The only games with POKEY chips were Ballblazer and Commando.
Ah, thank you for clarifying.
-
Quick question: do all Super Game Cartridges contain Pokey chips?
-
Aw nuts! Well, at least you're still willing to make carts for people willing to donate Pokey chips.Thanks but I'm not doing more batches. Check the post just before yours.
Edit: I'm off to find a BallBlazer donor cart.

Looking forward to the next batch of Donkey Kong PK, Tep!

Interesting story to say the very least. The orginal SGM was a lot bigger than I imagined.
-
You'd need to purchase an internal MYIDE board from the same site I linked to above.
D'oh! My apologies; I was so excited by the news, I missed your link!

Thank you; I really appreciate the responses! Since the mod is already complete, what parts would I need to take advantage of it? Flashjazzcat mentioned it was an internal MYIDE setup.
-
As you can tell, I am new to Atari computers. Is the cable inside my 130xe common and not a mod as first thought?
-
If the picture of the motherboard isn't good enough, please let me know so I can post a new one. I just noticed that my camera's flash is obscuring one of the chips that are attached to those wires.

As the title states, I recently purchased a working Atari 130XE. What I noticed right away is that someone had cut a hole on the backside of the case. Feeling curious, I decided to open the machine. What I found was a series of wire leads soldered to two different chips on the motherboard. These wires are all connected to what appears to be a passthru/power connector of some kind.
I am posting some photos hoping that someone here can indentify what this mod (or unfinished mod?) could be. It looks clean, but there is no electrical tape holding the wires in place, and I am worried about them eventually coming loose.

Ok, quick update.
The reason for the delays this year is mostly due to the Coleco drama that unfolded a few months back. The good news is that we got very near to 400 preorders in the current 4th run. Manufacturing has started. But the extra time required to redesign things delayed the modules and games a bit. We prefer to release things in batches, because of all the logistic involved. So Pac-Man DX releases around the same time as the SGM, with Donkey Kong following next. I made a sizeable investiment in DK already, I am surely not going to through all of that away.
Congrats on making nearly 400 pre-orders for the current 4th run of the SGM. And thank you for updating us on Pac-Man DX and Donkey Kong Arcade!

I almost dropped my cup of coffee when I saw Monster House on Collectorvision's website. Did you also happen to see the pre-order for Tank Mission?

As for the case, the worst part is the Intellivision cartridge slot, as it takes almost 1/4 of the space inside the case. We will have to see if we can fit everything in or if would be better to just drop that slot.
I know this comment won't be popular, but I think you should drop the cartridge port in favor of A/V output.

Just received the sprites graphics for Goonies from Illya. I am going to add that to the game that is already running and see how that loooks later today.

Those sprites are beautiful! I can't wait to see them in action.
I'm looking forward to seeing the video.

I'm still waiting for Opcode to restock Bosconian and Warp Warp; both games were suppose to be available back in February.And I am curious if we will see even one game release this year . There have been no color line ports released either . I remember reading he could release 12 - 15 a year but this year is almost over with zero . What about games like DKA , Ladubug , and there were others he said were close to done last year . Crossing my fingers .
Opcode could also just be busy with its IntelliXpander(sp?) project for the Intellivision. They're also porting a handful of games to support the new expansion module, which is probably very time consuming.
In either case - I'm sure Opcode will eventually get caught up and not only release the rest of its color line, but DKA as well.

Christmas of 2020 :-P
I hope not. Lol
-
I want Donkey Kong Arcade for my Colecovision! Please tell us we'll see it by Christmas.
-
I've been playing Operation Wolf and Thexder too much; I think the Venture Gods are angry at me. LOL I probably should play it later tonight to appease them.

It was the first game I ever played on a console. Still my all time favorite. A few weeks ago I played a 4 hour game to over 20,000,000 on Level 1.
Impressive! It might be time for me to revisit Venture again.
Once I do, maybe we can have a friendly highscore contest?-

Man I would like to play BOTH of those games.
Right now I am working on Venture Skill level 3
Great choice! Venture is my all-time favorite game on the Coleco.
-
Excellent choice as well! I need to get Sydney Hunter asap. It looks real good from the videos I've seen.Excellent choice!
I've just got Sydney Hunter, so that's going to be in there for awhile.

My latest pickup was a sealed copy of D2K Arcade for Intellivision for $65. The eBay seller I bought it from seems like a nice guy. He orginally had it up for $109US, but it never sold. After dropping his price a few times, I decided to make him an offer. Now I'm waiting for my game to arrive so I can play some Donkey Kong.
