    Hello everyone,

     

    Does anybody know if the RS Basketball proto ROM on this site is NTSC or PAL? I'm trying to get a cart made of it with Randy down at Hozer video, and when he makes a cart from the ROM and trys it on an Atari, the screen rolls!!!

     

    Anybody have any idea why? I *thought* the RS Basketball proto was NTSC, but maybe I'm wrong. Does anybody know if there are any special hardware requirements for the proto(like Klax has with the super chip)?

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    RS Basketball displays about 290 lines, which is to much for NTSC. But a NTSC hack is on it's way already

    That's sad news, perhaps youcan make some profit with auctioning the remaining boxes.

     

    On the positive side, you can now give others some very valuable information. Perhaps you should write down your experiences.

    IMO it would be fair enough, if the buyers would be the first to get a full and unrestricted version and before they buy, they can have a look at the demo first. But I'm speaking from a players point of view, collectors might have a totally different oppinion.

     

    So I'm not the one to decide. Your customers will do that for me.

    You know, there is always a big difference between words and the real experience.

    So even the sales are retro as you haven't been able to play Atari-Games before purchase back then, have you?

    I played them all before and read the reviews in TeleMatch. I'd never buy "die Katze im Sack".

    Otherwise Pac-Man would've become famous for selling so bad instead of selling so very well.      

    I'm sure Pac-Man was also described as a very good game, and it sucked. So you shouldn't relate your game to Pac-Man at all, or I might start thinking, that Mental Kombat follows the same strategie.

    The Dig!

     

    The link can be found on the 2600 Links page.

    Danke schonmal!

     

    Schaut eigentlich ganz gut aus, nur die JPEG-Artefakte im Text stören etwas (aber man kann's trotzdem noch recht gut lesen).

     

    Hast du's schonmal mit verlustloser Komprimierung versucht (z.B. PNG)? Wahrscheinlich wird's viel zu groß, aber einen Versuch wäre es wert.

     

    Ansonsten täte es etwas weniger JPEG-

    Komprimierung vielleicht auch.

     

    Ach ja, bitte mach' auch Scans von den Screenshots, die waren immer so schön gefaket.

    Alle 2600 Tests aus den Ausgaben die ich noch nicht habe, natürlich.

     

    Welche das sind, steht in dem anderen TeleMatch-Thread.

    The short version ROM has only 4K, while the long one uses 8K.

     

    BTW: The ROM that you can download from AtariAge has 8K..

    Hi Albert,

    on this page I can see your answer, but on the normal page I only see parts of the headline graphics, but no text at all.

     

    And that's the same for all other threads iI tested. I can read the first post, the second is corrupted and that's it.

     

    I have cleared my browser cache and restarted the browser, but the problems remain.

     

    Might be the timeout problem.

    Ja, damals wurde Jugendschutz noch so richtig streng gehandhabt.

     

    Battezone und Robot Tank sind damals auch aus denselben Gründen gnadenlos abgwertet worden. Abstrakte Gewalt war dagegen weniger schlimm.

     

    Was TeleMatch wohl zu Glenn Saunders Death Derby gesagt hätte?

     

    Wenigstens haben sie die ganze Pirates ebenso konsequent abgewertet.

    Bei Interesse kann ich ja mal ein paar kürzere Tests hier abtippen und zur Diskussion stellen!    

    Gerne! Ich habe zwar selbst einige Ausgaben, aber vielleicht kenne ich ein paar Tests ja noch nicht.

    Follow the link above (The Dig), there you'll find DASM (an assembler, not a compiler). Then you need a good editor (I recommend Textpad). You don't need graphic or sound editors for the 2600, because the hardware is so limited, that you can do it by hand.

     

    The exists no beginner guide for the 2600, but the very first thing you have to do, is learn 650x assembler. Perhaps you can find books for this outdated CPU.
