Tempest Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I've reviewed a new version of Saboteur. This version is very early and has many differences from the final. Be sure to check out the 'Tiny Thief'. http://www.atariprotos.com/2600/software/s...oteur/52083.htm Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Csonicgo Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I just wish we could see the roms of these.... it just doesn't seem too exciting without being able to experience what you see.[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I just wish we could see the roms of these.... it just doesn't seem too exciting without being able to experience what you see.[/i] I would say it wil most likely get dumped before long. Doesn't it take a development system to extract a rom from an assembled board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it take a development system to extract a rom from an assembled board? Not in this case, you can just take the EPROM's out of the sockets and dump them with your EPROM programmer. I am willing to bet $$$ that he already dumped it anyway. Otherwise he would not have been able to take those emulator screenshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 I see, he's just holding out on us Well yes and no. Yes I have dumped all the prototypes in my possession, and no I haven't given many of them out (except to some people who asked nicely and had a good reason for wanting a particular rom). I've released all the games I had that were previously unreleased (Mind Maze, 5200 Menu, Red vs. Blue, etc.), but have held back on releasing betas of released games. To be honest, for the most part I don't think that people would be interested in them. I may go ga-ga over a Jungle Hunt proto that's missing the sound and only has two levels, but I doubt many other people would care. And when someone actually does care, they usually e-mail me and I usually give them the rom. So far only two or three people have e-mailed me for specific roms. I don't put the roms on my webpage for fear of legal trouble (after that whole Planet of the Apes thing, I'm a bit weary of the legal system), and because I don't want people to start slapping beta images on eprom boards and start selling them for profit as genuine prototypes (ala Best Electronics). I guess there's also a bit of "I paid dearly for these protos, I want to hold onto them for a bit" as well, but that's certainly not the main driving factor. These reasons may sound silly or stupid, but that's the reason. I still may put the roms up in the future. I have to talk to some people about it first. I generally like to get the programmers permission first before posting any rom (when possible of course). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
