The language seems to rely on indentation for grouped statements (obviously inspired by python). I consider that one of the biggest nonsense ever made, and reminds me of early versions of COBOL and FORTRAN... not something that i would call a modern programming language. And what is “modern” by you...

To see Z-desk finished or at least released as is.

And to see Falcon game based on DML Quake-like engine!

And also Metal Slug finished for STe

The only plague being spread is from that Atari Business is Fun book. This is absolutely the worst book on the subject that's ever been published. Do yourself a favor and immediately throw that book out or better yet burn it. Do your own research, which you already have started. Why would you say s...

Does anybody can ask Zorro to publish latest changes?

Today I discovered that the arcade game is based on two rounds... that is not the best case, players want more levels, not a second round :( I disagree with that. All the Makaimura games work around two rounds to be able to got a secret weapon to beat the (real) final boss. If peoples have the time...

Galaga 88 is pretty massive!
...playing Galaga 88 on Falcon it is already impressive (I just also played Galaga 88 on MAME/CoinOps/Xbox... - it is prefect on Falcon)

if STe could pool it...

btw
can you restore animated background in Cho Ren Sha? Or it is too much work/complicated...?

...at the end we will see Cho Ren Sha on STe...

Yes...! other similarity with Atari ST is that new Macs, with M1 chip, does not need an active cooling

I do not know if you saw new M1 chip from Apple. It is really innovative approach to computing :) Good article that explain M1: https://erik-engheim.medium.com/why-is-apples-m1-chip-so-fast-3262b158cba2 What I find interesting is that all component of M1 chip (CPU, GPU, DSP...) have linear access to...

Showing Jpegs and GIFs (downloaded from BBS) blazingly fast using DSP?

Not sure if this count, but people was amazed how fast JPG can be displayed back in the days...

I really like to read All those stories about how we all get in touch with Atari computers...

I wonder if Amigas Project X would be doable on AGT? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_QSqJJgsIZo E.g for parallax scrolling at the last two minutes of video there is some nice parallax scrolling with color changes and sky at different speeds... Beside, there is no parallax scroll in entire game but th...

What is “character maps”?

I also find laser very impressive over Parallax background!

Btw
on Amiga you need to use dual- playfields to achieve same effect? (Since background and foreground are overlapping, they are not just lines scrolled at different speed)

Yes, it's a pity that the Videl is still not emulated more properly in Hatari. Multiple viewports would not be emulated, neither would palette switching to achieve more colors, or splitting the screen in different bit depths, for instance 8bp in one part and TrueColor in another. There's not even a...

You are talking about 3.5mm audio out? Right? I read some of that stuff before but my impression is: - MP3 files, and general audio, from Falcon (without modification) sounds much better than audio from PC or Mac since Atari Falcon have boosted low frequencies at hardware level. This is my impressio...

An informative thread about an enhanced version of doom on Jaguar... https://atariage.com/forums/topic/295643-doom-slayer-edition/#comments Is there any “technical” talk about bits, speed and mips :) in thread? All that tech talk mumbo jumbo quickly becomes irrelevant once you begin actually implem...

Yes. The Falcon is probably even better at it, in some ways. The 68k can't run concurrently (much!) with BLiT commands while the 030 can. And with 8bpl you can do more effects of course. And you can run more complex game logic with the extra CPU cycles. ... Cyprian mention some interesting tidbits ...

Thanks mpattonm for suggestion. Just to be sure: I can connect that Visaton FRWS 5 SC - 8 Ohm speaker directly to audio cable on Falcon motherboard (as replacement for original speaker)? I will not damage/stress motherboard? Beside, I completely understand arguments that speaker is only "half os sto...

Is there any “technical” talk about bits, speed and mips in thread?

Nice!

Thank you for you time!!!

Most appreciate!!!

Hi, I would like to replace internal Atari Falcon speaker. (I believe that we already have samo topic on atari-forum.com but I can not find it it :( ) I would like to put best possible speaker inside Falcon. But I do not have any experience with full range speakers. I found this web store with dozen...

What browser(s) have you tried this with? I've only used the latest Firefox for my test searches.

I use: Safari 12.1.2 and
Chrome 86.0.4240.193

On mac os 10.14.6

I try it in another web browser, without being logged in, and it is the same (result is like screenshot in first post)

I did not change anything, just type: atari tt
in search bar and set Display result: Topic

... Then must be something with my user? I try to to click on reset. It is same. I simple can not get any result if I choose Display result: Topic ... ...and this is happening for years now; but I never bring this issue publicly. And yesterday I was really struggling to find some old topics so I dec...

Did you set Display result: Topic ? - this one does not work (screenshot from first post)

If you set Display result: Posts - it will work!
