Hey all, I am using the Stemulator (Gold) since ages and it ran perfect until Windows 7. Now with Windows 10 I can not get the Windows GDI modes working. The STemualator freezes or something. I tried the compatibility modes of Windows 10 for use with the STemulator but without success. All other mod...

Not yet sure what you ask about exactly. The most useable video modes on the Atari TT are "TT mid res" (640 * 480 in 16 colors) and "TT high res" (1280 * 960 in monochrome). Certain OS extensions are normally familar with different video modes and are not limited to ST high res.

Nice Video. Can watch old stories about classic computers all day!

Damn, Calamus was so ahead of its time. I bought Calamus 1.09N, Calamus SL 6/93, Calamus 95 and Calamus 2003 R3. I rarely used the last one, even if Calamus in the STemulator was also clever thing.

Yes, of course. Just email me.

The numbers I have still in mind were around 14.000 untits of the Falcon030 sold in Europe.

Most Atari ST software has issues with third-party OS extensions in some way.

I sent a message to Christian for this task. Hope we'll get a response soon.

Ah yes, I think we used the joystick port one.

Well, I only made the software while Christian Hellmuth modified the start/finish part of the track to recognize the signals. So he should know best how it is supposed to work.

I can not imagine what causes that much problems. I remember there was one cable of the joystick port that had to be connected with one of two others dependend on which joystick direction signal should be told. Impossible to wreck it that way?! I made a slot car software myself some time ago. We gav...

You are a musician?! May I have missed your Bee-House-Rock or something?!

Oh no!

mh O.o

It is working now. I think it has something to do with the Android 5 mounting the SD card write protected for an unknown reason. Copying the Atari files to the internal storage made it working.

The emulator is working, but even if I turn off all write protections in the settings menu the emulator is not able to write to my gemdos drive. What am I doing wrong?

I often have a look into your YouTube videos to see the progress on your project, but new videos are very rare, unfortunately.

Yes, the esc codes are mentioned in the manual as well. Some of them I used often.

Nice work!

Great, thanks!

I did try to use A to F in addition and yes, the colors go on changing but only begin to repeat instead of giving the missing ones.

You want GEM applications. Understood. Clean not necessary means to be useful. Or as a programming book for the Atari once mentioned with a chapter (but in german): "GEM graphics - extremly sleepy". Maybe people want programs in GEM even if they feel slow and sleepy?! Maybe they did not wa...

Hello :) In the Omikron.Basic manual I found the ESC sequence ESC+b x" to change the text color of the print command, where x is the number of the color. For couriosity I can not get some colors because I can only use the numbers 0 to 9. So black, dark green and some others are missing. How do ...

"The existence of clean GEM applications"

There is no "clean" GEM. There is only GEM. "Clean" in terms of GEM only exists in the imagination of certain people. Most of them never wrote a program themself.

By thinking GEM has something to do with "clean" you miss the point. We are in the Atari world. And this world was very different to Apples world. Where Apple made very strict rules for programmers, Atari made nothing. I personally think that the imagination of the graphic environment has ...
