If this is the case i guess colors are changed into the borders which means palette is stable for the whole line at the opposite of spectrum 512 or similar approach ? Am i right ?

Correct.

Nice! Thanks for this little present.

Ok, thanks.

I think sticking with an FTDI device is the best choice here especially in respect to the supported baud rates.

It is actually not difficult to implement a Falcon keyboard on that Mac. You need an FTDI USB<->TTL serial adapter. Set the FTDI's baud rate to 7812.5 baud (divisor 384, subdivisor 0) and connect it to the Tx/Rx pins on the Falcon keyboard connector. Now you can start pushing keyboard/mouse events ...

Thanks for the info. I've got into some troubles as well with the x86 based DSP assembler I am using for my Falcon projects. Will check out tomorrow how far I'll get.

Well, I think I need to get back on track again with my ideas and projects. So many things which are not even finished and I was pushed back by the Blitter hardware problems I was facing some weeks ago. :( However, this thread should return to the AGT discussion again. ;) I would like to add the AGT...

Great progress. Thanks for the detailed overview of the improvements.

Well, I think it would be kind of doable today. At least Galaga 88 is a good candidate to have a look at.

This came out as a working solution after spending some time to find a proper streaming configuration for cvlc: cvlc -vvv v4l2:///dev/video0 --v4l2-width 720 --v4l2-height 576 --v4l2-fps 50 --v4l2-chroma mjpg --sout '#std{access=http{mime=multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=--7b3cc56e5f51db803f790dad...

That USB capture card is the one I had my eyes on! And since I have a supervidel in my falcon I was gonna pipe the feed via vlc on a mac to another mac. It's really a nice device. Some update on the streaming attempt: I can now watch the live video using ffmpeg and cvlc with the following parameter...

Well, this is an interesting idea. I already have an Raspberry Pi 3 as a "remote development device" which is connected via an USB serial adapter to the Atari STE. The Atari machines are in the basement so it would be really nice to have full access from the upper floor. So I was curious and bought ...

Great news. Thanks to all people involved.

I have yet to try it though.

Thanks Doug for your ongoing work on this.

Looking forward to any new posts here.

This is not a typo, it is taken from the blitter faq section 3.j. Sorry, my bad. I shouldn’t assume anything without asking first. :D I was too focused on the „nop“ because that code part will not work as intended when it resides in the instruction cache. I remember that there’s a „tas“ version as ...

or.b #$80,BlitterMiscReg1.w .waitFinish\@ bset.b #7,BlitterMiscReg1.w Since you're starting the Blitter already with the "or" instruction you only need to check if the Blitter is still running by using "btst". Probably a typo? or.b #$80,BlitterMiscReg1.w .waitFinish\@ btst.b #7,BlitterMiscReg1.w

Good news! Thanks for your work!

However I think there has been a shift in the price of the OSSC to about £68 and I'd recommend that instead. (P.S. I've not bought from this vendor) Probably a good catch. However, you should be aware of this: https://videogameperfection.com/2019/04/19/about-bootleg-osscs/ I am not sure if the qual...

The second demo part of E605 ("overscan shaking earth") works.

More screenshots/videos incoming.

The screenshots have been taken from an old Samsung TV which is arguably not the best for judging the image quality. I'll have to check it on the newer TV later on. Maybe I'll do a video recording as well.

Here are two screenshots done in a hurry:

Nice Anima, I have been tempted by one of these rather than the expense of an OSSC. Do you have any screenshots? In fact, the OSSC was also on my wish list for the ultimate experience. The RetroTINK was interesting due to the optional blur effect mode and the compact design. Tests with different ad...

FYI: I've got hold of a RetroTINK 2X-SCART device today and I have to say that it works fine with my Atari STE. 8) retrotink.jpg Firmware version 1.2 a nice "blur effect" has been added which is quite nice for dithered graphics: Low-res YPbPr mode for mimicking pixel dithering effects.

Well, I'll second that!

Thanks for reporting.

I am still curious if I am the only one with the hardware issues. Most likely it's related to the CPU type I had. Anyway, I am happy that it's fixed now.

Here is a first test version for Blitter equipped Atari STs. It has no sample playing and the rasters have been disabled. I need some feedback from hardware users if it runs fine on their machines because I only tested the binary on Hatari so far.
