I joined the rebel alliance
« on: January 06, 2015, 10:01:18 AM »
Hey guys. Last weekend I went for a little road trip.

I got to pick up this little cab:



and I brought it to it´s new base:



I met great guys on this trip. Thank you Erik, Marco, Ulli, Oliver and Matthias for making this 23 hour ride an experience of a lifetime (we nearly lost our lifes that night, too :D ).
Erik... thank you soooo much! And to the other guys: I hope you are happy with what we brought to you. ;)



More pics to come when it is unwrapped.

It was a cold and grey day, but you and Jochen made it very much worth coming out of bed so early  :)

Alpha1 has a few, and one of them looks like new.....best one I'e ever seen and the story how he got it is one of the best I have heard about getting a cab.... :)

Hi (Noel) also has one too but is he still around ? I contacted him about his amplifone boards many moois ago but heard nothing back....

Speleo_DE has one too, another friend who seems to have "vanished from the scene"......

Then there was Luc from Belgium who has an upright and a cockpit plus an empty cockpit shell, but I don't know his current situation.

Now....someone needs to develop that Internet connection kit and modify the code so we can fight eachother online already ! ;);)
You do know the SW hardware already has an RS-232 port to hook up two cabs right ? :D

we will look into this. :D
the problem is: what mode would be possible for the game that would benefit from online gaming?

savekit is possible for sure... but it would rock to do something even more stunning.

I think Jed Margolin mentioned they experimented with it but it didn't work out great. (hence the unused RS-232 port).
Honestly I think it would need a LOT of programming to make it a two player game, either fighting against eachother (yes I want to be Vader ! ;) ) or co-op.....I'm not even dreaming about multi-player.....

it would need an INSANE amout of programming. it would actually need a completely new game. maybe a special co-op or battle-level.
too much work for Jochen i guess. i will ask him anyway. :D

Might be easier to make a new game on a PC ..... ;);)


By the way the serial port is not really Rs-232 but one of POKEY's serial ports, see drawing.

Gonna hook up my scope to it if there is actually still something going on at that port....always wondered about that :)

Erik... thank you soooo much! .....

You're welcome, it is in good hands now, so I can live with it. BTW, as André said, the game is sooo much overrated! LOL  :D ;)
