If the Australian one came out of Bentleigh East or Oakleigh area, it is fake. This the same person who fakes Commodore stuff regularly, and has tried (poorly) to fake Air Raid before...

Definitely not a starving troll here... Feed away!

I think eBay will get you the highest price and it would be quite a spectacle. You'd have an article on every gaming site and more... But, only if it's a "real" auction. No super-high starting bid and no reserve. That would be a non-story just like the hundreds of other auctions like it where people want $50k for an Apple IIe.

This "make offers until my expectations are met" is bullshit. Name a price... I mean, I am not a buyer anyway, so ignore me, but that just seems like a shitty way to buy or sell something. Is that how high-priced collectibles are commonly sold? Basically a blind auction with a reserve? What's to say someone doesn't just price-drive and say "well, someone else offered me a million dollars, how about $1.1 million?" Or is it just so the seller can shit on people and belittle their offers and make themselves feel superior? Other than that- Nice find!

I find that I can easily get "addicted" to selling off things as much as buying them. Currently I am selling off... It feels great and lets you collect some other things you might not have done before you cleaned out the space and padded your funding.

Send some pictures before you fix it. That sounds like an interesting defect. Does collision detection affect the large versions?

There is one for the C64 that hits the IRQ line at an adjustable rate. What it does to games is very unpredictable. Mostly, they just go crazy instead of slowing down...

That LCD is supported... Download the distribution and copy the HX8347G files over the ones in the main folder and run sdrive.bat.

I was able to use this toolchain... http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/863.16/doc/projects/ftsmin/windows_avr.html I had to change the Makefiles slightly to remove the "date" command since it asks for a date in the Windows command prompt and fouls up the process. Other than that, no changes needed. Just ignore the part about drivers for your programmer. You can drop the hex files into the zip distribution and run sdrive.bat to program it same as the release.

Pictures?

I just did a pull request with support for this display... It was an easy fix.

Done

OK, I got it to work with the ILI9340 screen in case someone else has one of these. It was an easy fix to the source...

I have one of the unsupported screens that was laying around my "box of crap". I can't tell what chipset it is, but it has hard buttons on it. The 9329 flash works, but colors are wrong and display is a mirror image. The 9341 flash is correct orientation, but still wrong colors and touch doesn't work. This screen is in between the two... It should not be hard to fix this. Has anyone compiled this from source on Windows? I tried WinAVR, but it is older and won't compile this...

The reset issue is normal. You'll have to turn off and wait 5-10 seconds before powering back on.

This totally real. Been to Gamestop?

Yep, this is normal behavior. I had one with a bad BASIC chip that did this. Also, using a BASIC cart from an old 800 does not work right- the machine still acts funny trying to run BASIC programs, even though it appears at first to work...

Since you have a parts board I assume you've already tried swapping (or removing) the 64k RAM card also, if you have one? Other than that, if the RAM is good it sounds like a RAM addressing issue. I guess it could be ROM, but that would be odd on a IIe. A II+, I see that all the time, but not on IIe. You are positive it's a 65c02 and not 6502? You could swap that and see for sure... although unlikely, it could be bad. There's not too much more in a IIe...

The top 10 games for a system with 10 games total?

I still use XBOX for the ultimate easy multicart for all 8/16-bit systems. You can find them for about 20 bucks, and a couple hours of labor and you're up and running. Pros: * Everything is very fast, controllable with one XBOX controller, and everything is mapped for that controller. All emulators (XPORT, etc.) use the same controller layout. * I can pull all my ROMs from a network share on my PC, so I don't have to upgrade the hard drive if I don't want. Even SegaCD, TurboCD, etc. pull ISO/MP3 over the network with no lag. * You can reset it from the controller (IGR) if you need to. The SD card doesn't get corrupted after using it 2-3 times like the Pi. * Works in SD or HD with the right cables. You can convert to HDMI with a cheap box. * All the emulators work great in 720p, pixel-perfectly if you want, and if you want filters, they use ~0% CPU. * The emulators are *still* updated occasionally, even after 18 years. Most don't need it, though. * There are tons of themes for all the emulators, but I don't use them at all- NO themes. Just super-quick access to everything like a multi-cart on a real console (but better, no SD cards). * They run about $20, and soft or hard modding them is super easy. If you can't figure it out, find a tech friend to do it for you. * Tons of 2001-2006 games, which are cheap to collect. Cons: * No 240p, if you want that. The Wii has 240p, but RetroArch is a pain in the ass with video settings and pretty much everything. Very poor UI design and it locks up constantly or has to be screwed with whenever switching "cores". When you do get it set up it does look nice on a CRT, though. * You should remove the clock capacitor because it will eat up the board if left too long. I have never used the big Coin-ops distributions, so I can't speak to that. The video in the above auction looks like a customized XBMC theme with all the emulators. You are paying $280 labor for that, which may be worth it to you if you just want plug/play. The RPi is slower and buggy to me in my testing. Some people swear by it- I've never seen it work as well as my XBOX. The controller mapping, slow UI, etc. is a deal-killer.

I was able to get CFMGR to boot from the first disk image on the NanoPEB, and got some things to run successfully using just that and the XB cartridge (original, not 2.7). Thanks everyone- I wish it still were easier. It's still a two-step process to catalog the disk, remember the name, then go back to the menu to run an EA image and type the volume number and the name. Will BOOT let me browse the files and just run them from the menu?

Odd that the new collection has less than the old collection. Were some dumps thought to be bad and removed? First example I noticed... Zorro is not in the new torrent.

Because they are usually a few years older. Don't get me wrong, a lot of Commodore disks are at the end also...

AppleSauce is way too little too late... Most Apple original disks I attempt to image are already dead and falling apart. I do have a good bit of KF images where people have sent me disks for imaging over the years, but a large portion of A2 disks are educational titles anyway, and nobody cares about that. Also, this is not a new idea, and nothing is 100%.

Thanks very much, I will have to seek out and try the BOOT program. I am away for the weekend now, but will try some of this next week.
