    If you have hand entered new menu items into your cc2 menu, then I would like your help.

     

    Can you please run this program that check if they are in the CC2ROMDB.TXT.

    It puts all the entries that are not in the DB into an output file. You can then post the resulting entries here.

     

    You can get the program here:

    Thank you very much.

     

    I will be updating the one I keep on my site:

    One thing I forgot is that I have to hook up the old hard drive, soo it will be a while.

     

    What about the "good roms" utility, that util seems to have all the signatures, that and Stella has one also, is there anyway to get one of these databases?

    Someone here (sorry I don't remember who) gave me his menu with ROMs and I updated the rom db with that. It mostly added Hacks.

     

    So if you want the new db I can put it up somewhere.

     

    I wrote some code in Java to update the data base for me, when given a menu and roms and I can put this up too.

     

    I also wrote a new menu generator with a new cc rom db that included company and so it would output the menu in company ordered sections and or the standard title sorted. I should put that up on my Java stuff.

     

    So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

    Selling these at my local mall as well.  Would've gotten one but they're asking a rediculously high $60 for it.  And if I did get one it would be to finally have a working NES.

     

    Of course, you can pick up a working NES and roughly 10 games for $20 at yard sales here, so why bother?   :?

    I didn't even think of asking how much, but my wife (this is the wife that thinks all my VG stuff is crap), talked them down to $35 for it.

     

    And being from China, should be able to get it at a swap meet for less.

     

    But because this is supposta be about the 7800,

    I want a portable 7800, please,

    so I can slap the CC2 in it and go!

    Maybe they will come out with a latter version with a port because of customer demand. (a-la, we want the old Coke back.)

     

    Or someone here will find a way to hack in a cart slot. If this is truly the old system and can work with carts.

     

    Do you think they put any expansion capabilities?

     

    It would be dumb not to, as they can get another $10-$20 for 20 more in a expansion cart thing.

     

    Because:

    filled with 20 classic Atari games

    I know 20, is not my idea of filled!

    Q: what is this white cable for?

    A: The 7800 had a special connector that the power supply uses to connect to the 7800. The seller is only giving you the cord (I think).

    So you will have to get DC 9V 1A and use the wire he gave you to connect to the 7800 unit.

    Q:does it have the same connections as 2600?

    A: The 7800 has connections for TV and joysticks.

    TV connection: an RCA type connecter that you will need to connect to your TV Cable some how. See: How do I hook up my Atari to a TV? and

    you could buy Coaxial (F-Type) to Female RCA Adapter

    Joystick connections

    You can use regular 2600 joysticks to play all 2600 games and a some of 7800 games (mostly the arcade ports). Most of the 7800 games needed 2 botton 7800 joysticks to play.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Bruce Tomlin has got the same thing going on a CC2 without the joystick working.

    I never said anything about the joystick. On power-up you have to hit reset, then it works fine. It's the display that's screwed up.

     

    Sorry, I was interpreting:

     

    In every case, when you first move the joystick after power-up, it goes to a blue screen with an underline cursor on it.  You can also get there by pressing select.    Reset does the warp thingy and it goes back to the cockpit.

     

    this to mean that it stopped working when you move the joystick. As in you move the joystick and get a blue screen of death :)

     

    I sure wish I had a 6502 ICE so I could go digging around in RAM to see what the display list looks like to find out why the viewscreen is screwed up.

     

    It would be nice to have a debugger in one of these emulaters. Bruce Tomlin do think that would be as good as a 6502 ICE?

     

    As far as being able to land, has anyone tried a touch pad for the right controller or 2nd joystick?

    Here is what I think we got so far:

    kenfused has got the middle blank part to be every other line in MESS (with rescue2.zip)

    Bruce Tomlin has got the same thing going on a CC2 without the joystick working.

    The question here is why can MESS work with the joystick and the CC2 not?

     

    I cannot seem to land in MESS or know what buttons to make stuff happen other than just flying around, has anyone got it to do more than that?

     

    Bruce Tomlin are you still using the .bin file appended to itself (to make it 64K) and 78SC_R16 bankswitch setting?

    has anyone tried on the CC2?

     

    and what setting?

    or will it work?

    Firstly, the .a78 format won't work with the CC2. I tried simply renaming it to a .bin and tried a few different settings with no luck.

     

    You'd need to strip off the first 128 bytes to return the a78 to .bin format.

     

    So is this the same as 7800 Crossbow and Alien Brigade as the menu generate can fix them by moving the first 128 * 1024 extra bank from the start to the end of the ROM file?

    Sounds like a loose connection to the 7800.

     

    I have that problem with one of my joys and if I move the connector/ wiggle it to the left, it will work for awhile but then stop working. Repeat...

     

    And this joystick does work fine in my 4 switch 2600.

     

    I gave up and now use the pain line controller.
