Best new tube TV available for 2600 use today?
awace replied to tremoloman2006's topic in Atari 2600
my old roomate has a toshiba and in the remote control menu you can turn the internal speakers on or off just get a universal remote with the circle menu and the ok button inside for the menu's and this should let you in .. good luck. I just got a dtv rca dta800b1 I wish it had volume and ch3 in but it does control the tv's volume and power but mostly i use it on a old computer panasonic 13 inch military grade monitor and the ATARI LOOKS awesome cause its got no tuner to recive herring bones.. interferance. oh i forgot to add this note I have a 19 inch wells gardner Arcade wiz wor original arcade cabinet screen witch died and had the one single blue line but i found someone on ebay who had a 13 incher listed and asked him if he knew how to fix a k4600 series monitor and he said come over and sold me a chassis for cheap It was a good deal and now it looks brand new exept for the klax and the garwar burn in from the wiz wor and the klax games it had NOW i changed its orintation to vertical and it works great I wish i could get composite to cga and vs versa cause those arcade monitors are great.. tv's are great too if you use enough chokes on the video cables or rf cables you can sometimes get great atari pictures w out interfering w the other sets in the house. ENJOY. I also like the 708 blue on yellow transparent telecaptions of the new tv tuners . this also makes me happy cause the thrift stores and the dumpster at the apt keep comming up w completely great color tv's cheap I just snagged a zenith 13 or 14 inch witch just needed a coil resoldered and a screw removed from the inside and now it works great nothing beats playing atari on a tv or really good composite computer.. A long time ago in a galaxy far far a way in 198x my parents were away on vacation and happend to call In the middle of a atari 800 4 player mele asteroids game and my dad HEARD the sound asteroids overload pop noise and said GET THAT DAMN atari off my big screen tv !!!!!!!!! I said It was hooked to the front of the vcr and it will get instantly onhooked as soon as game is over w no burn in. -

I don't think I ever use the remote. Come to think of it, I believe you can thoroughly program that brand of TV from the front panel. There are many that require a remote to program. Where the problem lies is that Dynex sets usually won't accept a universal remote. If you do depend on the remote and it gets lost, you're screwed. I worked on 'em in my job in a nursing home...just the place where people are gonna need the remotes. whell as far as the remote you can get a GE universal for $4 at wallmart at least in MN you can get one that cheap hm I have a dynex router and i think its BEST buy item so mabie they would have a universal remote for it I think I remember the box for the dynex said best buy on it if its a hotel type tv then you need a specail remote I might still have a bag of hotel remotes someone gave me. otherwise mabie the cable remote would work. check this out i found this on google.................. ......................... anyone that has purchased a Dynex TV from Best Buy I found remote code (720) works. ... Dynex Remote code. this thread has 1 replies and has been viewed 331 times ... Cablevision Cable Forum,.................... Comcast Cable Forum . i bet that would help.. as I still have my Zenith glow in the dark remote witch wont accept more codes cause i FILLED its c-mos I can scan codes w power and ch up but I cant change the ones in the remote I hope that code works for youre tv .... Good LUCK. also some times like my tv you have to push volume up and down simultainously to get menu .. Also my memmorex 20 incher is like a sharp it has the hidden remote control menu so i can super roast the contrast I can even screw w the vertical size witch some times i like to strectch letter box but sometimes the bottom rolles over it self.. anyway enjoy. on atari 800 not using svideo short the snd gnd to chroma and the colors roast fully for missile command!! -
CHOMP THE SWORD to the bottom left and down at an ANGLE then sneak it off screen but still holding it then KILL dragon by surprise ALSO on fb II if the key is the dragon color its afraid of it too!!!!!

Thank you, I will try this. What is Vpp? And how are the 4 banks of a 16K rom switched? (1234 -> 4321 or 2143?) ITS not VCC I THINK ITS THE PROGRAM PIN ANYWAY ALL HE IS SAYING IS YOU NEED TO GET A PIGGIE BACK SOCKET AND WIRE WRAP TO TRICK THE ATARI INTO THINKING ITS A 2764 IN A 27128 PACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK. is it intel bix hex or ascii or binary I had 1 succesfull burn of my adam asteroids aw crockrocks but the power went off just after my burner said over current I acidently put the atari cart in backwards then the whole block went off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a fuse in a green transformer blew I HOPE IT WASNT THE atari cart But the bruner kept saying over current good think i was using the UPEEN s battery back up system mabie it saved the burner anyay I can send files but forgot witch way to send them do i need win95 terminal or bin to hex converter or something like that i forgot its been a while I did copy snoopy again but thats just copying chips not getting them from hackomatic II from the laptop to the burner and into the flashbackII cart mod! I only have the ONE testing cart I got from someone here w freiide nightmare avatar anwyay I was trying to get my modified coke wins onto a rom and forgot how to send it to the burner it keeps saying incorrect file /.. happy holidays merry christmas happy hannuka seasons tideings and to all a good new year .

CHECK OUT MY pm TO YOU i GOT new MS PACMAN PCB W dut BOARD real MS PACMAN NOW I HAVE PAC-MAN Ms.PAC-MAN AND MISS PACMAN PLUS ALL Midway versions. I would like to try to run a 2600 maze in a real cabinet I still have a pacmame cd rom burn w PACnam6 and age editor i dont under stand the key to the way the maze is represented in the age editor but someone knows what those chunks represent and can make pacman mazes just as easly as a pole postistion construction set witch STILL EXISTS in LEIBERMAN COMPANYS 's MUSIC ARCADE eepromming room! .... they also have a Asteroids I dont know if it has been GOLD PLATED YET.. they could do that WE in Minnesota have a lot of Atari and other pcbs to reclaim the GOLD off of like 386 chips are PURE gold pins!. atari carts mostly have gold plating on them . the game I like the best by atari is DELUXE asteroids cause the sound is from the 800 its coool. fire truck was cool but hard to steer . space war was cool and the sit down space game w the airplane yoke was the coolest game ever but the yokes broke and operators wanted room big mistake i would have kept it but you know one bad coin counter will blow up every game hooked to it including super breakout or pong. PONG is the only HOME game you can add a quarter slot to and not start game untill you insert coin cause the start button is on when you turn game on and it opens the connection unhooking button to start game and when the quarter lets go of the credit it starts its cool.

Here is what i think YOU should have multiple versions of MAME if you want to play w better speeds. if youre playing and older game then use the older version of mame like asteroids runs great and sounds REAL on mame 32.v034!!! but golden t4 plays better on version 103 or 120 i like those versions but m32 v067 is the one i like I also had one version boot to freedos and a compact flash to ide converter directly into mspacman w out moving parts It takes a while to boot but i did it w out moving parts NOW IF I COULD just get sandisk to make a rca lyra 32M compact flash w 24Mhz crystal into a 16G stick for $5 then i would beable to have windows xp boot into a flash drive! the current compact flash drives are slower and only have 16Mhz crystals .. anyway try newer versions of mame32 try killarea or other versions of mame32 made for youre video card and try to download open gl drivers or download DIRECTX SDK from msdn downloads ! directx can fix most GORF errors I used to have that game crash a lot untill i redownloaded directx so if youre mother board has DRIVERS then download them THIS IS WHY ITS BETTER TO make a computer from scratch instead of one w a image w out motherboard directx drivers . if you have a built in nvidia then download the new drivers these always work better than ones that windows have they have more gl drivers and directx witch makes mame run better also uncheck keep aspect ratio and pick 16:99 then you can pick d3d and you should see an improvment. also use seal directx for sound its better!

I slept threw or was it thru ENGLISH CLASS I HATE PUKTATION..........

whell if you need it here is there address.......... www.activisionvalue.com Activision 7800 Equitable Dr # 200 Eden Prairie, MN 55344 (952) 918-9400 Good luck. PS. I delivered a package there as a currier once its just a bunch of cubicles and the lunch room has 5 video games. one of them looked gutted!!!!!!!!!... they told me they were going to make a mame cabinet. I played pitfall II on the 800 and got to the second game inside the game after you get diamond and the other trinkets but never got no message.. i DID when making that delivery of an envelop I did ask them about pitfall II and she said OH yeah I remember that old game I told her about the frogs that moved on level II and I said is there more and how to i get to level II w out cheating by opening the atari400 door chomping the switch then unplugging cart but leving the left side in then unhooking only the right side then pushing in witch disconnected enough of the cart to allow me to GO THREW THE WALL where you were not subposed to bable to then fall down one level making it possible to get to levels not possible. then she said the reason you couldnt get there w out cheating is because the level in witch you can jump higher is the level you wait two bat passes and wait for BALLON . I didnt know there even was a hot air ballon to jump on !!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway When i got home i waited and shure enough a ballon came then i was able to play w out having to cheat. then I found a pitfall II cart on Ebay for the 2600 cause i had one but blew it up trying to solder it to a wrong revision flashback II.. then I got the replacement used pitfall II for the 2600 so i have one for the 800 bad label and a good label 2600 version. CHECK THIS OUT one day using the 2600 sears arcade II basicly a 2600 with funky led switching joystick inputs so you can leave two paddles ( 4 total usable paddles) and two joysticks in all the time then just push paddle or joystick led switches to switch.. anwyay i was using a power pack and remembered someone did something stupid and i was wondering if it would work or what it would do so i hooked two power packs to the input at the same time NOT FOR MORE THAN 1 minnute as this over heats power packs and is a fire hazard.. anyway I switched to a selectoramic IMA power pack w switching inputs 1.5v to 12v started w 9v witch i assumed the atari needed to run but I dont even know what the actuall input is I assume 9v dc is ok since it just changes it to 5v anwyay!!!!!!! but the cool thing is when playing atari 2600 pitfall II the music is the same as the 800/400 version exept only one sound channel still mono of course but when you change power to more power like runnning off a 9v battery and add a power pack the sound music SPEEDS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was like BLOWN AWAY wholly crap the atari changes speed acording to the POWER GOING IN.. I had to ask a roomate to acknowledge this cause I just could not beleive it but YUP it was REAL when you run pitfall II at a lower voltage and up it from like 9v to 12v the music speeds up. I DONOT SUGGEST DOING THIS TO YOURE ATARI 2600 cause you will blow up youre 7805 voltage regulator!!! be carefull what you run into the atari 2600 since i was switching from 7.5v to 9v it was ok I assume like when i was in 10th grade you could easaly run a atari 2600 for hours on a 6v lantern battery just hook to the capacitor and remember to unhook when done cause the capacitor is after the power switch and even so its conencted UNLESS YOU HOOK TO THE POWER SWITCH witch might not work cause youre running the voltage regulator witch sucks power!!! . ALSO I did run the stereo test w tank and it is actually in stereo the left tank comes out of the left speaker and the right tank comes out of the right speker witch is why all atari 2600 older cases came w two speaker holes but no plastic to mount them cause they just ran sound into ch3 or 4 . good thing too!!!!!! now all my atari's are now converted to composite and audio cause of the 2009 tv crock comming up I decided to make all my atari's plug & play. the sears arcade II still has ch3 I never converted it . OH before i forget when i was running a 32 in one atari pal cart I hooked it up to my computer tv tuner and switched the tv tuner computer tv tuner to pal and it ran w out rolling that was cool cause i was running ch3 in US CH 3 in and chomping it as a pal signal cause the game was pal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the computer tv tuner was pal it worked... cool huh. under normal composite video it dont work! PS.. SORRY ABOUT THE LONG RALMBLY POST I WAS TIRED AND UP ALL NIGHT LOADING ALL ATARI BIN FILES TO A LIGHT SCRIBE...

Yes it is a real pacman pcb w a canadian mother board i got when i bid on two bad non working as is pac-man midway pcbs on ebay I decided to rob the roms to see what the 5e+ 5f+ ment then replaced ones on board then found out it changed the pacman into mspacman but game was still pacman!!!!!!! then i put 5e 5f in backwards!!!! this caused the whole game to boot into japaneese graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this blew me away then i put them back and decided to see what happend if i removed all other roms exept for the 5e+ and 5f+ roms and it almost changed it to mspacman but was screwey then i deciced to install the weird daughter board witch came w it and viola i got miss pacman plus © 1982/1983 MIDWAY .. then i got interested in © so i looked in the pattents and found MIDWAY made miss packman plus namco NOT FOR HIRE... meaning it was an all MIDWAY HACK NO NAMCO INVOLVED since it was a MIDWAY PCB MIDWAY COULD NOT GET SUED but anyway i think NAMCO JUST TOLD MIDWAY DONT EVEN THINK OF IT so they probably stopped and instead made more galaga cabinets ... anyway yes they turn red and then blink red blue before turning back into monsters.. also the game is way harder w out a original pacman cabinet control the one i have w switches is way harder but still works.. the mazes are exactly the same as the nintendo mame version you speak of but this one has the correct fruit.. also i saw a artical of a real machine on google but never saw a actuall machine but still am happy i own one .. PS.. one day two years ago my cousin was over and i was showing off and changed from pacman to MISS PACMAN + and blew up one of the 5f chips this sucked finnaly about 1 year later asking everyone on ebay about making a rom and i finnaly found someone who knew exacltly wtf I was talking about and got a replacement rom... I like the version you have If you want a copy of the one i have i could give you the 5f 5e roms but I dont know weather the daughter board wouuld be same i think its differnt!!!!!!!!! but that dont prevent me from copying the roms on the dut board!. anyway mabie if you had the original code you could steal the fruit but I tried it with switching one of the 5f or 5e chips and the fruit goes back to normal.. you still did a good job. I can send more pics if you want. here only problem is its 35,000 or 65,000 for extra mspacman that sucks.

I have an actual Miss pacman + mother board w the actual miss packman + roms in it and a special daughter board. it starts out on a weird maze and has diet cola blunts and differnt fruit.. anyway I can send a picture if it lets me

1981 with Namco! If game is on coin play, insert a coin(s) to add a credit. Press any start button. The "start" screen will display, allowing you to choose Ms. Pac-Man or Galaga. Make the following moves with the joystick: UP, UP, UP DOWN, DOWN, DOWN LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT P1 (START!!!!!!!!!!!!!) If you did it right, you'll START PLAYING PACMAN The "start" screen will display, allowing you to choose Ms. Pac-Man or Galaga. Make the following moves with the joystick: UP, UP, UP DOWN, DOWN, DOWN LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT If you did it right, you'll see Blinky- the red "ghost"- turn from red to pink ("Pinky"), and hear a corresponding series of tones from the game ("extra life" tone). @ THIS POINT THEN ENTER THE SETTINGS MENU W DIP OR BUTTON! THEN REBOOT THEN LEAVE IN MSPACMAN/GALAGA MODE THEN RE ENTER DIP MODE CAUSE ITS NOT THE SAME AS PACMAN. GOOD LUCK! Press either 1 player or 2 player Ms. Pac-Man button to play regular Pac-Man. The regular Pac-Man game will display and play on the screen.

I use charcoal lighter fluid for charcoal grills it stinks but makes stickers guey and will eveaporate . I would assume it might be as fustrating as that Et cart looked as I tried to remove a label w FLUX REMOVER and it sucked made a HUGE mess and was not worth it .
-
removed lame post again. I think once you enter up up down code and get into pacman you can enter dip switch mode once in pacman to set pacmans dip settings...? I dont know i dont have a reunion pcb.
