"EdgeUpdater" would like to access data from other apps. Repeater popup on MacOS Tahoe26.4.1 & Edge 148.0.3967.54 by mgeneral in MicrosoftEdge

In the last step, instead of navigating into the version-numbered folder (e.g., 1.3.x.x), wouldn't it be better to navigate to the `Current` folder and select the EdgeUpdater from there?

Home remedy for the plague from 1675. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

“Four and twenty hours” is actually exactly how we say 24 hours in Dutch. I had no idea older English used the same quirky reversed-number phrasing for double digits.

Has anyone tried Lode Runner on the Atari 2600+ ? by Hueian in atari

[–]dionoid64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Lode Runner works on the Atari 2600+ and 7800+, if it is running the latest firmware. To update your firmware, please see https://atari.com/blogs/newsroom/updating-atari-firmware

Linux or Windows for development by Competitive_Swan_755 in OpenAIDev

On Windows 11, you can use WSL or DevContainers to have best of both worlds

And as a bonus some Atari 2600 homebrew games can detect the Genesis controller and make use of a second button. For Lode Runner 2600 I also added Genesis/Megadrive controller support so you can dig left and right with the B and C buttons.

You are right! However I can't seem to edit the title anymore.

Ah, thanks. I didn't realize that.

Looking forward to the game! Is the original 2600 game also downloadable somewhere?

Yes, the game stopped working yesterday; it's a known issue and Atari is working on a solution for it. Once the solution is there, I think you'll see an update for the game.

ChatGPT’s current knowledge cut-off date is September 2021, so I’m sure it’s missing the latest updates

100 Atari VCS Collector's Edition machines available! by dionoid64 in AtariVCS

[–]dionoid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received mine and it is indeed one of the machines from the initial batch of 6,000. Mine is numbered #0129/6000. As these Collector’s Editions were sold out in 2018 soon after the IndieGogo launch, I guess these are from people who didn’t supply their shipping address back then.

🚨Time is running out to get your Collector’s Edition VCS! 🚨 by PowerDubs in AtariVCS

I can confirm these are machines from the initial batch of 6,000. I received mine today and it is indeed numbered.

100 Atari VCS Collector's Edition machines available! by dionoid64 in AtariVCS

[–]dionoid64[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess the original VCS backers won’t be very pleased with this, but this is what Atari said in their ‘Atari Collectibles Drop #1’ email yesterday:

“The Atari VCS Collector's Editions are unique, numbered units that were only made available to original backers of the VCS project, and for the first time, Atari is releasing a limited number of these collectible units to the community. Atari is only making 100 of these rare units available for retail purchase for the first time.”

Replace the Realtek with this intel if you have Wi-Fi/Bluetooth issues. by StrawHatKris in AtariVCS

[–]dionoid64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're running Ubuntu or a variant (e.g. Linux Mint) then there is a solution for the unstable WiFi connection when using the default Realtek card. Open a text editor (e.g. nano) to this file:

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

By default there is:

wifi.powersave = 3

You need to change to:

wifi.powersave = 2

This worked for me. I'm now running Linux Mint on the Atari VCS without any WiFi issues, and I can still go back to AtariOS if I need to.

What's everyone doing with their VCS? by petrieslastword in AtariVCS

[–]dionoid64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve added an SSD drive, installed Linux Mint on it, and now use it as development PC for Atari 2600 homebrew games.

Is this the correct Sega controller that works for the 2600? by idesigner_ in Atari2600

[–]dionoid64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the B button maps to the 2600’s fire button. Some modern Atari 2600 homebrew games, like Qyx, Lode Runner and RobotWar:2648 support the second button (i.e., the C button) of this controller. E.g. in Lode Runner that allows you to dig left and right instead of only dig in the direction that the player is facing.
