You still need to understand assembly for reverse engineering. Very important to verify static analysis and dynamic analysis vulnerabilities in a binary.

Because it's a specialist skill and it's valuable to an employer. Basic programmers would be lost reverse engineering anything for example. Even mobile developers seem to lack low level skills these days.

All it takes is for an Amiga nutcase* to see this and we'll have endless videos of ST machines being trashed. It's an asshole thing to do to working vintage equipment.

*They're not all nutcases obviously!

What an assh0le.

Agreed.

Yeah. I was able to build it on my mac. There's a binary version in the archive for those that want to play with it. You just need to pull the repo with "git clone https://gitlab.com/AndreasK/AtariX"

Hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to move some files around to get my installation work. I have my installation as a ZIP on the link below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pct1uo7vc54ikz8/2.1_X4%20Upgrade-Training_Support%20CMM.ppt?dl=0 I think you've attached the wrong file ;) BTW Anyone had any luck getting NVDI to work with the ...

Would be great if magic for the ST also makes it!

Your login won't work on it. You will have to register for the site. The admins just run the same software on their servers.

LOL. What about issues 1-20?

I knew at least a couple of members of Access at the club.

It is possible. I never met DML in all the time I went there I met him years later. Hi Doug I also wrote the intro to the unreleased last issue of PB
I eventually released it 30 years later ! It's here https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/atari/last/ ... /index.htm

Yep. Kinning park club. Quite a few people used to kick about there. Some of the guys from Cynix on the ST and Access on the Amiga.

No Iain and Peter? :) Were they at the Barras? I don't recall those names, but my memory is getting as dodgy as the stuff that went on at the Barras. :) I'd never seen that PB disk mag either, strange that I never knew those guys considering the amount of time I spent hanging around at the Barras. ...

He's on here but I don't know how active he is.

Maybe a generic description of the location and what sort of market/meetings took place there mihgt be interesting to read. Maybe a fresh thread? That market was frequented by several Atari people. The PB disk mag team for one :) There's a name from the past. Are you still in touch with Agrajag (?)...

It's not strictly Atari related but I thought you guys might be interested in seeing this just for the nostalgia. :) I was clearing out some VHS tapes and found this old "Computer hardware crime" TV documentary shown here in 1996. The guys at the Barras market in Glasgow who were involved...

sorry for the post, i wasn't thinking straight. anyway, how would i implement a state machine in MSX basic? what commands would i need? I don't know basic. You'd need a function which returns a value and a calling routine above it with a switch statement or a load of ifs. You'd need a global which ...

I've written games in J2ME, 6502 assembler and C. I used a state machine for each. I had to make a fairly complex game front end navigable backwards and forwards on the GBA. It got unwieldy and I replaced it with a state machine. Much easier.

I'm sure it's possible. If not perhaps switch to another language

The language shouldn't matter. Just focus on the concepts. Writing a game without a state machine will result in a spaghetti mess. I can tell you that from experience

Thumbs up! Nice to see the STe kickin' ass

I have 1 520 STE, and 2 1040 STE. The 520 and the 1st 1040 were made in 1989, 1990. The 3rd machine, a 1040 STE, was made in 1991, and is the only one working correctly straight out of box with my ultrasatan. The difference hardware wise, is that the one from 1989 and 1990 have the beta motherboard...
