    @DrVenkman yup Missile Command locks up too! time to borrow the multimeter I guess.
  2. Zeptari1
    Ram and rom tests are fine. A few of the keys on my keyboard are not responding on the keyboard test. Control, both Shift and the Break key do nothing. They don’t bleep and they don’t let up on the screen.

    Holding the select button is correct to access missile command. I played a few games , it ran fine except for during one level. See picture attached. When the next level stated it was fine. Basic still locks up. It seems to happen the most when I hit return to type in a second line. I have a European 7800 game pad plugged in. Would that cause any issues? Doesn’t seem like it would. i’ll mess around with it some more tonight and report back tomorrow after work. thanks again. IMG_1808.MOV

    @DrVenkman and @Paul Westphal https://thebrewingacademy.com/collections/atari-800-xl-xe-xel-xld/products/atari-xl-xe-replacement-power-supply Is this a safer option?

    Unfortunately I don’t have a multimeter on hand right now. I might be able to borrow one from someone at work this week. In the session I just had it only locked up during basic not while playing games. Is there a way to access missile command without unplugging the keyboard? thanks for the speedy reply! i’d like to have this fixed or at least the problem identified before my ultimate cartridge arrives!

    So I just set up my XEGS for the first time in a few years. Messed around with basic for about 10 minutes and then played two games for around 20 to 30 minutes. I went back to basic and every minute of two it would lock up on me. Resets didn’t do a thing I had to shut it off and turn it back on. Is this a power supply issue or something worse? See attached picture for power supply I’m currently using. And if it’s the power supply, well the funny thing is I almost ordered a new one from the Brewing Academy when placing my order for the ultimate cartridge. Thanks for any advice. I’ve been out of the 8-bit world for a long time.

    bump Has anyone 3D printed new buttons for the XEGS? Having different color options would be nice.

    Just ordered TBA's Ultimate SD Cartridge for my XEGS! I hope it gets here in time for my staycation.

    Congratulations! I'd love to see your setup, and hear what games your into... good times I tell ya.

    He looks like a young Keanu Reeves! Cool picture! I'm bummed out I don't have pics of my 800XL set from back in the day. But I'm enjoying the pics in this thread. I picked up a XEGS system a couple years ago and I'm on the verge of setting it up again. Maybe even ordering an Ultimate Cartridge from the Brewing Academy.

    Looking for a local free lcd tv for my XEGS system.

      It's actually a picture of a t-shirt I bought in a comic-store in Berlin .
      It was the only one they had ,luckily the size fitted me.

      Have been looking for a second one but no luck so far.

      Being a StarWars fan from childhood it was the perfect combo :)

  13. Zeptari1
    Great Price! totally worth it. I paid under $10 for mine at Gamestop last year.

    Just taken on Xbox One.

    Did he say "Why, It's f*cking mega legs all over again?" OMG!! I nearly pissed myself laughing! I think I'll take 24 hours and check out my games for my favorite cover art. Without getting up and looking I'd say off the top of my head: Atari 2600 Bezerk, Colecovision Gateway to Apshai and Atari ST Dungeon Master. I remember Genesis games having great box art. Crüe Ball, The Immortal, Kid Chameleon. Oh, and Gran Torino is a masterpiece Eastwood film.

      Merry Christmas, Happy New Year Zep.  If you got your Atari VCS it should be arriving soon.. though like me you were not getting it.. still looks s*** but at least it came out.

      Same to you and yours! No Atari VCS or Amico in my near future. I'm on the hunt for a Series X. That'll be fun.

      I just finished installing Cyberpunk to an external SSD on my One X. Playing it first thing in the morning. Maybe 

      even more as I have the full week off for vacation.. nite

    Love your work @CurlyQ !!! I love that you have Tron and Super Pac-Man in it! And oh man, Zaxxon! I played that to death on my way to high school in a local convenient store. Funny thing is, whenever someone asks me what the first 3D game I ever played was. I almost always answer Zaxxon, That isometric view left a lasting impression on me back then. I'd like to thank you and Tommy for inspiring me to get back into Paint Shop Pro. My stuff is nowhere near your artistic level. But that doesn't matter, I'm having so much fun lately.

    What about the very early preliminary box art for Amico? Or maybe very late, look 9 games included! 😜
  19. Zeptari1
    This looks great! I remember getting the 32X just for Virtua Racing Deluxe. This looks like a Dreamcast version if SEGA made one for it. Thanks for sharing.
  20. Zeptari1
    I did! On the backside of my bedroom door! Mom hated it! Dad gave it the thumbs up! LOL
  21. Zeptari1
    I love this scene! Damnit! I want my Tron 3! 😥 Imagine If they took that scene and used it for an Amico commercial? That would be epic!
  22. Zeptari1
    Wow! I had no idea it was that bad! We have mandatory face covering here in Massachusetts. But I hear some restaurants will be able to open and hold up to 50% of its seating capacity. As of right now one of New England largest state fairs( https://www.thebige.com/ ) is still green for its September run. Which is weird, everything else outside is closed,cancelled or postponed till next year. Actually not so odd considering it brings in close to ($750 million says the local news) to the area in its 17 day run. Man I feel for ya Tommy.. We all know how much that date means to you. Hopefully it all works out.. would the absolute worst case scenario be it launching it early next year? Say, on your birthday?
  23. Zeptari1
    Funny you posted that. I just saw a video on Animal Crossings Animalese and beep speech over the years. It's an interesting watch. I like the Q-bert tidbit.
  24. Zeptari1
    Tron 3 got the green light plus an exclusive Amico game! https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Tron:_Ascension 😥 I really need to read to visit this thread more then once a week! LOL
  25. Zeptari1
    This makes me and my recent Amico converts Evan and Jered very happy! 😀
