Hijack thread alert! My Verison has this: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/216037-dk-arcade-2600-new-4-level-demo/?p=2818302 Move Joystick direction to select Character and Level Order

Payment sent! Thanks Al and Bob! P.S. I didnt get glow-in-the-dark, but did get translucent. I think Ill put a LED inside. Anyone have advice as to pin / resistor values?

Just for the simple fact that audio and pot paddle function is all that is needed for all arcade games use, and all the remaining functions are not needed in the arcade games, I strongly doubt this project will ever reproduce 100% the entire POKEY chip used in home computers.

You’re welcome! And thank you for making carts when you didn’t have to, and for your amazing game programming of course. Let us us know how to pay when figured out. You can message me privately and I’ll gladly send a check, or whatever you decide. (South central PA.)

20. Please

It’s too bad the full size posters didn’t sell well enough. I bought the Space Rocks full size poster. Looks great next to Asteroids poster that AtGames sold a while back (4 Classic Atari arcade games). I had to make my own Star Castle Arcade full size poster because the winning artwork is amazing! As shown by James’ 7800 Galaga framed artwork, new art for the same old game really works.

I hope you find this out. I tried Mappy on RetroN77 on the newest Stella. The lag is so bad I completely miss the platforms I intend to jump onto! This was with a USB keyboard arrow keys. Sorry, this is just one observation, not a proper test.

CHAMP Games will be programming this with me doing the game art, sounds and music. Avalanche, Wizard of Wor arcade, Galaga, and Zoo Keeper are coming out first.

Oh, okay. I initially misunderstood and thought you were shaming UNO cart for ripoff. The YouTube is in Portuguese and links to a hardware seller. So that website that claims they make Harmony and Uno carts? Possibly a seller from Brazil? (Domain is in Mali, Africa.) Brazil has always illegally copied Atari hardware going back to the 1980’s. Yes that is not nice, but realistically I think it would be impossible to shut down something like that.

Can you clarify what you mean? Your linked video is in another language. The UNO cart is based on an open source design that anyone can make/build, or am I wrong about that?

Worked on previously by CHAMP Games Johnny said, and done by Bob DeCrescenzo on the 7800. Bob has shared his Astro Blaster enemy data with me. He would probably do the same for Moon Cresta if asked. That means the sound is already done as well in TIA (for both)... I hated both as 25¢ arcade games, but as a home console game, Astro Blaster 7800 is one of my top favorites!

Truth:

Not in the “normal way”. AtariAge can’t sell them due to content. A physical cart has to be on AtariAge’s Melody board because DPC+ functions are handled by the ARM computer chip. It may be a “thread” post here, or possibly a Facebook group. A donation covering materials sort of thing gets you a gift.

P.S. The latest 8K version of new Pacman is this post: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/229152-new-pacman-for-atari-2600/?p=4131166 The added “cornering speedup” really make game play arcade accurate. If you play the arcade version, you will notice. The final 4K version in that thread is amazing too - with cut scenes! Works on Starpath Supercharger.

I could/should have attended this - from owning an 800XL in the 80s to local Atari club and BBSs. Missed a Pinball event this weekend too. I need to pay attention more!

Not just Space Zap, but also Wizard of Wor on Bally / Astrocade (called Incredible Wizard). It sounded the same with simpler graphics because the arcade games of both used the same hardware and sound - the Bally / Astrocade having less of the expensive screen RAM.

The first post in this thread does have 106 PAL BIOS: harmony_105.zip 66.28KB hbios_106_NTSC.bin 133KB hbios_106_PAL50.bin 133KB

Here is my “art” for the next show’s Space Raid I made years ago

I’m deciding on this. Thank you for an LTO cart ROM release option! For me it is not so much the higher cost in deciding to purchase, but rather the presentation and information about the game. I almost passed initially because the video above does not show the game play with the Intellivision’s Yamaha sound chip. Customers want to see and hear whey they are buying. The other video does have the game’s sound. The next reason was the text spelling grammar mistakes. Lowercase after a period, uppercase after a comma, and words like Bucks unnecessarily capitalized — all that in just the first half of the video. Things are a lot better than before when you would just have buy a homebrew on the name, the game objective and/or story, and maybe the artwork. You took the time to post game screen shots, and to post videos. On other systems l, I decide to buy a physical release if I have played a demo of the full game, played a release build during the development — or at least watched a video of someone playing along with their comments.

ZeroPageHomebrew streams on Twitch with an RGB modded six switcher. He reported UnoCart-2600 did not work until he soldered a jumper across an inductor — a part dropped from the design during the early six switch days. A jumper across this part adds compatibility with a couple original game carts such as River Raid II along with some modern home-brew (Stay Frosty 2, Reindeer Rescue). If your Uno works on an Atari Jr. this is possibly why it’s failing for you. The jumper pictures are here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/232964-stay-frosty-2-doesnt-work-on-six-switchers/?p=3138247

It’s all usable. Get a grinder / sanding wheel to remove excess... Seriously, thanks for trying! You and your games still rock!

Add an ultraviolet LED to the PCB, and they will self-glow! Possibly? Add $5.00 - $7.50 to the cost.

Good to hear all is well! My Heavy Sixer modded this way is also still fine. This jumpered part remained removed for the rest of the Atari 2600’s life. Adding compatibility for a few games counts as “a good thing” mod in my book, adding value rather than removing value, which is why I decided to do this jumper mod on an otherwise outstandingly designed and built original Atari VCS “Heavy Sixer”. The only other “bad” thing on the original woodgrain design, including through the early 4-switch, was that static electricity can come in through the joystick ports and kill an IC which leads to joystick failure in certain directions. The factory-recommended fix was to add diodes at the joystick connector, replacing capacitors, and that foil “tape” across the switches to the ground of the metal shielding. If you see the metal foil tape inside a woodgrain Atari 2600, this has already been modded or came from the factory that way.

I love the "Trooper" Joysticks, and have bought 4 of them!
