i did make a cartridge reader/ writer, it's not that difficult to make but you need some knowledge. building a cart reader over the internet is not easy. do you have something special that need's to be dumped ?

today i've got my third atari st with a bunch of disks, and one was labeled with : atari st uk language disk. when i started it, there was atari st basic on it, so i was wondering if anybody programmed something with it. is it possible to do something usefull with it ? unlike basic programming on the 2600

i still don't get it really, when i power on the atari 2600, the 6507 will be on reset for a moment, then it starts execute adress $0000 (i thought) , but the cartridge rom starts at $1FFF ?, i don't get it, how the processor jumps to 1FFF.

thanks,TheleN

i was just thinking,what does the instuction ORG $F000 do in the beginning of a game ?

the demo's from your page look great. but i want to program a little too, and downloaded your xasm package and there are .asx files (hardware.asx) with information. but when i click at it if refers to my mediaplayer and gives a error, how can i open this ?.

do you now where i can get info on the registers ?

here i have a little information there are 4 wires used:

purple = trigger, 0 when pressed

white = +5v

blue = signal out

brown = GND

i hope this inf. will help

i was started with it, but i can't load a game that uses a lightgun. i don't have a ram cart that supports 16KB games to test it on my real 2600.

BTW, what other atari 2600 games use a lightgun ? maybe i could test something.

i didn't grew up at the time it was released but i think most of the games are really great. i can play them when i want, it's not that difficult like a playstation 2 game (first i have to learn how to control it, you have 15 fire buttons ), and afford them, and i discover every time new games (since i've missed all when it was released)

i think berzerk and asteroids. a lot of people think of atari when talking about pac-man. and the name ATARI is powerful.

i have used a old isa slot from an old motherboard. or you can use a old floppy drive connector with ribbon cable on it.

right now i'm programming for the atari 2600, but it won't work !!! now i'm listening to the Cure (seventeen seconds)LP, and therefore New order (substance 1987) and therefore ultravox (quarted)

i wanted to try some programming on the atari 2600 but I don't understand this :

my intention was to see at screen line 10 byte number 3 of pfdata1, but i get it over the whole screen

i don't see what i do wrong, I compare Y with 10, so only if Y=10 then the pfdata byte 3 will be drawn at line 10 i thought.

LDY #191

ScanLoop

STA WSYNC

CPY #10 ; compare y with 10

BNE nop0 ; not 10 ? goto nop0

LDX #3

LDA PFData1,x ;byte 3 from pfdata

STA PF1

LDA #$FA

STA COLUP0 ;color FA

nop0

DEY

BNE ScanLoop

I'm from a pal nation too, and i have cosmic ark with picture and without. and they are both pal. there's nothing standing on it but i assume they are both pal because they are exact thesame.

Thanks, great game. can i only play it with a mouse ?

maybe i want to make a cartridge where i can download 8 bit rom images to, but in a 8k cartridge are 2 roms, one with a inverted CE and one with normal CE.

for example i have a .bin file of 8Kb , which rom contains the low 4K and which one the high 4K from the rom file ?

and i've searched for rom images, but can't find any games or what ?

http://atari.crolink.cz

well i don't have a trade list, i'm just started collecting for 1 1/2 year, and i've about 70 different games. i've got some doubles but these are just some pac-man/asteroids etc carts. i've never get something from ebay or so. the only rare cart i have is x-man but it's pal (seems to be less rare). i'm from Hilversum, where are you guys from ?

TheleN

they're all unboxed but they are fun to play. but i did never seen them before, one time in a shop where they were more expensive then a regular cart (i thought). maybe he wants to buy them

well i was wondering, i bought a few months ago 8 atari 2600 carts, wth the names : super burg, skydiver, fire bird, grandprix, river raid I, pitfall,lilly adventure, king arthur. these are all copies of original games grandprix=ind500, but there's no company name standing on the label only a title and a picture. are this pirated carts, are they rare, more worth then regular carts ??

thanks, TheleN

February 19, 2002

almost everywhere i've seen atari, ive seen combat (this is a game ) This is one of most common games, so you can offer one.

February 16, 2002

and finally it worked !!! but 1/3 of my 200 flopies are already bad...

but when i want to copy programs that are protected, how could i do that - which program is good ?
