Atmark Channel Club

The **Atmark Channel Club** (アットマーク チャンネルクラブ) was a membership online service organized by Bandai Digital Entertainment for owners of Pippin consoles in Japan.

The first issue of *Pippin Atmark Channel Press*, titled *Atmark Channel Club vol.1*, was bundled with Pippin Atmark consoles released in Spring 1996 and promoted club membership and services. Members received an Atmark Channel Club card, online password, and a subscription to *Pippin Atmark Channel Press*.

## Online service

The service became available in March 1996 and could be accessed through one of 19 dial-up access points, using a supported CD-ROM such as *Internet Kit* or *TV Works* (for e-mail). Mac users could also access the service. At first, up to 10 hours of service were included for JP¥2000 per month, after which there was a surcharge of ¥10 per additional minute. Later, 15 hours of service were included per month.

The homepage included links to a "Web Launch" internet portal, "Net Mates" social networking, "Event Box" fortune telling and games, and Pippin software and hardware information.

### Closure

The Atmark Channel Club online service closed on April 30, 1999. Bandai recommended that users migrate to NEC's BIGLOBE internet service and offered to send updated CD-ROMs to assist in the migration. The Japanese version of *TV Works* was revised to support POP mail as the Atmark Channel's IMAP mail servers were being shut down. The final version of *TV Works* was released in March 1999 directly by Bandai, after its Bandai Digital Entertainment subsidiary had been dissolved.

Urdun

The planets surface

Homeworld of the Zentakki. A terrestrial planet with an extremely slow axial rotation. Days and nights here can last as long as an Earth-week (depending on the season). Forests of giant fungal organisms dominate much of the surface. The flesh of these huge mushroom trees dry out during the long, hot days, becoming tough and woody. Building upon this hardened material is what allows them to grow so tall. The Zentakki harvest the soft flesh of these organisms for food, and construct homes inside the hollowed out trunks that remain. The planet has 2 moons: Tralit which is super close to the planet and has tidal forces strong enough to lift rivers, since the moon is so close it trapped a group of asteroid who are now inbetween the planet and moon. The moon Tralyr is a moon made up of yellow calcite making the moon very dry because of the salt contents of the mineral.

## geography

most of the planet is flat with only a few mountains, the highest being only 3 Km tall. The deepest ravines are also only 5 Km deep.

## sights

The planet is covered in strange structures created by the zentakki these structures called srut can be up to 500 m tall and cover a large portion of the dessert. The planet is also well known for its Frozen river known as Srtart, this river gor lifted into the air by the tidal forces of the gray moon Tralit when it raised it froze in place and has remained their for the past 500 thousand years.

Best of Blender

CD-ROM of the hybrid version for Macintosh, PowerMac, and Pippin.

***Best of Blender:** The Interactive Entertainment Magazine*, is an entertainment CD-ROM that was released in September 1996 by Dennis Publishing.

## Features

The *Best of Blender* CD-ROM is a digital compilation of content from *Blender* magazine, containing interviews with Iggy Pop, Tori Amos, and Traci Lords. It also included a QuickTime VR tour with The Beastie Boys, a copy of America Online, and over 25 film and music reviews.

## Release status

The CD-ROM was labeled as being compatible with Macintosh, Power Macintosh, and Pippin. However, it was not properly "Pippinized" to boot from any Pippin console. The disk contains a system folder that appears to be directly copied from the November 1996 *Pippin SDK CD-ROM*, but the boot blocks and authentication are not correctly configured for startup.

## References

1. ↑ Sadly, it turns out this disk image won't boot on any Pippin console, even with dev ROMs or @ablitter's ingenious #PippinKickstart. The authentication is zeroed out, the boot blocks are incorrectly configured, and extra RAM is required. At least it can be read by classic Mac. by Pippin @WORLD & Atmark, Twitter. 2020-06-23.
2. ↑ If the disk image is rebuilt with correctly configured boot blocks, then perhaps it may load on a dev Pippin with extra RAM. The disk is intriguing as it contains a full Finder (which would have been rejected by Apple) and "AppleShare 3.5, Pippin 1.0" from the 11/96 SDK CD. by Pippin @WORLD & Atmark, Twitter. 2020-06-23.

Piggley Winks

"*Jakers!*"

- Piggley's catchphrase

Piggley Winks is the son of Padrig and Elly Winks, the older brother of Molly, the father of Ciara, the grandfather of Meg, Sean and Seamus and is the main character in Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks. He is voiced by Maile Flanagan as a child and Peadar Lamb as an adult.

## Biography

This spirited eight-year-old is our hero and the unofficial leader of the youngsters in and around the village of Tara. He's a spunky, creative, imaginative rascal with a streak of mischief in his veins and a definite gift of the gab. His favourite activity is going on adventures (don't ask him to sit down) with his two best friends Ferny and Dannan.

If there's a simple straightforward way of doing something… it's of no interest to Piggley! He'd rather uncover the mysteries of everyday life, explore the other reaches of imagination and cook up exciting new schemes.

## Appearance

As a child, Piggley wore a cream coloured jumper, brown shorts and green Wellington boots.

As an adult, Piggley wears once again a cream coloured jumper though now wears brown trousers, slippers, glasses, a red scarf and a flat cap.

## Trivia

* As Piggley was 8/9 years old in the past scenes in the series (which take place in the mid 1950s), this would mean that he would have been born in the mid 1940s. If the present scenes are set in at the time the series was broadcast (the mid to late 2000s), this would mean that adult Piggley would be somewhere in his early to mid 60s.
* In the episode "Pie Filling", Piggley mentions having an uncle, but it is not known if he is related to Piggley through Padraig or Elly.
* In the episode "The Case of the Big Sty", it is revealed that Piggley's favourite radio show is *Piggley Trotter, Private Eye* and as a child, he and Ferny would play detectives.
* Piggley's favourite colour is green and his favourite food is apple pie.
* In the episode "The Cat Came Back and Back", it is revealed that the story Piggley tells to Sean and Seamus in the episode, was also one he told Ciara when she was younger, thus revealing that Piggley also recounted his childhood adventures to Ciara.
* Piggley really loves tag.

PippinFinder

**PippinFinder** is a simplified single-application launcher that is placed in the System Folder of a "Pippinized" CD-ROM in place of the standard Macintosh Finder desktop. However, an inactive copy of Finder 7.5.3 can still be found on many released disks. For CD-ROMs that contains more than one application, a Pippin Launch file is added to provide a rudimentary interface to make a selection (for example, *Super Marathon*).

## Un-Pippinizing a Pippin OS

On Pippin console configurations with a developer ROM or dongle, the "Finder" found in a "Pippinized" System Folder (which is actually the PippinFinder) can be replaced with Finder 7.5.3, or Finder 7.5.6 from an installation of Mac OS 7.6. Other extensions, libraries and control panels can be updated as follows from a Universal Installation of System 7.5.5, with the noted exceptions:

**Do not include from System 7.5.5:**

* Apple Guide files
* Ethernet files
* Monitors and Sound control panel
* Open Transport files
* QuickTime
* Shared Library Manager

Gaia

Gaia (Earth) is one of the most important planets in the universe.

**Gaia** (sometimes called earth) is the 3th planet from Ra. She is the most massive and largest of all the terrestrial planets in the Ra-system. Gaia is home to millions of organisms. Radiometric dating has indicated that Gaia is around 4,57 billion years old and that life started maximum around 1 billion years later. Because live on Gaia has made the atmosphere oxygen-rich, so aerobic organisms could survive, and the ozonlayer could be created. Which protects the surface against harmfull UV-radiation, this makes live on the surface possible.

## Life

Gaia is home to various species includding humans, camels, horses and whales.

## geography

In contrast to most other planets earth does not have 1 single geographic feature that defines the hole world, but the most special is probably the Himalaya.

## sights

some of the sights are the Amazon, himalaya and the capital tower (5 km) in Shanghai (capital of Gaia).
Petro la Vaquetta

Admiral **Petro la Vaquetta** is the de factor commander of the Cagna Regina, dreadnaught of the fleet of Fabulon. This Montivan veteran is a tight-lipped disciplinarian who is fiercely loyal to his commander. Florian rarely makes direct demands of him, and Petro repays this by never questioning even the strangest of orders. As his ship is docked in Port Florian, he spends a lot of time there.

Gadget: Invention, Travel, & Adventure

***Gadget: Invention, Travel, & Adventure*** is a CD-ROM-based adventure game for the Pippin Atmark console.

## Releases

*Gadget: Invention, Travel, & Adventure* was first released in November 1993 by Synergy Interactive for the FM Towns, a PC variant from Fujitsu that was popular at the time in Japan.

The Pippin port was released in 1996 by Bandai Digital Entertainment in Japan. A memory module with at least 2MB of RAM must be added to the default console configuration for the game to run. It is considered a spiritual continuation of director Haruhiko Shono's work on *L-Zone*, which itself was also ported to the Pippin platform.

In 1997, an updated special edition was released as ***Gadget: Past as Future*** for PlayStation. It was released as a hybrid disc for Macintosh and Windows in Japan by Synergy Works (シナジーワークス) and internationally in 1998 by Cryo Interactive. However, this version omits puzzle games from the original and replaces spoken dialog with text. An iOS version, titled ***iGadget HD***, was released by NTT Resonant on March 23, 2011.

Pippin dongle

**Pippin dongles** are small external devices that connect to a Pippin console's AppleJack (P-ADB) port, sometimes through an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) adapter.

## Pippin developer dongles

Sometimes called "security keys", these bypass the authentication process of Pippin consoles with ROM revision 1.2, allowing developers to test CD-ROM software that have not yet been submitted to Apple Computer or its partners for review. On consoles with ROM revision 1.3, the dongle would allow it to boot from an external hard disk. These functions have since been replicated by *Pippin Kickstart*.

The MicroGuard Plus ADB dongles were manufactured by Micro Macro Technologies, an Israeli company that was acquired by Aladdin Knowledge Systems in March 1999. Harvey Lab acted as an agent for developers using MicroGuard dongles in Japan at the time.

## Pippin adapter dongles

These adapters allowed ADB devices to be used with a Pippin console's AppleJack port, or vice versa. Some of these products never reached the market as finished goods.

* Adapter A (AppleJack-to-ADB), Model No: PA-82005/BDE-8005, JP¥ 1,500 ~~2,000~~.
* Adapter B (ADB-to-AppleJack), JP¥ 1,500 ~~2,000~~.
* AppleJack-to-[[[Wikipedia:infrared|IR]] transmitter, included as part of the Atmark Wireless Controller Set (BDE-82014)
* AppleJack Y-split "twin" adapter, JP¥ 1,000.

KanjiTalk

**KanjiTalk** (**漢字Talk** or **かんじトーク**) is a localized version of the Macintosh operating system, developed by Apple Computer for the Japanese market. It uses an input method called Kotoeri to support Japanese characters in Macintosh computers that were sold in Japan at the time the Pippin platform was launched in 1996.

## Japanese Pippin OS

Japanese Pippin prototypes could boot a beta version of KanjiTalk 7.5.2b3 (or a corresponding English version of Mac OS 7.5.2a3) with System Enabler 1.0b3. "Pippinized" CD-ROMs published in Japan for the Pippin Atmark console contained a Pippin OS folder based on KanjiTalk 7.5.2 with System Enabler 1.1.

Support for displaying Japanese and Kanji characters added about 1MB to system memory requirements, 1.5MB if Japanese text input is needed, forcing some developers to strip features or require a memory upgrade. Some Pippin titles, such as *EGWORD Pure* and *Internet Kit 2.0*, used *EGBRIDGE* as a Japanese input method instead of Kotoeri from KanjiTalk.

## KanjiTalk and Mac

The Japanese version of the Macintosh Plus is observed to have included KanjiTalk fonts in its ROM, reducing RAM required for operation.

Apple eventually replaced KanjiTalk with WorldScript in Mac OS 8. WorldScript was later replaced by Unicode support in Mac OS X.
