I #3dprinted a new case for an old #atari7800 i bought on ebay with a boken case for cheap. I thought it came out super nice with the two color filament using my #bambulabs #3dprinter. I used this #atariage link as a model.

Had some fun playing Pac-Man on the #Atari 800XL with my son last night.

Da lernt man im #Atariage Forum was über eine tote Maus 🤔
Hab nicht genau verstanden, ob sie evtl. #FoodFight gehacked und bei einer Show verteilt haben, aber zumindest wenn ich sie mir auf Youtube anschaue(!) ist die Musik von #deadmau5 cool 😉

I think there's a book to be written on the afterlife of #Atari based on the goldmine that is the #AtariAge forum.
The world will be a poorer place if the database underlying that forum is irretrievably lost. It's such a hodgepodge of nuggets of tribal knowledge. Several entire "Missing Manual"s-worth of valuable information on hardware, emulators, programming languages old and new and much more.
Try the discussion thread on the release of the Action! programming language source code, as just one example of the rich lore shared by the Atari retrocomputing community: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/217770-action-source-code/

Posted an utterly minimal flashcard-style hex-to-binary conversion trainer to #AtariAge, as my first effort in #FastBasic.

I'm really enjoying #FastBasic on #atari8bit! It feels much more modern* than other languages on the platform, and the native IDE booting from BW-DOS has just enough utility to make it viable to write code on an Atari 800 or equivalent. (I miss vi's 'join' and a search and replace utility, but the edit/save/run cycle feels very natural.)
FastBasic's author is active on #AtariAge, and has also contributed to the recent 1.5 release of BW-DOS, in conjunction with Jiří Bernášek, the original author of BW-DOS.
It's extraordinary; the #retrocomputing scene is more lively and robust than ever, between new hardware add-ons and new programming languages.
- Well, 1970s structured programming modern; in FastBasic, there's no scoping of variables, nor functions that return values, nor hand-holding error messages. Lots of great utility in the several looping constructs and 16-bit DPOKE and DPEEK, and the recent addition of #FujiNet commands is intriguing, on top of the existing #XIO support.

Big shout out to #BeebleBrox over on #AtariAge for some kind and helpful advice on where to go next with my gorgeous #Atari #130XE with dead console keys.
Thanks to their guidance, I was able to identify my keyboard type and confidently open it up to examine the Mylar membrane. At first glance it looked pristine, but on closer visual inspection and doing continuity checks with a multimeter, I found a break - which someone else had thoughtfully highlighted for me!
I've ordered a new membrane from #Retrohax_de, which seems to be the same https://retronics.eu membrane as sold by https://retrolemon.co.uk.
(The membrane available from https://www.retrofuzion.com appears to be for the rubber dome version, comparing it with the other variant from retrolemon, though they don't say.)
I'd never have figured all this out without the kindness of strangers. Thank you, Beeblebrox. And the mystery person who had inspected this membrane before and highlighted the break!

Received my copy of #Penult in #cartridge form today. It's a #demake of #ultima for the #Atari2600, an #OpenWorld #RPG, I'm amazed that a game like this can run on my original 1977 #VideoGame machine. It was cutting edge to run Ultima on an #apple2 when it first came out in 1981. It even comes with an official cloth map. Super cool, thanks to #AtariAge and the developer. Maybe I should get it running in VR :-) Does anyone know where I can get an #Atarivox so I can save my game.

Homebrew Atari 7800 Arcade Ports
Just a quick post today, last year user PacManPlus made available free downloads of some of their Atari 7800 remakes of arcade games. For people who aren't in the scene this might be of limited interest, but these games were formerly sold commercially on AtariAge's website and not

I am having an unreasonable amount of fun rediscovering the amazing #atari8bit universe. My trusty original #Atari800 has been fitted with #lotharek's #INCOGNITO board and #FujiNetPro (and a flawless 1050 floppy drive for good measure). Figuring out how to get all this hardware playing nicely together has taken me a few evenings of experimentation and many hours trawling through the #AtariAge forums! I'm getting the hang of it now. #SpartaDOSX is thankfully quite like #MSDOS, with a pleasing #Atari accent.
It's funny - games don't really interest me. It's the utility software that floats my boat. Can I actually be productive with #FlashJazzCat's #TheLastWord #WordProcessor? I can see myself writing official correspondence with it, printed to one of the many printers emulated by the #FujiNet.
Is #AtariPril a thing? Attempt to use an 8-bit Atari for all your computing needs during April? I might just get enough skills built up by then to be somewhat productive!

It was to be expected, but now it becomes a reality: The new owner of #MobyGames has started to try making money with user-contributed content.
And should you not be aware of: MobyGames was bought by #Atari not long ago. They also recently bought #AtariAge. I guess that means we all know what will happen over there as well. Atari is not a philanthropist - they want to make money.

Whether the #AtariAge forums will survive will have to be seen, but the Homebrew Community will be forever grateful to Curt and Glenn to get us the #Atari #Jaguar signing keys to make homebrew games work on unmodified consoles. https://forums.atariage.com/topic/32170-jaguar-cd-encryption-bypass-thread/#comment-388168

#retrogaming #retrocomputing ho appena letto una notizia che mi ha lasciato un po interdetto.Il famosissimo e storico sito/forum #AtariAge ha accettato un'offerta di acquisto da parte di #Atari. Tutto questo rientra nelle politiche di rivalutazione del marchio in atto da parte del nuovo proprietario. Cosa ne sarà del futuro della comunità cha ha mantenuto la memoria di #Atari nel corso degli anni? Chissà...
