    I've been playing around this weekend with a simple game for 2600 loosely inspired by "Toobin'". So far I've got the basic controls and player sprite working + a basic scrolling playfield. No collision or other game logic just yet.

     

    This is my first time making a flickering kernel, which I used in order to get 2 colors on the player sprite (and since it rotates I can't just pick a color per scanline). I'm pretty happy with how it looks and moves so far.

     

    Controls are:

    Joystick LEFT: paddle with left hand (turns player slowly)

    Joystick RIGHT: paddle with right hand (turns player slowly)

    Joystick UP / Fire Button : paddle with both hands (accelerates player forward)

     

    One unfortunate limitation right now is that I'm using the "ball" for the inner tube, so the ground color and the inner tube must share a color at the moment. I'm saving the other player graphic for obstacles/pickups (hopefully).

    Hi there!

     

    I just wanted to say that I love 6.1, Kudos to Stephen and the Stella Team! :) But I do have a question - is it possible to change the snapshots that the UI shows for each game? Id love to be able to change this to box art. Im sure its an easy change, but Im not so great at figuring stuff out sometimes!

     

    Thanks!

    snapshots???? In Stella? I've seen them on MAME, but not Stella (unless its on the AtGames Atari Flashback 9 and/or X consoles)

    Looks like scanlines are turned on.  Go to Video -> TV Effects and turn the Scanlines Intensity bar all the way to the left (until it says 'Off').

    Thanks that worked! I wonder why it (6.1) had 35% when 6.0 was off......

    yeah I've noticed a difference in the picture quality from Stella 6.0 to 6.1, on my Win7 32-bit PC - the screen default size is bigger (good) but the graphics look grainy (not good), is it supposed to be this way? or do I need to change a setting @stephena?

    I have another hack suggestion, Mysterious Thief, i think looks, like a great game- love the color selection and graphics all around--- but as we know its pretty unplayable (or is it just me?) I think if the control could be fixed or collision detection, it could be good.  

     

    The reason i mention is because these are such small memory games i thought it wouldnt be impossible to fix them, i mean others have been fixed for sure...- thx for listening

    I totally agree!

     

    If you do not get lucky and catch the items in an easy order, you will never get to the roof for the helicopter ride. I've only done it a few times out of the many times I have played it.

     

    I think it starts off too hard to begin with, is the problem......

    @Dionoid has modified Amoeba Jump for using the PlusROM functions and sending the score to the "PlusCart High Score Club".

    PlusCart user/tester can find the PAL and NTSC versions in the PlusStore directory "Public ROMs\PlusROMs\Highscore GA"

    The NTSC version can be played online in javatari, but there will be a generated user name in high score board.

    For '2600 homebrew developers interested in connecting their game to the PlusCart highscore board: it is pretty simple.

    However you will need to set an additional 31 bytes at the start of your rom-bank (containing the URL of the highscore API), so that probably needs some of your code to be shuffled around.

    See more information on https://pluscart.firmaplus.de/pico/?PlusROM

     

    Awesome work guys! I'm now known as "unknown Javatari user 12" LOL!!!

    Okay I bought a sd card with a bunch of Atari games. Then I see the file here for free. No big deal. The guy has a sd card to buy, shopping and from what I read he had to remove all the spaces in the file names to make the games work. Whatever, here is my $17.

     

    I get the sd card most of the games dont work. I have to rename the files. He didnt even tell me this is how you fix it. I had to read it here!

     

    So whatever, now I'm looking for the software name of the program that will take the spaces out of the file name all at one time.

     

    Do not buy from beau32. 

    Next time buy from a trusted source! Afterall, I've tried to shut him down for selling my work on numerous occasions thru eBay. And eBay has ignored my requests so far. 😞

    Are these people selling them exclusively or are you just letting whoever wants to put them on cart for sale do so?

    I could offer a few folks here on AA a better price than those being offered on Etsy if that is the case. Hate to see

    friends overpay and I'm sure I have the extra parts on hand to at least make up a few.

    I managed to get the 2019 woodgrain edition from the Montgomery Wards website for about $50 with shipping. 

     

    Just arrived in the mail and charging now. Anyone know if the compatibility of games is the same as the 2018 edition?

    The "Firecore" emulator is exactly the same from the 2016 handheld thru the 2019 woodgrain, so my ROM pack will work on all of the AtGames Atari Flashback Portables.
