I made my way in the bar to see the recital. I stopped and told the bartender his doorman had walked off the job.
“What doorman?” the bartender asked, puzzled. “We don’t have a doorman.”

Atari 2600 Hardware News U Can Use
Theta Frost posted:
Well this surprised me! The Longhorn Engineer has plans to sell PCB’s and kits I believe of a new 2600 motherboard! We still get the original TIA and its lovely sounds, with built in video mods (S-Video), controls and a nice screen. This will also alleviate the problems with faulty capacitors and such that have driven me crazy! My only worry is the quality of it’s audio amp… I’m certainly excited to use this with music though! (it probably won’t be compatible with Synthcart however because of it’s limited controls)

Also the freaking Harmony Cart is out!!! This one totally surprised me! Basically it’s a nice 2600 flash cartridge with a built in SD card slot that supports SD and SDHC and USB built in. It support just about all of the 2600 library. I’m fairly certain it covers ALL titles regardless of their specific cartridge designs and such. The real kicker, it’s only a whopping $60! Awesome!

So these are two great developments for Atari 2600 music!

NTRQ V1.3 updated
V1.3 – April 29th 2010
———————-Added pitch fix for PAL version. All future releases will include a PAL version of the ROM (ntrq_PAL.nes) and an NTSC version (ntrq_NTSC.nes). Rename the version you want to use as “ntrq.nes” or you might find you can’t load your .sav files (emulators look for a .sav file that matches the ROM file name, generally).
V1.2 – April 29th 2010
———————–
– Fixed bug where pausing and song and restarting it would cause the song to play incorrectly if you were using a chain of speed settings in the Speed Table
– Made some changes to the priority system used for screen updating to hopefully kill that long-standing screen glitch bug.
– Fixed bug where setting $40 as an aux parameter in an instrument would produce an extreme vibrato effect.
– Added highlighting to Pattern grid. Every 4 steps the grid changes from light to dark grey as a visual aid. I’ll perhaps put in some way of configuring this display. Want to make sure it’s not causing any screen glitches first though.
