If it makes you feel better Pin, for the very same reason I put the map link directly in our atari.sk announcement: http://atari.sk/forever-2023-robot-uz-tento-tyzden/ ;-)

Oh man, I see that I have to update the rules as well. Those were written by -XI- to fit his machine; I'm pretty sure we don't have MD DOS anymore. :)

As for the hardware, we should have there a 600XL with U1MB, SIDE2, stereo etc, so pretty standard stuff.

I see that the note about (not) using G2F for example is a bit strongly worded as well. ;)

TL; DR version is: standard stuff, make sure it runs on real hardware. If in doubt, drop me a message to atari@zeroteam.sk and we'll check it out on our Atari.

Cześć chłopaki ;)

As I'm co-organizing this year's Forever edition, this post serves as a reminder for two things:

- there's a lot of people coming, feel free to join our Atari forces: http://forever.zeroteam.sk/visitors.php

- there's a lot (and I mean a LOT) of good / valuable prizes for each Atari compo - mostly "thanks" to Covid and the cancelled years, we literally have two boxes of prizes to give away so feel free to participate in any compo, there's literally 100% chance you'll get something. ;) (see http://forever.zeroteam.sk/info.php for rules)

Any questions, feel free to ask or write to to our atari email.

A guy on AA said that it's quite easy to build them by yourself (using through-hole components) so perhaps that's the route I'm going to take. Still, what a pity they are not produced anymore.

Hi guys,

an old thread but pretty fitting as there are no more U-Switches available in Lotharek's shop -- is there someone with 1-2 available? I'd like to use it for COVOX and XEGS jumper.

Zakładam, że parę osób się zdecyduje, dlatego proszę o niewielkie kwoty, bo jak się uzbiera za dużo, to nie będzie co z tym zrobić, nie kupimy przecież połowy kwiaciarni. Na szarfie postaramy się o napis typu "Dla -XI- od przyjaciół z Polski".

Jeśli coś zostanie, to przeznaczę na znicze na grób Jurgiego, którego odwiedzam parę razy w roku.

Actually, see http://www.atari.org.pl/forum/viewtopic … 78#p293578. You can send me all the collected funds + if anyone else feels like contributing even more, he can do it on my account.

I'll write LiSu & gang privately, too.

Hey guys,

after some discussion we have decided to create a small collection for Xi's family. Because you know, it doesn't make sense if every one of us brings flowers, it makes much more sense to buy just one decent funeral wreath and dedicate the rest of the money to the family to cover funeral expenses.

The plan is to write there some dedication like "From the Czech, Slovak and Polish Atari friends". Since it is all on very short notice, the plan is as follows:

- we buy a nice wreath, with all the bells and whistles
- you wire me any sum of money to XXX (EDITED, no longer needed)
- send an email to XXX how much did you send (as the bank transfer can take more than one day)
- I withdraw the sum claimed in the emails and make the donation to Xi's family on tomorrow's funeral

Of course this requires some trust on both sides but I think nobody is such an idiot to take an advantage of it. After all, many of us will be there in person so everyone will see giving them the money.

Aż brak słów. Mogłem go poznać gdzieś na przełomie wieków i wiążą się z tym same sympatyczne wspomnienia (jak to, że przy nim wydawało mi się, że rozumiem słowacki, aż uświadomiono mi, że on mówi po polsku).

This was one of his many entertaining stories, Xi loved to tell this one.

Hi guys,

with an incredibly heavy heart I have to announce that my long time friend, mentor, true Atari fan and amazing person in general passed away on 26.2.2022 after a lost fight with sudden and quick illness. :(

For those who didn't know him so well, I prepared an article for his memory: http://atari.sk/xi-satantronic-is-no-longer-with-us because he was really a huge figure in our small Atari world.

I was quite devastated when Radek Sterba (Raster) from the Czech Republic, similar key figure there, unexpectedly died a few years ago and I would have never imagined that Xi is going to be next. :(

Rest in peace my friend.

Cześć bracia,

in case you don't follow other forums so much: new versions of my software is available. zView 1.0.1 is mainly a bugfix release (same as BETA8 was) but mxPlay 2.1 comes with MPG123 plugin which is able to play MP1, MP2 and MP3 on CT60 / FireBee machines.

Enjoy and spread the word ;)

hi tebe,

please, while we're on subject, could you please explain the COL format? In polish docs I found:

COL - paleta kolorów dla każdej z linii ekranu (5 * 256 bajtów)

I understand what it says but I don't understand the logic behind this -- in g2f picture I have max of 30 logical (interruptible) lines with max of 9 colors (5 COLx regs, 4 players)... so I'm really stupid here since I can't get what the hell that 5*256 means ;-)

It's more than 8 years I coded something on 8bit so don't kill me if I ask for something really stupid ;-)

Dear sceners and friends of demoscene!

We are happy to announce you the official Easter Atari Demoparty 2006 called "Noise" which will held, very untraditionally, in Slovakia (Slovak Republic) !

Our goal is to finally join both 8bit- and ST/Falcon-scene in one big party and support each competition with decent prizes like in the past...

More information you can find at our website, http://noise.atari.org, where you can tell us your interest, opinions and where you can find some basic facts about the party itself.

The website will be regular updated, we're going to bring you information about each competition, party program, prizes for winners, travel maps etc...

So, stay tuned and tell us what do you think!

Your Noisy team.
