Tempest 4000 - YES! YES! YES!

I think he said it's totally going to be available in VR for Steambox using a spinner while you sit in the Konix Game Chair.

Oh. Good!

That’s probably what the small print in the contract states.

Actually I am lightly amazed I still haven't heard news from MS ... wonder what's going on ..

[gilesgoat]

I am .. IN THE FRAKING APRIL 2018 .. waiting to know "news" from MS and GETTING FRAKING NUTS WITH EXCEL XLS AND XML CRAP .. that I don't know how to use Excel, never used it in my life almost and THANKFULLY I have copy that works ..

With still )($*"()£*$()"£*$("£*($)£"*$)(£" £"localised strings and shit like :

" Description must be a non-empty string of max length 100. One or more localizations with the following string ID are outside length requirements: 35f601a4-0011-4019-b816-ac5b4462d3b8 " ...

Trying to figure out how you find from an XLS TOO FULL of STRINGS in 6 languages if there's a formula/way to figure out the 'offending strings'.

I suspect the German .. but could be Dutch as well .. even French looks "too long" in places.

In the meanwhile I ALSO found out "there's something wrong here" to get told :

Hi Ivan,

I have confirmed there is a regression between the February and April XDKs. I am currently working with the engineering team to diagnose and investigate a fix. As of right now I am unaware of an work around, but I will continue to investigate.

Thanks!

I found a workaround but I am not sure if it's the correct one.

ALSO I'd swear the LATEST XDK "upgrade" screwed up more than a thing but lets forget this for the moment.

Meanwhile waiting to know results ( from MS ) and for the moment all is still silent ... if I see one more time that "submission form" and "do this and that and this and that and PRAY that thing works" I'll get more nuts (*)

My swearwords are echoing anyway ...


(*) around 33% of time it does not, around 60% of time you can't log in and you need to re-try until eventually something cracks and you get in

I played dumb, I sent the XML / XLS to someone else asking if he can have a look at it

I hope so too as the ataribox classic joystick apparently also operates as a spinner/paddle - so it might even be the best way to play this

The contract does NOT talk about ataribox .. just to let you know .. not even in the small prints .. actually I don't think there was any ataribox at all when the contract was made ...

I think it's going to be a long time before you have to worry about it being on the box. I don't think even they know when the hardware will be released...

I don't even know what HW or OS it REALLY is .. I mean "I know as much as you know" like "they say it's like a laptop running some Linux".

Sometime around the third quarter of 2024, I think.

Maybe it is a streaming box afterall. High speed broadband required to play 2600 centipede. So... when Atari asked for T4K they perhaps meant the filesize?

A sneak peak video of T4K supposedly running on an Ataribox. Supposedly. Intriguing...

Interesting .. I know absolutely NOTHING about it, nor about it running, even less about the Atari box itself.

Must be a Steam box. *edit* Yup!
