Make sure you have the latest Internet Adapter installed. If you do, restart Cloud CPM to ensure it downloads the latest A:. Now go to the A: User Area 1 and type SLIDESHO. Hint, turn up your volume!

Oh, and it's also available on the NABU Channel list. I always forget about that :)

I'll make a video soon but I think you're going to really like the new change :D The nabu is one step closer to really fitting in on the entertainment rack

PS, there's a known bug with missing files. I'll get to that later today before i push the next vid

That'a boy :)

The bug is fixed in the latest A: update for the broken files. I had to reindex the 10,000 music files i have for this lol.

lol i can't stop listening to these chip tunes. it's an 8-bit rave in my office tonight! sometimes the music is hilariously mismatched with the photo. There was a picture of sesame street characters and this super dark song playing. i couldn't help but laugh

What happens if you don't have the latest Internet Adapter installed? (I'm still waiting for my cable, so haven't been able to test yet.)

The only version of Internet Adapter I've ever been able to get to run is from Dec 13, Windows version - through WINE on OSX 10.9.5. The Mac version doesn't work because of "Symbol not found: _CCRandomGenerateBytes Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib". (probably compiled for 10.11+)

Am I screwed? Or is it possible to compile Internet Adapter for 10.9.5?

Could this be the first “necro-post” on NABU forums? (amazing it’s now old enough for it)

I know you’re probably working hard on a solution to my 10.9.5 adapter problem… :P … but no need. I’ve got a newer Mac with newer OS and everything works.

I recognize every late 70’s/early 80’s image in the slideshow - even the obscure TVOntario stuff. “Trouble! Trouble!” I remember that stupid blue jay from Green Forest. That show drove me insane. I hated how the character’s mouths just opened and closed when they were talking - no other movements. My younger brother and sister always wanted to watch it when I wanted to connect my computer to do some programming. I had to buy my own TV.

Ironically, my own life is now like the Green Forest. I’m surrounded by blue jays, foxes, raccons and squirrels. (no grey guy with vest though - what the hell was that, an otter?)

Hey DJ, can you please add the option for SLIDEYOU to show images sequentially instead of random? Random is sometimes... not so random. For example, showing images in sequence like 2,5,2,3,2... when I'm waiting forever to see image #1 or 4.

I'm on a conversion frenzy, taking screenshots of 80's stuff to see what works. (yes, an amazing waste of my time...)

A converted screenshot of my Amiga 500 Workbench didn't turn out too bad. (photo of NABU on my 1978 CRT)

That looks amazing! I had trouble getting my simple logo to not look blocky. I had to make the outline around the letters extra thick so that there would be only two colours in each 8 pixel wide scan line cell, so some of the black spaces between letters needed to be filled in with white. Also had to slide things sideways a bit to get on cell boundaries. The one nifty thing is that pasting in Nabu font text worked perfectly, since it has only two colours.
