MouseBoot by Scott R. Lemmon

I tried to track down the author of MouseBoot to obtain the source code. Its similar to XBoot but free as he gave me permission to distribute the registered version sometime ago. In doing so I discovered that Scott R. Lemmon passed away in 2004 at the age of 36.

Scott was a really nice guy. Somewhat sad day for me. :-(

Scott went on to write Proxomitron for the pc.

Atari clone news

I have upload my patched XControl to my site. Solves the random crashes related to the cpu caches. Never liked that clone application called Cops.

Also uploaded an updated ATI Mach64 (PCI) driver. It was never 040/060 friendly either. One can now boot at full speed with the caches enabled.

GFA Status

An update to the library is coming, as a few more bugs were found and squashed. A new interpreter is also in the works that is synchronized with the new library. That means all the changes that were done to the library were also done to the interpreter.

The documentation needs to be updated yet.

When this is completed, all components of GBE will finally be handled by me. I will not have to rely on anyone else.

A time to celebrate

MagiC celebrates a decade of no development. Nada, zilch, zippo, lol
The last known version is copyright 2000.

MiNT rules!

Almost

Another ad shows a homeless man curled up in a ball on a pile of rags. One ratty bed sheet shields him from the cold. The narrator says, "This is Jack Thomas. Today someone almost brought Jack something to eat. Someone almost brought him to a shelter. And someone else almost brought him a warm blanket." After a brief pause, the narrator continues: "And Jack Thomas? Well, he almost made it through the night."

You almost had me convinced.

That's gay

You know those TV commercials that tell you that its bad to refer to something as gay if you don't like it?

Those commercials are so gay.

Frank Naumann

Frank Naumann passed away on the 12th of March, 2010 at the age of 34. Very sad news. My heart goes out to his family. He will be missed in the Atari community.

GFA-Basic Library update in the works

A few more bugs squashed. This update will also contain a new run only interpreter for GBE.

Coming soon...
