Hi,
while hacking the skull sprite in LadyBug I encountered a funny easter egg in jzintv.
On my mac I kept resetting with cmd-R, holding it longer, I got to a screen with static noise, on CH03, MUTE :)
Maybe this is old news?
Cheers,
bataais
Pink Panther seems not that difficult to convert, mostly load immediate and store in the color regs, but very time comsuming..
In the meantime here are Tutankham (PAL50 colors and my "artistic licence" version) and Riddle of the Sphinx.

I upgraded my slotless 128-in-1 Atari Darth-Vader clone with an EEPROM and put some 2k/4k PAL60 games on it. Haunted House wouldn't work correctly, so I found a fixed version, and converted it, together with some others. Here they are. Caverns (homebrew) is an amazing game in only 2k! Have fun.

I'm sorry but there's no white on the PAL console, only the same 0E, which is more of a grey. look here: http://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-tia-color-charts.html#ntsc_pal_color_conversion
In Space Invaders Deluxe I changed the alien-ship and the shields to a somewhat more red color (64, although it goes into purple).
I'll try to send you my paypal-adress later.

Here are Space Invaders Arcade and Vector SI. Rob Kudla didn't change colors, but memory locations Had to revert them back, colors are located at D07-D0E. White doesn't shine on PAL machines as on NTSC..
Maybe Nukey Shay can do a PAL60 of his Deluxe Invaders? Maybe I will if I find the time. Happy New Year!

I think I now got all the colors, some very hidden values.. There's a problem with this game, sometimes it's flickering, the green sea turns red. I tried to adjust the timer, but without luck.

Without the great Stella Emulator and Debugger and the Knowledge in this Forum it would have been impossible for me to do so many PAL60 conversions, I want to thank you all guys! It's amazing to have the possibility to play the legendary Atari 2600 games in original speed and color over here in PAL territory. Finally, after more than 30 years..
