News

Most of you waited for more news about the forum. Sorry, it's still down but it should be back very soon! We have found a new host and the upload is on the way.
This week-end we put another rare game as we promised it. This is another french game (we have a bunch of them) and it was published by Carraz Editions. This time, the Atari Legend team provides Roman Policier which let create your own stories like a thriller writer. Funny concept for every kind of public. This is one of the rare stuffs made by Carraz which isn't an educational game. Already a big thank you to the fine people of Carraz for making this possible!

Go there and download Roman Policier. Also more Carraz games will be available very soon ;-)

Hi,

Phantom has beaten my previous 220 sprites record with 222. (To be honest, the sprites are a bit close together, witch make the clearing easyer, so I don't think he can display 220 of them with my curve).

Anyway congratulations to him, it's not an easy task to display more than 220 sprites.

As I promise, I'll give you the password for my actual *secret* record. I'll post the password the 15, november. So if any coder re working on the record they have time to publish their demo before I release the password.

Of course you can still try to crack the password till the 15 november ! :-)

We have set up a temporary mini Atari Forum until the real thing gets back up again.

http://atarilegend.com/pbpBB/

We inaugurate here a new feature of the site: the game of the week-end. This feature will offer you a rare game each Saturday. This game may be a disk found in an old box, or a game newly cracked by us. In both cases it has never been spread before.

And guess what? The first game we offer now is a Loriciel title. It's not a new crack, but a new patched version of Quasar. The disk previously worked on french TOS only. Our best cracker Klapauzius has managed to remove the bug, translated into the english language and has also trained it. It's probably not a big game (it goes back to 1986) but it was a shame non-french-TOS users couldn't play with it.

So go to the Quasar page to get the Atari Legend version! French users won't miss the Troll & co. version, that works on french TOS only.

While the forum is down, we got this message from Phantom :

Hi ! I can't wait for the forum to come back...
Here are 4 of my attempts for the sprite contest :

1 - 162 (250 balls with a cheating method - already published on forum but with a loading bug corrected) - SainT v1.80 seems not to boot it ?!
2 - 162a (216 balls with leonard curve) - no boot protection for SainT user - screenshot
3 - 162b (220 balls - record is equalized) - no boot protection for SainT user
4 - 162c (222 balls- record is broken) - no boot protection for SainT user

Thanks,
Phantom

Leonard, the current author of SainT, is just coming to send an e-mail about the new version of his emulator. According to the beta version he sent some days ago, the program now offers better quality with digisounds. Take an ear to the digi screen from the Cuddly Demos, it deserves a listening.

Here are the changes:

1.80
* New powerfull digit-sound volume register caching technic. No more noise in Digi-Sound !
SainT sounds better than ever ! ( Thanks to Paulo Simoes for nice talks and ideas )
* Adding STEREO sound support ! ( for STE stereo sound )
* Powerfull and "no click" 0 dc sound adjuster

* 68000 Prefetching mechanism re-written to support more protection code ( sprite record by Phantom )
* Re-written disk controller stuff from Assembler to C++ for future extension ( Pasti )

Good news! SainT v1.80 is available on Leonard Homepage.
