Haha, this is one that perplexed me for decades. It wasn't until about a year ago when I finally saw the way Pisces was supposed to be interpreted. I kept concentrating on the white space in the center and not the black. I thought it was two fish that were blended together and the eyes were their tails. It also made me think that the one pixel that sticks out on the left was a glitch/mistake as I thought it was supposed to be a circular emblem. I also wondered what was up with that floating pixel below Capricorn's head. All of that said, I kinda like the sprites in the game. They've been etched into my brain ever since I played it as a little kid.

I might go ahead with the UAV mod then. Yeah, unfortunately, I missed the 7800GD - I didn't know about it until a couple of weeks ago. Not sure when another batch will be released but I'll definitely try to get it if I can. I probably won't use the RGB output though as I would have to hook it up to my PVM and I already have too many systems connected to it. I currently have an older Magnavox CRT for my pre-NES systems and it only has composite in. Maybe I'll replace it down the road with an s-video CRT if I come across one.

Thanks. Doesn't seem too bad. I'll probably still try to get someone else to do it if I can as I tend to have bad luck with soldering. That said, I was also debating on whether it would be worth it to go with a different composite mod. I heard the Longhorn mod isn't great and the UAV mod is the best. Do any of you know how the current Retrofixes mod I have installed right now compares to the UAV (assuming I don't use S-Video)? I haven't been totally satisfied with the Retrofixes mod as I get some moving diagonal lines and off-color blocky artifacts when there are large patches of solid color.

After finding out about the crash and the bargain bins as an adult, the one thing that still perplexes me was when I got Millipede for my birthday. It was 1988. My parents took me to Toys R Us to pick out a few birthday presents - I didn't have an NES yet (only a 2600). There were still Atari 2600 games there that weren't in any bargain bin. Now they were still discounted but not at ridiculously cheap prices like $1 to $5. There were a few games that were still over $20 including Millipede which was almost $30 - I remember my mom trying to convince me to get one or two of the $10 games instead, but I really wanted Millipede and eventually convinced her to get it. I believe the crash happened. I just find it odd that there were still 2600 games in that price range that long after the crash.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction regarding the audio issue I'm having on my 7800. It has a composite AV mod from around 10 years ago. Recently, after picking up Popeye, I discovered it doesn't seem to export Pokey/Hokey audio. I'm guessing it's because of the AV mod I had done. Looking at the pics, what all would need to be done to rectify this?

I got the 7800 ProSystem joystick back in 2016 and I still use it today for 2600 games. I also have an Edladdin twin stick controller, but I generally only use it for 7800 Robotron and a few other games that use two controllers.

I guess that's it. The HOKEY isn't compatible with AV modded 7800s? If so that's quite a disappointment.

I finally got to try my copy, however, unfortunately my 7800 doesn't seem to like the HOKEY chip. I only get the basic sound effects. No music.

There's also Bomb Bee. I haven't played them extensively so I'm not sure which ones would be better of the three.

Thanks! I ended up ordering it and I was able to download!

This is tempting, but I'm a bit apprehensive. I already purchased D2K Arcade through Carl's site last year, but he went MIA and I never received anything. Is IntellivisionCollector.com pretty good at supplying the ROMs after purchase? I've never ordered there before.

Thanks! I wasn't aware.

I'm actually getting an "Unrecognized file type!" error when I try to run the 2600-words-9-NTSC.bin build on my Harmony Cart. It's the first time I've ever gotten that error with a game rom. I copied the file from the SD card back to the computer and ran it in Stella successfully so I don't know what's up.

How about the 3DO and all of those FMV games?

I sent a donation to Carl for D2K a week ago, though now I wish I had seen this thread first. Looks like it's going to be a looooong wait.
