RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 01-31-2018 Hmmm, you may be on to something. The opener can play all of the great songs that are skipped by the main act. Brilliant! RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 02-01-2018 I've heard that vinyl is making a comeback... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 02-01-2018 It is making a comeback, besides buying new releases in MP3 and CD, you can get them in vinyl now too... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 02-01-2018 When they start offering 8-tracks again is when I'll be really impressed... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 02-02-2018 Then there was the time that the Cap'n had an 8-track recorder and made copies of some new releases for grins and giggles to show people at parties... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 02-02-2018 I might have "missed" that party. And by "missed" I mean I don't remember due to consuming mass quantities... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 02-05-2018 My impression of him is that they both have the same problem when you add alcohol... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 02-06-2018 I think this has gotten slightly derailed... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 02-06-2018 I always wanted to get a train crossing for the AFX slot cars that I had... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 02-07-2018 I picked up some train stuff last year. Now I just need to find some AFX track... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 02-07-2018 Then time to re-purpose one of these to control the trains *and* cars? RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 02-08-2018 I wonder if I still have the schematic for that somewhere. I'll probably need to retrofit it for the *slut* cars though... RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 02-09-2018 (I'm guessing that my post yesterday failed...) It's too bad we didn't have a resource back then like we have today. And all of the cheap micro-controllers. While you could easily do it with an Arduino (or one of the many others), it's cheaper to just build it with basic components... (Gaaaah, I can't get the images in the correct order this time. You'll need to visualize the top one at the bottom and visa versa...) RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 02-10-2018 Since the joystick was an in/out IO port, you got either 0 or +5v I believe. That was connected directly to the 6520 PIA chip. The paddle controllers on the other hand look like they're input only (essential an analog to digital converter) and are controlled through POKEY. What was interesting is that the XL's only had the two joystick ports because they used the other two ports as a memory driver. "Hey guys, how should we handle this extra RAM? Ooo! Ooo! I know. We'll repurpose two of the joystick ports. Dude, that's genius." RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 02-13-2018 Back then, most developers were pretty much geniuses, it takes a lot to shoehorn some of the games into what memory was available... |
