Wow! I didn't know leaving bugs in games was illegal

Just had another look at the site and it says analogue controllers such as paddles can be used, so presumably it'll let you use trakballs, and driving controllers too! Cool

Is it a Spectravideo one? If so theres some information here: http://209.122.187.156:8082/videogames/compumat.html It was only made in limited quantities, and AFAIK its quite a collectable item! If, on the other hand, you have a prototype Graduate, then you are very lucky and its worth a fortune Details here: http://209.122.187.156:8082/a3000.html

This product: http://www.jschoenfeld.de/products/cwmk3_e.htm Is designed to fit in any computer with PCI slots (or Amigas with Zorro slots or a clock port, but thats not really relevant to AtariAge, I guess ). Its main purpose is to allow you to read disk formats that normal PC floppy controllers cannot (such as Amiga, or custom formats), but it also has 2 Amiga joystick ports. Now, these ports are identical to Atari ports, allowing you to easily attach Atari joysticks to your PC. It would be great if the Atari emulators were updated to support the card!

There are only 10 types of people in this world; those who understand binary and those who don't

OK.. i've got it... you can get an excerpt from "Yars Revenge" here: http://www.videobrewery.com/files/

Weird. Was that some kind of webmail? I know my mailbox allows receiving large attachments...

My BIOS is on a 27C128 chip, so 16k is the right size for the PAL BIOS. Presumably the 7800 emulation would have to be written to allow it... i don't know... i've not used MESS all that much...

Ahh cool... well I have a bunch of PAL 7800 carts and the means to dump them if anyones interested... (Ballblazer, Dig Dug, Motorpsycho, Fatal Run, Xenophobe, Mean 18, Basketbrawl and Fight Night). I can also dump an image of the PAL BIOS with Asteroids on it... (not sure why anyone would want that though... although it would be nice to be able to remove Asteroids from it so that it can be played on a DevOS equipped PAL console...)

Now that i've got a console with a DevOS ROM, and a 144K RAM cart is on its way to me, I'd like to play some of the Atari 7800 games I don't have on cartridge yet, but AtariAge only seems to have NTSC versions of games which is not much use on a PAL console. Is this to save server space, or is it because PAL dumps arent available? If its the former, where can I download PAL versions, and if its the latter, I'm more than willing to dump my PAL carts for the site...

Thats because its wired to the same input that the B/W switch is on a 2600.

Thats pretty mad. In fact, the only madder thing collected by a retro-computing enthusiast is my Commodore-mad friend who bought 200 CDTV eject buttons in an ebay auction, just because they were made by Commodore

There was also Playcable for the Intellivision that used the cable TV network. In fact, two people figured out how to download stuff to it from their computer and wrote a game. They were hired by Mattel, mostly to stop them telling anyone else how to do it

Email it to [email protected] and i'll chuck it on my webspace for people to download who don't have WinMX.

Why just clone a POKEY? Why not whack 4 DACs on there and have 4 channel sampled sound? Or a SID? or a YM chip? Surely any chip that makes a sound and can be interfaced to a 6502 would do?

Send it to POKEY boot camp to teach it some discipline!

Yeah, Tower Toppler seems to... http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.ht...peID=SCREENSHOT

It didn't occur to you to try sticking a PS1 memory card in? It works fine, I have my Star Trek: Invasion games saved from when I was playing it on my sisters PS2.

Still a stupid name. Well, you want to keep it to four digits ideally, so you can't add as much as 2600. Now, its pretty obvious that any console wouldn't have as much impact now as the 2600 did in the late 70s, so, you only need to add half a 2600 to get the new name... so... 7800 + (2600/2) = 9100 The Atari 9100!

I know you were looking for Atari ones, and this is somewhat off-topic, but theres a whole bunch of Commodore commercials at the Commodore Billboard, and some of them are hilariously bad

Uhuh. I got a fully working 7800 with 9 games, 1 joypad, all leads, and no damage for £20 inc. postage in the UK.

An easier beginners BASIC would be Blitz Basic. There are 2D and 3D versions for Windows here: blitzbasic.com.

Considering he's just making a chip, what you attach to it is up to you. You could attach a cartridge port, or a compact flash interface with a bunch of ROMs on a card... As the guy said on the site, his main idea for the chip was to produce Atari 2600 handhelds that require a lot less current (= longer battery life), and don't involve cutting up existing ataris. So... yes

Ahh... in europe it was Nebulus! Tower Toppler/Nebulus info C64 Nebulus info

I can't believe you guys are having such a heated argument based on pure conjecture over an Emulators FPS routine! Why not just ask the author how it comes up with its figure?!
