I hope someone were to actually make a retail run of the panther.

"The Canon BJ-10 is a printer that was first released in 1987. It uses bubble jet printing technology, which allows for high-quality and precise printing. The printer is compact and lightweight, making it portable and convenient for users who need to print on the go." It could be used on Atari ST set in Epsom LQ mode with a couple of flicks of micro switches. I had one on my Atari but it got stolen so I replaced it with an Canon BJ 200-EX which allows bulk paper insertion. Personally I prefered the BJ-10ex which I lost as it was more portable (being laptop shaped).

Hello, I have an English gramophone, I put a Chinese cartridge needle, the sound is thin, the Chinese cartridge is ceramic, the magnet cartridge is much better.

Hi Rees - nice video - I was wondering what is that thing you have in screen that is raining green digital dots like the matrix ? Its cool and I wanna buy one !

Silicon heaven! That's where all the calculators go!

No mention that the sound effects in Copysoft's Skunny Kart are also copied? I'd recognize that Bugs Bunny "Abacadabra" from the wizard's hat invisibility powerup anywhere... which suggests that the "Hocus Pocus" from the genie's lamp invincibility powerup is also Bugs Bunny from the same cartoon, that the "Whatsup" from the purple "shrink all opponents" bottle is probably one of the times Bugs Bunny said it with his mouth full of carrot, with the "Doc?" clipped off, and that the Bart Simpson "Aww, man!" from being hit by a missile and the Terminator "I'll Be Back" from the red "shrink yourself" bottle aren't impersonators. (I don't recognise the rest of the audio samples.)

My game screen is shifted to the right and I have no idea why. Also, I get error code 3 whenever i try to calibrate the screen. Any ideas?

Great video. I have a question: providing I do not connect an external MIDI device to the gameport, will I still experience the dreaded hanging note bug with a Sound Blaster 16 or Roland SC-55 sound card? If yes, can the PC-MIDI ISA MPU Card help me overcome this issue and does it come with full instructions?

Does this work on the 1.6 version?

I'd love to make this but I don't have much experience working with gerber files to have PCBs made up. Which of the 11 files in the zip should I upload to a PCB fabricator to have the board made?

will you think about reviewing some single board retro arcade emulator handheld? like the R36S?

I've had the exact same issues with serial cables, db-9 to db-9 doesn't mean all the pins are connected. just the rx and tx.

I own 3 ST's, two 1040's and my original 520 stfm I saved for years to buy. They all have TOS 1.0. the ICD bootloader puts TOS 1.04 in RAM for my hard drive support.

No cpu upgrade?

Ohhh no. You aren't going to convince me not to buy the new OSSC Pro when it's released. Don't even bother.

Definitely doing this on mine. Massive respect for pronouncing "solder" correctly 😜

I backed the indigogo campaign. Pretty jealous of that low number collectors. Mine is 3700. I haven't used it in ages but it does look nice on my console shelf.

I just want to let you know that I refused to learn anything from this video

Fantastic, thank you. I hadn't been following the OSSC developments, so this came as a very pleasant surprise. Time to get out the soldering iron! :)

Well done sir!

Thanks for doing this Rees been waiting for a video for ages on this upgrade 🥂

your recommended videos list is identical to mine i forgot i was watching this in fullscreen for a moment haahahhahaah

Oh, I didn't know there was a hack for the old OSSC. I only use it with my 486, but it would be nice to upgrade it to the new firmware.

All these patent lawsuits just slowed the development and harmed the consumer. The exact opposite, of the mandate, of the US patent system.

Hey, Rees! I was motivated by the video and I will have a game submitted. I followed your info and got into jagstudio. Lot's of learning with the AtariAge community helping me along. The JagStudio and Raptor guys feel elbowed out of jagjam. Can you share some love their way? Many thanks for your videos.

The problem with the lines on the screen would be down to the Hz rate. if the device is not able to go as fast as the recording device cam it will band the screen, then downgrade the recording hz rate will solve the problem

A British person who pronounces the letter H correctly ... That's the real miracle in the video. Usually people say heych

So, there are many things that contributed to the downfall of Commodore computer, too. Chief among them was the Cadtrak lawsuit. I can't recall where I read this, but when Cadtrak went after Apple, and they agreed to settle, one of the terms of the settlement was: you go after Commodore next. I will never forgive Apple for that. Yes, I'm aware it's business. I'm aware of the litany of excuses and justifications, thank you. I'm even writing this on a MacBook; but I will never forgive them.

As a Voodoo2 owner, it SHOULD theoretically be possible to go into the 3Dfx control panel, and alter what the card outputs in terms of refresh rates. Also, I wish I didn't have to choose between analogue output (as I have a very nice Compaq MV920 that can go up to a staggering 1920x1440p60), and composite/s-video input.

Good stuff Rees! I'm certainly going to be doing this to my OSSC. Thanks for the clear and helpful info!

Hello to you too!

FAQs: The hardware mod is not required on the new OSSC 1.8, just install the new firmware. This mod and firmware are compatible with all OSSC versions including the original DVI 1.5 board (with audio mod). Pin 25 of the TVP7002 does not need to be lifted as is sometimes advised elsewhere. The mod is fully reversible and officially endorsed, but may void your warranty if you have one. Unfortunately I can’t offer modding services, but thanks for thinking of me. :)

Let's deep dive in the feeling about the objective fact that modern videogames are not fun anymore and they basically sucks, and overrated so much. And this is the REAL fun, the classics, the origin of the feeling and it's so cool to play with. Yesterday I played with hard core gamers, a super long 4 player warlords game and everybody was crazy about that! We had TON of frantic fun. It's not just a nostalgia obsession.

steve was a liar and apple a thief....

you need fluuuuuux man :) If the solder is pulling off your board like an ice cream, you need more flux.

Would be interesting to test some of those custom VGA modes such as 320x480 or 360x240. These were sometimes called mode X. There were a few games that used them, such as Pinball Fantasies, IIRC.

In college, I used a $600 desktop publishing package for Mac called Quark Express. It was truly the future. It had all of the features of modern MS Word plus more and was easy to use. After I graduated, I purchased a high-end mac and a Laser Writer Pro. The printer still works while I sold the mac to a freind. The next round of macs had quality issues and I jumped to PC for several years. Several years ago, I went back to mac bc their video editing in iMovie and Final Cut was amazing AND also easy. Right now, the quality is good. (knock on wood.) My first comp was an 8-bit Atari. I loved it for many reasons including that it was so well built as to be nearly indestructible. C64 was cheaper, had more memory and more titles.. This became a circular issue for Atari sadly. Less units out there, means less developers make software and therefore fewer sell. It is sad. Somehow, when I moved, I tossed my 8 bit collectedtion, but the new home buyer kept it and just gave it to me. Id love to tinker, but am so busy now. Any suggestions are welcome. Id hate to toss it.

Nolan Bushnell left Atari in Nov 1978. Maybe that's when the CX model numbering system fell apart.

One resolution to test that has been "hard to capture" would be 1024x768 interlaced at 43.5Hz. This is an original IBM 8514/A output resolution that many 386/486 era SVGA cards support (ex: Cirrus Logic 542x series). A good test bed would be that 486 and Windows 3.1x. The original OSSC can't capture it at all and other solutions struggle with it as well. The only card I have that properly supports it is an Epiphan DVI2PCIe capture card.

its is a BOOTLEG PCB!!!

Superb job Rees! Thank you for doing all this and getting this video out.

I am very happy to hear about this. I've been using a couple of the original OSSCs as my scaler/HDMI converter for a few years. They do alright, remarkably good given it's not their core competency, but I'm really anxious for something that can lock on to the signal more quickly. The BIOS boot screen, and often the Windows loading screen, are both just lost in the dark. And sometimes it doesn't come back until I cycle inputs. Minor gripe considering how critical it is that ANYthing exists to do this, but would be nice to have that fixed.

You can pick up a used Extron 300A for 1/3 the price or less.

Nice converter. Had never heard of it. I use the RGBtoHDMI myself and am a great fan of it. Liked the video!

love to see your RM machine - always raised a nostalgic smile. Used them at school too :)

Will this work with Atari ST via ST2VGA for both mono and colour modes?

Hi Rees, Have you tried it with the original MDA card on the IBM PC? Hercules would be interesting too.

Hi, may I recommend to DOS fractal generator FractInt for testing? It supports a multitude of exotic video modes and video cards. Maybe it can help Markus trying out some obscure/exotic modes.

There's a tool included in the YAHDI image to force 24khz, in the TOOLS/SCAN31 folder. This is a tool normally used for forcing a machine running in 24khz to do 31khz, but you can also do the reverse. Run S24 in that folder. Most games run fine in 31khz but a few will run too fast or have minor glitches if you don't do 24. Not sure why 24khz wouldn't stick on power-up though, not a huge deal but it'd be nice. Also, I do appreciate your slightly more positive look on the Virge compared to others. That video of you going through all the Virge supported games is still excellent imo.

So glad to see it released after so many years that passed since the very first announcement of Pro. What I miss in this video is a test with some early pre-1994 VGA cards from the 1980s, like 8-bit-ISA Paradise VGA (quite popular at that time, as individual cards or onboard graphics devices), so far no scaler I tried handled them good entirely.
