[Sealed Atari 2600 Vidco Copy Cart on Ebay]

It sure would seem that way. Does this happen very often? May have kept legit bidders away over the weekend.

Yea. Make that 41 now.

Shady dealings.

What's the point of doing this?

[Unreleased Colecovision game titles... ...on Puffy Stickers]

Found these in my video game collection storage.

Puffy stickers, 8 per sheet, featuring arcade marquee style logos screenshots of VENTURE, MOUSE TRAP,

It's cool that half of these were never released- SPECTAR, MR.TURTLE, RIP CORD, SIDE TRAK

and both HEAD TO HEAD BASEBALL and FOOTBALL were handheld games that would get released, renamed as 'Super Action' titles.

 

I think its interesting that they'd release stickers for games that wouldn't make it to stores.

Judging by the 1982 copyright, I'm thinking marketing must have been working a little bit ahead of the rest of the company?

***After consideration, and some member blocking, I decided to end the auction early and relist it with a Buy It Now of 80% what it got up to.

[Rare VIDCO COPY CART - Complete & Factory Sealed]

Hey thanks for all the responses I'll be getting to you all shortly!

[Rare VIDCO COPY CART - Complete & Factory Sealed]

Does it say 'Vidco' on the box?

 

It doesn't shout a brand name like you might expect of a legit product; but the VidCo name is used quite a bit throughout the instruction panels on front and back referencing the source cartridge as your "pre-selected VidCo cart."

 

From what I gather VidCo rebranded Zimag game carts for this one-off product - the included game cartridge, Dishaster and/or Tanks But No Tanks may have been stamped or imprinted with VidCo logo.

[Rare VIDCO COPY CART - Complete & Factory Sealed]

Is this like... a game duplicator? I'm not really clear what this doing but it appears you 'take cartridge, press button, copy is now on copy cart'. Is that right?

That's correct. Game sharing made easy - 80's style.

I added the instruction photo from the back of the box. Check it out - and always use fresh batteries!

[Rare VIDCO COPY CART - Complete & Factory Sealed]

Still factory sealed, new and complete in the box, Vidco Copy Cart, packed with 'Dishaster.'

 

In the early 2000s, I bought a little dead stock for sale in a used record/head shop.

It was boxed common games and a couple third party controllers however, there were also 2 new-in-the-box sealed Vidco Copy Carts!

In 2003, I traded one of the Copy Carts to another forum member.

I hung on to this one for another 15 years Because it was the cool point of interest in my collection.

Almost pushed 'List It' on this as an ebay auction.

Thanks for looking and any advice or serious offers you can make.

*edit* couple more photos added to show the instructions on the back.

 

[New demoscene release for 2600]

You guys are amazing. outstanding demos!

[Chip-dub homebrew music cartridge in the works]

That is really cool.

 

Hey thanks,

I programmed the WOPD cart and had Albert here at Atariage make them, that's available at the link above.

My bandmate did this new 'dub cart' and is considering building them himself per order.

So yea, it's still up in the air.

I'll bump this topic or contact anyone interested here when he has an idea of release date and price!

Thanks for the interest!

[Help needed with a 2600 A/V mod]

I would GUESS that its a capacitor or 2 respsonsible for the color value warming up and changing your colors.

Some components on the pcb are going to be more sensitive to heat then others. Capacitors are made to operate within a range of values and they will change with temperature and other environmental factors. Cheaply made caps will have a wider range of operating tolerance.

Check out a working prototype of a new music cartridge from my band Burnkit2600! Written on/with tools by Paul Slocum and Ctrix, it features two stella-ized versions of songs from their "Duke Dubious Digital Dub Selector" album.

 

It'll be a follow up to our 2003 cartridge release for Wepaons of Past Distractions.

[Found a Luma Phone - Anyone Have the Instructions?]

This topic has been dead awhile but I was just thinking of how this lumaphone is sitting in a closet. I've had it for a few years now. I like the video output, the images look great and blocky on my TV.

Anyone stateside on the forum still have one?

[Miniature Golf Plus Released]

Hey cool,

You picked my ridiculous dino-volleyball level.

Thats the most productive coffee break ive had in a while then.

thanks for the fun contest.. i look forward to getting a copy soon.

[synthcart.]

sounds good daniel.

youve got some interesting rhythmic things happening

and theres a nice progression to the track as a whole.

but thats one gigantic file. keep up the good werk

[Miniature Golf+ level designers wanted]

3 Australia only HES Multicarts

 

awesome prize!

[Z26 for Xbox!]

You just unzip the file, then FTP it over to the Xbox HD along with your roms and that's it

 

nice. i've been considering getting an xbox, news about Mame and now Z26 have finally pushed me over the edge.

 

So once you've got all the files on the X, can you save all that info ?

[Z26 for Xbox!]

WOW thats so sweet.

 

was it difficult to set up the emulator?

or do you just burn the program to cdr with all the roms in a particular folder?

[Novel: Lucky Wander Boy]

Halfway through this book now. So far - its great.

Its not often that i find a book where i can identify with a character.

[Miniature Golf+ level designers wanted]

very cool label. This finished cart should be a lot of fun.

[Check this relic out]

Thanks Cassidy for the handful of chips.

Unfortuantely, none of them seemed to have worked properly.

I got some interesting bars and patterns but no games.

 

So, i cleaned the chip connector points and later opened up the cart to see if there were any loose connections, but it all looks ok.

 

As long as i got it open, thought you guys might like to see the inside of this device.

 

Anyone see anything that looks out of place or have any other suggestions?

[my new song]

well lets have it then.

how do i go about getting it made?

[my new song]

Hey thanks Cassidy,

I cant take any credit for the 'video' of course- thats all Paul's program.

 

Id love a cart of the song! I doubt anyone else would have any use or it, but man.. I would.

 

GPR- I keep changing my effect settings for it, but i'll crank something out and see about getting the MP3 page pronto.

[my new song]

Thanks GPR,

After as few hours with the sequencer kit youll gt the hang of it, its fun once you get rolling. im no progrrammer either - wait a minute i guess i am now.. . kinda sorta.

 

I wonder if anyone would be interested in hearing the end product of what the track sounds like when i play through my modded atari with the EQ, effects and stuff on it. maybe ill get an mp3.com page or something.

[my new song]

Thanks Paul for the praise and all your help.

 

Sorry i cant help you foxglove with the internet explorer and crashing.

 

gulag - ive gotten great results with z26,

but the tempo is unsteady when you run other programs.

i like z26's sound best, compared to a real atari, the sound its only slightly thinner and the tempo clocks a little faster.

 

I wish z26 could have an option to pan the 2 oscillators to the left and right.

that would make song developing a little easier.

Im going to try and tackle a drum and bass track next using mainly two panned drum tracks.. so that would be key.
