Ah, makes sense. I noticed that as well.

Looks like it's a string, so I presume it inserts some listings or something :O If so, major congrats/props. However, I was not able to get it to work. What exactly do you mean by $3800? I put in the address 3800, added what you said, and set 00c8 to 13, but nothing seemed to change. Any advice? mm...

Sounds great! :D I'll give this a try a little later. What does it do? :) that's the fun :) Looks like it's a string, so I presume it inserts some listings or something :O If so, major congrats/props. However, I was not able to get it to work.

So. If someone wants to try..... In your emulator, modify the memory at $3800 to 55 AA 41 2A 00 94 55 AA 4B 01 04 09 0A 16 27 1E 01 01 9D and the byte at 00c8 to 13 and resume. Now can anyone work out how to inject that data via the serial port in any emulator?! (edit: oops, the long string, not th...

(Sorry for the triple post, I guess no one will yell at me on my own forum :p) By the way, tin, I don't know if the serial input you're talking about that the EPG reads from is an R: patch, but at least on my Atari800MacX emulator, you can set a network port to input directly into there, so you can ...

Aha, with your contacts you're obviously getting better info than me, I am just guessing from the info on Wikipedia. Most of the technical information on Wikipedia was posted by my (internet) friend Steve who was a consultant for TV Guide Inc. briefly in 1999 when they were switching from the Amiga...

BTW i doubt the disk could update itself because of the amount of data needed to go through the air (although reverse engineering will reveal) so we could do with getting hold of older ones if by any chance they still exist. Just realized the other reason why I thought the Amigas would update thems...

Hmm...interesting. I'd like to take this emulator for a spin myself. I saw on your latest video of the epg you were able to edit ads by typing a "!" on the scroll speed section. I've downloaded the rom file but how did you manage to get to the edit screen? Right, maybe I should write a tu...

Interesting, I'll check it out if you get nowhere, but first more reverse engineering of the atari EPG. A thought occured, I think the errors you get are because the genlock and audio switching cards are not present, the software will try and control them I guess. We could do with an older version,...

tin, I tried using TypeSmith, however the version I had did not seem to be able to open a bitmap font... I'll keep looking into it.
