Atari Code

We're copying the builtin "MORT***" program from the Dartmouth DTSS emulator, over to the Hercules MVS 3.8j emulator.

I finished typing in the Castle Quest game. Now, comes the hard part.

Wherein I will spend all afternoon, and part of the evening typing in code from Compute's Third Book Of Atari

Let's have a BASIC birthday party!

Walking through what I did to get audio working on freedos and the Lenovo T460

Back in the day, before the advent of multitasking windows, we all wanted to be able to run multiple programs at once. One trick to achieve this on DOS, was the TSR (Terminate and Stay Ready) program. Borland achieved this quite well with Sidekick. In this demo, I will show you how to use Sidekick as a clipping service for your C Programming, with Borland's Turbo C editor.

Wherein I write a small article to show the functionality of WordPerfect for DOS, running on FreeDOS, on a Lenovo T460

For Lunduke Journal DOS WEEK II - Installing Freedos, and customizing it with applications.

This is what really attracted me to computers originally. I almost became a game composer because of it.

When you're either not equipped or don't have the time to get into the guts of the Atari 1050 disk drive, but you still want to make your Atari retro computer useful, then you need another way to get files on and off the machine. Here are some of the ways that you can do that.

So, I'm reposting here, the demo I posted a few days ago. Only this time, it's re-captured using a different device. The original capture was done with a $200 device that was supposed to be capable of 4K (although I don't own any 4K devices), and had multiple HDMI input capability. This capture was done with $14 Amazon dongle. It's WAY BETTER, both in terms of video resolution and color, AND in terms of audio capture: better frequency range and better dynamic response. This video is proof that price isn't necessarily an indicator of anything.

When I don't want to use Studio

This is also a pretty dope chiptune! I got jealous of the SID chiptune I posted, and decided to offset it with this POKEY chiptune. This has some pretty amazing graphics, as well, thanks to the ANTIC and the GTIA. If someone were to combine the SID, the ANTIC, and the G/CTIA into one 6502 machine, I think you'd have the perfect 8 bit machine.

This music was so similar to the original Moon Patrol music that I couldn't help myself! Thanks To: * hirudov2d for the masterful gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mESUbgU_Pg * beeble for the absolutely amazing chiptune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FsOvdrnBYA

Wherein I show the difference in performance between the SIDE2 emulated BASIC XE cartridge, and a firmware flashed physical BASIC XE cartridge.

Wherein we try to go through some of the K&R examples, and convert them to Deep Blue C for the Atari 8-Bit line of computers.

How to transfer text data to and from your Tandy 100/102

Wherein I do a very quick thumbnail sketch examination of 4 terminal editors, and evaluate them in comparison to each other

Going through the freedos\bin directory, one command at a time. This episode: A-H.

I put FreeDOS 1.3 on my Lenovo T460 Laptop, and outfitted it with a wide array of excellent applications, which I pulled from WinWorldPC.com.

This is a demonstration of the keyboard on the Tandy Model 100/102. The travel is slightly spongy, but the action is very smooth, and the response on the display is instantaneous. The key caps are smooth-topped rather than cupped, which is slightly problematic, but otherwise, it's a great keyboard! The previous version had misaligned audio/video. I also cropped this a bit, to save on video size. If you're looking for an Atari video, not everything on this channel is about Atari. Just most of it ;) Also, pardon the laundry washing machine noises. Things have to get done!

More game play, because I'm bored.

When I'm bored, I like to play video games.

I've sorted myself out, and now we can proceed.
