Every time I drive through Houston I see something that makes you say “well that’s the weirdest thing I have ever seen.” The funniest one was back in the 80’s and I was driving home from a concert and a station wagon passed me that had to be doing over 100mph. It had about 18 or more people in it, and they were hanging out of every window including the back. This was a 70’s model wagon so it was literally the size of a barge but it was packed to the gills. Now that in and of itself isn’t too funny, but combine that with the fact that all 4 tires were those baby spares and you have pure gold right there. It was bumping along down the road at high speeds with those tiny little tires just hanging on for dear life along with most of the passengers. I am guessing they were trying to start a trend with the baby spares but it doesn’t seem like it took off. Recently it has been cars with swangers and ones that are absolutely plastered with small figurines or trophies. They just glue them on and hit the open road. Can’t wait to see what is next.

Wow. At the time of me posting this, the majority of people in this discussion might want to step back a little a do a little self introspection. There is a lot of bigotry and hate in these posts for a couple of people that they don’t even know. Which is a little comical as that’s what a lot of people are accusing them of. There is lots of name calling that they are morons and bad people. For all you know they could be someone who has saved one of your loved ones say from an accident, or taught a loved one of yours as a teacher. But because they have an opinion, which they are entitled to, and it doesn’t match yours, they are automatically morons? That’s not how this works. Reminds me of the George Carlin bit where everyone one driving slower than you is an idiot, and everyone driving faster than you is a maniac. OP didn’t do much to help this by setting up these kinds of responses with the initial question and comments. Instead of asking a bunch of random people on the internet who are all in an echo chamber how about sitting down with your parents and just having a conversation with them about it. They did raise you so they should at least get a little credit. But what do I know. My kids have no problem discussing anything with me, and we all know that we are never going to agree 100% on things and that’s ok. They are entitled to their opinion just like we all are. Just because it doesn’t match yours doesn’t make them idiots.

I was thinking about it, and since you want to count to 05FF, it might be better to load 05FF into the two bytes and use SBC and count down until you hit 0000. Then the 05 isn’t causing more code to test for.

Just going to reply to myself here. I think I am completely wrong on my original reply. You should use ADC. If the byte overflows the carry bit will be set, and then you can test with BCC or BCS.

http://www.6502.org/users/obelisk/6502/reference.html#ADC

"ADC - Add with Carry

This instruction adds the contents of a memory location to the accumulator together with the carry bit. If overflow occurs the carry bit is set, this enables multiple byte addition to be performed."

It has been a while for me, but I think you are going to have to do this all manually. The 6502 is 8bit and you can’t load a 16bit word into the accumulator. Load A $lineL, increment A, store A, then compare it to 0 and beq a routine to increment $lineH, and then also compare that to your ending number. If you are wanting to end in 0x05FF you might also have to put in a compare when $lineL gets to 05 to see if $lineH is FF. I would have to find my atari books, or do some googling.

Edit: see my reply.

I never get paid in gum…

And it’s also no one else’s business if they are adults. Here’s a new title: Does Grimreaper know how to mind his/her own business?

To me it’s more of a boycott of ads, and I am not paying for a service to make that happen, so turning it off is my main option. I am especially perturbed about the ability of companies to advertise and push drugs that require a prescription to obtain. I do have a list of movies to watch from a large dvd collection I have, but I am not in a rush to go through that at the moment.

Creme Soda. Oddly enough the cheapest ones seem to be the best in my opinion.

If anyone cares, look into the game Utopia. One of my favorites on this platform.

Yup. The fact that people are checking out on learning and relying on ai to answer for them is going to be a disaster with huge implications down the road. School and the act of being taught isn’t an inconvenience kids, it has a purpose, and relying on technology to do your work is a bad idea.

It has ruined communication.

I like this and want to add something I think will be significant as generations pass. The fact that it encourages or at least seems to normalize incorrect spelling and grammar. I see 'break/brake" being used incorrectly so many times I have started to question it when I am using it now. When things are published normally, there is someone checking for grammatical errors and such. With social media so much text is being “published” with no checking whatsoever and I have a feeling that it is going to start affecting people in ways we haven’t thought of. It also is a little telling in my opinion of how abhorrent our current education system is.

Nice!

I think your keyboard has a speech impediment.

Hell yeah! And who downvoted his/her treat to themselves? A real turd in the punchbowl eh.

Most auto parts stores have a really nice selection of tools that they will loan out to anyone.

Remember kids, what you type in most likely can and will be used against you in a court of law (if needed), or if you ever decide to run for an office in the future I sure someone will dig it up. Have no expectations of privacy.

My first thought is a Raspberry Pi with a DAC hat. Then you can wire up some buttons and put it in a case. You could then program the buttons to do the basic functions like play music, skip, volume, etc. You could also use that same concept for an Arduino board and use it to control a computer or pad. My Mom had a muscle disease and it got to the point where she couldn’t hit ctrl-alt-del to turn her computer off at night. She also couldn’t hold down the shift key and type at the same time. I built her an arduino board with a box that I mounted a flip switch that would hold down shift for her as long as it was flipped, and then another button that when she hit it would type the ctrl-alt-del combo so she could do that all one handed. Both the rpi and arduino have pins that you can attach switches to and use them as a keyboard or mouse.

Pre-1990, you’re mostly looking at the NES library as the go to. The older Atari games I don’t think are worth it, outside of the historical context angle.

With all due respect, I have to disagree with you there. You seem to be lumping all Atari games into the 2600 category. The Atari computers had plenty of classics.

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
Star Raiders
Choplifter
Miner 2049er

The list goes on and on, and if you add in the Commodore, Apple, and TI computers it gets even bigger. Pre 90 consoles, you have Colecovision, Intellivision, etc. Of which I personally love love love Utopia for the Intellivision.
