Atari 520STE TOS replacement

Hello! As an ex-Amigan, only last year I got a 520STE with scart cable, a Steinberg SMP2 and an IDE adapter which I haven't got around to installing yet, to start sequencing with Cubase. The first mod was to get 4mb ram inside which was easy, provided that I keep SIMMs around for old PCs. A recap is also planned as I hear some light buzzing. Now, this is a French keyboard model (AZERTY). If I get a US/UK TOS 2.06, will it work? I don't mind the keyboard/keycaps being like that, but will the keymap change? Thanks!

Is this normal ? My Atari 520ST is asking me for a boot disk? Is not having the TOS in ROM a good thing? Should I swap in TOS roms? Should I leave it as is and invest in external floppy to make system disk? Anyone else have this problem? v.redd.it/wxd5w5hi3i641

Polygon (MATIC coin) now has over $1 billion locked, daily added partnerships, and stealth used by Jack Dorsey, Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, AND 20+ new games onboard, Animoca and Atari building (and yet remains a 1/10th in marketcap compared to less productive crypto-projects...

Polygon is viewed as an "Ethereum L2" solution, but I don't think people are seeing the forest through the trees. Polygon is turning into a "go to" project for crypto projects that want to work fast and effectively now and forever. People look at independent blockchains, like Polkadot and Cardano, and assume there's some higher potential than an L2 for Ethereum, but real adoption is NOT supporting that narrative. It's becoming very clear that the future of crypto will be an L2 future. L2 is faster than L1, even the L1s on the horizon. We are moving quickly into an L2 world, and polygon looks remarkable in it's leadership in the emerging ecosystem.

I finished my stealth Atari ST disks today. It's a Pi 3b sandwiched in a pair of 3mm heatsinks running Rastari. All of the ports are hidden behind the shutters and the disk stack has a loose feel as it uses tiny magnets to hold it together. It works perfectly with my 8-bit joystick adapter too! :-) reddit.com/gallery/matvgp

Atari Casino Grand Opening event w a live set by Dillon Francis was a great sign of things to come

So if you happened to catch the event which just transpired, it lasted roughly 1 hour and 5 minutes. There were 1000+ players in a single parcel. The game was struggling to run, but once you loaded in, it was a great live DJ set and a glimpse at the near future and what's to come for DCL. If you think about how early we still are in the metaverse's life cycle and how many people were just at this event, it only makes sense that at least now some more people have been introduced to this world and the seed has been planted. I can't stop smiling thinking about the future of Decentraland and how it will be normal in the future to see hundreds or thousands of players in a single parcel. What are your guys thoughts on DCL and this event? Any predictions? Did you get lucky enough to claim a POAP or NFT sweater?

The Atari casino opening was trash and id like for you to prove me wrong

Gonna get this off my chest and move on with my day. That event last night was lazily produced and offered nothing more than what is in tominoya casino currently. Dillon did not play live, he never got on the mic and interacted with decentraland. I could find that mix on his soundcloud, he put zero effort into this and and the wearables were meh. its fucking sad that his pinata nft sold for 6eth lol. i understand we had more users online than ever but if users come and just experience corporate bullshit theyll be turned off forever. really curious if this is what amnesia is gonna bring.

welp, sorry for the negativity but fuck dillon francis and fuck atari.

keep following me for the best live dj streams in DCL lol. im opening my own club soon. peace out i love everyone that came to my afterparty!!!!

Seeing as Atari is the house that built Pong. They really need this on the VCS! Qomp looks beautifully simple yet incredibly hard to master. This fun game on Pong should be on Atari.

What is the least expensive way to purchase Atari Token

I set up a MetaMask account with $450 USD with the purpose of buying Atari Tokens. I looked at pricing on both the MetaMask app and Uniswap. Both had insane fee’s.

I tried using the Ataritokens.com but the site isn’t fully functional to process any orders.

Any suggestions on how to move my ETH to Atari Tokens for the least amount of fee’s?

Adding more? [556's & features to the Atari Punk Console]?

Hi all! Just finished building (breadboarding) my first APC. I must have stared at that pinout for days while working on it here and there. I really want to add more features to it - and I have about eight 556 dual timers left to work with. Anyone know or point me in the right direction of a tutorial to add more 556's to the circuit?
Also any advice on expanding upon it would be great ie: some effects, more LEDs, (I have one LED lit with a 1k resistor across the board, added another 1k+LED and killed that second LED)

Thanks for any guidance you can offer.

How to buy Atari Token through Coinbase wallet

So far, Atari Token is only available through uniswap, exchange.Bitcoin.com and hotbit.io. Buying $ATRI through a more familiar exchange may require extra steps. Here’s how to do it through Coinbase in 3 steps.

You’ll for this method you’ll need the Coinbase wallet app on your phone. It’s very easy and quick to use. For holders interested in getting in before Atari Token is listed on major exchanges, this is a great place for storage.

1. Get ETH

Any other Ethereum-based token can be converted as well, but you’ll still need some ETH for the conversion. You can get $ETH at Coinbase, Binance, or any other exchange. If you’re opening an account for the first time in the US, you’ll have to submit ID verification.

2. Send ETH to the Coinbase wallet app

If you send from a Coinbase account, they’ll let you avoid their fee. Make sure it’s being sent to the correct address.

3. Convert to Atari Token $ATRI

https://i.imgur.com/DJxkzWc.png

The phone app offers the ability to convert your crypto through 1inch, offering additional options such as ATRI.

In doing this, you’ll pay a fee (called gas) in Ethereum. The cost of this varies; here’s a rough schedule for the cheapest times of day.

The Coinbase wallet converter allows fans to purchase $ATRI now by buying and converting $ETH through the most popular exchange.
