He means the BASIC cartridge. BTW, The BASIC cartridge could only handle about 11 lines, so it's probally hard to make something nice with it

If you go to this site, Portable 2600 forum, there is a forum on how Ben turned a 2600 into a portable unit. I know he made a ton of different versions of the portable 2600. This link, link, is the main 2600 forum section. I thought that it was a neat idea to make a portable 2600 so while you are out at flea markets you could test the games while you shop. That flea market idea is great, I guess once people start buying portable 2600s, less people will be getting unplayable/uninjoyable games

I need help with the emulator, I used the same version you used, but everything I do results in a ROM image error, and it seems that it doesn't support your obx files! Can you give step-by-step instructions on getting it to run?

I want to make something like my picture, Would it be possible?

There are some on the manual page, but here's another. I like this one because it demonstrates one of the things I was trying to do: get three interesting-looking sprites on the same line at one time (robot, tank, duck) without flickering. The tank is drawn using the ball sprite, which is resized and moved every third scanline. The poison arrows are done the same way. Here's another example, with the robot, a chomper and a bonus item (key) all on the same scanline. This is from a room behind the pink door... there are a few more rooms that should look familiar behind that door. --Will Wow! Those are the most realistic 2600 sprites i've ever seen!

WASD? You heathen! One of the nice things about that keyboard (before they broke it with the later M4 keyboards) was how nice it was to use the arrow keys with two hands in games, and your thumb on the spacebar. Let's see, left arrow is CHR$(, right arrow is CHR$(9), down arrow is CHR$(10), and I think up arrow was probably CHR$(91), which was the remapped "^" in the original Model I chargen chip. I don't actually have a TRS-80 to test anything on, but this should work better? 10 CLS 20 Y=1 30 X=1 40 KEY$ = INKEY$ 60 IF KEY$ = CHR$(91) THEN Y=Y-1 70 IF KEY$ = CHR$(10) THEN Y=Y+1 80 IF KEY$ = CHR$( THEN X=X-1 90 IF KEY$ = CHR$(9) THEN X=X+1 100 SET (X,Y) 110 IF KEY$ = "F" THEN CLS 120 GOTO 40

Thanks for the link. So something like this should let you draw? 10 CLS 20 Y=1 30 X=1 40 KEY$ = INKEY$ 60 IF KEY$ = "W" THEN Y=Y-1 70 IF KEY$ = "S" THEN Y=Y+1 80 IF KEY$ = "A" THEN X=X-1 90 IF KEY$ = "D" THEN X=X+1 100 SET (X,Y) 110 IF KEY$ = "F" THEN CLS 120 GOTO 40

It's been a long time since I messed with a TRS-80, but they technically don't have graphics - text only. However, they do have a set of 64 special text characters, and each is a unique combination of a 2x3 grid of blocks. Since the text display was 64x16, using these special text characters, you could get a 128x48 "graphics" display out of it. IMO, it looked kind of crappy. That's what I meant, could you tell me what command is used?

How did the TRS-80 do graphics?

Are there any NES compilers/IDEs that let me program in basic?

My thoughts exactly. There are barely enough score-driven NES games to necessitate having a HSC, nevermind SNES. There are certainly games that "keep score", but the overwhelming majority of SNES games are action/adventure-style games. And sure, there are lots of arcade titles that keep score, but in most of them (SF II) the score is unimportant. Then how 'bout when a game doesn't go by points, we go by who can get to the farthest level

I know it's not going to be an exact port, but one of the biggest changes in SMB2 was the ability to walk backwards beyond the screen.

Wow! That's amazing for an 8-bit game, it seemed like only SNES games looked like that. BTW, is that for the 8-bit computer or the 5200?

I was playing and i noticed the door should be on the very right side of the screen, Like this: X=Door ___ ________ | | | | | | | | | X | -----------------------------

I got about 101,00 points and got a game over at phase 19, how far can you get? (im using the gameboy advance one, will this make my score lower?)

The shapes of those computers look very similer, And the co-founder of apple did work at atari once, could the shape of the 400 of been inspired by the apple II??
