30th is neither Gold or Pearl, it is Emerald. And some of us have been months working on 30th anniv. specific releases

@Rom Hunter. I like your inclusion of the CX/Serial data. I did that seperately in my database yet after seeing your list I like the layout. Best guess is that between you and I we have about 800 roms differance I am efforting to juxtapose our two databases. This will mainly come from your release set as my database mainly relies upon CCIT/CRC32 for identification. I see you even included one of my releases I no longer have since my system crashed. Very cool. My database is usually only released in major format once a year and as I just did that, it will be a while, but I think between your efforts at non alpha/beta/etc and mine, we have what will become the most accurate database thus far. PS I do my releases under SnailSoft, not Zumwalt. Can't wait for your set!

The large size, as you say, is because of all the tools, graphics, guides, etc, listed in the post at http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99261 However, for those just interested in ROMs only, I have compressed the 4,216 Hmmm, couldn't get the file to attatch to this post so I have uploaded it to RapidShare. It is an ACE archive in a ZIP archve. WinACE and WinRAR should handle it fine. 5,538 k http://rapidshare.com/files/9807340/Atari2...012007.zip.html

@Gateway, thanks for the support. At anyone else, the archive has been burnt and sent. You can view some of the details at: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99261

Rom Hunter, make sure to check out my recent list at http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99261 Even since that post I have added another 20 roms submitted by users. My total is around 4,200 working BINs. The CD archive was sent out, now it is up to others to post the 617 Mb file.

Not precisely. True I am using a modified version of your last release, but it remains basicly the same. It runs slightly better on XP and can be called from my scripts. More precisely to the post, I created a new database of over 4,200 roms and their relationships. True, anyone could do it, yet most have not. I find the tool especially useful to identifying unknown roms. For example, many of the unknown had a 98% match to the Marble Craze beta's. By researching forums for early MC releases, I was able to identify the roms as Marble Craze alpha's.

This is the last CRC and Clone Relationship update for the year 2006. Additionally, I have released a new archive package. I can't provide a download link myself as I've limited bandwidth. When those who receive the CD can upload the archive, they will post the links, so please don't ask me. ArchiveDATA2006final.zip

Okay. Sorry to hear about the crash but at least I know. I am sure the others were never released either, just considerations. For now, I have just short of 4,200 BINs and have finished coding the new frontend. This isn't the forum to post all the changes... way too long. If you haven't released the files or posted them, I'm not concerned. I am always looking though for anything not in my set. I think for now, I will go with what I have and get this new package onto CD. I did manage to crush it down from a Gb to CD size... whew. And yes, I do pay attention I think the work on bBasic is great and I'm glad to know it didn't fall to the wayside.

Been all over that site, thanks. And yes, it does spider. I am still missing a few that have been reported as released beta/WIPs. MISSING both source and BIN Dorothy_X_(BAtari).bin Go-B_Fight_for_the_Desert_(BAtari).bin Gravity_Sucks_(BAtari).bin Panther_by_s0c7_(BAtari).bin Pirate_by_s0c7_(2005_Minigame_Compo)_(BAtari).bin Quakman_vs_Growl_(BAtari).bin Sdioretsa_(BAtari).bin Street_Racer_by_Atari2600Land_(BAtari).bin Tank_Assault_(BAtari).bin untitled_sudoku_project_by_SeaGtGruff_(part_Basic/part_ASM)_(BAtari).bin This is what is in my present list. I have attatched them. I am close to posting the new CRC list and will at that time post a link to the full public set. If you have others, please let me know, meanwhile, this should help.

Thanks. As keeper of the 2600 archives project, this really saved some time as this forum prevents spidered downloads and each page must be manually processed one at a time.

This may have been covered already, and if so, appologies. I check in here every few weeks to get updates, check news, etc. I thought it strange that since March I've had almost no news from the Stella Biglist. I was even more shocked to see the level of posts here since last I checked. Coming here first, as I always do, I then proceeded over there to find out- 1. I am not alone in this 2. The Biglist is no longer archiving posts 3. The Biglist is deleting all attatchments This is very unfortunate. It also explains much, and there are many posts there by and for people advising to leave that forum and join here. I have mixed feelings on this, but wholey understand and want to extend my gratitude for this forum remaining as is.

LOL, its amazing as the years go by that people are still interested in some of this stuff. Back then, this forum was not so good for posting files. Recently, I've had requests for this archive. As such, I am uploading it here again, under the new forum changes. This is the exact same archive as back then, unchanged, just in a single ZIP file. VaderMatic.zip

Appologies, but I don't keep track of specificly "new" additions. This comes from many people uploading. Sometime dupes show up. Sometimes I don't update myself for months. As such, I wait until I get about 100 new additions, clean, test, ID, sort, and repost. Sometime the timestamps help. You can with some ease, go to http://snailsoft.fdns.net:10080 then the server folder, and obtain the whole collection as one archive.

I have not ever taken one back, but the closest I came was E.T.

Fire Fox... played it start to finish in just under 14 hours... ouch then Asteroids, rolling it... after that, I made my own auto-fire joystick with thumb switch for normal or repeat mode

Interesting... they are not in any known database including my own. Also, a test of the files shows 2 sets of duplicate match's with varied names: "SpiderKong-Goliath.bin","4/24/2005 8:01:20 PM","4096","59b9fff1","73956" "SpiderKong-Plain.bin","4/24/2005 8:01:20 PM","","","" "SpiderMaze-KTel.bin","4/24/2005 8:01:20 PM","","","" "VultureAttack-KTel.bin","4/24/2005 8:01:20 PM","4096","e506bdb2","738e2" "SpaceMonster-KTel.bin","4/24/2005 8:01:20 PM","","","" If you would not mind zipping your set and uploading it for comparison I greatly appreciate it, including your now removed Ice Hockey prototype. Stella is not the best means to test roms. http://snailsoft.fdns.net:10080/upload1.htm

Okay, guess I should have mentioned this for the noobs... I have gotten a PM about all the missing GOOD roms, expressly the [o] ones. While I've stated this before, its been a while... Cowering and I do not agree on how the database should be. This is why I make my own. His take on it is that if a file was ever considered a 2600 rom, its to be listed. My take, is that I have no need for proven trash data [o]=overdumped trash. I feel if people want trash data, I can supply you with an A/D noise generator that will eliminate any free space on a drive in minutes. As such, anything from Cowerings list thats trash, will not be found in my collection. Personaly, I've never understood the people who want "perfect GOOD sets". Also, and noted in the CRC file are name differances. Cowering uses certain characters in his set such as commas and exclamations which can cause many programs to crash, especially on UNIX systems.

3,647 BIN files ID'd As always, if you have a BIN not listed, feel free to upload it to: Atari 2600 Uploads and it will be included in the next update. For those new to the CRC database I create, it is in plain text format and looks something like so: CRC-32 CCITT CRC-16 size name ----------------------------------------------- 3795B948 2FA9 FAA2 4096 11_Sprite_Demo_(Piero_Cavina)_(PD).bin crc.zip

If anyone wants, they may upload them to my archive which will make them immediately available to others. http://SnailSoft.fDNS.Net:10080

http://SnailSoft.fDNS.Net:10080 Thomas, I made the corrections, thanks for the input. I am now running my server again, so no more issues with hosting. I have set things up differently, and hope this works well.

Thanks Thomas... will update in next posting.

hmmm, it seems the host tried to insert so ads for their site into the files and corrupted them Fortunately, some of my new hardware arrived today, so I will be opening my server back up soon.

So long as this format works, in the future, updates will be done seperately so that people do not have to download the entire archive again.

I have updated the site. I am using an archive plugin that reportedly allows extraction under: DOS, Windows, Mac and Linux Some bad files were removed. Some new files added.

Thomas, right you are. Forgive me... I did in deed run Good2600 prior, and of the 300+ unknowns I had, it was able to identify 11. That left me with trying CloneSpy, manual testing, and a whole lot of www hunting. After many grueling hours of research, I stopped at just 16 remaining unknowns posted as 2600 bins. Just before archiving, I was sent another batch of roms and threw them in... and that was my mistake, I didn't completely check them or I'd have caught that the unknown_protos were sources, not BINs. As such, I have removed 7 files from the archive. I will also have several more recent hacks to throw in to it. I was planning to wait until I had more before making a new updated, however, with the removal, additions, and changing of format, will work on the update soon. Saikyo... Yes, the I'm a Dumb Stupid @ss commitee can indeed be fought, and even beaten, but only if you are very patient, have a lot of nerve, and most importatly, are in the legal right. It is not something I reccomend risking just because you want a complete rom set for your emulator. and Bruce Tomlin... while you make a good point that this is a windows only selfectractor, a condition that did not even occure to me, I think it inappropriate that you should take over half a post to bash a utility merely because if failted to meet your expectations. A simple request to use another method would have been quite sufficient. As to SFX archives, true, their is a risk... but, that was also my choice for ACE, as it can do multipart, has a built in CRC test, and can lock the archive from any alterations. The only reason I split the archive, is that the host only allows a max of 650Kb upload :/ And, since I know how much of a pain it is to get a software just to extract a file, SFX seemed best. Bashing and your personal dislike for ACE aside, I will look at a cross OS archive option and repost the updated archive soon.
