RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 04-11-2024
I might be seeing Wayne this summer. I'll ask if he still has it (I doubt it). I like all the emulators and being able to bring back that nostalgia for a brief moment, but the one I keep gravitating to again and again is Stella...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 04-12-2024
Very cool, I hope my memory was right and it was him. And he still has it...
There's something to be said about emulation. When I was able to do homework on the ST that was emulating a PC that saved me from having to live at the computer lab...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 04-13-2024
I almost forgot that it had a PC emulator. So of course I had to try it again - and I remember the headache trying to get a disk to boot and the emulator brought back that repressed memory. I still couldn't get it to boot a DOS floppy and I tried a bunch...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 04-16-2024
My task to get it booted was probably a little easier. I was just taking some developer classes and just needed to boot into DOS. From there it was a bunch of editing source code then compiling and testing. Though (I seem to remember) the Modula-2 course used an IDE, but I don't seem to remember that being overly difficult to get running.
Now here's something that I found that's interesting...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 04-16-2024
I think playing with PC-DOS on the ST was more of a novelty. When I did get it to work I managed to run a few games, but it was a bit sluggish if I remember correctly. But that find of yours is awesome. Way to bring back the early 90's. I have to see if I can find my ST disks and any of my Calamus work I did...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 04-17-2024
How did I know that you would be trying it under Linux. And I am not at all surprised that it runs well on that platform...
One of FTLs other games was another favorite of mine as well.
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 04-17-2024
It played perfectly on my system. The only thing I haven't figured out is the volume control because it's a lot louder than I'd like it to be. But for some reason I could have sworn FTL had more games than that. That reminded of a game called FTL that I've played...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 04-18-2024
Maybe using external speakers with volume control would help?
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 04-18-2024
I do, but adjusting the volume for the ST means I don't hear any system sounds or anything playing on the music player...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 04-24-2024
I remember having a little Casio attached to the ST's MIDI, that was pretty cool at times...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 04-24-2024
I remember that little keyboard and always playing the Peanuts theme song on it...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 04-25-2024
If I remember there were some games that did utilize the MIDI ports, but for the most part I was having fun with MIDI files and that little keyboard...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 04-25-2024
I was a bit surprised to see that MIDI is still alive and kicking today. And just recently they introduced a 2.0 standard for it. I kind of wish I was more musically inclined because there's a lot of tech that seems cool...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 04-29-2024
Taking into consideration the advancement of everything else, I am surprised as well. But I guess if you design something that then becomes the standard, it's easier to modify that into a new version and keep the hardware the same...
RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 04-29-2024
I think MIDI was one of those things that was way ahead of its time but didn't end up like other things way ahead of their time. It's a simple protocol and having a few collaborators define the specs because they all felt that there needed to be a standard so that all manufacturers could grow. I wish all tech companies behaved this way but nooooooooo...
