maemo.org - Talk - Stella

Haha Addison you've gotta way with words! :D

Gee I never played H.E.R.O. I'll have to check it out. My favorites are similar. I loved River Raid, probably the one I played the most. I also liked Pitfall, Demon Attack, Atlantis, and Defender. I've got so many I can't remember them all.

I just tried Atlantis and Defender and oh my my what mindless fun. Looks like I'll be taking a 10 minute Atari break at noon every day to relieve some of that daily work stress! :)

Hey guys, I'm over 30!!

My all time faves were enduro, river raid, pacman, space invaders and pitfall.

By the way, stella is running fine! I've been doing some "intensive" testing and so far no problems! I'll just have to get used to the N810 keyboard.

Great job ArnimS!

:)

So what was everyone's favorite games back in the day?

Hopefully, Pushwall and me aren't the only dust farting turds around here that was alive back then. :(

For me, I'll have to say it was H.E.R.O., Pitfall, Demon Attack, and River Raid.

I was a big fan of Venture and River Raid, Pitfall was another one I loved. Star Raiders was great, but I dont think it would work well in the N800 emulator (not enough keys)

The Atari Flashback 2.0 is a big hit in my house as well as my original 7800 system still ticking over..

Many thanks Arnim! I played a number of different games like the original Asteroids, Space Invaders, and Pac Man. Wow, I'm rusty after close to 30 years of not playing. :D

If you're interested in SDL programming, sdl.org has good references and sample programs you can compile on linux and windows. To get started with maemo in general, look to maemo.org for howtos. To get a pre-made development environment, search for "maemo vmware appliance".

For ppl really starting from scratch, i'd suggest first learning to compile already written programs on linux, Then sit down with something like Sam's "learning C in 21 days". Then find a simple, small program that interests you and start looking into the source to see how it works, make small changes, and go from there.

(edit) some good sdl game tutorials
http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/

I am such a n00b. this is good advice methinks. The reason i started looking through this thread was because i have just got an n900 and i want an Atari 800 XL emulator with all the games that i had when i was a kid! I remember typing out the basic programs from the programming manual for hours! hehehehe, syntax error....

Re: Stella - Atari port

Many thanks :)
works very well on N900.. GUI is a bit fiddly with the buttons at the bottom, but still very usable :)
The controls are up vol for start.
space to fire, arrows as control.

Thanks again! :D :D

Re: Stella - Atari port

Wow. This works! Awesome. Thank you so much for the N900 port

EDIT: I spoke too soon. It starts and starts a game, but the keyboard does not work. All I can do is CTRL-Q to quit the app or BACKSPACE which seems to crash the app entirely. Will the other ATARI800 port load 2600 ROMS? I can't get that to work either. It just crashes.
I am running all these under Kernel-Power 53, and no overclocking
