        @joeatari1 I worked with a guy who had a tramp stamp from what I've heard. sounds like a decision he made early on in his life. what a horrible thing to be stuck with
      3. joeatari1

        @dudeguyIt sounds like that guy had a really hard of drinking that ended at a tattoo parlor.  But to Crazy Chris, no I do not collect stamps.  I do however have a small coin collection.  I'm a very amateur numismatist. 
      4. CrazyChris

        Thankfully I've never seen a guy with a tramp stamp.
      5. dudeguy

        I was big on coins from 2014 to 2018 or so. My best pulls were a 1904 penny, a Mercury Dime (so worn, couldnt tell you the date), a couple of war nickels.
         
        When they started doing the stupid state quarter thing, it's been all downhill from there for coins, and frankly they should stop making them. except for quarters
      6. dudeguy

        you should make a coin thread if there isn't one already

      Yesterday I finished uploading the rest of my July 2022 gaming videos playlist. That month I played Game Boy, NES, PC, PS1, Atari 2600 and Switch with the most played games being the finishing of Pokemon Red and Blue with living dexes of 151, the start of Pokemon Yellow, and the playing the original unpatched version of Sonic Origins. I still have a long way to go before I even get close to getting up to date.

    • Neither a seizure nor an expenditure of the Miami Beach Police Department, but provided by Braman Rolls-Royce of Miami.  Funny, a buddy of mine used to be a tech there a while back.  He was good and made bank, getting flown around the world to do work.   I am not quite sure how this is going to help recruitment.
    • Didn't work for me, my sdrive expects an atr file I think
    • Update:    After the experience with the XF551_B I decided to recheck my 1450XL schematics for the current prototype and discovered some errors against the loaned board truth.  And I'm not finished yet.  Some are mine.  Others appear to be coming from the original batch of schematics.  Not sure if Atari engineers made some changes on the loaned board version and they didn't get into the version of schematics I have or what.  So assembly of the prototype has stopped.  It isn't going to work anyway.    Not a complete waste of time and money.  I was going to have to check part fit and make some footprint changes anyway.  For now I am focusing on trying to verify my schematic against the board truth.  All several thousand part holes.......🙃
    • Likely they had to do not a thing to the Supercharger or their console.    Several have posted throughout the years of the Supercharger fitting and playing just fine - including some individuals utilizing multiple 7800 consoles without issue.   Here are a few examples: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/117221-just-grabbed-a-7800/#comment-1419095   https://forums.atariage.com/topic/74550-fell-in-love-with-the-7800/#comment-912879   https://forums.atariage.com/topic/14673-supercharger-compatibility/#comment-147016   Not denying your experience or what was necessary to make it work (fit) for a particular console; however, the need to modify the plastic cartridge sleeve is not an absolute must for all units.
    • Miami cops have bling going on... Cruising the strip in Rolls Royce...   RtWCKbIeAE5EzDeh.mp4
    • All right, I'm on the board.  Terrible picture, but that is 21,800.  That trench run is pretty tough.  Will try a bit more this weekend     And I played a few rounds of Space Harrier
    • Also for those who are on the fence I would recommend getting the RGB set up from crossbow when the Crayon King will releases more of his boards on eBay.   The setup I'm using with two consoles with HDMI scalers is perfect, no lag at all.
    • That's the importance of a regulated power supply. The voltage will be the same with or without the load. Unregulated supplies have a wide range of voltages dependent on the load.   Center positive, and it has a protection circuit incase it gets wired up backwards.  
    • Very nice Crash! Now if I can get my Intelli to look that good on a LCD!😝 I have 3 built so far. Whipped out the ol Monoprice Select Mini to print the cart as I can't get my Sovol SV01 to reliably print. I'm currently modifying the cart's front to look more like an original cart. I'll post a screen cap of the models so you all can get a look. Then hopefully the printed cart will turn out good. Building these have been a blast. So, Aotta, could a Pico work for a 2600 cart? 😁
    • Keystone Kapers is a Great Game! You really picked a good one! That is my go to game still to this day. I first bought mine back in the early 80’s when I owned an Atari Clone the Coleco Gemini which I purchased at Sears. It was my first Atari system. Take a good look at the controller my score was much higher on that system because of the controller. It had a built in paddle which worked well but the original Atari paddles were the best.    If you can do 7800 emulation check out Keystone Koppers by Muddyvision
