  1. Nice, I can't say how many times I still hit that TOP button and it restarts the game.. So frustrating!!
  2. Add Frogger rom to the list, I will make a side-by-side video today from my Atari 800XL and the 400 Mini. Then I will know if I'm just old or crazy or both, LOL. Thank you for all of the comment!
  3. Galaxian.rom was definitely one that is running faster. Also check out the Zaxxon.bin - so fast. Moon Patrol rom is faster to name a few.
  4. I was just making a video of time a few dozen ROMs/Bins/XEX and notice the mini is running the games way faster than they should be. Anyone else notice on their ROMs? I've tried different settings: 400, 800 etc and that didn't effect the speed any. Is there a setting I missed to slow the games down to 'normal' speed. Using NTSC, couldn't test PAL on my TV. Thoughts?
  5. Oh GREAT Link Thank you - Zaxxon was mentioned in there. Does anyone know if the issue was fixed in the v1.1 update? I haven't updated mine yet. Thank you everyone!
  6. Thank you. Has anyone figured out why? Is there a better compatibility list? Is the ROM different? I have over 2500 Atari 2600 ROMs and there is not any Zaxxon varieties. I will research the forums more.
  7. I had someone return a Zaxxon I sold because they said it didn't work. But I knew it worked, because I test all cartridges before I sell them on my 2600. After talking to this nice person, I found out he didn't own an original 2600, but had a new 2600+ I had him return it to me and I made this video below: I had no idea what's wrong, it's marked OK on the compatibility list and I thought maybe the 2600+ is more sensitive? So once I had Zaxxon returned, I tested on my 2600jr and it worked first try. So in my 2600+, just like the buyer said, it did not work, So I cleaned the contacts, they where dirty, Still didn't work in the 2600+, so I cleaned more and more, until the qtips show no more dirt. Again test and the it didn't work in the 2600+ So now for the experts, what do you think is going on here? What's wrong with this cartridge? Could it be a different ROM version, I only see one PAL and a NTSC version in all of my ROMs. Thoughts please. Thank you.
  8. Hi Tim, Have you or will you ever sell PDFs/digital copies of all of your issues? I think I already own most of these issue, but would love to be able to read on my iPad. Sure I could scan them all into my computer, but would also be happy to pay for it already done. Thank you.
  9. I suspect this is a homemade replacement label someone printed out. Have you then this one? I believe the line down the front is tape edges? Thoughts please - Thank you.
  10. I did not know there was two versions - Thank you I have Mitsumi TF-02 56-3217a Also thank you for the chip number. (I found HD14051BP as U24 in the Sams Computerfacts.) So I will grab a few of those also. Steve
  11. I just got an Atari 130XE that is has some keyboard problems. I tested the continuity of the keyboard membrane and could not find any breaks. Keys 3,0,E,P,D,:,C and Start are not working, so that know that points to Pin 10, R151 and U24 The resistors to the chip all check out in the 270 range, so they are ok. Should I just go ahead and replace the keyboard membrane? I see they are only $20 on ebay. What is the chip in U24? It's labelled: NEC 8449B7 D40551BC BUT I can not find it online. Thank you
  12. But Atari did release Donkey Kong in July 1981 and Colecovision was 1982. So Atari must've paid something for the rights? Maybe they only paid HALF since the game only had 2 of the 4 level - ? -
  13. Here is my amateur STL attempt, but I need better. I also see it will be too large for my Prusa MK3S+, But I could cut in 1/2 and print. Thoughts or source for a real bezel? Thank you so much! Pet Bezel-3B.stl
  14. I am looking for a bezel for a Commodore PET. Or I could 3D Print one if someone could make an STL file. Can anyone help? Thank you
