  1. When I bought my 7800 a few months back I picked up Crossbow at the same time, remembering how much I liked the 2600 version so many years before. On booting it seemed to work, sort of, but the graphics were all garbled. I took it back and got a replacement (the guy seems to be breeding them under the counter) only to find it had exactly the same problem. Has anyone else had a problem with 7800 Crossbow along these lines? The console and cartridge connectors are shiny clean and no amount of adjustment or positioning seems to have helped. I haven't had a problem with one single other of the stack of 7800 games. Is this a common problem or have I just been massively unlucky?

     

    Cheers all.

    I recently got a pal version of Crossbow and have exactly the same problem on my PAL Atari 7800. As soon as you switch the console on it shows a broken screen, then pressing the button it shows the initial screen that seems ok, and when the first stage starts the graphics are all messed up. Despite the messed up graphics the game can proceed but it's unplayable. I have also a NTSC cart and it doesnt have this problem but it looks very bad on a PAL console due to the different image frequence.

     

    Does anyone know if that is a common problem of the PAL version of Crossbow?


  2. I recently got an Atari 5200 multicart and would like to use it on a console.

    I read that only NTSC Atari 5200 consoles were made. What should I do to play it on any old or modern LCD pal tv? Get a modded version of an Atari 5200 and connect it with AV cables?

    If I get a modded version of an NTSC Atari 7800, will it play on an older tv as well? I still need an AV cable though, as with the RF connection an NTSC console would not work even on a modern multiformat PAL/NTSC tv?

     

    Thanks for any help.
