Hi EdwinI've emailed you directly about getting one of these. Just wondering though, why wouldn't all Atom software work? I know the vast majority will work, I'm just curious.
Looks like a lovely little bit of hardware. Lots of wee bits and pieces happening in the SAM scene this year, cool! Gavin On 18 May 2007, at 1:13 PM, Edwin Blink wrote:
Hi everybodyI'm pleased to see the list so alive lately. I like your game Calvin ! it reminds me of the early 80s handheld games. Simple gameplay but very addictive. I hope we will see finished version in the near feature.I have some good news too. After a long time I finally have made a CF interface for SAM that comes in a light version of the Atom. Light meaning it is has 8-bit wide databus. CF-card are accessed in 8-bit mode.So no capacity is lost and speed is even faster. It's designed in such a way that it fits in the right floppydiskdrive bay whitout the need to open up SAM. It is also compatible with most existing Atom software (some minor changes are needed in some cases though) for example I didn't need to make any changes for the Atom versions of Price of Persia & Lemmings.
