  1. I am a simple human, I see "working Pitfall 2 for 2600+" and I quote it !
  2. Man, I hope they do, though. It's THE grandaddy of the side-scrolling platformer genre (maybe the original Pitfall is the grandma?) But hey, overall, this 2600+ is a cool product and I am very optimistic now after seeing the energy being focused on improving it before and AFTER release, it sounds like -- glad to see Ben here in the thread, and if it's delayed to December for improving the device, that's great news, too! ATARI FO-EVA !
  3. Don't worry about it chief, there's a lotta big personalities here and sometimes people forget to slow down and help the new people get up to speed. Y'know, it's the internet... lol Don't give up hope on Pitfall II yet! Ben noted a few pages back that there may be a way to pull that information from the cartridge, and they will explore it. Shifting topics, but only sideways a bit -- I just discovered yesterday that the Atari 800 / 5200 version of Pitfall II has ANOTHER set of caverns after the first one!! It wasn't advertised explicitly, as corporate didn't want people to know about it. Wild! I loaded up Pitfall II on my original XBOX CoinOPS frontend and started playing last night. A new set of caverns?!? Sign me up, I never thought I could get to play MORE Pitfall II than already existed! https://www.ign.com/articles/pitfall-iis-secret-sequel And a bit more detail from a small retro review of the game years earlier: https://commaeightcommaone.wordpress.com/2016/09/03/pitfall-ii-lost-caverns-review/ Cool!
  4. I got excited and made a pre-order a few weeks ago, but I won't lie, I'm having regret reading that 'Pitfall II' might not work -- that game is like HALO was to the XBOX for me. It's a constant, and looking across the room, I see stacked on my 2600 right now Pitfall, Pitfall II, Donkey Kong, and Mario Bros. (was having a Nintendo moment this weekend). Has anyone been able to test Pitfall II ? Confirmed not working?
  5. Whew, old history, nice necro! I have long since moved this unit on, but I don't recall any lock-ups when I was using this mod. Others may have better advice for you if you are more specific about the exact BIOS you used, and then the specific games that are locking. Details of lock-up (when it happens, what it looks like), will probably help people, too. I'm sure SOMEONE will have an idea if you give that information! -a2a
  6. Hey, nifty! I will be interested to read the build-log ! I'm sure it will be a better 2600 portable than the ones I have seen in the stores recently ! I still have my board, but never got around to adding a ROM into the blank slot. Mostly because I couldn't figure out how to design a pull-up resistor that would turn OFF the soldered-in ROM when a REAL cartridge was slotted in!
  7. Could someone be so kind as to link me to a U.S. seller of SMD switches that would work for the FinalGROM99 ? I foolishly requested a board WITHOUT switches and LEDs, before I knew about c0d3m4st4's excellent 3D-printed case. I just ordered a case from him, and would like to take advantage of the 3D buttons that he includes. I have plenty of 5mm LEDs, but am having a hard time digging through parts lists online to find a perfect fit for the SMD switch... Thanks in advance to anyone that can assist! It might be useful for others, too!
  8. PM sent, this is great timing, just got a "new" TI-99 and am looking forward to this!
  9. Understandable, FTP sites can get hammered, no matter what sort of limits you set up. Looks like I got what I needed for the moment, so no worries, carry on! Thanks for the reply!
  10. Thank you! That is very kind of you. I appreciate it! Everything else on the Internet wants to give me a solution, and I just want the list of possible commands and general instructions so I can figure it out myself! Great scan, by the way, excellent quality!
  11. Password seems to have been reset? Would love access, am looking for 'Return to Pirate's Isle' manual scan, maybe it's there? Thanks!!
  12. Great looking set of fun stuff! I'm looking for a simple computer for my toddler, since it's what I grew up playing with. I'll shoot you a PM and see if we can work something out!

    You can't, actually. Best bet is to stalk eBay, where one might appear every few months. Here's the last few: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cuttle-Cart-2-New-Atari-7800-Chad-Schells-Electronics-Rare-/222177770272?hash=item33bad3bb20:g:5o0AAOSwXeJXfCP8 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-7800-Cuttle-Cart-2-Multi-Cart-by-Chad-Schell-Multicart-/131751854295?nma=true&si=XKtx919%252BDS1AQMWguizRHXLPN%252BQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Definitely need a new product to fill this niche in the marketplace... -a2a
  14. Beautiful... Too bad the game will never see the light of day! A project long-abandoned. Who knows, maybe someone else will pick up the banner and charge forward.
