    I just successfully performed this upgrade: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/3489-atari-600xl-upgrade-to-64k/ . I feel like a whole new world is at my disposal...

    I have a CX-10, but there are a few caveats. I bought it in a huge lot years ago. The previous owner 'tinkered' with all of it....swapped out ICs on a heavy sixer board that effectively inverted the colors; cut all of the cords on sets of keyboards, paddles, steering controllers, and a set of CX-10s. He/she attached the cut cords to a homemade a switch (of sorts), but never finished the job. ANYHOW... I have a CX-10 from that lot that would need the entire cord (going from the PCB to the VCS) and the rubber boot. I'm not sure how appealing that is to you, but the the original PCB, the plate, the casing, the button, and the stick are all there. I can take a picture of it tomorrow, if it's of any interest to you.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I'm not shy with a soldering iron. Anyhow, thank you for all of the insights! The upgrade looks fairly simple. I'm ordering the chips today. I hope this didn't derail the original post. That was never my intention. Thanks again, everybody!

    Thank you for all of the feedback. SS, thank you for the files. Just as you suggested, most of the files I tried worked without a hitch. I will need to open this thing up at some point, get the keyboard functioning (one section doesn't register), and figure out this RAM situation. It seems like a waste to keep the machine at 16k, when the Ultimate cart opens the door to so many titles. Let's hope the chips are socketed :-p

    Purchased Donkey Kong DK from him. Even with a donor cart switch-er--oo, the transaction was quick, and the process was easy. Lest we forget that this game is perfection. Thank you!

    Maybe, if I work hard enough, I can get passed H.E.R.O. (8-bit) level 8... I suck at this game :-(

      It definitely seems to be a game that you need to practice and memorize. I have only fiddled with it a little, but quickly got that impression.

      level 8 I think is where it starts getting hard, that's the stage you have to hover over the water and the cave hangs low above you? I get stuck there too.

    I received my cart last week. It's great! Just a quick question for the masses... Should it be expected that my stock 600XL is unable to launch many titles? Most commercially released, common titles (that I know for certain were released in the earliest 8-bit days...think Space Invaders, etc.) run fine, whether in .car or .rom file formats. It seems like most that I try that are post-1982, however, are a no-go. I've chalked this up to the machine only having 16K of RAM, but I thought I'd check in to see if I should dig further. This is my first experience with an Atari 8-bit, so, please excuse my ignorance. Is the 16k of ram going to be an issue for cartridge-based games? When I get home from work, I'll try some of the titles that weren't working while holding the 'Option' key at launch.

    I bought an ultimate cart (8-bit) from MacRorie. He included sufficient documentation, and everything arrived quickly. He was communicative and a pleasure to do business with. Thank you!

    Like others have mentioned, it can vary. Seems like the earlier runs of the 2600 decks have more saturated color tones, especially when compared to the juniors. I find 2600 carts played on the 7800 to appear almost washed-out by comparison. You're probably fine...

    I started Sonic Forces on the Switch tonight. Levels seem really short, extremely easy, and the story is pretty shallow (even for Sonic), but it's fun...sort of like the love child of Sonic Colors and Sonic Adventure...

  14. tisaperfectdayelise

    Wahoo! 600XL on it's way. Hopefully, I can track down a multicart!

    Howdy! I read the thread, and it looks like you were taking preorders in November of last year. Are you still taking preorders? Is the process for preordering the same? Thanks for all you do!

    It didn't take long for that to happen. Ah well. My 7800 Ballblazer is in nice condition, so I didn't want to sacrifice it...but....I do have the 5200 Ballblazer....and that DK is kind of a necessity.... Le Sigh...
  21. tisaperfectdayelise
    I'll be totally honest... I need a cart with a POKEY chip to send to TP392 for Donkey Kong PK. Loose is probably best. Condition doesn't matter, as long as it works. Never mind!

    Only showing 1/12 of a second of gameplay footage from Karateka was a really good move!

    I think I'm caught up on the Coleco drama. Holy wow. On a less shit-show note, DK helped reacquaint me to the 7800 tonight. I hadn't played one in at least 5 years. Getting reacquainted with these classics is making me feel grateful for what I held onto, before we moved across the country in '13. At that time, we combined households, and I sold off a good 3/4 of the collection I'd amassed over the years. I'm glad I didn't shed all of it :-)

      Didya read the Pac Man suit thread? It's kinda like a post script to the whole Coleco thread. It's locked now. lol

      In other "much ado about nothing" news, don't forget AtariBox! Or do forget it, you're not missing anything ... unless you like TACOS

      No dice in the northern Dallas suburbs. Notice went out early this morning that all of our campuses would remain open, but suggested that everyone be mindful about changes in conditions. I actually buckled down last night and finished the work I was trying to avoid, so it's neither here nor there.

      Some patchy ice in Dallas. Still took some time getting in just to be safe.
