Stevaside Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Gonna be looking to pick it up sometime in the near future. I see the "VE" version is for sale in Atari Age's store. This isn't the version with the enhanced sound is it? Is that version not availiable to purchase anymore?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Beef Drop "VE" is the value edition, without POKEY chip sound, correct. It will use a POKEY for sound if it detects one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevaside Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Ahh ok, I always wondered what the "VE" actually stood for haha...So the POKEY version was a limited run & probably no longer availiable to buy new I take it then Edited September 14, 2014 by Stevaside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Ahh ok, I always wondered what the "VE" actually stood for haha...So the POKEY version was a limited run & probably no longer availiable to buy new I take it then Unfortunately, they are no longer available. I lost my entire classic game collection several years back, in which that was part of the casualty. I've since replaced it with a V.E cart. The good news is the available ROM* will (should) work great in a Harmony Concerto which will allow POKEY sound, or of course if utilized with an XM unit. Regardless, I would be lying to state I would not purchase another/new copy with an included POKEY chip. *Don't worry about it stating "Demo". There are some very minor extra features missing - besides the "Demo" message at the title screen; it is the full blown Burger Time Beef Drop game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrose78 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) So are we saying that the Beef Drop VE edition, sold here, would use the pokey chip in the xm unit when it is released? On a side note: I would be interested as well in the Beef Drop version with Pokey if anyone does a run.

It will use the XM's POKEY.That's one reason I bought it, plus it is fun, and the harsh TIA sound isn't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrose78 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Noob Question: Can the Pokey physically be added to the Beef Drop VE Cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Noob Question: Can the Pokey physically be added to the Beef Drop VE Cart? Not easily and it would be a wire mess, as well as a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosystemsearch Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 There's POKEY, and there's another Sound chip that could be used as a sound chip for 7800 games in the future: The General Instruments AY chip(specifically the one used by the Vectrex) Maybe someday there will also be a POKEY Space Invaders, A POKEY or GI sound Double Dragon, and maybe a POKEY or GI sound 7800 Klax. And yeah, its a good thing that the VE Beef drop will use the XMs POKEY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
