    I was thinking of cart pictures taken by me or fellow members who physically own their respective carts. i figure that would be covered by fair use. screen shots too i would imagine to be the same way as per pat contri's nintendo book. I guess its about fair use and what Atari thinks is such. Its hard to have a cart guide with variants without visual examples. which i would think be covered by fair use.

     

    For as packaging and manuals i planned not to include in the book due to said reasons you stated. but cart scans if credit given to the respective cart/ photo holder that should cover copyright claims on that.

     

    Kickstarter I might need help for getting things printed and get the ball rolling. ( depending on how much this would cost and if can by myself afford to self kickstart this project). Time will tell and not too worried about that at this point ( day 4 of my project).

     

    My advertising plan would be limited to here and a few other boards that I think might have some interest in the completion of this book. ( which is why for this feeler thread to see if there is enough interest for me to continue this project further).

     

    It would be nice to be able to fulfill this book to the people who are big into this area..

     

     

    What i wish i could see is what that book looked like on kickstarter before the claim was made. Would be nice to see what they were doing /way they were doing it and compare that to how pat did his book and maybe learn something to avoid issues going forward.

    B&c computer visions and video 61 I feel should get a home in the homebrew reproduction area. I feel that's fair assessment to me but I'm always up for hearing from the community on their take.

     

    I did reach out to a few people but people like nir I still need to.

     

    I think this will be a living book cause the estimate online for a full us set of carts vary from 333 to over 500 depending who you ask and what list they provide.

     

    I think also the label and cart variant section will be a nice touch since I collect those as well as different game cart programs. But I hope this will give everyone something. Beginners causal collectors and hard core collectors .

    I'd be interested in how you handle gamegavel. The issue I see with mercari is they give you coupons for use in their site as discounts which is awesome but the out of control seller prices really kills my plans of ever using the app. Other apps doesn't seem to have this issue.

     

    So I guess combating over charging if possible would be something I would be interested in hearing or seeing how it is done. People won't go to a site if they know the prices aren't of the planet earth before they go to the site or app

    I've started to do a guise book for the atari 8 bit computer series . Mostly a cart guide book. No price guide or set rarity guide. But it should be a nice break down on the carts systems and 1st party accessories . Including cart and label variants, demo and prototype carts to the best of my ability.

     

    I've broken ground on this project but was just wondering how much interest there is for a book like this. Would it be worth it for the community. Please let me know what you all think since this is probably one of the biggest groups of a8 fans I can think of.

    I have a spare pronto cart for the atari 8 bit computer. This one doesn't have a metal pronto back but is a generic black cart with the pronto label on it. Tested and boots up to the dial screen ( I have no number to connect to) but it tries to connect to phone when the return button is pressed.

     

    Looking for $50 since the last pronto cart I bought on here ran that price.

    Everything with shipping ran 125.

     

    He listed it as a boxed jaguar with a cd player for it. With 3 cds. And when I asked what cds and player he had I saw the 3 jag cds and he said the cd player plug into the jaguar at the top. So I assume he thinks it's a regular cd player .

    Came with a boxed jaguar and 3 jag cd games . Cheap price so I'm expecting issues with the cd player as the guy called it. I know if there's an issue it'll redscreen but what are common problems and solutions to fixing this unit. I might get lucky and it'll be fin but I'm expecting the worse. So what should I expect in the way of possible repairs .. thanks all
