First, I want to wish an happy new year to every atari fellows here.

It's gifts time, so enjoy !

I relesased a brand new version of my VCS Simulator program (VESA compatible video card required).

I also released the game Catapult.

You can dowload the files at http://www.khryssun.cjb.net

BTW

I think this is the last game for the VCSS before a long time. Because of health problems, I suspend all my programming work for now.

In fact two 7800 models can be found in France.

The 1st one is the classic TV connector model. The Second is a SCART output model.

regarding the number of colors displayed / palette used, compared to a SECAM 2600, I think both are Pal models.

7800 SCART pinout is Here

November 26, 2001

Hey twit,

thank you for this nice find !

BTW, about the only 2 bytes differents at the bankswitching address, I encounter the same thing with my Secam schroumpfs (smurfs) version compare to the Pal one.

Any idea, why only those 2 bytes are differents ?

November 23, 2001

Nice job guys.

Mine is almost complete.

I'll subit it tomorrow... got to go to bed now

November 22, 2001

The endless question...

For the moment :

2600 : Krull

7800 : Ram card with system connected to the PC

While talking about the ODYSSEY 2...

I've got a 7401 model but I haven't the TV Scart cable...

I'm looking to build one but I'm missing the pinouts. Someone has some informations about that ?

Using a multimeter I found the following infos :

- 3 pins have a 3.48 V output :

I guess they are the R G B pins. Am I right ?

- 1 pin has a 11.58 V outpout (=12 V)

- 1 pin has a 5.12 V outpout (=5V)

- 2 pins with 0 V (? Ground)

- 1 Pin with 1,90 V (?)

Please help required

ben,

I know what you mean about skeet shoot.

I had this game in a pack of games I bought... in my opinion, it's the worst atari 2600 game I ever play... Is far as we can talk playing about skeet shoot... It's a anti game

November 15, 2001

Just wondering...

do you think it will work to replace a 2764 Eprom with a 2864 EEPROM ?

BTW do you know if there's a good ressource on the web which explain how to build PCBs ?

I'd be glad to provide you a higher-resolution version of this image, although it'll have to wait until next week as I'm in the middle of a move right now.

Yes Albert it would be very helpful.

Thanks.

BTW courage for you move

Whoaw, big time in the VCS 2600 History !

It was just awsome the way you go so quickly to find this easter egg hidden for 20 years !

I saw this topic grow and grow so fast.....

Congrats guys !!!!

My prefered time in this topic is when StanJr asked :

quote

Do these long lost initials we are talking about appear in the menu type bar at the top, say about 3/4 of the way on the right and appear in a dark blue color?

and scott replied :

quote:

*GASP*

What?!?

Stan, you're my new best friend Yep, those are the initials.

Hey scott, this is a piece of anthology.

I hope you'll include a little story about this magical message board event.

November 9, 2001

Nice find Scott.

Now I'm sure to search for a real 2nd easter egg when playing E.T.

Does someone got it or know where I can find it ?

If you don't have this exact pic, but have a similar one of the VCS with a same perspective, I'am interrested too.

Prefered : Cartridge inserted and no controllers crossing the view of the VCS.

Thanks

November 8, 2001

Hmmmm...

Computers were invented by a French Ingineer who recently win an action in law and received (him/his familly ?) a *Big* indemnity from the society who "stole" is invention paternity.

I give you the information as I get it in a scientific TV magazine I watch 15 days ago.

I am not sure that all those colors would be possible in that screenshot on an actual VCS...

I'm using the original VCS 2600 color palette ...no more, no less.

As Alex said, it's a simulator, so I'am trying to be as close as possible to the original.

But you are right, I don't have to worry about the real VCS graphic disadvantages/limitations due to cycle counting...

My game engine passes over this problem

well, yeah it's the reason why.

The others projects are for the real VCS and seems to be more advanced than mine..... but regarding all the encouragements here, I think I'll jump into the code as soon as I'd finished catapult.

all, thanks for your support
