Atari 7800: Best WIP - 3rd Annual Atari Homebrew Awards
EmuDan replied to ZeroPage Homebrew's topic in Atari Homebrew Awards!
I agree! I'm usually partial to arcade ports, but Knight Guy on Board is loads of fun. -
CoolCV emulator for Mac OS X, Linux, Windows and Raspberry
EmuDan replied to nanochess's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
Oscar, I love your work and CoolCV is an absolutely brilliant emulator. It works like a charm with retropie on my Raspberry Pi 2. However... I also recently upgraded to a Pi 4, and the lr-bluemsx emulator is a disappointment. It won't open zipped files, or sgm games. I managed to get CoolCV running outside of Retropie with TwisterOS and its awesome BoxX86 wrapper program, but it runs slowly. I also managed to compile ColEm and get it running outside of RetroPie, but it also won't open zipped files or use gamepads. If you have the time in the near future, can you please try to re-compile CoolCV for the Pi 4, and get it included in an upcoming version of Retropie? -
Pac-man collection is also gone from the store in the 7800 section. Is Namco upset or something?

What 7800 games do you want to see on Atari Flashback Portable?
EmuDan replied to Defender_2600's topic in Atari 7800
All of them! Plus the homebrews! That would make a great portable system. -
James, someone on Facebook just reminded me of what a great game Activision's Spider Fighter is. Another good idea for your patch challenge!

Another easy (and cheap) way to improve the video quality is to hook the console up to a VCR, using that little RF adapter plug. Use the video-in on the VCR, then run composite cables for the video out from the VCR to the TV. And, in theory, I suppose if you are lucky to have an S-VHS VCR you could do S-video out to the TV bumping up the quality even more.

Label variant fight: Which one is your preferred label variant and why?
EmuDan replied to redsteakraw's topic in Atari 2600
Is there any way to tell with the older Atari games, whether the cartridge in the box will have a text label or a picture label from looking at the outside of an unopened box? Dan -

I wish I still had those. It was a great controller! -
Best Music & Sound: 2018 Atari Awards
EmuDan replied to ZeroPage Homebrew's topic in Atari Homebrew Awards!
My vote goes to Mappy for music and sound, because it's spot-on, despite the slow-down I'm getting with the emulator. On a faster machine or real 2600, it would be awesome. I also really liked the music in Stripes of Terror, and I found Beeware to be a fun little game that should've been nominated in a few more categories. -
Best Graphics: 2018 Atari Awards
EmuDan replied to ZeroPage Homebrew's topic in Atari Homebrew Awards!
Tyre Trax has some really nice backgrounds and sprites, so it gets my vote in this category. -

David Weavil fit all of Dungeon 2:Solstice in only 4k {drops the mic}. -
Best Homebrew: 2018 Atari Awards
EmuDan replied to ZeroPage Homebrew's topic in Atari Homebrew Awards!
Mappy is the first Atari 2600 game that I actually had trouble emulating. Using retropie on a raspberry pi 2, and I found that it won't work with the lr-stella. You have to switch to the standalone Stella emulator. There is some music slow-down, but the game is still playable! -
Best batari Basic (bB) Homebrew: 2018 Atari Awards
EmuDan replied to ZeroPage Homebrew's topic in Atari Homebrew Awards!
Horizon flip was definitely a challenge! Did you know it's based on "Horizon Switch '81" for the Nintendo Switch? I want to play that one! -
M by Flush is pretty amazing, so it got my vote but it was close with Alpha Cucks by Dentifrice (that scaling and rotation!!!). I still can't believe the 2600 is capable of demos like this!

Best Game Hack: 2018 Atari Awards
EmuDan replied to ZeroPage Homebrew's topic in Atari Homebrew Awards!
Scott Dayton has a lot of great hacks nominated here. I chose Alf because it has some nice looking sprites and it's a lot of fun to play. I also liked the Moon Patrol hack and the Stargate (River Raid) hack. -
Best batari Basic (bB) Homebrew: 2018 Atari Awards
EmuDan replied to ZeroPage Homebrew's topic in Atari Homebrew Awards!
Tough call between Sword of Surtr and Space Game. Two completely different genres. I have to go with Surtr though, because it looks like a cross between Adventure, Zelda, and a touch of FF1 (the boat that takes you to other lands). Tyre Trax is also a fun one with nice graphics. -

Looks like 2019 is going to be a banner year for homebrews! A lot of these look amazing. -

Best Packaging: 2018 Atari Awards
EmuDan replied to ZeroPage Homebrew's topic in Atari Homebrew Awards!
I love the old school Atari-styled packaging, so for me it was a tough choice between Astronomer and Space Game, but I have to go with Space Game. -
Best Homebrew: 2018 Atari Awards
EmuDan replied to ZeroPage Homebrew's topic in Atari Homebrew Awards!
My vote for best homebrew has to go to Mappy. It's a fun, spot-on arcade port. The graphics, sounds, and music are all outstanding.
