  1. With David Crane mentioning that the Circus Convoy ROMs are currently not compatible with the Harmony Encore cart, are there plans to provide an update to the cart after the game is released in order to allow it to be used without issue? 

     

    Thanks!

  2. I saw on Intellivision Revolution that Stadium Mud Buggies was released by BSR yesterday and was available on the eBay store. Viewing the store, I saw that only Party Line was available. Did SMB sell out? If so, will more be offered? Thanks!

    But yes, look to the service manuals on how to do this. There are also eyeball methods other use like adjusting the trimmer until the crosshair in missile command is centered as an example.

    I found the service manual online at lunch and looked up the Pokey Adjust. It said that the Horizontal for port 1 should be 112 + or - 1. Mine is at 92 :) . I guess I know where I'm going to start when I look at it later :)

    @Cafeman It sounds like you need your 5200 and your controllers re-calibrated to each other. It was because of something similar on mine that I eventually ended up buying the controller loop back board along with the diagnostic cart to test and correct for this. You have to do them all together because it doesn't do any good to adjust the pokey to factory values if the pots in the controllers are also slightly off as well.

     

    I do have the issues you mentioned with Gyruss and Bounty Bob so I would like to attempt to calibrate my 5200 and controllers. I just purchased an Atarimax and have the diagnostic cart ROMs copied over to it.

    Are there detailed instructions on how to use these diagnostics tools to calibrate everything together? Also, where does one obtain the loop back board that you mentioned?

    Thank you!

     

     


  5. Are the SGMs still available for purchase? I recently got an Atarimax and realized I may need to invest in an SGM with all that's out there for it. Thanks!

    You have to use the hacked version of Bounty Bob for it to work on the AtariMax cart. The hacked version is 512k.

    I tried using the 'Merged' version from AA on my AtariMax, and while it boots, it doesn't respond to right movement with my machine. Where can one find the 512K version? 

     


  7. Just reserved mine.

    3 multicarts down (Intellivison, 2600 and 7800), only 4 to go (Colecovision, 5200, N64 and Genesis) -- until I start making googly-eyes at the O2 and TI-99/4A again, or finally get a Vectrex. 

     

    Maybe I should start a GoFundMe page! :D
