[READY! MODEL 100 Portable Computer Kit - Kickstarter]

The keyboard doesn't look like it is going to be comfortable to type on for long periods, given lack of wrist rest and that the switches are above the case.

There wil be a box and manual for PitKat, the game won't be directly sold but will be available by other means (email us for more information).

Here is what the box looks like

I use an atari 7800 pal with harmony cartridge or harmony encore.

The game does not work or has a bug during a game.

The problem must be that it doesn't work well on atari 7800 pal

 

yes with an atari vcs console the ntsc game works well

How does it not work? Does it work and then crash? Have you tried both the PAL and PAL60 versions?

The game was tested on an Atari 7800 NTSC and did work fine.

whoa!  hey whats incode/outcode mean or do? hey fantastic job looks AMAZING i have it on rt now!!!!

Download the ZIP file that is the first post in the thread and read the PDF manual and the extra README.TXT file as it will explain what everything does.

[3rd Annual Atari Homebrew Awards (2020): Voting Information & Discussion]

It would have been good if the games were in their own folders in the catagory folder as the files are a bit all over the place and it would have been useful to have all the game files for that game together so people would have downloaded all the files needed for the game.

 

For example Pitkat doesn't have the readme.txt file which is mentioned in the manual and is also useful.

The zip file can be found below, the thread also has some replies about some of the issues that people might had running the game.

Minor Update

If you run Pitkat on Stella (on emulation or Retron 77) and for some odd reason you want to run the PAL60 version rather then the NTSC version (or PAL one) then you need to set TV Format to PAL60. You can do this by highlighting the game, selecting options, going to game properties and changing TV Format.

Running the PAL60 version with TV Format set to Auto Detect will make Stella detect the game as NTSC. As the game wants to display the PAL colours, the colours will be off although still playable.

The PAL60 version was made primarially for PAL consoles that would be running Harmony, Pluscart or even a real cartridge.

(It's a tongue in cheek joke about Imagic covers... It won't be a offerered cover... even if the grey is a Panatone Metalic ink...)

I finally got a chance to watch the gameplay on ZPH. Impressive! Everything from the sound, tiles, gameplay, rewind, etc!

 

Feel free to play it, the download is on the 3rd post and works well in Stella.

If you find any bugs then either mention them here or email us at [email protected]

 

Hope everyone read the README.TXT and looked at the manual. Any feedback you have for that would be most appreciated too

[NTSC TIAs]

Apart from Best Electronics is there anywhere to get a NTSC TIA chip?

[Vector / EPS or Font of controller symbols on 2600 boxes]

Is there any freeware vector versions or fonts of the controller symbols that appear on the back of Atari 2600 game boxes (the Joystick, Paddles, etc)?

Making a manual / box for a freeware 2600 game and I want to make it as easy as possible.

[How to make repro manuals?]

Most PDF programs (and printer drivers) will allow you to print the pages as a booklet and if your printer doesn't support dupplex printing then it will tell you to take out and refeed the pages back in to print on both sides of the page.Most PDFs should be in 5x7 inch format so either print to Tabloid / A3 paper without scaling or on letter / A4 with scaled to fit the paper.

If you have the single images then there are several PDF creators, although I am not not sure whats on the iPad or Mac.

[Atari 2600 Game Manual Paper Weight]

As the title says, what is the paper weight of the paper used in the Atari game 2600 manuals?

[atari 7800 RGB/Scart]

If you are getting it for the "better" picture quality then you would be better off saving money and AV modding a 7800 as it is not pure RGB but rather RGB from S-Video. You can find NTSC mod instructions here

or for PAL here

 

http://atariage.com/forums/topic/173828-7800-pal-b-composite-vout-scheme/ it does give a better picture then the Peritel machines too.

Where are you located?

Still after an 8 bit atari.

[WTB: Official Atari 2600 power adapter]

Any regulated PSU that outputs 9V at least 500ma on a 3.5mm Jack positive tip will work. Radio Shack sell compatable ones for $15, you need Adaptaplug™ F

 

Old Atari PSUs do have a smoothing cap and they are likely to be quite dry by now, so may end with hum bars.

The middle east was all PAL (B if you want to use RF).

[WTB - Atari 2600 consoles and some loose games]
