January 7th, 2013 3 comments

After 3+ years of suffering and curses, some days ago i have leave one of the worst (cheap) shared web hosting on the net.

I’m talking about Dreamhost.

The site Nightfallcrew.com / Retrocomputermania.com / Retrothings.org now runs on a dedicated server virtualized with Proxmox (KVM).

Atari arcade stick for Apple iPad

September 6th, 2011 No comments

Atari has recently updated their Atari’s Greatest Hits iOS app to include support for an upcoming “Atari Arcade — Duo Powered” joystick.

The design appears to support both landscape and portrait orientations. No details are provided, but it’s likely the device also uses Bluetooth rather than going straight into the dock connector. This is how the iCade works as well, by emulating a Bluetooth keyboard. This system also makes it easier for 3rd party developers to build in support for the accessories.

Atari’s Greatest Hits offers 100 classic Atari games for the iPad and iPhone. It was the first app to provide support for the iCade with several others following. No word on when Atari’s joystick will be available, just “soon”.
