ChatGPT is learning, but it needs data. The more he speaks, the more we know. 🤣

If only you knew anyone who could make it happen (wink-wink, nudge-nudge)

Rampage is 3 player teamtap action!

Yes, Rich is quite ill, and out of work because of that. If you like his work you might consider supporting him https://www.patreon.com/richwhitehouse/posts

I think pin 20 is the one to be checked?

Thank you for trying!

My eternal thanks, Sir.

Looking for: Chip's Challenge Hard Drivin Road Blasters

I feel your pain, brother The single, most honest, but unbeatable answer to the questions above. @Cris1997XX The "ports" are far more than just ports. They often include alternative sound/music sets. Also, in some cases, code was optimised or shifted to the DSP to run faster, to make the experience better. Apart from that, the games are little works of art. They attest to the fact how skilled in the craft is the author. It must be serious fun being that good. And it provides a lot of entertainment for the rest of us. I don't see why so many people get all worked up about this. On the other hand, CyranoJ and his minions have more than a terrific track record in developing their own games, original and marvelous every one of them. As for the ports from other systems - that's a toughie. The ST line uses the same CPU as the Jag and that's it. So the code technically executes, but the input does not work and neither does the output. Graphics are fundamentally different between the systems, and so is the sound. So it is all about figuring out what was done on the ST and how to accomplish that on the Jag. That means knowing both systems to the core. And it should answer your question why there are no "ports" from other platforms - you really have to be able to read that (decompiled, undocumented) code quite fluently to even begin to contemplate "just porting" it. For me this is where I take the hat off to the meister, and enjoy the games.

Ah, that. Reading, I'm not too good at that it seems 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Looks like a standard Atari cart with roms swapped out. Could be anything. People were ripping the "bad" games all the time, until repros and skunk became available.

Just a guess - what color is the power LED?

Another vote for an EU source for these releases. The customs and shipping are starting to really annoy me...

Darn, your skill is unquestionable, Sir. So, the verdict? should I see the entire 256k or is 192k what I shoud expect here?

That's my fault entirely, the pics are really sloppy. Sorry about that.
