by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche Organization: June 1 — The explosion of campus protests against U.S. support for Israel’s scorched earth policies against Palestinians continued last week, with demonstrations at graduation ceremonies at many universities.  While the mainstream media has attempted to minimize the actions as “disruptions” of the annual spring festivities, U.S. elected officials have continued with […]

by Sean Adl-Tabatabai, The Peoples Voice: The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that by next year sovereign nations will completely cease to exist. Unphased by global outrage, the WHO has boasted that it will have a pandemic treaty agreement signed by 2025 – meaning that world governments will be subjected to laws and rules […]

Now here’s a blast from the past, as we’ve just been informed by Liqmatrix, that the classic Arcade game of ‘Popeye’, has been released as an RC1 build for the Atari XL/XE with a VBXE as an Arcade conversion by woj. In a similar vein to Donkey Kong albeit not as good, you play as Popeye and must collect hearts, musical notes and the letters H-E-L-P that the lovable character Olive drops from the top of the screen. But be warned, just like the cartoon, Brutus will get in your way with the help of the bad Sea Hag! [embedded content] Here’s what the creator says about the RC1 version that was released in Feb. ” Doing this today is no coincidence, it has been exactly one year since this was started here. The CAS version is mostly for laughs and masochists, the UF2 files though are genuine A8 Pico Cart files that you can install natively (be careful though, it will remove anything you have on the Pico Cart, including the uploaded images / files), and it then also has the score saving function (it is something only tested today for some minutes, had big problems making it work at first, but it seems OK now)”. The following is the list of know issues that are not likely to ever get fixed: If the NTSC version happens to have screen glitches (including on Altirra), press V at any time to rectify (this is due to recently discovered “feature” on NTSC VBXE installations). Once the consistency of this feature is confirmed, the support for the V key will be removed Saving scores to a very high speed SIO device causes the “Saving scores…” sign to only blink and otherwise the scoreline becomes uniform color of the last level’s background for the duration of saving. Not fixable without rewriting larger parts of code. Also, this screen flick is likely to swap the interlace fields. So better not to use too high speed SIO ; Some sounds (most notably walking flat and on stairs) can have a “phasing” left/right sound effect to it on some occasions Not all game speeds, including music, are 100% match between PAL and NTSC systems, however, effort has been made for both versions to be similar enough. The Rybag’s interlace hack mode was not properly tested on NTSC machines, on PAL machines also moderately in fact. Generally, the interlace mode is a hit and miss situation depending on the particular setup. The most sure option to have it working is to have Sophia 2 installed along the VBXE. Exiting the game through RESET will not restore the VBXE palettes or Sophia 2 settings in all situations (not fixable IMO due to system’s architecture). Also, when ran on NTSC machine the colors are (if/when) restored to the recently introduced NTSC VBXE palette, even if the installed / active core has PAL colors (this is not detectable from the game code). The mono mode of the sound was only moderately tested, stereo setup is advised. Exiting the cartridge version to SpartaDosX (regardless of Ctrl-X or RESET way), or starting the cartridge for the second time with the CAR command takes considerable time due to SDX saving / restoring the memory contents (thinking this is a productivity cartridge whose RAM memory is worth saving ;)). Refer to the SDX manual on how to neutralize this to speed things up. Links :1) Discussion 2) Download The post Popeye VBXE – An arcade port, but this time for the Atari XL/XE with VBXE!

T.S. Eliot wrote in "The Waste Land" that April was the cruelest month. For the WNBA's Angel Reese, however, the month of June is turning out that way, instead. It's only four days into the sixth month of the year, but Reese -- the Chicago Sky's "Hey, I was picked...

Thank goodness, after fumbling border security for almost his entire administration, President Joe Biden is finally ready to take control and protect Americans. Well, kind of. And only because he's desperately trying to improve his image before the November election. The Biden administration has had an infamously bad border, allowing...

A.F. Branco Cartoon – Biden’s lawfare scheme appears to have backfired. They had hoped to use it to destroy Trump’s path to the White House (election interference), but it seems to have had the opposite effect. Trump’s poll numbers continue to rise along with millions in campaign donations. WAYNE ROOT: Democrats Just Woke the Sleeping Giant, Proved Who the Real Dictator is, and Turned Trump into “America’s Nelson Mandela” By Wayne Allen Root – By Assistant Editor – May 31, 2024 Remember what the Japanese Admiral Yamamoto said after his airmen had destroyed Pearl Harbor and sent over 3,000 young Americans to their death in a sneak attack. His men cheered their resounding victory. But he solemnly stated, “I fear we have awakened the sleeping giant.” Like Pearl Harbor, yesterday was a day that will live in infamy. And Democrats have awakened the sleeping giant. First, there is no question Democrats will regret this day. They’ve crossed a line that has never been crossed in the history of America. They’ve touched “the third rail.” They’ve destroyed the justice system and “the rule of law.” They’ve turned America into a combination of a Banana Republic, the Soviet Gulag and 1930s Nazi Germany.
