I wonder if it wold even install on Win10. Probably not. The music was excellent.

This may have been asked before, but is it possible to manufacture Pokey chips?
No. There is a replacement being developed called the HOKEY but it is slow going. So until the Hokey is done you will have to find old Pokeys.

Our controllers deliver high quality arcade controls to both the Atari 2600 and 7800. You can find them in the AtariAge store!
I second this fully. If you want the absolute BEST controller go with an Edladdin. I have the Edladdin Supreme 78 All-Play 4/8 and it is amazing. Ed is currently building me a Super Twin 78 and I can't wait to get it.
If you want the best go with Edladdin. If you want your classic controllers to be the best they can be, go with Best Electronics like I stated above.

I loved Lode Runner. First played it on a friends Apple ][e.
I used to play the updated Windows one that Sierra released Lode Runner - The Legend Returns. Fun stuff.

I have also done the Best Gold rebuild kits and they resurrected my childhood CX40's. I did clean all 3 sets of paddles I had. One turned out perfectly the other 2 I still have some jitters or non responsiveness. When I ordered my rebuild kits from Best I went ahead and ordered a pair of lifetime pots paddles because I new I had SCAA and Medieval Madness coming and they are dead on accurate. Even if I suck at both games I cant blame the paddles because they just work.

Yes he is.
Here's a pic of the Marc O box that I purchased a while back. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/265890-new-donkey-kong-pk-batch/?p=3768928
Nice so he has an PK version now. The last time I was on all I saw was XM!
I need to do another order. I have at least more Home Brews I need boxes for.
You can email him at - [email protected]

Did someone make a DK PK box for sale?
Marc O makes a XM box. I was going to link directly to his 7800 catalog. But his shop is currently down for an update until tomorrow.
If you are in the US you can't order directly from the site. But send Marc an email with what you want and he will make it happen via paypal.

What is the going rate for purchasing a pre-order?
I am curious also. I am on the latecomer list. But I am sure that there are people who have given up and moved on and would like their investment back.

Never got back to me
They are reassessing their pricing now that there actually seems to be a market for 250 Combat carts. Who would have thought?

Nice update. Thanks. Now that I have DKPK I can open up another slot on my Mateo's and try some other roms.

If you come across such a thing (e.g. an older PMP homebrew not working anymore), please let me know. Even if he hacked up a board that isn't mine. I'll try to get you a new board with the same game on it.
I appreciate the offer. My only issue is this cart has his autograph on it. The guts might be replaceable but the label would likely be messed up.
Ya I am weird like that. Technically the cart didn't cost me a dime. I bought from a member here. And when it didn't work he refunded my money even after finding out it was autographed.

Not to derail the thread too much, but is there a difference between the Jr. Pac-Man you have here and the one currently available in the store? It's on my list for the next AtariAge order.
Should be the same one in the store. It's the two on the bottom that are new and haven't been listed for sale in the store yet.
Ya it's the same one that is in the store. That is where it is from.
When we placed our Pre-Orders Al asked if there were any other things from the store that we were thinking about buying he could add them to our pre-orders to save us some shipping. The Jr. Pac-Man I had from Pac-ManPlus' personal original offering would no longer boot. So I added it and MM which is an AMAZING update of 2600 Warlords by Darrel Spice here. So I added those 2 older games to my order.

trebor pretty much nailed it.
The only thing I would add is if you are a Donkey Kong fan don't bother with the retail release save that money and put it towards tep392's DKPK.
You can get on the waiting list here. This version is the only Donkey Kong you need. It has all for levels too many options to list. For a great review listen to daubers episode about it here.

Good question. One concern I have is if the AtGames has any sort of exclusivity clause that would exclude an AA store release. It would break my heart not to get this on cart...
I would hope that if this is licensed somehow that it would be licensed down to the level that say FROGGER was back in the FERG.
PARKER Bros got the cartridge rights and Starpath got the magnetic rights. Thus 2 very different versions of the same game for the same system.
So AT Games would get "Portable/Emulation" rights for Flashbacks and that would leave "Cartridge" rights open for AA. (One would hope)
I hope this is how it goes down if it becomes an issue. Granted I will always have the last released ROM on my Harmony to play on real hardware, but in the same breath I would still buy an 8k version on cart in the store if it was offered.

And Pics, Please.

It looks like he originally linked to a gallery and then later restricted permissions to the gallery.
I think the first one is A1 88 5425514 though the last 5 may be a 6, it is hard to tell.
The second one is X2 01 027306.
If you are getting ready to do an update then I guess I should dig up the rest of my 7800s and post the serials.

I just read in another forum that Photobucket has now blocked all 3rd party viewing and that links that once worked fine, now show as broken. As a photobucket user this pisses me off a little bit. That might also be the issue in this case.

Nice! Thanks Just placed an order! AGAIN!

Sure, I believe I shared this once before? But here it is again. You will need to edit the batch file to accommodate your specific drive letter that your Mateos cart uses. I take ZERO responsibility for anything this goofs up should you decide to use it. It works great for me, but that doesn't mean it works great for everyone.

This also solved my problems with WIN10 way back when I got my Mateo's Cart. - Tanks CB!

I couldn't get any microSD cards to work, or even SDHC, had to use actual SD card (1GB).

Edladdin Super 78 is my go-to.
TAC-2 would be second choice.
Slik Stik would be #3.
From there, a CX40 with Best's Gold board in it outperforms anything else not included above.
You took the words right out of my mouth.

Being a "new guy" here...
Is one these guys you are talking about atari2600.com.
I tried to place an order over there about a month ago. They are "in my back yard" so to speak.
Their CC processing kicks back an error, sent 2 - 3 emails with no response.
The site has 2017 dating all over it but I was told in another thread that it hasn't been updated in years. So I guess I just saved $50 to go toward new HB's tomorrow.
