    5200 vid mod

    I did this by accident and would advise against it if possible. Ditto! I did this also and was able to get it out but I could see how if I wasn't very careful I could break. Be patent and wait to do it right. Allan
  4. Ditto! Millipede is one of my top 10 favorite 5200 games. This game makes the track-ball shine. Allan
  5. As always, CPUWIZ, you rock! Thanks, Allan
  6. For some reason the 16K 5200 roms try to run the XL/XE OS when I try to run these in Atari800 1.6 emulator on my Mac in OS X. The 32K roms run fine. Any suggestions? Allan
  7. This is really funny. We should all send him a ebay message thanking him for drawing attention to this auction and inform him that we really want this particular auction and will bid over $1000 to get it. Allan
  8. Care to give any more details on what else you found? Sounds cool. Allan
  9. Here's a bunch of articles on the Hotz box from Start magazine. http://www.atarimagazines.com/startv3n9/ho...smidimagic.html http://www.atarimagazines.com/startv5n2/hotzmidi.html http://www.atarimagazines.com/startv2n4/ro...ockandroll.html http://www.atarimagazines.com/startv2n5/davemason.html http://www.atarimagazines.com/startv3n1/ma...kswithmidi.html http://search.freefind.com/find.html?id=61...&n=0&query=hotz Allan
  10. Wow! Very cool. So what's the story with this? The last we heard the programmer just didn't have time to finish it I think. Did he get some help from around? Anyways, fantastic news. Edit: OK. Just realized this was programmed/finished by one of our 8-bit programmers (Bryan Edewaard, Nice job Bryan!) here at atariage and not Jim Leiterman, the original programmer. Atari2600.com is not involved with this either? It's nice to have another contest for everybody but I also loved that box art they created. The most important thing though is that we'll have the game. Allan
  11. Track & Field ? OK. First, the title looks like one word to me although the blurriness of the pic maybe blurring the words together. Second, Isn't Track and Field a newer game? Since this picture was on the earliest boxes I think it might not be Track & Field. Hmmmm... Any other thoughts? :pondering some more: Allan
  12. Anybody want to guess what this game is? I've never seen it before and it certainly isn't Superbreakout. Allan
  13. They're very similar with the main difference being that the second one has a picture of the trackball. Anybody have front and back pics of the smaller box? Allan
  14. Here's the two big boxes. Allan
  15. Yes, that would be cool. Maybe some of JD Casten's games. What would be neat would be to do some non-game programs that don't require to many keyboard inputs like music programs, puzzles, card games, etc. As far as games go I'd like to see Eastern Front, Caverns of Mars, Fort Apocalypse, Blue Max, Lode Runner, one of the Monopoly clones. Allan
  16. Has anybody gotten this to work in any of the emulators? I tried Rainbow and Atari800 emulators on the Mac with no success. The other two games work fine, just not this one. Allan
  17. Hey folks, I think my 5200 Multicart died. All I get is a green screen. All my other carts work fine. Can somebody PM me Sean Kelly's email address so I can contact him about fixing it? Allan
  18. Holy Crap!!!! I've been ignoring this thread since the title wasn't that interesting. I was going to go back later and read it when I had more time. BOY WAS THAT A MISTAKE! This is fantastic! This has been a great month for 5200 fans. Now I can play DK and DK Jr on my nice Commodore 1702 in brilliant sharp (correct) colors. I just realized how much the colors are off on my TV once I hooked up my 5200 s-video mod. Thanks Kenfused! And you did it so fast. Do you think you could do any more? I'd also love to hear more about how you did it. Any tips you could give other programmers would really help. Again, great work and thanks. Allan
  19. Push the two bottom tabs out from the back. You have to be a bit firm but it will pop out. One other thing. When putting the wire into the expansion cover, pull the wires the the expansion HOLE and then put the wires through the cover. Getting the cover with the wires on it through the expansion hole is very difficult. Doing it the first way is much easier. Allan
  20. Probably not as long as you don't get interference to other electronics. I just did mine today. Looks fantastice. Yes the RF cover was a bitch to take off. You just have to pry it off with a screw driver after straitening the tabs. I did break 2 stubern tabs but the rest should hold it down find. Couple of notes. Be carefull in what order you assemble things. The three wires must go through the expansion cover first, then the ground goes into the wire from the back, followed by the lock washer and then the nut. Then you plug the wires into the back of the connector on the little circuit board. Figured it out the hard way but everything worked out well. Allan
  21. There's no instructions, just pics on how to do each step. Unfortunately I only have a floppy drive on my old PC which I don't have internet access for. Hopefully somebody else who's gotten it can send the pics. PS. I got mine today to but no time to install it. Hopefully this weekend. Allan
  22. There were also three PAL prototype games that were NTSC conversions made for it supposedly and the system wouldn't display NTSC carts at all. Do you know which ones? Allan
