  1. Would anyone be able to create a .bin file that contains music to American Bandstand: 

    I'd like to put on a cartridge and have it autoplay when inserted into the console.

      Holy crap. This is amazing. I don't even think it needs to be adjusted. I love it.

       

      I owe you one!

      Thanks, @carlsson! Looks like it's only for PC. The tool was a .exe file. I'm on a Mac :(

       

      But that looks like what I was hoping for, something that could take a midi file and convert to ASM code.

      Is there a tool that can convert midi to TIA sound?

      I'm essentially trying to emulate the experience of the president at the end, where he inserts the cassette and Bandstand Boogie plays. I want the person who puts the "game" cart into the Atari to have the same thing happen — they're expecting a game but get Bandstand Boogie instead. So, I guess to accomplish that I wouldn't need the whole song, just a part of it. That said, I'd be good with the first 30 seconds of the song. Could it be made to loop?

       

      Thanks!

      @carlsson It's the song that plays at the end of Escape from New York, when the president plays the tape. I'm sure not many people today know the song, let alone the name of the song.

      Or if someone could show me how to do it. I'm not Atari development savvy. Thanks!

  9. Anyone know the paper stock/weight used for Atari 2600 boxes?

  10. Anyone else experiencing delays in package deliveries? UPS delivered a package to a nearby post office 3 days ago and I still haven't received it.

      UPS would be more on point if they just delivered the packages straight to my door!

  11. Anyone have a decent boxed copy of Pac-Man for the 2600 at a reasonable price? eBay sucks. Thanks.

      Agree 100%. I was just hoping for a better box. I don't mind paying $10-$15, but not if it looks like someone's dog ate it.

  13. A friend passed away today. Lung cancer. Just 42. Heavy smoker and weed taker. She leaves behind 5 kids, youngest being 14, and a 2 year old granddaughter. Medical negligence played a part.

  14. I put a Back to The Future tshirt i got at Universal Studio's in the 90's on ebay this morning, and it sold hours later for $66. I feel legitimately bad charging that. At least try and low ball me for my crusty old t-shirt so we can meet in the middle!

      You should have gotten 88 dollars for it.

      I was not quite 4 when Star Wars came out. So I missed that. Then my grandfather took me to see Empire when I was about 7 and I fell asleep. By the time ROTJ rolled around, though, every kid in my neighborhood had a plastic lightsaber. Good freakin' times.

      With a Buy It Now price like that, why even bother bidding?

  20. Burger King's Whopper Jr. is hands-down the best burger in fast food history.

      Hard to disagree. Best non-fast food burger I ever had was in a hole-in-the-wall bar named Krug's Tavern in Newark NJ. Best burger ever.

      So sorry. Praying for you. Keep fighting.

  25. Nothing like having your package arrive at the NJ distribution center a few miles from your house on Thursday and then somehow end up in Jamaica, NY on Friday.
