    This topic made me post here for the first timesince 2011!

     

    I absolutly love the idea of $5 digital downloads.

    I wouldn't hesitate to buy a game for $5 if I knew that I could get a $5 credit towords buying the physical copy.

     

    DRM? I don't think it's practical on the 2600.

    This would have to be a GOG style honor system.

     

    You could try a sale promotion for titles to see if less than $5 ea would bring in more revinue.

    I think bundles would work better, though. ie. 5/$20.

     

    I'm excited about this!

    I just love my AV modded console from electronicsentimentalities.

    I've been playing Lady Bug and Starpath Frogger nonstop since it arrived!

    My projector and LCD TV both get along great with the video.

    My surround system makes the stereo output sound awesome.

     

    I ordered a second for my son for Christmas.

     

    I highly recommend Joe's work, provided he has the time to keep up with my purchases! :)

    It's weird seeing the 6 switch with no RF cable!

     

    I got this one from Electronicsentimentalities.com

    Thanks, LittleJoe!

     

    He hooked me up with a pause button exactly where I would have mounted it!

     

    I am just sad that I'm too tired tonight to get it hooked up!

     

    I plan to use it with my Optoma HD66 @ 120" with my Yamaha 5.1 surround.

     

    I am so excited!

    Why would you pirate games on such an old system?

     

    Quite a bit of the fun of retro systems is having the physical media to collect and display.

     

    If you just want free games, look to emulation.

    I was hoping to never have to post this... but apparently my personal Jaguar CD unit no longer boots any CDs. :( This is the only unit I've had in my personal collection after all these years, and it no longer boots any commercial or homebrew disc that I insert; I get the dreaded "question mark on disc" icon over and over.

     

    Does anyone here repair Jaguar CD units, or at least have some simple tips on things to check? The disc spins fine and the motor doesn't sound funny. I suppose I could do a full laser replace, but honestly I'd rather pay someone else to do it. :)

     

     

    Did you get it fixed, Carl?

     

    Your spindle may have moved the disc out of focus distance.

     

    Try Link's instructions.

    All you have to lose is 15 minutes of goof off time!

    Eventually the first cab I will be getting is a Galaga/Ms. Pac-Man. :)

    But, I don't know if I could stop at one though.

    Try this.

    I have one and it's a great space saver. They run about $100 for the board, plugs into any jamma harness game. Common mid to late 80's type. Also support the existing arcade monitor and VGA. No more pricey arcade monitors! Find a dead monitor machine on craigslist,stuff in a vga monitor and your golden!

     

    I have that board and love it too!

     

    We have 5 cabs now, but if I could choose one more it would be a sit down Tail Gunner!

    If I thought is was pointless to use expensive and outdated equipment to do things that can be done better and cheaper than Atari hardware, I wouldn't even bother visiting this site.

     

    Some people just love to troll!

    Unfortunately, the troll feasted well this time ;)

    The 130XL arrived today!

    I love it :lust:

     

    Everything seems so much smaller than I expected!

    The drive is far lighter than I would have thought possible as well!

     

    The cartridges are the coolest!

    I love the way they look and feel!

     

    I am hesitant to hook it up until the svideo cable gets here as I don't want a snowy RF disappointment.

    How is it installed?

    I don't see an SIO port.

     

    Do you select d1-d8 from menu?

    Do you just use one drive selection?

    Is there a size restriction for the CF card?

    Can the xex files, etc.. be selected and run from a menu?

     

    Sorry I have so many questions!

    I'll search for a wiki!

     

    Compact flash would be cool!

    Note that if something goes wrong and the smoke is let out of a component during testing, all the smoke must be collected, reassembled, and reinserted before the part will work again. It is often easier to replace the failed component.

     

    :D Awesome sense of humor!

     

    Are the board panel and chip kits going to be limited to one run?

     

    I haven't even gotten my first A8 in the mail yet, so I'm not sure I'm ready for this!

     

    Maybe in a couple months I'll be ready, but I don't want to miss out!
