Hi if you get this diagram,this could work.But i for myself own a Kid Vid and it works great with my 7800. greetings gambler172 Do think there is any special hardware in the Kid Vid tape player?

I saw a wiring diagram for the 2nd joystick port to what looked like audio and pause to a standard tape player (I can’t find it now). Question: Has anyone tried to make his or her own hardware wire and put the audio on a standard tape player, and put the rom on a CC2 (or anything else) and make it work? Does anyone think that this can be done?

Didn't we do this back in Dec?

I would vote Starmaster on 2600, especially sans keypad (you should be able to find one cheep though). But Star Raiders is best on the 8-bit with number keys for speed up/down. I remember: map, hyperspace, forward view, shields, speed 9, speed 2, fire… Don't try to play Starmaster on a 7800 as the black and white lever is used to switch between map and reg display. Unless you use your toe's to hold down the Pause button. See also:Starmaster review and also:Overall, my pick among Star Raiders and its clones still (and probably always will be) Star Raiders on the Atari 8-bit computers. For the VCS, however, Starmaster surpasses Atari's effort with fancier graphics and a few frills not found in VCS Star Raiders. It's not a reflex game in the slightest, but take some time to learn how to play Starmaster, because the beauty of this game is definitely more than skin deep.

Here are my results from looking at each of these games. 2600 Aztec Challenge. I found A-VCS-tec Challenge and the rom there looks (to me) that it is a PAL Demo.

Hi, I was trying to make the very best MenuGenerator with the very best rom data base. It is probably out-of-date but you all can look at this CC2ROMDB file Also I made a MenuGenerator in Java and it is here: Java MenuGenerator Anyone is welcome to take this stuff and change it and claim credit for it. I can try to add these to my DB. In my CC2ROMDB I put in the controller and the company for each rom, but my CC2ROMDB.txt will still work with the exe on Cuttle Cart 2 Site.

Did you see:Ballblazer Color label - Red end label?

The 84 w/expansion port has been said to be more compatable then the 87 ones. The exapansion port was mostly for a LaserDisc thing see: Atari History Museum's Atari 7800 Pro System page. And if you have about an hour, listen to Steve Golson of GCC (the co that made the 7800) tell how the 7800 happened. I loved it. Thanks Curt! They do talk about the keyboard. The first proto was to hook to the cart slot (I think). The final proto hooks up to joystick port #2. Anyway read that page and it will answer all these questions.

Does anyone know if this works for Frogger with sound? 7800: Frogger 10/07/05 (WIP)(uses Pokey) FROGR78 78HSCPOK HSCPOKQU

I think we need a FAQ for the CC2 How do d/l a newly created game and put it on my CC2 and play it? Most people take their MENU.TXT file and add the new game entry to it and then they use the CC2MenuConverter program to take the MENU.TXT file and make a MENU.CC2 file. If someone in the thread posts the CC2 settings ( the bankswitching and the startup) you should use them. Otherwise you will need to ask or try to figure them out on your own. First, get the size of the rom file. ect...... So let’s say you want to play the new Q*Bert, you would take your current MENU.txt file and add the new entry at the bottom (maybe) like this: 7800: Q*Bert WIP QBERT78 HSC_32K HSC 7800: Q*Bert WIP<tab>QBERT78<tab>HSC_32K<tab>HSC<tab> run the CC2MenuConverter program on the MENU.txt file and then take the BIN file (and NOT THE a78 FILE) and rename it QBERT78.bin (to match the name in the entry above) and put it in the GAMES directory on your MMC card. Also put the new MENU.CC2 in the root of the MMC and you are ready to play.

OK I think I got it! Here is what he is asking: I have (or I can get) an old 5 ¼ inch floppy disk drive connecter with the ribbon cable. Can I use this connector instead of ordering a new 2600 cart connector + new ribbon cable, or cannibalizing an old 2600 just for the connector, to hack in a 2600 cartridge connector into my Flashback 2? In other words, will an old 5 ¼ inch floppy disk drive connecter be used to put 2600 cartridges into? It seems that Ben used one for one of his projects, see the picture above.

At first glance, I thought it was a samurai out-fit. (the avatar picture is a bit smaller, so it makes the chance of seeing things greater.)

No Benjamin J. Heckendorn has never used a 5 and 1/4 Floppy diskette to create a Porable Atari 2600. But I think the main question is will Ben make a Portable 2600 out of the Flashback 2 because this would be a lot smaller and a lot less power consuming product. 935549[/snapback] you forgot something there Mot, I said FLOPPY DRIVE NOT FLOPPY DISK. I liked the way that you added alll that information but you were talking about a diskette NOT A DRIVE. 935670[/snapback] Well first off, I don’t think anyone truly knows what you are asking. But if you have a FLOPPY DRIVE, you MUST use a FLOPPY DISK in the drive otherwise it will be good for nothing. Unless you are trying to say something to the effect: "Can parts from a 5 1/4 floppy disk drive be used for an Atari 2600 cartridge?” And maybe you are thinking (like Retro Archaeologist had thought you where asking) Can you use a 5 1/4 floppy disk drive type ribbon cable to add a Cartridge Port to your Flashback 2? And if this is your question look at Hacking the Atari Flashback and particularly Page 3 for your answer. And if you are still asking something else; please reword your question and we will be glad to answer it.

Perceived scarcity also plays an amazing role in determining prices. Someone else joked that as soon as Chad sells out, the things will sell for $300 on ebay. I don't know if that's quite true, but I would expect that there are a number of users who, if told that they had to spend $200 today or never ever be able to get a CC2 would do so; many of these users, however, see no particular rush and so they're perfectly happy to survive without a CC2 until tomorrow, and the day after, etc. 934805[/snapback] After the first batch was gone and Chad said no more, one went on e-bay for $400.

I got most of them to work except "Q*Bert" I changed to: 7800: Q*Bert WIP QBERT78 HSC_32K HSC 6a4865d8 WIP - So here is the new DB with these def's added: Current CC2 ROM database. I love the trakball version of Centipede.

Now it will sub menu at different levels. So if a company has more then 20 items: it will put in a entry like this in the COMPANY.CC2: ----20th Century Fox (Menu 22 itms)----- and will create a sub-menu like this: Alien Alligator People (Proto) Bank Heist Beany Bopper Crash Dive Crypts of Chaos Deadly Duck Earth Dies Screaming Entity (Proto) Fantastic Voyage Fast Eddie Flash Gordon M*A*S*H Mega Force Pick Up (Proto) Planet of the Apes (Proto) Porky's Revenge of the BS Tomatoes Save The Whales Spacemaster X-7 Turmoil Worm War I Return to COMPANY <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Here is my controller menu: ----------2-Btn (Menu 29 itms)---------- ---------------BoostrGrp---------------- Omega Race BoostrGrp ---------------CosmicCmd---------------- Survival Run CosmicCmd -----------------Drive------------------ Indy 500 Drive Stell-a-Sketch Drive ----------------FootCraz---------------- Video Jogger FootCraz Video Reflex FootCraz ----------------Joy+TPad---------------- Star Raiders Joy+TPad --------Joystick (Menu 641 itms)-------- -----------------Keypad----------------- BASIC Programming Keypad Brain Games Keypad Code Breaker Keypad Concentration Keypad MagiCard Keypad SynthCart (Paul Slocum) Keypad ----------------KidCtrl----------------- Alpha-Beam with Ernie KidCtrl Big Bird's Egg Catch KidCtrl Cookie Monster Munch KidCtrl Grover's Music Maker (Proto) KidCtrl Holy Moley (Proto) KidCtrl Monstercise (Proto) KidCtrl Oscar's Trash Race KidCtrl Peek-A-Boo (Proto) KidCtrl -----------------KidVid----------------- Berenstein Bears Smurfs Save the Day ------------------LGun------------------ 7800: Barnyard Blaster LGun 7800: Meltdown LGun Sentinel LGun Shooting Arcade (Proto) LGun ---------Paddles (Menu 45 itms)--------- Return to ROOT MENU <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< In here there are sub-menu's for: 2-Btn, Joystick, and Paddles If you can think of a better way to put these sub-menus items in please let me know.

In the current discription of Barnstorming: You could add a link to the Venetian Blinds Demo because of Just my 2 cents.

Sorry, didn't see that option. This must have changed while up-grading? OK, I put in sub-menu into that program of mine: Java CC2Menu Gen version 02 It does put in a sub menu for each company and each controller, so this will go 3 levels deep and make a lot of files to put on your MMC card. This still is/maybe buggy, so be warned. I can try to fix everything. (maybe I should start a new thread for bugs and enhancements.) Here is what it looks like now: Have fun

Chad, One minor thing: When you come back to the menu after powering off and back on, it is no longer in the menu but at the top menu, with –select- highlighted. Did you want that to happen, because with the old menus, it didn’t do that?

Hay thanks for trying!!!

OK there is something wrong with the new CCROMDB.TXT and this program when it comes to company order. The program will gen with controller order and/or game name order. The program is getting an error in the Company order part and will not go on to the controller order section after this error. I will need to fix and replace the program, maybe this weekend. Soory
