[Giveaway Over: Mystery Box of Video Game Stuff]

What fun.  Please include me in the drawing.  Thanks!

[FS: Very nice UAV modded Atari 5200 2-port console, Atarimax cart, more **SOLD**]

Very nice.  Question:  Does it still do composite out?  Or just S-Video?

[eebuckeye]

I bought an Atari Lynx SD cart from eebuckeye and it arrived quickly and was well packed.  A good person to deal with.  Thanks.

[SOLD: Rasp Pi, Arduino, Cables, Bits & Bobs]

I'll take it if #1 falls through.  Thanks.

[FS: Lynx SD]

I'm interested in the Lynx SD cart, but I need to do a little research first.  I don't know anything about it. 

[Upgraded 600XL]

It is a beautiful machine, that's for sure.  You did a great job.  👍

Well, to be fair, it depends on the emulator.  For Altirra, as you probably already saw the replies, it's easy.  For the ST emulators, maybe not so much.

 

Good to know.  I'm mostly interested in re-living my BBS days on an Atari 800XL back in the 80's.  I'll start with Altirra for now!  Thank you all for the replies. 

 

[Atari 8-bit related BBS(s)]

Thank you guys.  I did not know that.  Sorry for my ignorance.  I will try fiddling around with Altirra this weekend.

 

[Atari 8-bit related BBS(s)]

I'm not sure if this question has been asked yet (80 pages in this thread), but is there a way to hit the Atari BBS's using an emulator?  I ask because the new version of Classic99 (TI 99/4a) has this feature and it got me thinking...

Anybody in the USA need a 3d printed shell for their PlusCart?

I have one of the "official" PlusCart Store shells you can have for the price of shipping $4.80

Shoot me a PM if interested

I am going in to the post office in the morning to mail out some USA PlusCart orders.

 

 

PM incoming.

The pots sometimes do need cleaning, exactly like 2600 paddles.  The process is the same.  If the controller no longer works, it's worth a try taking that pot apart and giving it a good internal cleaning.

 

[[WTB] Atari Books]

I need to dig them out from a box in the attic.  I'll get back to you in a few days. 

 

[My Retro-Corner]

Very nice!  That's a lot of fun packed into one small space. 

 

[[WTB] Atari Books]

I may have copies of these three.  Any ideas on the price you're looking for? 

[Yet more 2600 composite mod questions...]

Have you left the 2600 on for a while?  I have a modded 2600 that starts out dark and will brighten up after about 10 mins.  I figure it's a capacitor problem on the main motherboard.  But it works, so I don't worry about it too much. 

 

[GONE: Legend of Mother Sarah comic collection]

Heck yes.  My son would love these. PM incoming.

[(No longer available) Misc Intellivision Bric-a-Brac]

I'm in Portland.  If this stuff lasts more than a week with no takers, I'll come get it. 

 

Thanks.

 

[(GONE) Black Media Storage Shelves - North Sacramento Area CA]

Oh man, those are nice!  I'm in Portland, OR.  If it wasn't such terrible weather between here and there, I'd come grab them.

 

 

[only "Reset" exits emulation on (some) 7800]

I tried my PlusCart on a 2600jr, and the reset functions as expected.  Reset starts a game in River Raid.  Joystick-Right and Reset takes me back to the menu.

I have just tested "Mission 300 AD" with my 7800 and it worked fine.

 

You might try to unplug your joystick before you load the game (you can use Reset in the menu to load a game)

I tried the following, and the reset button always takes me back to the menu.

- No joystick plugged in. 

- 7800 2 button joystick plugged in

- single button joystick plugged in

 

My 7800 is of the newer type with no enhancement port on the side, if that makes any difference. 

 

[PlusCart (an inexpensive DIY WiFi multicart)]

For now, all I remember is "Mission 3000 AD" and the River Raid HSC.  I shall make a more comprehensive list.

 

[PlusCart (an inexpensive DIY WiFi multicart)]

Hello all:  I received my PlusCart today, and have a question.  I'm using a 7800, but I can't seem to get the reset button to work correctly.  On those games that require me to push the reset button to start -- I cannot start.  Pressing reset just takes me back to the PlusCart menu.  The manual says that should only happen if I press "right" and "reset" at the same time.  But I'm not pressing right.

 

Is this an issue with the 7800? 

[WTB: Atari 2600 Video Pinball box]

I'm trying to get boxes for the games I had as a kid (I kept the games/manuals and still have them but stupidly threw out the boxes).  One of the big ones I'm missing is Video Pinball.  If anyone has a box (or a complete CIB) please let me know.  Please and thank you!

 

Whatever condition is fine, as I'm pretty good at creating cardboard inserts for squished/flat boxes.

That's really nice of you.  I'm interested and I'll PM you.  Thanks.
