DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Maybe?

My only thought is incase I have done something wrong or one of my components is not behaving. Although if that was the case I think it would not be working at all.

Good luck and happy soldering.

I'm going to now retire from the Atari workshop with a G&T to pour over the schematics, pinouts and data sheets.

Yes its odd. Its bit like Smonson's HDMI/DVI adaptor. Magic Pockets works fine but desktop keeps rebooting.

Yeah thats odd as well..

There is the thought I guess that the 32Mz clock might need inverting.. but that would be assuming data was latched as it was changing.. which might explain the desktop, but not why the game works.

Its odd when you first power up, only white at the top where the text it...
