Re: Hatari on Atari

stephen_usher : yeah, that's like the imaginary holy grail of emulation on our small platform. It sounds great in theory but in practice it would be way less usable than you'd expect. Many games, demos basically switch to supervisor, access hardware directly (even for no or little reason) and after...

Re: Wiki dead links

Sure, I do it all the time -- when I find a dead link, I try to google its current version and replace with wayback as the last resort. Just make it online. ;)

Re: Falcon Restoration Project

That's definitely good news. You've got basically basic RGB output from Videl. The most common state with black screens is getting "out of sync" on monitor and bye. Perhaps ROM and/or RAM is not getting its chance to do something further. You could try the diagnostic cartridge + serial out...

Interestingly, ebay.com / de / co.uk / fr / whatever always syncs your account with all the purchases.

Re: TT won't boot; "flashing" white screen pink square

You wont find anything specific in the service manual except what stephen_usher told you: diagnostic cartridge here is key. That magenta doesn't come from software, so it looks like a hardware fault (TTVIDEO, MCU etc). However there's still chance that the diagnostic cartridge will boot and show som...

That can be indeed tricky. Perhaps at least categories like "Atari only", "Games", "Hardware", that should be pretty stable per channel.

Re: Falcon Restoration Project

No no, that's price for one unit. BEST doesn't mess around (EDIT: Ah, you mean the $2400 sum, yes, that's for a pack). As for the NVRAM outside Falcon, IIRC TOS behaviour depends on the version. Like 4.01 and 4.02 boots without NVRAM while 4.04 doesn't, something like that. AF is full of messages &q...

Re: Falcon Restoration Project

If I were to guess, somebody attempted to replace the NVRAM IC and messed it up. The wires to the CPU doesn't look like a good sign either. In the meantime you can check connections between NVRAM and the other components, most likely there will be broken paths. I guess you are aware of the fact that...
