Albert Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 When I bought my Zippy, there was no box option. Is there a way I can buy just a box? I'll buy a couple more items too if I can get this box. Yes, I can sell you a box separately, and can include it with another order which would save you having to pay shipping for it.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 How many copies from our favorite ebay seller are up yet? Or did he start selling that ages ago? Not a terribly high price hike but you can save about $12 or so buying direct from the AA store. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 152489488481 Someone made a mint off a CIB Bentley Bear not long ago...

Sprybug Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 @sprybug, I'd like to get this added to the ROM properties database in Stella. Please provide the following info: Cartridge.Manufacturer Cartridge.ModelNo Cartridge.Name Cartridge.Note Sure, I just need a little clarification on what you are looking for exactly for these parameters. Would Manufacturer be "AtariAge"? Model No, I'm guessing would be the one I assigned, which in Atari tradition was a CX number. Princess Rescue was CX26200 and this one is "CX26201". Name "Zippy the Porcupine". Note, if you want to put in the author, which would be me, you can put my name "Chris Spry" and anything else of note would be 64K Program Code and maybe that I had 8 wonderful beta testers that helped me debug the thing! It was a lot of work with such a large code! If you need me to be clear on anything else, just let me know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stephena Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 This is all the info I need; I will model the properties after what you've provided for 'Princess Rescue'. EDIT: Information is now added to Stella, and will be in the next release. I also modified the Princess Rescue info to use CX26200 instead of simply 26200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr0st Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 At 38 years of age, one of my proudest achievements is helping test zippy,and get acknowledged in the manual, I have tons of ideas for games but no computing knowledge, so at least I have done one thing in the atari community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidus79001 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Is the manual available online in PDF format or images? I do plan on buying a boxed copy for the Atari Age store but would like to have the electronic manual as well to go along with ROM I downloaded for the game. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoliSempre Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Sprybug and Albert. You guys are the best. He's a brief video review on Zippy to show my thanks. It would have been longer but I haven't even beaten it yet. Don't judge too hard as I'm pretty new to Youtube.

AW127 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Short question here. This game-rom has 64kb and therefore needs a Harmony Encore to work, right? On my normal Harmony, i get the error-message "unrecognized file-type" when i try to load it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my normal Harmony, i get the error-message "unrecognized file-type" when i try to load it.Correct. The original harmony couldn't handle 64kb, which was one reason I regretably opted out of beta testing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Correct. The original harmony couldn't handle 64kb, which was one reason I regretably opted out of beta testing it. I was beta tester for zippy I didn't mind using stella at the time for testing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW127 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Thanks for the answer Kosmic Stardust. Reason to get a Encore version in the future maybe, i will see. Until now, apart from this game, luckily all my favourites also work on my normal Harmony too. But when more top 64kb-roms come out in the future, i think about an Encore. I have two Vader-A2600-consols here, then every console would have it`s own Harmony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi there, This is all the info I need; I will model the properties after what you've provided for 'Princess Rescue'. EDIT: Information is now added to Stella, and will be in the next release. I also modified the Princess Rescue info to use CX26200 instead of simply 26200. Would this interfere with Video Simon done in 2000 by Mark De Smet? His game is labeled as CX-26200 too. https://www.atari2600homebrew.com/video-simon.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, we get he's a bit seedy and have inferior products (in terms of both build quality and game content) than the AA store, but is a full on boycott really necessary?

You could make a suggestion for a new PAL60 conversion in the PAL60 thread for this game. Later addendum: Aaaah forget what i wrote. I misunderstood it (translation problem) and thought you mean the game when you wrote "it is ntsc only...", but you meant the firmware. Realized it, because the game already exists in PAL.

Video Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) I need to get this, of course with a box. I missed princess rescue and only get to emulate that, I'd love a real cart. What's next on the agenda? Got a Nintendo side scroller, now a Sega one. Time for an Atari one! Junk yard dog (who else had a side scroller mascot character? Maybe gex 3do?)
