on your search? That's one thing that sticks out to me currently. Did you try with the default locations first before moving the game rom and trigger file to the same folder? But mostly curious about the other search match. If the game is launching fine via folder-nav, makes me think potentially 2 different mouse traps are listed in the GUI, and you're selecting the one that doesn't match, or is in conflict possibly. -

First of all I looked at the video and found that you have 16 individuals micro switches for the 16 individual directions. What I want to do if I could fully realize it is have my 14 button joystick base, and my analog flight stick or, if I'm playing at 4-way or 8-way, game, my standard fight stick, Second, I don't know what the official name of this port is as I've never owned a PC especially a pre Windows PC but there's a 15 pin port that I call a PC 15 part that used to let you put in flight sticks it can be confused with the Atari 5200 port. And the Bohoki adapter actually converts between the 5200 ports and the pc15 port. is one of those ports you use for flight sticks in the '80s which are single-handed analog sticks with two buttons on it. The 3.5 mm refers to handicap controls used since the 1990s when I bought a KY enterprises joystick and is the system that Xbox currently uses with its adaptive control system. Since I'm asking from the community it should be only fair that I give to the community. I can make no money off of my inventions anyway unless it was so astronomical that I could live off the residuals at my lifestyle or better and have my insurance paid for. So it benefits the most people possible I let anyone use my ideas for free and hope that if it does get to the point where there's astronomical profits (not bloody likely but one can hope) like they'll get some loving in some form. But if I were to get paid say $5 a unit for my services (just an example, not a real charge) let's just say if it got more than 20 units in a year I would have to worry about my social security balancing for the year because the main reason why I'm on social security is because inability to work. This one time payments May disqualify me if it's too high or too frequent or whatever. And the insurance is the largest part of my benefits thanks to my medicines and disability. So actually do not pay me for these ideas so I give them out freely and you choose where you use them or not and it's worth exactly at least what you paid for them. I think I could design this pad as well as the retrogameboyz.com Intellistick to be a user- changeable ambidextrous model. So you could 180 the pad and they can both a lefty and a righty pad simultaneously. The layout you both happened to choose is perfect for ambidextrization. Just use the symmetry and rotate the joystick 180° to get the perfect flip side mapping. An example of it is on my website sinistersticks.com with my original ambidextrous fight stick. Also on the website is my observations about the state of the industry about why most controllers are not designed to be ambidextrous. Feel free to use any of my ideas however you want if you don't want to make separate left-handed and right-handed versions and have a user-serviceable ambidextrous controller. When I'm working with thumbs, I'm usually all thumbs. The thing that would be perfect is one of these people have a pc-15 intellivision 2 setup for their PC and I was wondering if I could have a direct to a television hardware connector for that type of setup. I think probably the best solution is to have two different solutions and try not to make a Swiss army knife out of intellivision. Probably retro gameboys.com would have the perfect four-way and 8-way solution if I could have those controllers outputting to 3.5 mm TRS as opposed to actual physical buttons to press but it should be pretty easy to convert between one and the other. I can't do it myself but it should be relatively easy. Ask for the Flashback to INTV2 adapter, I don't know whether you sent me the original one or the inverse one but I'll see if I could deal with it myself as I bought two sets of three DB9 double me mail and double female converters one for each joystick. By the way you could sell it for both is to have both ends be either double the male or double female whichever is less fragile, and you insert the double opposite one to make it a male to female cable one way to make it one way and the other way to make it the other way. By the way I've used VGA pin adapters on my consoleized Virtual Boy to get a stereoscopic inverse picture, where the color is the negative space and the black is the positive space unlike normal Virtual Boy where the color is the positive space and the black is the negative space. -

The 2600+ literally runs on an ARM chip. It’s native to native. The problems they’ve been having is with dumping to the Rom, not running them in stella -
One of my XBox games was available for download in Russia, one week before release, always a great experience. Go write a book for 12 months and then have it intercepted on the way to your publisher and posted online, then get back to us. -
Personally, not irritated. I like to hear all opinions and experiences. I love the big cat, but can easily see that if I had bought one when it was in production, I may have been disappointed given the marketing and retail catalog. It's not like when I show some friend my Jaguar games they're suddenly a convert and regret their PS1 or N64 purchases 30 years ago. Slightly amused is generally the best reaction I get. -
By the year 1998, I had already programmed about 10 games.
