I don't know.. looks pretty good to me.. then again.. my Jpgs are skrewing up again... only .jpg images.. must be something skrewey with my video card... but this could be like the Bigfoot of ataris.. you know.. a bunch of people say it exists.. and a bunch of people say it doesn't and when the people that say it does and shows you photographic proof.. the nay sayers all start shouting nay? yeah like that so.. the question is.. we have people prooving that its made.. the box looks pretty real to me.. I know that you can distress the hell out of stuff with photo shop.. But I can usually see the seams of the edit.. and I'm not seeing them. the magic marker of the 6 over the four looks like some kid was marking up the box out of disgust apon realizing that it wasn't anything diffrent than a 2600.. hell when I was eight years old.. I never gave a second thought to how much this stuff might be worth years from now.. so I was prone to graffiti.. it stands to reason.. I say its a real product.. the wheres and why.. I have no idea.. but I do think I recall some wacky numbers being thrown out at the junior back in the day.. and these are just fuzzy memmories.. I think there was even some packaging refering to the junior as the 2700

Vally Girl and fast times at Rigemont high are good as well.. then theres also Summer school.. license to drive, driver school... there are some really bad 80's flicks out there that just REAK 80's high coutre oh shit.. how come no one has mentioned St. Elmo's fire!?! thats nothing but 80's yuppie trash shit right there.. you'll find every single cliche' in that flick bareing all that... American Phsyco #1.. that one kills any modern era eighties period piece hands down

oh! and do we suspct that Mr. Wilkersons no solder AV mod is going to be available by then?

Allright.. who wants to Host the Gnomes after hours Barley Pop frolic? four five gallon kegs of of tasty craft brew, tasty eating fare and a nice relaxed atmosphere for kicking back with old and new freinds

well.. you wouldnt actually have to listen to it persay.. you would have to have a pretty fancy radio to pick up that type of audio.. this is basicly short band radio and below the range of most radio's. far as i can tell these carts are basicly just radio recievers that pick up only a secific band of radio waves. see the concept in question here is not if it can be done or how... the question is.. how do we make money off of this? even with a cheap wide spectrum reciever from radio shack you can pick up basic muzak service for free.. Muzac makes its money by leasing hardware and service.. ala direct TV.. of course.. muzak has gone the direction of direct link satilite and subscription based services becouse its easier to monitor and exlude service to subscribers but how do you tell your atari cart that its only supposed to recieve this particular signal at this time and onl;y if you have paid to have it.. this is easily hacked

I'd Like to see the Booster grip implemented in somethng other than omega race.. I understand that there are some flight sims for the 2600 that implement the difficulty switches as part of game play.. and I think adding booster grip control for like say.. fireing a missle while leaving the regular fire button for cannons.. that would be cool and for those with out a booster grip.. I understand the coleco joystick can be subsituted? or am I thinking of another controller?

finish fu kung! and lets re-open that forum. Im sick of seeing that same thing in the subject line onthe main menu

why not just use a Sega controller.. they work with out modification and the feel is pretty simular

Welcome Jose! yes.. its safe to buy from the members here.. you might want to check out the Marketplace forums for that. theres also a International forum you might be interested in

allright.. I'm a touch confused now.. what besides the size of the game makes them unplayable on a unmodified supercharger? what do you do? clean up the code a touch so they're a little smaller and fit within the operating parameters of the unit?

How old are these TV's? is it a digital, or analog type tuner? meening.. is your channel diplayed with the touch of a button on the remote? or do you have to rotate the big ass dial on the front of the set? if its an old analog set.. you might have to adjust the vertical hold dial

another interesting idea would be to take a original VCS main board.. remove the switch part of the board and locate that in the original location. now you desolder and reroute the cartridge port and mount that in its original location. then you mount the VC Main board inside the case in a location as such to not interfere with the new Mini ATC board. at this point you would also have to have a video capture card to accept the audio and video information from the VCS in iether case.. I havent seen a power supply that you can shoe horn into a VCS case. so a laptop with everything on board would have to surfice if you want EVERY thing in there. other wise.. I would just inclose the PS into its own little box and plug that into the back of the VCS with an appropiate internal jumper to the board. my project is pretty slow going at the moment.. Rent appears to be more important than wierd ass mods

naw.. thats just ugly.. I'm still working on my shoehorning.. I've pretty much got everything inthe case.. its a matter of disabling the original keyboard.. and making an auxillery board and mouse work with the original hardware.. and all this is in set up.. but the original computer is some gate way shit so its being all ornery with me.. if it had a CD rom drive.. I'd just wipe the hard drive and start fresh

tell me about it.. I have a sears catalog from 1903! Sears had everything in the damn place.. from houses to "electro fitness belts" that I still see on the Infomercials TO THIS DAY! its even more amazing that I have this publication considering at the time it was estimated that upwards of 70% of these catalogs were lost to outhouses thats right.. toilet paper

sp yer saying my ten thousand packets of soy and duck sauce is a frivilous persuit? IO see where y'all are coming from my biggest issue is the fact that I just plain have too many collections of this that or the other thing.. right now.. I'm plunking more change into the homey machine at the grocery store than I am thrifting, fleaing, or rummaging for carts. I'm also obsessed with vntage lamps.. the tackier the better.. vintage computers wich is slow to take off.. I'm still looking for that old Kaypro 64 portable I had eons ago Beer bottles from around the world.. most spicificly.. I really need to go there to get these bottles..so far Ive been pub crawling the united states for them bottles. I'm also trying to grab up a mug from every single year that the richmond virginia german american sportsclub octoberfests.. this is a bit of a challange considering they have been going on since the mid sixties.. and its a local obsession.. I can't really get on Ebay to find these things.. I also breed and raise scorpians.. gold fish.. and garden.. someday I 'll open up a curio shop.. maybe when I retire

hmm.. you might have better luck with this topic in the Coin ops section

yup.. do not be afraid to dumpster dive.. worst thing that can happen is you'll wake up the bum or get bit by a rat

allright.. lets get down to basics before craking that puppy open.. have first.. make sure your channel selector is right.. either 3-4 make sure the television corrisponds next, have you checked for propper power? are you using the original atari power supply, or are you useing an aftermarket power supply? If you have a multimeter you might want to check the power supply connector the tip is positive... and the outer ring is negative. you should get a DC reading around 9volts out of that puppy.. if this isn't the case then you most likely have a dead PS.. so now you run out to radio shack or someplace like that and get your self a little ol' selectable power supply.. set it for 9 volts.. and make sure your polarity is correct and give that a whirl. if the power proves to not be the issue now yer going to consider cracking that puppy open. now.. if you have issues with shocking yourself whenever you get out of the car.. you might want to consider grounding yourself before you handle the board. while yer at this.. you might as well and go ahead and replace the RF cord. this is just any standard RCA male to male cord that you use to connect componant 's on your stereo or Video equipment.. you might need to trim the positive tip on the end that goes into the board.. just make sure its firmly seated.. now were going to go back to the power.. check out were the power plug connects into the main board check to make sure that all the connections are firmly seated to the main board.. check for any irregularities in the solder joints.. make sure that the actual connection points in the jack are functioning correctly and are free of rust oh.. and storm.. welcome to the boards! you'll find a wealth of information on lots of topics relating to the hard and software.. and if my advice doesn't help.. there are many others on the boards that can help you out with other issues that maybe presented to you.. most likely your system is not fried.. its pretty hard to kill these critters

and theres probably no way in hell any of these games are going to see the light of day on the emu scene I would imagine

sounds like the sega arcade controller.. I use it.. I love it you use the "B" button for fire and It has rapid fire for going batshit on asteroids and the like now.. how well it will work for you being a lefty.. I have no idea.. it seems pretty much geared up for the the righties another stick I like to use is the one that shipped with the sears video arcade.. that has duel fire buttons.. and the paddle is built into the stick, so with that you really dont have to warry about switching controllers between joy and paddle games. Now.. what I would like to see is a Homebrew that mixes functionality of the oystick and the paddle just to take advantage of this controller

I love playing the simpsons arcade.. and tahnks to my Side winder game pads.. i can now play two player. I'm pretty sure its my computer.. but I have to turn the sound off for the game to make it run aprciably over all the mame version runs decent with sound.. but the sound is jumpy and effects frame rate.. turn off the sound.. fantastic..no problem

I Loved Baby Pacman when it came out.. dumpped a lot of quarters in that one at the 7-11 when I was a kid.. I haven't seen one in years and I would love to own one one day.. However.. I hear they were really buggy and prone to early deaths?

my collecting is just collecting the games I want.. mostly.. the games I can play for hours on end and enjoy doing it.. consiquentially.. my collection is ful of some obscure games. but fun games.. basicly.. I'm not going to get a $300+ game unless I find it in the wild.. and I will snake the person selling it for under $5 thats the thrill its the thrill of the hunt my freind.. and E-bay is not a hunt.. you put on some search words and yer liable to find it.. and if you dont.. wait a couple of weeks.. just so you know .. most of the really really rare games worth a lot of money.. arent neccesarly good games.. the majority of the ultra rares came out during the dying days of the console.. when games were made.. but not a lot were produced becouse the demand was low.. there area lot of shitty games out there.. and there area lot of shitty games out there that were put out that are fetching insanly high prices now just becouse they are rare in production count. however.. if you love playing the games.. and the games you like playing are popular.. you'll have no problem ammasing apersonal fortune of killer ass games.. in an appreciable.. frugal manner

Not only is it completly ethical but also make freinds with your local garbage man and Apartment property managers and turn over guys.. also do not be afraid to do a little dumpster diving now and then..
