Like what? I use a Gemini as my main system and haven't had a problem yet.

Ah! Got it. Sorry Nukey Shay, no offense, but I needed someone to dumb it down for me. Looking forward to trying out your hacks though. Yeah, I have a separate posting about the utilities to use with the Cuttle Cart, as Google wasn't helpful. Makewav isn't compatible with my computer, but Playbin works fine. Really looking forward to trying out all the hacks and super rare games I wouldn't get to play otherwise.

See, I was confused, I thought it was a new online type console.

...duh, what? Did I mention I am not a programmer? All I know is that none of the games marked as over 4K on the manual work on the Cuttle Cart, and I don't know why.

...you win.

That might actually be from the box. I have one in box and it's label is stained reddish.

...I protest, I never said anyone here said any such a thing. If you feel it was implied I apologize, as it was not my intention. I am sure we all have stories of pushy salespeople or articles that push some random service for "collectors". That is what I was referring to. What did you think I meant?

You make it sound plausible to me anyway. I mean, I only got an Xbox One for Halo.

I got mine from a friend. We were talking about the creepiest/scariest game we've ever played, and he said his was AVP for the Jaguar. I, of course, freaked out and asked if he still had it and bought the console off him for $200 cash, though the AVP cartridge never did turn up.

I have both the 93 version, and the 94 version.

Ooh, bubble go pop!? Sweet, maybe after it does I can get a boxed copy of Wolfenstein 3D for a good price. Oh wait, this the 2600 channel. Sweet, maybe I can get a boxed copy of Secret Quest for a reasonable price after it pops.

My only question is as follows: If the Ataribox is released, will it get it's own tab on Atari Age next to the Jaguar?

Hello and welcome. First off, I would like to start off with advice if I may. Ignore whatever people tell you when they say you need something. This is peer pressure. I have been playing and collecting for years and I own neither the Harmony Cart or a CRT TV. I have also not used emulator software in years, and have never used Best Electronics. Just focus on your own wants and needs. You don't NEED anything you don't already own in all likelihood. But if you want it, go for it. Nothing wrong with being individual. Further, don't be afraid of non-Atari stuff. I prefer the feel of Gemini Gemstick joysticks to genuine Atari ones, and I also like the Slik Stick, but the tiny button is a bit annoying. Don't let anyone make you think that no Atari fan would use these things. Some like the Genesis controller over the joystick, and there's nothing wrong with that. Look for local stores that sell Atari games. They're usually cheaper than online sources, and often make great hangout locations to socialize in person too. Finally, have fun. No one is going to have it for you! Side note. Rare games are nice to show off, but they're usually rare for a reason.

Well, I was born in Atlantis, but the Gorgons came with deathrays. They attacked pretty hard, and we fought back to defend ourselves, but alas, it was a forlorn hope, and ultimately the city fell, but we planned for that, and I left with many others in a big craft of our own design, the Cosmic Ark. Eventually we ended up in the Alpha Rho Solar System, and realizing its Sun was about to go Super Nova, we decided we had to act, and went to as many planets as we could, gathering as many of the skittish beasties as we could with our shuttle, avoiding meteors and the planet's own defense systems. Eventually our good deed got the better of us though, and we ended up losing the Ark, but the shuttle escaped. We crash landed in a garbage dump on Earth, and have been here ever since. Oh, not what you meant?

Tried Command Prompt too, and it still didn't work, just told me it was incompatible again. However, Playbin worked flawlessly! Well...had to play around with the sound settings and volume for a bit, but other than that flawlessly. Thank you both so much! I really appreciate it.

Looks great! That didn't come up in a Google search, now if only it worked. It says its not compatible, it just won't run at all. I don't know what to do to fix that.

I own the Cuttle Cart, let's start with that. I'd like to know if there is a way to get normal ROMs like what you can download from this very site converted to the audio files that the Cuttle Cart and Super Charger use(I believe they're called binary files, but I'm not 100% on that). Supposedly there is a program that can do that on Stella Gets A New Brain, but surely that would be super outdated now, over 20 years after its initial release, and at the very least require several special plugins to get it to work on a newer computer like mine. I'm also not going to sugar coat it, I last used an emulator over 10 years ago in high school, and have never really programmed anything, so I probably face an uphill battle with this anyway. I'm hoping there is someone out there who can help me if it is possible, I would really appreciate it.

I just did something like that. I took it apart after seeing yours, and pushed on the cartridge receiver. It moved some, and after putting it back together, all the Imagic cartridges now fit. Some are a little tight, but they fully seat now, which they didn't do before. I think you're right, something in my console wasn't quite right, maybe damaged somehow, by someone being too rough on a cartridge that in the slot or something. Thanks for the help. Picture to see what mine looks like after repairs.

Certainly doesn't look like anything was done to it. Comparing it to mine it looks the same. How odd.

While we're on the topic, anyone have any other cartridges that don't fit in various systems? I know there is talk of Tigervision carts not fitting in various systems, but those are kind of rare. Imagic is common enough that if it doesn't fit in a particular system, its kind of important.

I was afraid of that. Seems I'd have to clip quite a bit off mine to make it fit. Guess I will just hold onto the other Atari.

I only own 1 TV, a 32" Magnavox LCD, so that's what I use.

So, I got a Sears Video Arcade II a while ago, but recently I noticed something. The cartridge slot is not the right shape somehow. My Imagic games don't fit, at all. NONE. Does anyone else out there have this problem, or is there a way to make them fit?

Yeah, that's very true. I always try to keep it to a minimum because it sticks to you and can make you tear the label.
