Posted by atari2600land in atari2600land's Blog, 19 June 2013 · 69 views

I want to make a third volume of the Classic NES Series for Game Boy Advance. A dream right now. I'd need to get a thing that can burn Game Boy Advance games onto a cart. Somewhere I have a pirate GBA cart with a bunch of NES games on it, so I'm not thinking it's that hard. I wonder if one can just go on the internet and buy a GBA cart burner....

I just bought an Atari 600XL and an 800XL and am trying to clean them due to them being really dirty.

Xbox One & used games pt2

Posted by EricBall in EricBall's Tech Projects, 14 June 2013 · 185 views

Gaming sites are filled with rants regarding the Xbox One and Microsoft's decision to allow publishers to limit or restrict sales of used games.   I think Microsoft's biggest problem was not in the decision, but how they presented it.  Imagine if they had presented it like:   The power of the Xbox One isn't just the boxes in your home!  Xb...

I know people are anxious for me to get back to work on Frantic , but I'm not quite ready to jump back into a major project yet.  I have started to dabble though , so I think the burnout is nearly over.  I've also been researching ADPCM  to compress the digital samples even more than packing did , though it's currently making my head spin.  I...

Here are some key things to look for when buying on Ebay. Ok, so you are looking for an item on Ebay.  Here is my personal opinion of what kind of things you should look at before making a selection.  The first thing that is most important is the Feedback.  If a seller has a good feedback rating of close to 100% then they are probably safe to buy from.  But I would take a look at that seller by clicking on their...

Still cool?  When was it not? I know what your thinking....  Atari?   did't that go out with the 80's.  Any possibly your right if your the younger generation.  But, for me Atari is still cool.  See I remember being a young kid playing in the creek chasing crawdads and snakes through the woods.  I remember the days before cell phones tablets and electronic devices.  I was born...

They are bad... really really bad.


They are bad... really really bad. Ok, so.... We all know how bad the controllers are.  I buy and sell vintage video games and accessories.  When I started out I sold just about any joystick or any other accessory that a person would want or need.  But then I quickly learned that the Atari 5200 controllers were consistantly bad.  Someone would buy a working 5200 controller from me and then...

I'm Getting Really Tired of Working on My Web Site

Posted by Random Terrain in Random Terrain's Tetraternarium, 30 May 2013 · 159 views

You have to check videos by hand and links by hand too since link checkers suck at telling you when a link redirects to a new page.Then there's the Google problem. Google tells web site owners to be natural and that you shouldn't make your pages for them, but then they contradi...
