Can’t find any help for this online. 400 with blank green screen

No sound from the speaker, no memo pad, basic cartridge inserted brings the same exact issue. Is there anything I could do? I’ve tried cleaning the board like 10 times with no result. And for the life of me, I can’t find any information on this issue so I’m asking Reddit! Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated 😊

Word of warning about preordering the THE 800XL off Atari’s website. The “Buy now pay later” line is apparently just for show

I know I shouldn’t be preordering crap, but again I was acting under the assumption I would be charged until it shipped.

Cool idea or abomination?

I was digging in the closet looking for something and ran across an intact XF551 sans the disk mech, but I have a spare original Mitsumi mech. I also have an old Teac 3.5/5.25 dual mech.

Should I...

A: Restore it to stock in all its beige glory?

B: Build a unique dual mech contraption?

I already have a functioning stock original 5.25" and a 3.5" unit I modded years ago.

No XFs will be harmed in this endeavor either way. 😁

My Factorio De-make for the 800 is Finally Done!

63 Upvotes

Hi Everyone, I've been working on a Factorio style game for the original Atario 800 in my free time for a while now. The wonderful folks at AtariMania published it in their database and I wanted to share it here!

My goal was to fit as large of a tech tree as is possible in the 48k memory footprint of the original 800, mostly so I can play it on my 800 lol. Obviously I wasn't able to follow Factorio's tech tree identically, but I feel the gameplay has the same spirit. I managed to include three science packs, power mechanics, lots few logistical and manufacturing options, and more!

I included an xex for emulator/Fujinet compatibility and an atr file that can be written to disc if you so desire. Check it out if you're interested here, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did building it!

I like the old tech with the new tech Atari and a 3D printer for making dust protectors and the cartridge rack.

Atari 800xl no output to screen. Power supply issue?.

4 Upvotes

When I bought it, it was advertised as working, when I powered it on, the light would only come on about a second or so after flipping the switch. I am using a new electroware power supply instead of the original just in case it isn't safe to use. The disk drive, while appearing to work as the busy light goes off after power on as it should, goes back on when the computer is powered on.

Ciao redditors, voglio vendere su eBay un Atari 130XE con program recorder XC12 (registratore a cassette) entrambi testati e funzionanti in imballaggi originali completi di cartoni interni e polistiroli. Manca solo manuale originale che posso fornire in PDF.

Il tutto è accompagnato da alcune cassette di software vari e un joystick Suncom Tac-2.

Mi aiutate a stimare un prezzo onesto da inserire nell'annuncio?

Hi all, Another moddle aged ultra-nerd have massive Atari 800xl/1050 drive flashbacks via my R36H/RetroArch portable. One lf my MAIN nostalgia rushes besides playing 'Behind Jaggi Lines' is replaying the wild Synapse titles, my faves were:

Blue Max

Fort Apocalypse

The Encounter

Zeppelin

Rainbow Walker

Necromancer

Curious to know what people out there like. Also did they release titles when bought out by Broederbund?
