    Hi im just starting off using bB but i have ran into a little problem that when i have compiled the code it runs but is just a flashing screen? Probably sounds a bit silly but if some one could point out what i done wrong in the code would be great. Thanks. Oh it seems my project didnt compile or something it says 0k and isnt bas.bin just bas. So how am i going to show the code :? does AA allow people to post code?

    Why not just use an emulator? Stella is fairly accurate now and is only getting better i have a 2600 console but use emulator.

    You can always use an old PC with Svideo out and pug it straight to the CRT.

    Yeah its real fun to play on original hardware but i say collect it in mint condition and play emulator.

    I find PC is more reliable as you can keep backing it up if your hard drive fails not to mention emulation looks better on LCD/LED TV's.

     

    My next project is going to be an emulator box or Arcade machine but not sure what to build first :?

    Well here is another one i said i would make with a revamped DK jr Sprite, still not that good but atleast he doesnt look so much like the gingerbread man lolDonkey Kong (Hack).bin.a26

     

    Edit: I forgot to mention that DK will jump left and right this is not a bug because its a single sprite that flips in reverse and back again. You will notice on the original DK he does the same but its a front on view, this trick saves space rather then using two sprites for animation.

    Here is a small one i done changed Jumpmans nose a little, the barrels dont look like Pizza's and slightly changed DK himself. Also the teapot looking enemy's in stage two are just a random sprite i made not to sure if i happy with them though. All i know is the DK sprite doesnt have much room to play with so design is very limited. However im think of modifying a DKjr sprite to replace DK but gotta see if it looks ok. Anyway have a look if you want :)Donkey Kong (Hack).bin.a26

    Hi guys,

    I tried doing a channel scan with the Atari in the antenna port, but it seems to be still picking up tv signals on channels 2 and 3, so i've got no way of telling if it's working.

    Thanks, purplecashew

     

    Have you tried it on a VCR? Also try to swap out the power supply if you can although i know Atari stuff can be very hard to come by in Australia. Might want to check out the RF cable as i know my 2600 jr began to give me problems ,lucky the jr can be replaced with a VCR cable.

    Was never a fan of mac computers ,i always wanted to like them as they looked so different and mysterious but never could. Thing is i started with Dos on the PC side of things then followed onto Win 3.11 and so forth.

     

    As a young lad my two first computers ever were a IBM 286 running Dos of course and an Atari 2600. I used to actually like looking through the directory (dir/p) :) and typing .exe on the end of the run file lol. Was sorta like a game in it self.

     

    However i do find the other apple products very cool indeed like the Ipod ,iphone and pad are great products.

    its just IBM Dos and Atari2600 i have a soft spot for.

     

    RIP Steve

    Personally i dont think a graphic hack will help as the sprites are already fairly good for the 2600 ,only the alligator's sprite looks bad. Note that i said sprite as it is just one sprite that reverses making it look like two. So in other words i say it would need to be coded just for that simple graphic hack.

     

    Other then that to add vine restructure with two additional stages the game would need a complete work over.

    Would be impressive and nice to see none the less

    @ Save2600 Yeah i found it a bit odd as the PAL version you can just hold down the fire button and it auto fires anyway. I was the same tho ,never knew because i grew up as a kid with the PAL version in Australia. I sorta like it better as i can time my shots rather then auto fire the whole time. Awesome game never the less ,was always one the first carts id throw in the system

    I like Vanguard and was one my favorites back in the day ,only thing i did not like was the shrimp sprites. Funny you speak of this game i just made a hack yesterday to change the choppers,balls,shrimp and arrows. They are now different style choppers the balls are space mines ,shrimp are UFO's with magnetic force field and arrows look more like space ships. I uploaded a .bin in the 2600 hacks section of the forum but is PAL version as i did not like the auto fire on NTSC version

    Hi fellow AA members just done a Vangard gfx hack to change some sprites and stuff.

     

    Player ship: More sleek

    First wave: Chopper's (Not sure about)

    Balls: Into Space Mines

    Shrimp: Into UFO's with magnetic force field withing a close radius

    Arrows: Into Space Ships (also not sure about)

     

    If you think the choppers and arrow space ships look silly let me know ,other then that i am happy with my UFO's and Space Mines :)

    Vanguard (2011) (TT2600) (PAL) !.bin

    Im from Australia too and yes most our older TV's do not need a coax adapter it should plug straight in. Have you tuned in the Atari like its a TV station? As long as its connected to the RF input turn the Atari's power on and do a station scan on the TV. Even if its just a black screen it should find that ,and no the VCS does not make any noise when on. If still nothing try another TV if nothing again sounds like there could be a problem with the system ,also someone you know may know about tuning Atari's/VCR's in
