Good luck in the competition Thomas! That sucks about the audio sync. 😞 - James

No problem, thanks for letting me know, I've updated the listings. I agree, the TIA sounds are incredible! - James

No problem! I tried toggling all the TIA revisions but none of them had any effect on the graphics. - James

Wow this is incredible!! Looking at the videos of it playing on a PAL system I almost couldn't believe my eyes! Multiple levels of parallax, transparent shading, the design of the mothership, everything is top notch! I popped it in my NTSC system and it... kind of plays... it's very slowed down, stretched out vertically but the voice is very clear and I can move the ship around and play in slow motion! I can't wait for you to post an NTSC version it! - James

You're welcome! The game is amazing and I definitely want to play it to completion on the show. Hopefully this crash will help you narrow down the issue! Here's the gameplay slowed down to 5% of the original speed during the time of the crash and also a screenshot of the frame before it crashed. - James

Nice! I hope they look as good in person as it does as a graphic! You'll probably get it before I do with how slow shipping is to Canada. Let me know how it turned out, hahah! - James

You're very welcome, it was a lot of fun playing it on the show and a nice challenge playing it on advanced mode! Thanks for looking into adding the fire-button reset and it's a excellent idea to put in a delay so you don't accidentally restart right after a game over. 🙂 - James

NEW Atari 7800 shirt IN ZPH Store! ZPH Store: https://www.teepublic.com/user/zeropage-homebrew I originally made this for myself because I couldn't find a decent Atari 7800 shirt to buy online. I don't know if you've ever gone looking for one and come up pretty much empty handed. Well, no more! I've just put in an order for one for myself and I've also made them available for everyone else if they're interested! - James

It was an amazingly fun time and an honour to debut your technology on ZPH last night @rbairos! It's an absolute unbelievable achievement to achieve full motion video with sound on a console that's over 4 decades old originally designed to only display two player characters, two missiles, a ball, a background and a playfield on the screen. - James

If missed us watching STAR WARS with MovieCart on a STOCK ATARI 2600 on ZeroPage Homebrew tonight, check it out on Twitch tonight or YouTube tomorrow!!! THE TECH WAS INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much to lodefmode for letting us do the WORLD DEBUT of this! Check out more information about his project here: https://github.com/lodefmode/moviecart - James
