There's plans to use the Yamaha chip for the 7800 version Xevious with sounds ported from the MSX version of the game. That will have to wait until the guy finishes adding the Yamaha sounds for Dig Dug. I'm no expert on hardware but I do think it's possible to use a TIA and Pokey at the same time.

From what I get from the recent updates is that opcode is still working on this but he just doesn't post here as of late.

I got another question. Can this also apply to the 2600 driving controllers? I think games like Spy Hunter or Tempest would benefit from the extra buttons. Although where to put those buttons on the controllers is another question.

Since TIA does other stuff besides sound. I don't think so.

I do have a question, can this apply to a 7800 game? I know you still have to mod a pad to get that 2nd fire button on the 7800 to be usable.

I was talking about the programmers around here. I use xcode too but it's just to roll my own MacMAME.

Wow, I don't see too many programmers that use a Mac often.

I suppose you could just try using Misfit MAME. I should note for some games you have find hacked ROMs to allow for high score saves. I believe Frogger has a high score hack to save high scores . Check it out.

Oh, so that's why the tanks in Combat move in turbo speed when you hit left and right buttons. I've always wondered about that.

Does that mean you can make a character with two overlapping sprites look like it has more colors than it was just a single sprite?

I remember somebody doing that with 7800 Centipede in co-op mode. He said it lets him double the firepower when the two shooters are merged together.

Which version of Popcorn? That's the most covered instrumental song ever.

So these are pirated versions? Now I'm curious to see how different the pirated joysticks are from the real thing.

Which Ralph's? Seconded. I would like a few for myself and one to mod.

This thread might be of some interest. I do recall, vdub_bobby I think, talking about 7800 games could use the C button, if programed or hacked to use it. I also remember GroovyBee saying it's possible to program a game to use the six buttons on that particular Genesis controller.

I think the only button that works is the B button. A and C buttons don't work. If you want to have a 2nd button that works, you have to mod the Genesis controller. I know games can be hacked or programmed to use the C button.

I think Dig Dug should get a sound upgrade. I like the game and all but it sounds too much like the 2600 version.

If you got so-so paint program you could just the canvas size to make the width equal the height. Then all you have to do is move the pic left or right until you feel it's just right and crop it.

I think that black label version needs the artwork to more "square".

It might help to say if you use a PC or Mac.

If you're looking for pics I found some. These could work for you. http://www.inetres.com/gp/anime/lotr/lotrk.jpg http://img-fan.theonering.net/rolozo/images/jung/sgandalf.jpg The first one is from the 1981 Lord of the Rings calender. This one is "enchanced" pic from the movie. The second is poster art for the movie without the title.

You seem to want that box. It's going to be bit difficult without a better pic or the original artwork. The logo and the red circle can be duplicated but not so much the hobbits cowering in fear. I suppose you could different artwork like other art from the Bakshi movie.

The Ringwraiths, the Nazgul and I think they were also known as the Black Riders and the Nine. I never did understand why they had grey cloaks instead of black.

Somebody else did make another The Lord of the Rings homebrew game. I haven't heard of the Tolkien estate beating down Atariage's door to take down that homebrew.

Yeah, it's being worked on. This has all you need to know about it.
