nieuzbrojony umysl latwo myli te zjawiska, mimo, ze zadne z nich tu nie zachodzi :-)

element folkloru, element tradycji, fanatyk .... co za postac :-)

vox populi, vox dei.

uwazaj z kim tanczysz :D

Offtopic.  Ten błąd w U1Mb tkwi w firmware czy źle zaprojektowanej płytce ?  Bo niezrozumiałe dla mnie jest to też, że nie poprawiono tego. Wymaga zbyt dużego nakładu pracy ?

Not worth bothering with for the sake of one piece of software which only has an issue because of a pointless contrivance.

Prawo twórcy do stworzenia danego produktu, który nie działa na czymś tam off-stock, czy to robi celowo czy nie, jest jego prawem i nie ma tu dyskusji. To samo prawo oczywiście dotyczy twórcy firmware do U1MB, czy samego urządzenia. Szkoda jednak, że dotyka to też innych osób i że oba te produkty są na takich fundamentach sprzedawane komercyjne z pełną świadomością ich "wad".

Oni się tu "biją" a wiele z niewciągniętych w to osób, po prostu chce zagrać w GW, czy korzystać z dobrodziejstw U1MB. Grę jak będzie kupię - natrętne zbieractwo nowych produkcji na Atari mi tak nakazuje. Mam 10 atarynek, w tym 3 gołe, więc dla mnie to nie problem wyciągnąć na stół taką, z którą to zadziała. Szkoda tylko, że przez "wojenki", ucierpi na tym inny odbiorca (posiadacz jedynie modelu z U1MB), który za nic ma przepychanki, a chce po prostu jak ja sobie w to zagrać na real HW.

Wyłączyć, czyli wyjąć na chwilkę z komputera po to, by zagrać. To dobry pomysł.

Moje dziecko "męczy" właśnie Pana Tadeusza....  a ja też mam w lodówce tę samą lekturę.. ale nie  będę się z nią męczył, o nie! Będę się delektował :-)

Simple question for you: which is easier? Distributing a JED file and asking every U1MB owner to purchase a Xilinx platform cable, download the Lab Tools software, make a suitable patch cable for the 2mm JTAG header, and flash the CPLD of their U1MB, or XXL changing his damn game?

I'm afraid I consider it a dick move to advocate the former solution when distributing actively maintained software. Not that XXL would say he advocates either solution, since it's clear to me that he is NOT LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION. He enjoys the problem too much.

Let's wait for the game to be released ;>

I think Candle acknowledged the 'behaviour' of the hardware. You'll have to ask him why he didn't fix it in new devices. Wild guess? XXL's attitude has been so fucking obnoxious that the chance for a fix has been blown.

Already done, AFAIK, by Candle. XXL admits no issue, however, with his own stuff, so has not even broached that first step.

If you think it's fair to deliberately exploit a quirk of U1MB for no practical reason other than to make your software crash on the machine, I don't know what to say. I simply do not know what point is being made here, other than an ideological objection to a certain vendor or designer.

Certainly I can't understand why one would not fix a bug unless the well had already been poisoned by politics, which I think is what happened here.

Note that the U1MB CPLD side of things has nothing to do with me. I consider exploitation of the issue to be incredibly childish, however.

Possible. All I know of XXL's personality is what he projects on forums. In my experience, anyone who will go to these lengths will be hard to appease. It is not without precedent, either. He advocates illegal OS entry points, seems to consider 'NEWDEV' an aftermarket invention, and has an ethical objection to 16-bit CPUs. I would personally not be prepared to pander to someone with such complex needs. :)

I've been confronted on the Forum with Lotharek and Candle and I found them reacting quite aggressively to any criticism of their products, and acting like they were the smartest and greatest people on the World, and everyone should love and adore them, and be thankful for their products. On the other hand, XXL's replies, in general, seem to be more calm and cultural.

This is called purism, I understand and respect that. This is retro stuff. The hardware is what it was back in the '80s. We can, and should, explore its abilities in software, but keep the hardware in its original form. If you like 16-bit CPUs, go for Atari ST or Amiga, or even RAPIDUS, but don't call RAPIDUS an Atari XE. It has nothing to do with Atari XE, except it uses its case, keyboard, and a (modified) system software. It can do things that real XE system could never do. It is really great, but it is no longer an Atari XE.
