  1. Also played pacman score started at KEY level scroe 34,370 Good thing i DIDNT POWER OFF! cause score is still in attract mode.. Pinky ambushed me again..

  2. got about 30,192 point on Missile command was the chocolate board that made me remember fix DIN PLUG.. pushed s and 9 I love the colors on missile command...

  3. Just played Missile command got to chocolate board then relized needed to make jumper from pin 1 to 4 on composite DIN PLUG now color is roasted again!

  4. stupid wireless keybaordddddd

  5. New I have 1 flashback 22600's one is 6 switcher was pal untill i SWITCHED OUT BAD RF MOD TO US !!! :) and one 2600 changed into flashback II w cart slot..and one super pong and Atari800 1 810 and lots of carts!!!

  6. Found 2 extra FlashbackII shells and $6.95 Flashback II found at thrift store in NEW HOPE MINNESOTA Left Joystick for Customer Who needed it more than I did!!!

  7. Mild abrasives and acetates will take off the lettering, but the peroxide has no effect on it whatsoever, so you have no worries at all. Purple SPARKLE is the best Windex type product I know YOU sometimes have to RINSE it off w windex ifyou use to mutch cause its a degreaser but it works great.. it wont fix coloring but will clean all the dirt off and make it look so clean the coloring will look clean..
  8. I found the connector and a pinout.. I found the pin out and the connector I had DONOT CONNECT LUMINA TO SOUND CONNECT IT TO COMPOSITE connect pins 1 and 4 to gether if you want more color Just solder pins 1 and 4 together and viola super color if you want you can hook pins 1-5 w out 4 if that dont work !!!!!.. pin 4 being composite video.
  9. use din plug for color but tie chroma and lumina to sound + then use video out composite you must plug sound to tv and video to tv for color to work... its not svideo but color works..
  10. Those arent resistors. They are capacitors.. The only reason they are there is to make the 130xe meet rediculous FCC regulations concerning RF noise/interference.. Those caps were only installed on north american machines, and they screw up high-speed SIO operation.. REMOVE ALL OF THEM.. Don't worry,, just get a pair of dykes and clip them off..... If you don't, you are asking for flaky SIO operation.. Most NTSC XF551 drives actually wont work correctly even in normal SIO speed operations until you remove those capacitors from the 130xe SIO port.. the funny thing is it looks like they were trying to stop interferance comming IN TO THE SIO SO DUMB whell i couldbe wrong too!!.. the think that makes me FEURIOUS seeing those caps in the 1st place is how the hell do they expect the tape recorder to even work w that crock there you could never get a old tape to load w that crock shorting the lines out to Ground!.. wow
  11. IH yeah Before I forget ALways add a small amount of solder when desoldering to reflow and reinvigerate the solder as rotten solder never comes off .. ALSO most chips are about 550'F or SO i have a 600 or 700 degree F soldering iron but some times I turn it off right before desoldering its weird cause if you solder a lot you know when its cooling down solder seems to STICK MORE also come off easyer .. I also have figured out having a lot of refreshed sponge w COLD water helps maintain that IDEAL temprature needed.. I usually add a BIG BLOB OFNEW SOLDER THEN LET IT COOL THEN whip solder iron on sponge then put it to blob then desolder with solder sucker the one i got at MICROCENTER for $1.99 was and still is the BEST DESOLDERING sucker i have ever used its metal w a white plastic tip works great .. sometimes I will re add solder and remove it 3 times waiting 3 minnutes between doing it untill i get a good resolder to be able to wiggle the pin sometimes it can be a real bitch to remove chips I always like to replace chips w sockets.... ANYWAY GOOD luck on the VIDEO but the chroma lumina not being connected to video and or sound is why you have or had washed out color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I figured this out cause Missile command pushing s and smart bombs level 9 smartbombs only till i get at least 1 Million points looks so mutch better w COLOR roasted!!.. I almost forgot this is for composite only and the color wont come on untill you plug the audio cable on.. AS SOON AS I GET THE CABLE BACK FROM PARENTS HOUSE ILL SHOW HOW I HOOKED IT UP..
  12. Whell as far as I have shorted together then tied to the sound and for some reason the color worked better. The Cable I use is a normal DIN PLUG AND ONLY HAS 4wires comming out of it 2 rca 100 foot white old radio shack cords so in a sence there is only 2 outoputs this leads me to belive i had shorted one of the luma chroma together or one to video and the other to AUDIO + some how this made the color work great The cable is at parents house but next time I go there ill look at and send diagram on how i wired it.
  13. I just figured out how to get a paddle to work w usb........RIP APART MY USB JOYSTICK AND SOLDER p1 and p2 to the 2nd ananlog joystick pots!!!! and solder fire buttons to button 1 and 2

  14. I like that You used the b/w switch as I needed it to change from built in and cart mode on flashback II rev D anyway I used the ch3/4 switch for b/w since I used composite video OUT!!! witch is cool becuase I put my flashback into a old 2600 case and it looks cool .. I like that you need to push fire on every level to start game in case you need to take a ''rest break'' or the phone rings right when pokey is on youre tail. ******************************* UPDATE 5:05AM JUNE 3 FRIDAY 2011 ******************************* I would never expect arcade movements since noone can reproduce real memmory chips in an emulator the bus on a real arcade machine lets you FEEL every chip in unison we all know playing old school arcade pacman is not the same as new pacman!.. ps I snipped the 7.5v power pack back off and left the 5v to the c29 cause wire got hot! /\ on arcade pacman SO WHAT if it takes 1 minnute to warm up.. at least it wont burst into flames .. i ALWAYS TURN OFF OR UNPLUG AT NIGHT IT HAS A real SLOT TUBE... SWITCH ON FB IS ONE THROW BUT DUAL POLE 3 ON ONE SIDE AND 3 ON OTHER W COMMON IN MIDDLES ONE JUMPER GETS GNDED WILE OTHER GETS OPEN BUT THERE IS OPENS WHEN WIGGLING SWITCH SEEMS NOT TO DO DAMAGE CAUSE ITS NOT POWER I THINK IT SIWTCHES A10 OR 12 CANT REMEMBER ANYWAY CART STAYS POWERED ON CAUSE YOU CAN see INTERFERANCE WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSE i WILL WHEN GET SETTLED MOVING WILL TRY MSHACK ON BURN TO SEE IF IT WORKS. PPS THANKS FOR THE intracate gui DESCRIPTIONS.. Nukey. also I Just FIGURED OUT MY PS3 USB JOYSTICK WORKS W stella!!!!!! on both machines ps3 and xp ON REGULAR COMPUTER AND JUST REALIZED VOLUME ROM LOADER AND MENU OPTIONS CAN BE USED SO I CAN SCROLL ROMS AND SELECT THEM AND PLAY EVEN TURN VOL DOWN FOR SLEEPING I love that the buttons swap on ps3 to regular usb now if i just could understand programming hmm letS SEE . DOES THE 255 LEVEL CLEAR TO 256 OR DOES IT LOCK UP?.. ILL TRY IT.
  15. edit youre posts !.. GOOD Luck. PS just live with it life goes on..
  16. Scootiecat its the game cube!!!!!!!!! bad ground on rf box hook to vcr using RCA composite NEVER USE RF if possible

  17. Use hand sanitizer to remove stickers works good!.

  18. Whell even though i had some long rants last five years I FIXED the DELUXE space invaders ORIGINAL ARCADE CABINET complete w unknown serial # original WELLS GARDNER black and white sylvania TUBE still works need caps for underneeth the chasses .. hope i dont lose mounting screws when moving.. the original space invaders cabinet w the orignal SICT number from cabinet MIDWAY number 0201 I finnaly figured out that the two bottom left chips on sound board can get STUCK and the lower lm3900's can get it stuck its weird but after learning the non delux board had 4 bad lm3900's and those have differnt sounds each.. I finnaly got ALL SOUNDS working but the coin counter is gutted cause i broke it when i was 9 or 10 years old at A Bally® Co. on the Glass hmm i need clips!!! .. now as far as TAX on a coin counter youre RESTURANTS profits are based on youre GROSS YEARLY profits anyway and the COIN COUNTING machine at the bank uses LCD coin counter not a mechanincal one just like ATARI TETRIS KLAX witch use NVRAM SPACE INVADERS could not remember coin info but could display it on the screen!.. NOW A BRAZE kit may now work since i found some long pins on those PC104 VIDEO boards and i can always open coin door and play VCR into the RCA plug I added to the cabinet on the screen so i can play Atari when i want .. OH i almost forgot it sometimes still shows the DOT when you shut it off.. also at the bank yesterday I laughed cause there so called new fangled coin counter was replaced by the older lcd one not the one w the SCREEN TUBE !! making me think there is a connection to mechanical coin counters and LCD coin counters or just using that exact coin counter not the on in the game cause the taxes are based on youre profits if you spend $300 on pcbs on ebay just to find 3 working lm3900's and only get one to work and you have 50¢ in coin box I see nothing to TAX.. although if JAPAN ran out of quarter sized YEN in 1979/1980 then LCD coin counters would probably work better but NVRAM would work even better but when you gamble on a 3 line slot machine and put 4 quarters in every time you put $ in and once and a while one comes back but you obvibously lose 1 quarter every bet but once and a while get it back DO YOU care NO as long as the odds on the machine are 75 not 55% witch depends on the c-mos revision.. the only thing you have to worry about is HEAT sink paste drying up THE ps3 has almost a half cap full on the mini toothpaste size tube for each cpu but a mame cabinet using a cpu needs checked every 3 months! especially on a DELL the good news is when i DELIVERED A enevlope to ACTIVISON once somewhere in MN I asked if anywone remembered ATARI 800 Pitfall and she said I remember that game I said I got a Cart from Good will cause I didnt have the $ to get one from K-mart when it came out and Told them How i didnt have the INstuction manual. and how i had used a drywall screw to chomp the power on the 800 then figured out if i put cart in at angle and pushed it forward it would connect or disconnect and cause the wall to fail and screen to turn to chunks the sound scrambles untill you hit a void(entity) and lost points then of course the music changes and you go back to last RED marker anyway i didnt know about the Ballons untill my freind said dont you know you can JUMP an catch ballons i said I would just try to jump down then one time someone said catch the ballon i said what ballon and they said wait for the bats then jump for ballon on that screen you can jump higher then you can jump down from right side to left side to diamond chamber .I finnaly did that and got both guys then a NOTHER LEVEL OPENED UP and it had a whole nother chips worth of levels I was like wow it took 2 weeks of play just to do that I did it like last year and it took less time cause i used the save state to cheat on emulator . but I did figure out if you short out birdie king sound it scrambles the sound but if you go out of bounds it corrects sound but gets croupt like you sometimes cant get into hole it thinks its not RED colored then once you get the QUARTER NOISE to work it corrects that.. hmm I think its time to check pump 7's tape head opto siolator witch checks if card is all the way in.
  19. If i upgrade the ps3 to 3.?? I wouuld just probably buy a atari antholigy game anyway.
  20. Just remembered something oh just to let SONY KNOW if i wanted a movie i wouuld get it from WALLMART NEW with the cool jewel case!.. anyway just remembered this i still have my macroscrubber!! and remembered this. if you have a psp and atari800 this http://psp.akop.org/atari800/ reminded me of Moonpatrol on atari8bit if you push left up and fire fire fire keep firing andd then push 1 or 0 i cant remember but it starts a demo but w sound and repetes ... a nother thing in atari800.exe if you have like 2 shared mirred disks and before you run atari800.exe you in dos using dosbox it even worked!!!!! attrib *.* -r -h -s -a /s being that dosbox is in the subdir that youre atari/atr and atari800.exe is in if youre on say c: the /s would root all dirs out from that attribing the write protect since most atari800 emulation roms would be coming from youre cdrom burn if you wanted to modify a actual atari basic game or file you actually typed in youre self or created and wanted to fart around w emulation and save files to .atr you ave to share w everyone and system and copy security e everyone on the .atr file you want to modify. say the DUEL program me and my brother typed in from COMPUTE or byte cant remember then me and him and some help from my dad and his math class I changed the explosions to sprite in my password protected . atari basic disk w S.P.A.C.E menu program from Eugene, Oregon disk of the month atari interest group Saint paul atari space group disk of the month menu program witch . . I modified to fit more filenames and changed the disk to load w out dup and renamed my basic program to use traps and disable the break key to ask for password when you rebooted kind of like a kiosk so it would run menu.bas but i just renamed menu.bas to dir.bas then changed my boot trap file to autorun.sys and it booted in that file unlike a pc atari800 basic files can boot from just renaming them to autorun.sys so for information educational purposes the sound on the ps3 sounds like same the good thing is with atari800 emulation i dont have to try to steal 256k chips from my compaq PORTABLE II computer's memmory upgrade pcbs to run a 64K atari800xl and also dont have to worry about light ning ruining the atari800 disk drive cause those people who used to repair atari disk drives are busy activating cellphones way up north I mean WAY up north like evilith thought i was bored HAVE YOU SEEN a DIGIKEY CATALOG LATELY they have like 1528 pages in the 2005 catalog and its easyer to run an emulation file than to try to look for power supply parts for my original atari800 but I still have the original 10k rom cart in it why wouuld i want to find a10 when someone else did plus it stinks and i dont like fires.. so i would think it would be safer w emulation.
  21. the recipt menanig why would you want a 50gig game on the harddrive instead of the blue ray disk like unreal tounrment 2003 with the factory autorized crak and the ORIGINAL cdrom I MEAN optical rom you can load patch no optical rom/ram patch and finnaly 436 patch you can run w out the optical disk what i mean is SONY would be making a mistake instead of charging to play online games online they could just charge for per movie bandwidth usage when like watching like netflicks. i now see why sony wanted to lock the operating system cause with linux you probably get into the netflix cache witch would be since sony owns lots of MOvie they would not want you to beable to chomp a movie good thing i dont care about net flix but if i did big deal why would i want to play atari on a PS3 when my computer works fine w atari emulation and a blue way player that works on my tv would not be so bad if i didnt upgrade . I do wish i had a PMP or a psp since they are portable. the good news is a ps3 takes exactly the same power as a 800 and a 810 power pack! lame huh but way neater looking wires and it plays BLUE RAY opticle disks and no compression feathers on a 50gig disk playing a 30 gig movie in 1920x1050 ! i probably could watch a movie on tv w out feathers and still play atari emulation.
  22. hmm looking on google it looks like atari800 on psp is not as big of a deal as linux.. but why does sony care youre not chomping a bios its still on the motherboard.. and owning a game is the recipt not the code!!..
  23. Hmm a google cache dragged me back here for more ranting.. its weird how long ago i downloaded a psp atari 800 file w no psp to run it on then my brother in laws outlaws my brothers wifes sisters husban gave me 2 ps3's on red screen of death other no power at all . 1st rip appart both ps3's then add silicone heat sink paste then reput back together no hair dryer needed PUN.. then read up on how linux can be loaded if you have oldenough version ps3. luckally then one that didnt power on booted w the redscreen of death's ps3 power supply and eventaylly stealing the red screens optical dvd/cdrom/blueray bdrom drive... i got a working ps3 and since i never had a ps3 and dont have $ why jail break it so like the psp they could lock it down so i never upgraded!! i instead downloaded a back up of 2.76. ps3/update/updat.pup then burned cdrom. then stole harddrive out of red screen ps3 and freind reseated power supply witch i thought was dead and got red screen powered up but it red screened again probaly because the silicone themo paste was so dried up and toasted it over heated.. anyway the harddrives turned out fine 2 80G sata laptop drive one seagate and one fujitsu.. anyway long story short got one usb ps3 joystick with home button and linux loaded using pititeboot and loading ubuntu 9.10{power pc ps3 version} in the OEM MODE who cares if for manafactures only whell its cool cause oem chooses even the VIDEO mode and isine i dont have hdmi the lcd screen wont work w it and using tv tuner would just be so lag why even say.. anyway back to ATARI I actaully after oem linux loaded i got the petiteboot to choose linux install and it actually loaded..... U used a usb spltter/hub its one of theose 1 to 2 usb dongles and even thougth no xp it worked how the F does that plug play work?? must be the linux NOT it worked in ps3 os browser but farmville wont work but castles of camelot works w ps3 browser... almost got flash player loaded for .debien .deb firefox.. opera worked too.. then i loaded .deb packs for stellax from sourceforge and atari800.exe sourceforge.deb packs and to my surprise atari emulation and linux ubunto works on the ps3 so since i cant afford ps3 games and never played one yet why upgrade and the other ps3 i probably part out on ebay for parts cause heat sinks case fan power supply all work blue tooth adaptor an all that crap work on extra red screen ps3 and since hdmi didnt work on sceptre 22 inch gamer I probably will just leave ps3 at the 2.76 version if i get a lcd tv then mabie ill try it on hdmi but for now it loads stella and plays 2600 emulation wont fullscreen but none the less works w joystick the video mode in pitite boot lets me choose 480i only works 5 something rolls and wont synk.. so im thinking mabie ill bring ps3 to pawn shop to browse a lcd tv to see if linux boots to bigger mode or is it oem locked.. the good news is if atari800 works on ps3 why not linux on psp or just one of those atari800 ports.. remember you need actual basic cart to beable to run basic rom for informational and educational purposes now running linux on a ps3 not intening to jail break or use ps3 network seems ok to me and they even let you upgrade the picture app w out having to update to 3.6. sorry for rerambling again .. but im glad i found my old cabinet pics HMM must have been the lead piosinging from soldering that gave me ramblings .. oh its 4am insomina too or mabie im just a little geekey
  24. wow rambling again.. eliminating the need for dosbox and freedos.. then by mistake i had P III single pcb plugged into the back plane for power and left the extra ide power plug pluged into the single board pcb and took the back plane off cause the pci only back plane wont wake up the 486 YES I DIDNT KNOW WHAT THE WHITE POWER CONNECTOR WAS FOR UNTILL I turned on the BIG BLUE old 486 power supply freind wayne gave me althouh the power plug was wired wrong cause he said he had threw the case away i looked at a other 386 i had and figured out the poiwer switch jumpering and viola it came on the 486 powered on single board 486 this one had heat sink clamps too so at 33Mhz it booted then i heard the p III BEEP i was like huh no back plane where is power coming from OH yeah the extra ide power plug was still plugged into the P III single board computer and i was like hmm forget the mono soundblaster I stole the back plane i was using from my self and unplugged the 486 put a 66Mhz chip in and moved some jumpers found out i have like 3 working 33Mhz 486 chips and like 2 working 66Mhz chips then ran low on silicone heat sink paste... then decided to goto the single board P III board with its weird back plane plug but decided to see what it did w isa 8bit soundblaster anyway to make a long story short the word yamaha on the ibit isa soundblaster branded soudblaster reminded me when my freind gave me a 386 that he said locked up on sound SO I LOADED doom and changed levels to change the midi and it unstuck! thats when i relized midi can get stick and if you have built in midi you have to diable it AFTER you move it out of the way of the external pci or 8bit isa board and you can only choose one midi device for playing keyboard at a time.. so selecting the correct GALAGA sound like midas or SEAL insteAD OF directx sound might speed galaga to not glitch or slow up a lot ... also -noscanlines -nodouble -640x400 or something like that mame 067 seems to be the best galaga but remember every single version of mame has a differnt version of galaga roms and ON the pcb i had the GALLAG d-g-07 pcb the tractor beam cant be shot down in the demo and it just said 1 9 8 2 no © but the so called bootleg version of gallag could have very whell been the original version of the game.. NAMCO probably bought the rights before they licenced MIDWAY to make galagas in us aslso anyway i foundf out using a tvview external vga to compoiste and nvidia and custom modes i figured out my 22 inch gamer monitor even thought the hdmi cable is toast with ps3 hdmi connector does not work .. but the vga connecor works! great and will wake it self up and even once choosen to VGA mode it will sleep and wake.. also there are some cool modes for xp like 2048x1536 custom KLW-7000 sony monitor mode 2048x1536 30Hz 48Hz 43Hz but 60 Hz shuts off on lcd but stays on vga to tv box... even 200Hz 2048x1536 works on tvview but who can read that w out zoom now 2048x1536 30Hz works but is so overscanned on this 22 inch screen it wont fit but 2048x1050 works in 30Hz but works great in 60Hz it seems that a 22inch lcd uses 1050 like my old compaq n610c laptop does any mode w 1050 after it looks great I even added 800x1050 and it looks tweeky like nesticle mode... but cool as far as my eyes i can use 1600x1050 and still read.. althogh 1152x1050 is really cool. its strechy but not clock blury!!! hope this was not to
