Hi! Quite interresting topic, here :) I have to disagree on fundamental grounds, though. ;) The high volume video games market pretty much started during the 70`s with Atari`s VCS console. There were tons and tons of games for it. And while it sure had it`s fair share of classics, there were many *r...

FireAnt, a simple but fun arcade game on the C64:

(I have seen Pong before, but never played it )

Hi fred, just to make things a bit easier upon the long term future of Atari emulation: There'll allways be the option to run an(y) emulator inside a VM or another emulator. As long as those are present, there won't be a serious prob. E.g.: I do run win Atari emulators inside of wine (Kubuntu/Linux)...

Hi

I do have Best's silicon caps in two ST's and they do better the tactile feedback a lot. They shouldn't be combined with their springs, however. They result in much to stiff key presses.

Good luck!

amiga = keyrah, been there, done that (not myself)

Well,

where`s the ST port?
(No, I'm not talking about Frontier )

Ought to be a pretty massive universe with a hefty full meg of ram and procedural generation, right?

"Forget about the verdict, I gotta find a printer cardridge here!"

Gotta set some priorities here, right?

Well, just try it, right?

It probably even depends on you actual motherboard. The sheer size but the IC's placement, also.

Good luck!

Yepp: http://www.atari-forum.com/download/file.php?id=16851 http://www.atari-forum.com/download/file.php?id=16853 But even without the netbook case the ground place for it remains the same. I seriously doubt you can place a laptop board there. :roll: 8) Cheers, AxelG

Hi,

well I tried to place an (albeit complete) Netbook inside a ST.
It had to be an STFM and it was a pretty close fit, still.

Cheers,
Axel

Nice conversion, Robson.

I did a (new, add.) 520 ST USB keyboard which I connected to a new, much stronger PC. This way I have an Win7 64bit ST

Take care.
AxelG

There you go, Calimero. ;) You first said: "for temperature in taskbar I use Aida32 (ex Everest) http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Sys ... AIDA.shtml" So I couldn't find it for sure. That seems to be a new feature of the current, commercial Aida 64. Thanks a lot for your help! :cheers: B...

Hi, first of all, I`d be blown away by a *really* powerfull and still quiet Atari ST PC. The ones I got are both Atoms. Which is *very* nice, but not to strong, either ;) Full HD Video is ok, but new Games are rather not. As far as i remember, the 1040's ST main board just sat beneeth the keyboard a...

I found that AMD 6770 from MSI and PowerColor are only one that will fit in megafile case ( or ST case presumably ) :/ Hi! Rather not, I should think. The card and the board will probably collide with the keyboard, there. The space is really quite constricted. Even I had a headache or two. And I ju...

Hi Calimero, (hi again thread)

nice mod!

Just where did you get the 90° raiser card / extension between AMD grafix card and main board?

And which tool do you use to display cpu/gpu temperatures in the task bar?

Thanks!!
AxelG

Hi! @Bit, @Fred: This whole fred is about a proven, simple and working ST keyboard conversion (hence an ST PC conversion follows), using just Joskas fast and simple micro controller (Arduino/Teensy) adapter. :coffe: :lol: Fast, cheap and working. And much less work than any wire based solution. Just...

You call this "summer"?



We did have constant rain and 13...14 degrees. Third week in a row.

I just happen to find some cool stuff online. Take a look: http://svenart.de/gallery/atari_st2.jpg http://www.newtek.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119154 http://www.newtek.com/forums/showthread.php?s=e64b5a53a21e8fe1103cb98a56a76586&t=110413 Have fun, AxelG @Joska: Any new Teensy Sketch? ;)

Cool!

I`d paint the bottom, too. If I`d paint at all

How did you remove the Atari badge? Damage free, that is.

Jup.

It works like a charm right now. I already played Cube (simple and straight forward GPL shooter) with my classic Atari VCS jostick. Connected to the ST`s joystick port 1.

*sigh*

Thanks, Joska. More on this tomorrow

Congrats ;) @Joska: Hi Joska, I tried to compile, but it failed;) Teensy Loader started. Arduino IDE started. ST_tastatur_USB loaded. Verify button klicked: HardwareSerial ST_kbd = HardwareSerial(); "ST_tastatur_USB:7: error: no matching function for call to 'HardwareSerial::HardwareSerial()' D...

Hi Joska, my two Teensy 2.0 and a single 2.0++ from PJRC just arrived. ;) I went ahead and simply copied your wiring. Hex file uploading with the Teensy Loader also works. So the only thing I`m missing is your current USB sketch and hex file. Then I`d like to testdrive the joystick code a bit. Thank...

It's the Teensy 2.0, I buy them from PJRC.com. The Teensy 2.0++ can also be used but it's slightly bigger and a little bit more expensive. You would need it if you want to convert a Stacy keyboard, because you'll need the extra pins when you connect it to the keyboard matrix. So I finally came to b...

Cool.

What I really like about this is, you Joska (and to a slightly lesser degree we all) open new doors. New possibilities.

Have you had time to check the joystick?


-> Which Teensy did you use for my adapter(s) and where can I buy them best?
