  1. My knowledge of Prometheus is limited to what is posted here, so feel free to correct me if what I am about to say isn't feasible: would it be possible for a third-party to develop an expansion module to play Atari 2600 games on the Prometheus? From what I have read, the system will have an expansion port of some kind. With that being said, could the aforementioned expansion module output the composite signal in HD? The Prometheus will use HDMI, right? I'm just wondering if an expansion module/software emulation combo could work around the new tech being used in Prometheus.

     

    Edited for additional comments.


  2. How sad. They used Ben Heck's portable (which they had no involvement in) to purchase the Coleco trademark; they've harassed hombrew developers and gamers alike for using the Coleco logo; and now they're buying Twitter/Facebook followers to create a false sense of progression (and security) for their 'shell' company on Social Media. I haven't seen this company do anything honest or positive since this entire debacle started. SMH

     

    Their days are numbered in the retro community, whether they want to believe it or not. Good riddance, I say!

     

    Edited for spelling.

  3. If the Ataribox isn't any of those things (i.e. a retro console; modern console; or a flashback system) then it must be an online streaming device with internal storage. If it's not a streaming device, then what else could it possibly be?

  4. While browsing Youtube last night, I came across something that I never knew existed - the Coin-Op Arcadia series. Apparently, these machines were a series of upright coin-op machines that contained expanded A500 motherboards that accepted up to eight smaller PCB game boards, which contained games. Think SNK's Neo-Geo MVS and you'll get the basic idea.

     

    Ninja Mission for the Arcadia looks incredible. The backgrounds animate; the sprites are larger; there's better sound; a faster-paced soundtrack; and a boss at the end of the game. Aaargh and other Masteronic/Arcadia games also appeared on the Coin-Op Arcadia with additional/improved visuals, better sound, etc.

     

    Just thought I'd share my findings with those that may not be fimiliar with the Coin-Op Arcadia. And those that are fimiliar with the system -- please chime in with what you know about it!

  5. Great seller that provides fast, professional service! I purchased a pair of Atari 7800 controllers from him 4 days ago. The items not only arrived quickly, but they were packaged extremely well. He comes highly recommended as far as I'm concerned!

  7. We shouldn't attack the Rainbow Brite game as it being made from some homebrewers on this site

     

    They are not the troublemakers that did the unlawful DMCA requests or other trollish behavior

    Oh, great. I had no idea that homebrew developers from the community were working on Rainbow Brite. I've read a good portion of this on-going saga, but apparently not enough of it! I apologize to the hombrew developers for the comment I made. I'm just upset with Coleco, Cardillio and the trouble they have caused.

  8. The SGM works fine with my orginal Coleco power adapter, so I doubt it requires anything special to power it.

     

    Yeah, I broke down and bought one on eBay. But despite this, I still plan on pre-ordering a second unit from the 4th production run to support Opcode. The one I bought on eBay was a lot cheaper than some of the others, which all sold for $300+..


  9. I use ICVGM 303 to make screen mode 2 to make tilesets. I used cvgraphictoolkit -> CV SPRITE 2 to make sprites. It easier to sandwich sprites in that application. It should be with newcoleco homebrew kit.

    Thank you! I'll look into it along with Magellan, which artrag suggested. It'll be good to have more than one program to try.


  10. You do not fit the vdp limitations

    Thank you for mentioning this! The sprites attached above need to be converted to fit the VDP, but I don't know which program I should use. I initially posted this to show that I am a pixel artist, and I am excited and very enthuiastic about contributing to projects. I don't care about being paid, etc. Knowing that my work is in a Coleco game is worth more to me than any amount of money.
