Atarinvader

Goodbye? You're leaving? *a tender kiss blown Aimees way*

ahhh, but there was a question mark at the end. quote Maybe inside of Stan there is a hurt child and deep scares. Reading to deeply Atarinvader?

Sorry dude I don't know how I missed that one. The thing with eBay is that its one of those websites that make you think 'I wish I'd thought of that...', another example is CafePress.

"Dear Joe, How did I manage to miss this thread? Will" hmmm...shall I okay this section for Atarinvader? I'll say...yes siree. Stan, if I go down to my basement and find my Jr covered in wet-band aids and jam again there is gonna be trouble. And have you been wearing my sisters shoes? Aimee, is there any chance that we could patch things up? I know you've been putting it about a bit recently, with all your 'free love' and this...thing...with that beast, but I can forgive you. But, the question is can you forgive me? Come to Paris with me this weekend, I've got a little penthouse suite over there, oh and a small vineyard on the outskirts. What do you say? BTW I'm gonna get the next newsletter out soon with the new 'Ask Larry' section...

quote hmmmm... moan moan moan moan moan moan just joking wid' ya son. BTW am I getting some more articles from you or not?

Your parents gave you a pack of smokes for your 13th Birthday? All I got for mine was a bloody Game Boy... I wish I was going to CGE or Philly... Anyone wanna buy me a plane ticket? BTW those of you that are gonna be at Philly should look out for special Atarinvader merchandise that's gonna be given out to some lucky lucky people.

When should I be expecting to be reading my copy Russ?

I'm 18 going on 40, born 17/1/84 I also thought that KingAtari was much older than that! and watch out for Aimee, she'll snap your heart in two. I think that I automaticaly assume that Atari collectors are 30 somethings that live with their mothers and browse teensinpanties.net, like Stan. Stroxalarb so your 18 female from Australia? Why don't you head on over to off topic and we can talk sometime

This forum should be called eBay moaners not eBay madness. If there is one thing I hate, its got to be collectors that moan about eBay, how its not fair, how its jacking up the prices, ruining the scene etc etc etc For a start, you don't get more FAIR than eBay, its an auction. Things go for their straight price, somebody obviously thinks that an iteam is worth the final price! If you want someone to blame for jacking up prices then you should blame AtariAge or DP for their 'rarity' guides, people treat these things like bibles, especialy eBay buyers (and sellers), and even (so I have heard), some second hand dealers. eBay is not a tool of evil, its a tool of good and light, helping people to get their hands on carts and hardware that THEY want and can't find anywhere else. Admitedly there are some crazy auctions just see Disturbing Auctions for proof of that, but please people lets all hold hands, unite as an Atari nation and stop f**king moaning!

There will BE NO Jelly Beans. All I ever hear is: 'Can I go outside? Can I 'ave some Jelly Beans?'... And you won't be going outside either. Remeber what happened last time? I had to slip that pimp 100 bucks not to kill you

TriggerTheHun, I operate a similare system at Atarinvader.com. If either Stan, Osmeriod or KingAtari can beat my BMX Airmaster score at the end of the week, I let them out of my basment to roll around in the mud, or play with the other children. I find the sun does them good. It rarely happens though.

There were more holes in that story than in one of your dolls Stan... Thats it! You can never write for Atarinvader again. You had nobody fooled, however you are somewhat the fool, an April fool if you will.

This dude is very welcome! Just try not to inflate Stans ego, otherwise he'll start writing articles correcting every other Atarinvader article that hes not writen... just a'jokin' wid ya Stan. Nice to see some fresh enthusiasim. I know exactly the feeling of getting a few friends round, few brews and some VCS. Magic

You can do it one of two ways; as mitch said, and set MAME32 to allow joystick selection or you can change around your autoexe.bat so a DOS version of MAME runs straight off from start-up without even opening windows, thats how I do it with the cabinet I'm making at the moment.

This is the point I got stuck on my portable, because its so expensive. The pocket TV's on eBay go quite cheap though. [ 04-01-2002: Message edited by: atarinvader ]

Stan, the filthy minded little boy, did a review of all the 'adult' games for the 2600 on a website called Atarinvader or something like that....

There isn't much in the way of gameplay...

When we get the new software, will all our posts be reset? I wanna chance to catch some of you guys up.

You've tried the mod on a PAL sixer before? It uses all the same chips as a Jr model, but its just layed more neatly, so it should, in therory, work. I've looked up the buffer in RS and it seems that its just a basic non-inverting buffer, and that the signal is too weak after, which is why you can't get a signal, I'm gonna look into it a bit more.

I'm working on one as we speak. I think I can get audio from the junction of C210 and R209 and composite from pin 12 connecting the main and top board. I'll report my findings later tonight...

quote: Originally posted by Radfoo: Have you looked at the extra PAL circuit (left of stella on a junior), you might find you need to add somthing from there (pin 20 maybe!?). I'm using a 6 switcher, so its all different. Isn't pin 20 just +5V? So what exactly does it do when added to the luma, sync and chroma? I'm gonna try and get a 'scope and see if I can get a buffered signal tommorow. [ 03-24-2002: Message edited by: atarinvader ]

Radoof: I've been trying to get a composite signal on my 6 switcher from after the video buffer. I though it would be cleaner than combining the signals off the Stella chip. After the buffer the 3 luma signals, sync and chroma combine before going to the modulator, but I can't get anything at this point (pin 12 connecting the top and main board). Any idea why?

Is there a mod for a PAL 6 switcher?

How about: Did you know Atarinvader.com is an excellent source of reviews, articles and startegy guides for the 2600! lol

I'm not sure if it is definetly the tube. Thats all that I was told by the guy that had it. Getting hold of the tube shouldn't be a probably if its still being made or was quite commonly used.
