  1. Albert didn't send you a Penult cartridge...yet! ..Al
  2. I don't care, it's still political, and I'm sure you could have come up with another analogy. And I don't even see how it's an analogy to your situation anyway. Thank you, ..Al
  3. @BIGHMW Please do not bring up Trump again on the forum here, thank you, and I'd appreciate if you edit that bit out of your post. Thank you, ..Al
  4. Yes, the NTSC version of Stargate works fine on the original firmware. I have verified this myself. ..Al
  5. Huh, neat to see another example, thanks for sharing! ..Al
  6. I love that you already have a list of games you want to work on, that's great! Really curious to see what game you decided to work on for your very first Adventure on the 2600! ..Al
  7. I look forward to the reveal of your first Atari 2600 game! ..Al
  8. This only happens if an email is bouncing for some reason, I haven't seen false positives as far as this goes. If some of your emails are bouncing, which is not something you'd be likely to know unless you control the email server, this can cause a problem for mail delivery in general for the email server sending out the emails. This is the main reason this check was put into place -- if you have a forum where tons of old email addresses are now bouncing, that can result in your server being put on a blacklist, causing more email providers to block your messages from being delivered. I have unblocked it, but if this happens again it's unlikely I will be able to unblock it again. At that point, you would be required to change your email address in order to continue receiving emails from the forum. Take care, ..Al
  9. Wow, I wasn't even aware VMware had been sold. I use VMware Fusion on macOS. I'm getting so sick of companies getting extraordinarily greedy in the name of profits, while trying to mask it as good for the customer. First paragraph in the above article, "Broadcom CEO and President Hock Tan has acknowledged the discomfort VMware customers and partners have experienced after the sweeping changes that Broadcom has instituted since it acquired the virtualization company 114 days ago." Also tired of companies using weasel words to try and soften what they are doing, in this case, "discomfort". Give me a break. Another reason to avoid Walmart, and Target as well if they start this. I was in a Target yesterday, and the self-checkout area, which was six registers, had a line, and they had a SINGLE regular register open staffed by a human, and there was a line for that as well. I'm flabbergasted that they want to institute fees to use the self-checkout, while they are already saving tons of money by not having to have an employee at each register. Again, corporate greed is rampant and out of control. Just disgusting. ..Al
  10. I'm skeptical of this claim, do you have a recent article to support that? In 2023, YouTube had gross revenue of $31.5 billion. It doesn't look like they've released net revenue numbers, but I'd be amazed if they aren't making a handsome profit on YT, especially with the volume of ads they are running these days. https://www.businessofapps.com/data/youtube-statistics/ ..Al
  11. It's not unusual to get false positives like this, I've seen it various times in the past, usually involving compressed files and/or executables (such as game binaries, of which there are thousands of on the forum). I just scanned this page on an online checker. ..Al
  12. Not sure what software you're using, but there are no viruses embedded in the forum. Recently, Chrome and Firefox have started marking every single attachment with a .bin extension, and some other extensions, as containing malware or a virus. Which is patently false, they are just blanket labeling all such files as dangerous. Could be related to that. And it's very annoying, since I'm not sure there's anything I can do on my end to prevent them from falsely claiming such files are dangerous, short of renaming all these files to use alternate extensions (such as .a26 for Atari 2600 binaries). ..Al
