  1. You should use the debug version of the latest Experimental and share pictures of the failed loads. There is some good info in that debug info for the developers.
  2. Is there any chance the Retron 77 cart dumper could get an update and benefit from all the things learned from the 2600+ dumper updates?
  3. Tower Toppler is fixed in the latest beta update.
  4. Back in January 1985, I had an Atari 835 modem and I wanted to run a BBS (The Dark Side Of The Moon in Chicagoland area). The 835 had no built in "ring detector" so instead you had to build a box to handle ring detection. You plugged one cable into the phone line and another cable into your joystick port. If I recall correctly, when the phone rang the box would send a signal to the joystick port as if the button was being pushed. The BBS software was programmed to watch for a button push and would then answer the phone when that happened. Below are pictures of my 1985 ring detector that my dad built for me. I am guessing the parts were purchased at Radio Shack along with a joystick cable that I sacrificed from an older joystick. Does anyone have the original instructions that might have been used to build this ring detector? I'd love to have them. My original BBS software was AMIS so maybe the instructions came with that?
  5. Circus Convoy works fine for me with dumper 1.1.0.9 and Experimental 1.1x r2.
  6. I think Champ Games should be making double-ender cartridges. One side is the classic 2600 compatible version and the other side is the 2600+ compatible version.
  7. FYI, there is a newer dumper available: 1.1.0.9
  8. I recapped the power supply as noted above. I have now also recapped and the neck board as described here: Still no luck. Screen remains black. Does anyone have any ideas what to try next? Any suggestions would be helpful.
  9. It’s just as easy to reload 1.1 beta if the experimental one causes you issues.
  10. Can someone with a ticking Pitfall test their game with this update? Wondering if the performance boost fixed that.
  11. For Tac-Scan, the old manual says to use paddles in the Right port. The classic 2600 only works with paddles in the the Right port. However, this firmware build that @raz0red has shared needs the paddles to be in the Left port. Stella 6.7 even mentions Left port by default: I suppose I would prefer it if this firmware matched the old manual (or better yet if both Left and Right port worked) but I guess that is debatable. It is kind of nice to just keep the paddles plugged into the Left port if you are in a "paddle game playing mood" where you are playing a bunch of paddles games.
