MAKING CUSTOM CARTRIDGES

[MAKING CUSTOM CARTRIDGES]

What's with the blacking out of the chip numbers? Do you just want to show off and not allow any of us to make our own?

[supercharger]

I'd check ebay often, and you could post in the marketplace forum asking for one.

[Joystick extention cord?]

I have a 9-pin y cord. I can't think of any reason to have 2 joysticks plugged into 1 port' date=' but I have the cord.[/quote']

That would be for the 2600 variants that use the joysticks with built-in paddles, allowing four player paddle games....

[supercharger]

It will work on a jr.

Until you mod it, you can use it to play supercharger games.

Once modded, you can play any 2k or 4k game in modded mode, and any of the supercharger games in supercharger mode.

[High Score Club Week 16: Taz]

I don't own Taz but but I own Asterix (AFAIK it is the same game with modified graphics). May I play Asterix on my real VCS or I'am obligied to participate playing Taz on an emulator ?

I thought about this too... can anyone confirm that the only differences between the two games are the graphics? That is' date=' all the scoring, speed, and so forth are the same? If so, then I suppose it's alright.

According to atariprotos.com, the graphics were the only thing changed....

[FS: Sega Master System 3D Glasses + Games- SOLD]

Damn, I don't really want/need/can't afford the games....

The only sms stuff I want right now is a light gun so I can play sentinel and a pair of 3-d glasses so I can use MEKA's serial port adapter to play stuff in 3-d.

[High Score Club Week 16: Taz]

What's going on?!?! In Ze_ro's last post in week fifteen, he said the game was skydiver.

[Best version of Frogger]

The PB version is good if you want to play a quick game,(no supercharger loading required...) the Starpath one feels, plays and looks more like the arcade version. I prefer the Starpath version, the PB version isn't as interesting to me. In the Starpath version, you get to see more of the different enemies. And, it's just prettier than the PB version.

[FS: Sega Master System 3D Glasses + Games- SOLD]

How much do you want for just the glasses, I don't need/want the games.

[Schematics needed!]

I need help finding schematics of the Coleco Telstar Combat, and the magnavox oddyessey.

[How do you arrange you Atari Carts?]

By part number, but that will probably change when my collection gets too big to fit in one box.

[Why did Atari produce TWO 8 bit systems?]

Actually, the "C" stands for CMOS. The 65C02 is the CMOS version of the 6502, it lowers the power consumption and adds a few new instructions but isn't "custom" in any way.

Hmm. That's interesting. In 15 years of reading info about the Lynx, I've never heard that one!

 

Read this page.

[Need advice for PCB]

Also, no the 7805 won't be damaged. I wouldn't suggest trying surface mount, there are special soldering stations that are necessary to solder them to the board, these are generally very expensive.

About the joystick current, the 4016 should be fine.

[Why did Atari produce TWO 8 bit systems?]

The Lynx is a plain old 65C02, an 8-bit processor, running at 4Mhz.

Well, the "C" is supposed to stand for "Custom" so I don't think it was the "plain old" 65C02.

[FS TONS of new and used Classic/Modern Games and Accessories]

Holy shit! Small world!

 

I bought some stuff from you awhile ago. I had no idea you were part of atariage!

[Reproduction games]

That may be why they decided to make the pcb's red.

[Why did Atari produce TWO 8 bit systems?]

You are. There is no 68000 in the Lynx. It uses a custom 6502 for it's CPU.

 

Oh, yes (what was I thinking )

 

But I'm very sure it's a 16bits 6502, in other words a 65816 (like in the SNES)

 

The SEGA Genesis contains a 68000

 

The genesis also had a Z80 in it.

[Wanted: Poll Questions]

What game would you like to see ported to the 2600?

 

Galaga

Bubble Bobble

Bomberman

[Strange Games]

The games that use the switches for something other then difficultly or pause/ black-white.

Doesn't Pressure Cooker use one of the difficulty switches to toggle background music on or off?

 

As does Moon Patrol...

 

So does pengo.

 

Riddle of the sphinx uses both joysticks.

[Label glue]

I dunno, it works for me.

[Need advice for PCB]

I would find an enclosure that you like, and then size the board and connectors to fit.

[Label glue]

Try an acid-free glue stick.

[TI99 + Tunnels of Doom - Emulation possible?]

I want a good place to find ti99 roms as well, I might buy a ti99 off ebay for my dad, it was the first computer he ever had. They go for very little on ebay, your best bet is trying to find the original game and getting a ti99 off ebay.

 

I may very well end up doing just that...buying a TI99 plus the required hardware add-ons to play it. I was just hoping to get a small taste of this game before doing so though.

 

The TI has some fantastic arcade-style games. The best part about their Space Invaders and Pacman clones (ie: TI Invaders and Munchman) is the silky-smooth frame rate and scrolling. Fire up either of these two games and then try out equivalents on any other console/computer of that era and you'll see the difference!

 

Dykesr is selling one for $20 at the marketplace if you want it.
