The Falcon is going to leave the desk to free some more room for the Archies and the Q68.
Bit of an over-reaction?

I choose the Q68 to learn 68000, and this machine only.
At least people on the ql-forum showed enthusiasm and I already have a partner.

Note an even further enhanced port in 65536 colour screen mode could have reached your Atari Falcon too (it is a chunky mode, as are all Archie screen modes), but, unfortunately some morons-who-know-better-than-everybody decided for the entire Falcon community this project was too shitty for their great machine : viewtopic....
Most of the stupid comments and insults written by the Atari freaks have been removed by the moderators, but I have read them beforehand anyway.
I had some other projects in mind for the Falcon, to code along the Archie and RISC PC versions, they will never see the light of day (on the Falcon).

It's simple really..... people just cannot be told that they are wrong, and so those people just want to prove that they are right.
To prove in the endgame that they are correct and are therefore the greatest, greater than those that said they are wrong.
An ego thing. Nothing else.

Actually, even this can be worked around at no cost -- don't know if he was the first one to discover it but I saw a great trick by Patrice Mandin in his Street Figther demo/port - using the Videl horizontal setting registers to simulate the missing word.

Patric Mandin port/demo of Street Fighter for FALCON?
Where that can be downloaded?
(I see STe version but never version for Falcon)

I only watch that demo on YouTube. I will try it on my Falcon.
So Falcon can freely scroll entire screen per pixel i! truecolor? Nice
And you can copy around 2MB/s of data per second? It is something like 1/3 of screen at 50fps.
