Good idea, thanks. If NTSC version of a game works, PAL60 version should work too, colors apart, until 2600+ automatically recognize the difference or an nterface is added to let people choose manually. Anyway, I would add PAL60, because nowadays many games use that format.

There were other activities, not only Atari computers related. Among other things here there's the schedule: https://www.atarimagazines.com/v2n7/Computercamp.html 9:00-10:25 a.m. Computer Instruction 10:30-11:10 Drama 11:15-12:00 Tennis 12:00- 1:55 Lunch - Rest Hour 2:00- 2:55 Computer Workshop 3:00- 3:35 Free Swim 4:00- 5:25 Softball Brochure: https://2warpstoneptune.com/2015/03/09/1982-atari-computer-camp-brochure/

I am glad you made Cave In sequel Steve!

Thank you very much, I really appreciated it!

It would be nice to use Squid Game graphics.

I watched the video this morning. Very interesting, above all the special version of Star Raiders.

My contribution for New Year's Disk 2024. 40 colors image taken from the cover of Planet Dead, an Italian graphic novel. NTSC version made with RastaSlide by @Sheddy. Philsan_Planet_Dead (PAL).xex Philsan_Planet_Dead (NTSC).xex

No hurry, take your time, thanks!

Awesome game and soundtrack, thanks!

Thanks! BTW, "(PAL50)" or just "(PAL)"? L.E.M.zip

Worked on Windows 10 64bit.

Updated without problems, thanks! My PAL60 game LEM still has wrong colors. If I am not wrong an UI is necessary to solve PAL60 issue.

If you'd make a similar image you could send it to @pps for

I would like to test it. Thanks to all people involved who have worked during holidays!

According to Berzerk Enhanced coder, he made NTSC, PAL50 and PAL60 versions of the game. Obviously nowadays for people who use real PAL hardware, PAL60 is the best option (speed like NTSC and correct colors - and very easy to program BTW).

With your tool I converted an image from PAL to NTSC: wow, perfect, thanks!

Thanks for you work. As you remember I was unable to enter letter L (FIL) on BC's. Congo Bongo, Defender, Missile Command: no problems. Qix: the second time I entered high score instead of characters there were garbage but I was able to enter high score and start again.

Nowadays you can make a single NTSC/PAL60 cart and change TV standard from menu (eg Draconian) or difficulty switch (Thrust).

First of all, thank you very much John for the fun you gave us. I would like to add that nowadays almost everyone can program simple games on 2600 thanks to batariBasic and helpful AtariAge community. You don't need to be a genius like you and other coders. Obviously to make nice games you need to be a good progammer even today, but coding with emulators and integrated development environments is a lot easier than in the old days. I also love the fact many games are released for free, you can play them on emulators or on real hardware with multicarts, and if you'd like, you can buy beautiful boxed editions. Another thing I like is that many homebrews are available in PAL60 format: games have the same speed of NTSC and NTSC>PAL conversion is easy, you only need to adjust color values. There are even games (for example Draconian) that let change TV format in titlescreen, you don't even need to sell two different versions. Looking forward to see other games of yours!

Really strange, loaded again, this time with long Option press to disable Basic, L not working.

@tschak909 thanks, I will try again.

I have a problem with letter L, nothing happens when I press it. As you can see I had to enter FIF instead of FIL. Keyboard works.

I load files from my PC wirelessly, therefore I use MicroSD card rarely. On my old FujiNet it is not easy to remove the card. Did later revisions improve this aspect? Perhaps it depends on cases, not PCB.

The free cover is a very nice idea, I use it. The only problem is that with cables connected it doesn't cover the console perfectly. Cuts in the back would have needed.

Cartridges (or roms) load instantly and Atarimax Maxflash cartridges can save high scores too (for example Pac-Man 2012) or game saves.
