has anyone tried on the CC2? and what setting? or will it work?

I was wondering if I built this circuit in my link and tried to hook it up to my PC parallel port, would it work? I got all of the IC’s but still need the capacitors and the Frequency adjusting pot things. http://www.geocities.com/mot505/wow.html Please, please help me! Thank you worlord. A few more dungeons and you'll be a worlord. Kill Worluk for double score.

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.

How about: Shooting Arcade (Proto) LGun from: 2600:XE Light Gun page and: 7800: XE Light Gun page

So just hollow the inside out and put a iPod in it!

My Dad was the manager of Woolco (in Tucson AZ, its now a Target) and so I only saw Atari stuff in the day. And No one had Sear's stuff and I don't real like the look of them and it is hard to tell sometimes what they are "118 TeleGames"? w/ no end label forget it! But everytime I go into a Sears now, I wish they had some TeleGames to buy!

$200 is not too, too bad: if a) no one (even people from GCC) have a copy of it and b) everyone helps out a-little. If 10 people at $20 each… Or 20 people at $10 each… Or buy it and have people buy the dumps from you. If you are still in Las Vegas, you should go for it. Says me. If Curt Vendel thinks it is worth $100 or $200 offer him that. Do people think this is worth $200 and do you think he can get his money back/ would you pay to preserve it? Does he read this board?

If you listen to the mp3 http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=54707 at the 58 minutes in, you will hear: “…had the proper marketing, had the proper commercials, that Warner was famous for, a real good marking blitz vs. the Tramiel’s which if you where lucky, …you got a newspaper ad this big in the back of a magazine in black and white.”

Here are some random thoughts: I wish I could have been there but better yet I wish I was a smart MIT guy in the day. I would like to know what Curt Vendel thinks about the CC2 and maybe if he has one. Also, when did Curt Vendel have his son play the 7800? (Because my son is 4 and he likes playing Adventure, Cookie Monster Munch but right after that he wants to shoot ducks in Duck Hunt on the NES). I was thinking about no new sound chip on the 78 and if anyone in the day though about having a sub cart (like the High Score cart) so you could plug a cart with a Pokey into the 78 and then plug in a cart that used the pokey into that cart. I didn't know the high score cart knew when you had a trackball vs. joystick. I remember back in the day seeing people play Missile Command for as long as they wanted on one quarter. (but I was busy playing Centipede.) And of course there is the whole thing about “I wish you had the ROM’s for Crazy Otto”.

I know you all are tired of this thread by now but I found some links. I guess you can still buy this equipment (just not the Atari Software) from here: http://www.mfjenterprises.com/products.php...prodid=MFJ-1224 and here is a document for it: http://www.hy-gain.com/man/mfjpdf/MFJ-1224.pdf

Thank you Callipygous. I went back to the same store but didn't find anything. Oh-well.

Good point I will look for anything and mostly the SIO type cord hopefully attached to a Ham radio. What did the computer do for you? I have heard of people letting a computer do the Morse code translation for you is this what it did/does? And was it just for sending or both send/receive?

Callipygous, Did you or can you try running with out the ham radio attached to see if you get the same results. I will go back and try to find this equipment (that weird logo on the top looks familiar). I really don’t want this stuff separated if at all possible.

What did the ham radio - Computer Interface look like? I can go back and try to find it! I did look around for the power cord but could not find it. I think I would have saw a SIO type cable if they had one but could have missed it. Does anyone have a web site or picks of this stuff?

How about breaking the game up into sub-games? One for each page swap? Assuming less than 5. Would that work on a multi?

Loaner cart thing has a chip in it with the following writing for the chip: D2732A-3 L2283188S PGM @ 21V © INTEL 79 And a hand written label "AH1.3" As far as d/l the chip image: a) I don't think it is worth the trouble as moving the letters "ABCDEF" back and forth is not that exciting. b) I didn't know someone could get the cartridge image to the SIO slot somehow, I suppose you load up DOS or something first? c) I have a SIO2PC that I built and it was working fine with my wife's company's laptop but then it fried the laptop some how and I never used it again. My wife was pissed. (And I had both Atari 800 XL and the laptop plugged into the same power strip but as the power supply has no ground, maybe I should have grounded the XL chasse? Maybe it was my wiring and so I should just buy one from AtariAge.) I was just reading in games on the Atari and playing them for about a month, very fun.

Logic? The only reason to want a re-production of this cart is because a) it is very rare, b) you can not play it on a multi or USB type cart. Question: Would it be possible to reprogram the software to use a different bank switching scheme so it would be possible to use in a multi or USB cart?

I guess I didn’t describe it all that well. When I said what it did above, that is ALL it does! It does almost nothing and yes it is a loaner, it is just a board with a chip socket with a chip in it. It is not a mass production cart at all. You can see part of it on the picture on the left. I can take more pictures also. I still think someone was writing a word processor application and this was a small part of the application or a test of it. I don't think ham radio software needs margins. Maybe they just had/bought the loaner board from Kantronics. Memory boards in the 800 computers seem to me very valuable. Is this correct and how does one tell what these boards are? Is there a FAQ to read somewhere?

I found an Atari 800 in a thrift for 5 bucks and inside the left cart slot was a loaner cart. I was hoping for some new game or something or core but I fired it up and found that it had a clock ticking away at the top and a partial word processing test. The exact words on the screen are: 00:01:56 USE <- AND -> TO SET LEFT MARGIN ABCDEF And the left and right keys moves the ABCDEF back and forth, while the clock keeps ticking away on the top. This does not sound very hard to do, is it? This loaner has the co. and address: Kantronics 1202 E. 23rd Street (913)842-7745 Lawrence, Kansas 66044 The next question I have is, when I opened the memory expansion slots up there are boards in there with out coverings, is that they way the Atari 800’s came? Or are these something strange?

Ya, I thought it would be too good to be true. I was thinking if it was something simple like looking at a different address/different value for button 2 then it would be very easy to change the program but rewrite to 7800 mode would be harder, and add the signature, and switch to TIA and then change the ports and values of the input.

Can you read both buttons of the 7800 controller in 2600 mode? I was just wandering because then I would like to play Booster Grip games on my CC2 with-out making a special/Colecovision controller and putting in a new controller for those games. This would require code changes I know.

Contrary to myth and fokelore... "Stella" was conceived in Grass Valley by Cyan Engineering: Ron Milner, Joe Decuir, Steve Mayer and Jay Miner conceived the original design. This was not a "hot tub" creation like I'm sure most would like to believe. Curt I always though it was a bicycle.

Better ask Mike Rowe about this first.

I saw Pitfall for Cell Phone, and I was thinking what 2600 game I really want to see on my cell phone. Keep in mind that the little joystick is a 4-way but for Pit Fall they use the number keys so you can go up and right at the same time. I think my vote would be Adventure.
