- A genuinely interesting set of BBs sites running in Atari 8bit equipment. What it was back in the 80s when you could reach out and connect to someone you were otherwise unlikely to meet.
- Apparently. If you can access the “god mode” on it, an atm/cash machine can be made to spit out money :-)
- Would totally kill if it was shipping for Christmas 2025. Any word on pricing ?
- Darkstar 12 days agoaround 180€ or 150UKP, which is quite good considering you get a full working keyboard and a supposedly rather powerful ARM SOCreply
- boofar 11 days agoYeah, I was hoping for a Christmas treat, too. I'm usually not very interested in these emulator machines but I think I'll get this one. Having the right keyboard layout will (hopefully) make usage smoother compared to emulation on a PC.reply
- Apologies if this isn’t on point for 2SB. I was sucked in by the retro pixel art.
- Does this mean that the the only mass storage is USB? Asking for a friend.
- Only? Apart from "Plug in dusty old cartridges, CRT TVs, datasettes, or disk drives - it all works" and "128MB DDR2 RAM (16 MB system, 16 MB REU, 16 MB GeoRAM (soon), remaining MB RAM Disk)" where I assume the RAM disk fits into the "Wi-Fi game transfer" as a destination but that is just a guess from my side.
Or usb.
- All those are true. I don’t really know what I thought. USB is going to be faster than anything the device had.
in my head. I had a mental lapse thinking it might have sata support which is a fever dream of epic fail.
I think fujinet is still a work in progress.
Regardless. This is going to make so many happy. I hold out for rm800xl but that appears to be a true science fiction fantasy
- I for one welcome this. Finally something not a retread of 2600 or 7800. The genxgrownup review was favourable. The controllers are something. Wireless in same form factor and can take the keypad cards from days of old. That’s quite amazing to me.
- Not enough TI99 posts on 2SB. Just a machine I dont know enough about. I just didnt travel in circles where it was available in Canada where I grew up. Projects like this are really, really interesting. repurposing a machine from another era to do something else.
- Those are an amazing find of photos from the NEXT era.
I know this era is gone - neo modern box building on a sprawling campus creating a life changing technology that the world doesn’t yet know it needs. Todays developers and engineeers rebel like they are being caged like an animal to be in such an evironment.
- I had posted the moonlander.bas from this collection not realizing it was part of a larger collection. I am glad my other post took a tumbleweed through 2SB in light of this larger trove.
Like text adventures - these codes were super simple and you had to use your imagination to see beyond. Never quite knowing what the next key press would bring from the blackness. What that trick the blinking cursor might bring forth to my 8 year old mind.
- I was surprised this wasn't a VS code extension like Stella is for the 2600. Still nice to see a tool that can do things for the Jaguar.
