Albert Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 A) When I have labels printed B) When manuals are printed C) When a limited number of boxes for each game are printed D) When I have enough 7800 cart shells, which I certainly do not right now. I'm working on a large order for A) and B) above, just waiting on a few more assets for other new games to be completed. This is the same situation with the boxes. As for D, well, that's a more difficult problem. I've started talking to some knowledgable people about getting AtariAge 2600/7800 cartridge shells made. ..Al 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yay! No more time wasted on cleaning carts! Yes, plus they will all be consistent in quality, and I can have "AtariAge" embossed on the back. They will use the same size labels as Atari's shells, and also work with standard Atari-size PCBs. They will not have any holes under the label surfaces (unlike 7800 and later 2600 carts). I probably will keep the screw under the main label. ..Al 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it will be 'AtariAge' with the logo to the left (at the same height). ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I currently have my collection. 5-6 carts high on a CD shelf system. If they are raised quite a bit, might end up indenting or scratching the label. Just have to be a little more careful when pulling out I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!!Very nice to hear about the shells.Was sad to hear of the shortage with all of CPUWIZ's hardware work and all these new great games coming out!It just keeps getting better and better to be in on the 7800 scene..

CPUWIZ Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 What shortage? What do you think all of those games will be released on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 What shortage? What do you think all of those games will be released on? 7800 Shells. Which, I might add, if anyone has any common 7800 games, red label Atari 2600 carts, or later gray label 2600 carts that you'd like to contribute to the homebrew cause, please contact me so we can work out a deal for them. ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 BTW, the 48K boards work fine with spring loaded carts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 BTW, the 48K boards work fine with spring loaded carts. If by spring loaded you mean the ones that have two springs, those are my favorite carts. However, they are quite uncommon. If by spring loaded you mean the regular 2600 shells, well, I'd like to know how you're making those work unless you remove the spring and dust cover pieces entirely. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yes, dual spring loaded, commonly found in Xevious, Pole Position II, Centipede and Dig Dug as well as several 2600 carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Handy Dandy Definitions spring loaded: carts that were loaded with chips during the spring. summer loaded: carts that were loaded with chips during the summer. fall loaded: carts that were loaded with chips during the fall. winter loaded: carts that were loaded with chips during the winter. I bet that crap will end up in an Atari history book some day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I had a friend modify all of my boards that wouldnt fit into the spring loaded carts . Just did some modifications to the board and cart ofcourse . I really like the spring loaded carts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
