« Level » by Agenda, has been released at Lost Party 2026.
That's one the most beautiful Atari 8bit demo I've ever seen, with stunning graphix, amazing music and impressive 2D and 3D effects. Well done Agenda !

Welcome to Mastodon to @stevanikof !
He's an Ireland-based #retrocomputer and #retroconsole repair and upgrade genius.
He's done quality work for me, installing an INCOGNITO board in my original #Atari800, and bringing an #AtariSTfm back to life.
Stevanikof planted the seed that I, too, could learn and get hands-on with vintage electronics.

it feels good that i got 3 PRs approved and merged into the #atari800 emulator project just recently. two were fixes for ctrl-[letter] key handling and CAPS key handling in SDL2. the other PR allowed using -run <file> at the same time as -netsio, which enables access to #fujinetpc

Trying some ideas for a cross platform networked retro-game. Currently running on an #atari800 (altirra) /#fujinet and #segagenesis (blastem) / #retrolink. I hope to have a c64/meatloaf client running in the next day or two.

Working on some small patches to the #atari800 emulator. In particular, fixing some small nits in SDL2 stuff that don't quite work the same way as they did with SDL1.2. Some of these are minor, but wading through the code to figure out what is going on and what might have caused the problems is part of what makes this fun.

One can use an #Atari8bit computer like an #Atari800XL, or #atari800 emulator with #FujiNet-PC to connect to a CP/M #cpm emulator.

There's a 2.9kb binary file that runs on #Atari8bits with #FujiNet that quickly connects you to the Southern AMIS Projects 2026 - #Atari Gateway.
Here's a short demo.
btw, the "app" is even smaller than the animated GIF here. :D

I discovered that B. Watson (Urchlay) ported #Taipan to the #Atari8bit recently (2026). Obligatory screenshot below. It's still work-in-progress, but it's already pretty good.
I had wanted to port Taipan too, and I've posted elsewhere about my own feeble attempts. At least now, I can just enjoy playing the game on my Atari 800XL. :)

today, i worked on implementing netsio proceed signal handling in the #atari800 emulator. after hours of dev, I got it working and submitted a PR to the github:atari800/atari800 project.

Being new to the #Commodore world, I'm strangely thrilled to discover there's an implementation of #COMAL80 for the C64.
I was first introduced to it on the Apple ][ in secondary school. I didn't take it seriously at the time because it was so similar to BASIC, and because the Apple ][ was so clearly crippled compared to the #atari800 I had at home.

CompuServe is still running? We're almost the same age. 😞 Bulletin boards, dial up sub 14.4 and Macintosh not MacOS is about where we started. A computer is just a tool. Switch out when it no longer serves you. #linux #macos #pc #atari800 #compuserve #dialup www.compuserve.com

The time between Christmas and New Year is perfect for testing old hardware again. My #Atari800 setup and M.U.L.E. disk are still working. 🤩 Of course, I took the opportunity to play a full M.U.L.E. tournament.
Wishing all M.U.L.E. fans a great start to the New Year 2026. May it bring you lots of M.U.L.E. tournaments - whether on original hardware like this, or online with “M.U.L.E. Online” or “Planet M.U.L.E.”!

45 years ago, at about this time, my parents joined the home computer revolution. I think they did it at least partially with the idea that it would give their children skills or opportunities in life that we might have otherwise not had. They were probably right about that.
So, Dad picked out an Atari 800, with the RAM expansion board to take it to the full 48 KB. [1] He also opted for the expensive 810 floppy disk drive, which stored 90 KB per disk! The cost of the two together was about CDN $2100, a huge amount at the time.
If you had approached me at that time, using an 8-bit processor at less than 2 MHz, and told me that today I would be able to buy a computer with 2 (!) >100 MHz 32-bit processors (and 6 times the memory of that Atari) for CDN $2.50, delivered, and that it would be small enough that you could lose it down the back of the couch cushions, I would have thought you were out of your mind.
We truly do live in an amazing technological future. With all the Big Tech crap being pushed on us all the time, I think it's too easy to lose sight of that.
[1] Wikipedia's page on the Atari 8-bit series says RAM came on 16 KB cards, and that the 800 needed 2 add-on cards to reach the 48 KB max capacity. I distinctly remember the machine having only one additional expansion card, which must have been 32 KB. So Wikipedia would appear to be incorrect about this.
