    I got my IIGS and a //e from a Facebook marketplace post for free. I had worked on Apples in school when I was growing up and picked these up because of the price and because of the nostalgia itch. I wound up selling the //e mostly because I didn't have room or need for both machines.

    The best thing I did for my 2gs was to install a CFFA3000 card and bump the memory up to 4 MB. Still looking for an elusive transwarp at a good price.

    You don't need to buy a ROM.  I always post them here (final versions) for people to use with an emulator/multi cart.

    Thank you! :)

     

    Bob, 

     

    Is there a way we can support your efforts if we're selectively buying carts due to lack of space? :)

     

    Thanks for all you do!

    I would not object to a ROM release. I am a big fan of my multi SD-carts, because I like to just turn my systems on and go.  I am also honored that Al approached me about a cartridge, so I don't want to do anything that could result in eBay bootleg carts being made before it hits the AA store.
     
    Did I see mention of possible AA store digital releases in the future? I might have dreamed that. If that's true I would probably want give the AA Store first dibs on handling that, since that would go back to supporting AtariAge and the work that goes into keeping it going.
    I'm not sure if concerto or one of the other flash carts allows you to lock a ROM to a cart, like you can with the Intellivision glad cart. If not, I've seen ROMs where the purchaser's name is embedded into the ROM file itself so, if it does get leaked, you know who leaked it.

    Final version posted, unless a breaking change is found.

    Darryl, 

     

    Will you be offering a ROM version of the full game for purchase or will it be cartridge only? Thanks!

    Two of the post-Mattel Intellivision releases were Nice Ideas that were released by Dextell, Ltd. It's been well-documented that Nice Ideas was originally a Mattel Electronics branch office. Who was Dextell? Were they just a distribution arm of Nice Ideas or were they something else?

    Heya @RevEng, just a point of interest. I was recently trying all the Pokey enabled games with my Concerto cart and I discovered that Serpentine has a white background when playing through the cart. (Timestamp: 38:56)

     

     

    From what I can tell, it looks like games that don't set the the background colour explicitly to another colour are taking the white background from the Concerto Cart and using it in the game. This also happened when I tried Knight Guy on Board, the title screen had a white background as well (Timestamp: 1:11:01). It's now been fixed in his latest update for the game.

    I also noticed this with my Concerto. It made the game look like an O2 one. :)

    Hopefully this gets addressed soon.

    As has been mentioned here and on the BSR page, the Intellivision III concept was born A) as a stop-gap to compete with both the Atari 5200 and Colecovision and B) as a means to buy time for the Intellivision IV development. 

     

    That said, does anyone actually know when Mattel was targeting the Intellivision IV for release (before everything went south, that is)?

     

    I do have to say that 1985 was an amazing year on Earth 233, as it saw a grand battle between the Inty IV, Atari 7800, NES, SMS and CV2 for home dominance. :D

    Despite not using pokey, it looks like BonQ writes to a "pokey" at $4000. This destroys the rom at $4000, if it's actually a ram cart.

     

    Does this one work any better?

     

    BonQ (Final AtariAge) No Pokey Init Hack.a78 48.13 kB · 10 downloads

     

    The game still has a bug where it tries to write to $FFFF, but even if it does that it would just mess up the IRQ vector, and there's no source of IRQ.

     

    Works perfectly. Thank you, sir!

    Things that need to be stickied: use images from Trebor's 7800 ROM PROPack before reporting issues.  If you're still having problems after doing so, let us know.  Thanks.  

    I did find that the BonQ ROM in Trebor's Pack did not work for me on the Concerto ROM .95. It's garbled and freezes almost as soon as I start the game.

    I just got the Concerto and I am able to play the Pokey music in games like Popeye, Donkey Kong PK and Pac Man Collection. However, I get no music when I play Commando. I am running firmware .95.

    Is this a known issue and is there a fix?

    Thanks!
