good. Maybe I can do my own games' date=' and ask somebody to put it on a cart. I intend to start my Colecovision programming as soon as possible, and after try programming to other consoles. If I get there, it will be amazing, have a game written by me [/quote]

 

Cool, could you program a Resident Evil game for the Atari? I'd pay $25 for that one.

 

 

maybe adding some RAM on the cart should be sufficient.

If you have some ideas, please write them, I would like to know!

Before you try to put everything together at once, IMO first you should contentrate on one aspect (e.g. programming or production).

 

If you can offer cart, box, manual etc. productions at reasonable prices you will find lots of people who will use your service. And then you get in contact with programmers, designers etc. automatically.

 

But before you start, have a look around what is currently existing. There are lots of homebrew programmers (e.g. click on my sig ), and various people offering cart production service (incl. AA).

thank you all for the answers!

 

I talked with some people here, and they loved the idea. But the main problem in Brazil is find programmmers to these consoles. I know there are people here with talent and very imaginative, but the problem is put them together to open a company.

 

If you have some ideas, please write them, I would like to know!

You should contact 'Opcode'!

 

who is he?

[Release new games to old consoles]

It's already done. Check out the Atari Age store with the homebrews.

oh, good! Maybe I can do something like this, here in Brazil!

[Release new games to old consoles]

Hi everyone!

 

What if somebody open a company that produces new games to old consoles like 2600, NES, Colecovision, etc.? Would it work out fine or not? Would it be easy to find programmers? Would people buy these games? What do you think about this "crazy" idea?

[Check out Yahoo! right now.]

hmmm... I think I will open a company to produce some games to vintage consoles.

["atari flashback" plug and play game console]

what if we send these questions to Atari? Maybe they can consider them and add a slot cart and change some aspects.

[Atari Flashback Unit]

For me it's a great news. Yes, tha major problem is the cartdrige slot, I think they should put it on the console, since lots of people already have carts.

 

The other problem is: I don't know if it will be released in Brazil.

 

Why don't Atari produce more games to vintage system, even in limited number? I know few people enjoy them today, but it's a potential market, isn't it?

[Colecovision Programming]

Thanks pal. It'll be useful!    

 

for sure, my manauense friend!

[Colecovision Programming]

I'm interested in colecovision programming too. But being a newbie I'll hope that some nice tutorials like the ones at 2600 programming forum will surface.

 

I've found a CV programming group. Check it out! http://br.groups.yahoo.com/group/colecoprogramming

[Colecovision Programming]

Today I've found a fantastic site, maybe you already know it.

 

http://www.gooddealgames.com/articles/Cole...rogramming.html

 

there are fantastic tools there, like a C compiler, Sprite editor, etc. But I really don't think that the documentation helps new developers, it teaches you how to use some functions, draw some characters, and I thinks that's the autor's purpose.

 

So, does somebody know where I can find some help to newbies like me? Something like tutorials or foruns. I think programming in C to Colecovision is easy, but I need a initial help on it.

 

Thanks a lot!

que massa, cara. Eu até tenho um grupo de programação pro Atari, mas anda meio parado. Vou dar uma olhada no seu site, e indicar pro pessoal do meu grupo. Traduzi algumas partes do tutorial do Andrew, se quiseres dar uma olhada vai em http://br.groups.yahoo.com/group/programacao2600/

[Programming the 5200]

Is there some kind of tutorial about 5200BAS for begginers? I couldn't find one.

 

Thanks

[How to make an Atari 2600 emulator?]

Thank you everyone! Your advice was really great!

 

A asked about 2600 emulation because it has some good documentation and I love Atari systems. But as a novice I think it's better to code an easier system, like NES (that I love too).

 

Thanks a lot, folks!

[How to make an Atari 2600 emulator?]

No, I have never coded a emulator before.

 

So, what system should be easier to emulate? NES?

[How to make an Atari 2600 emulator?]

Hi people!

 

I would to know how to program myself an Atari 2600 emulator. What kind of material should I read?

 

Sorry if it was discussed before, but I couldn't find nothing.

[Andrew's tutorial in Portuguese]

If you don't speak English so much, but want to learn more and help us about 2600's programming maybe you would like to join us! We are a brazilian group, and at principle, we are translating the Andrew's tutorial (with his permission) and the Stella's manual to Portuguese. The URL is br.groups.yahoo.com/group/programacao2600

 

Afterwards we will start to develop some demos to learn more about the development process, and maybe make some good games.

 

Thanks a lot!
