@selzero Silly Atari BASIC programs, including a game called "Dragthon" (because it "dragths on", geddit?), written in the early 1980s and (mostly) recovered recently from cassette tape thanks to the very awesome #Altirra emulator.

@inverseatascii @feoh oh, interesting, thanks. I'm using the 'portable' approach as I don't want config in the Wine registry. I'm thinking I'll put the 'portable' directory in git, create separate branches for each config and git checkout between them. Assuming #Altirra doesn't already have a fully-fledged profile manager. (I haven't looked into it.)

@feoh So I'm discovering! I'd avoided #Altirra until now because of the #Wine dependency on #Linux, but actually it runs superbly under Wine.

I thought the native package #atari800 would satisfy all my needs, but now that I've set up #Ultimate1MB in Altirra too, I've got a perfect emulation of one of my original hardware setups. I need to figure out how to set up a separate profile in Altirra with the #INCOGNITO firmware. And get an emulated #FujiNet running too. Dunno how feasible that is on Linux.

a8cas-convert is often great, but I'm finding #Altirra does a more reliable job of successfully turning (ancient) eight-bit data tape audio into a successfully loaded program.

Looks like a8cas-convert has been effectively abandoned since 2015: https://a8cas.sourceforge.net/news.html

I am adding a High Score table to every #Atari8Bit game I can. Users with a #FujiNet benefit having internet shared High Scores. Users without one can still save the scores for themselves.

Since I do not have source code for these games, I have to reverse engineer them, and thanks to #Altirra's debugger. I can. #retrocomputing #retrogaming #gamedev.

The Steam Deck runs Altirra really well!

I did have to configure the controller, and I haven’t tried any games that require a keyboard but I could remap some of the triggers to those keys.

Using the #Altirra #Atari8bit emulator debugger on #DonkeyKong to find places to insert the call to the high score table routines, by examining the call stack and tracing through the program, with it. An amazing tool. #retrocomputing #retrogaming

@BlindSeer

Alternate Reality: The Dongeon run fine with Altirra emulator! :0)

What a good introduction, too.
