Dead Commodore Cartridg

[Dead Commodore Cartridg]

I found that sometimes, you can get nes carts to work by lightly tossing it upwards with a spin on it and catching it with a clapping motion(frisbee style, only vertically).

[Nintendo Miracle System]

I learned to play somewhat from a miracle. My parents had bought a special set that came with a computer version, an NES cart, and the keyboard and cables.

 

I played the NES version a couple of times, I didn't like it very much.

I did like the computer version a lot though.

[c64 eprom cart]

I need schematics for an eprom cart for the c64, so I can play games instantly. I know nothing about the c64 cartridge port, so any help is appreciated.

[No longer looking for a Supercharger]

Too low, I paid $45 plus shipping for mine!

[Wanted: C64 disk drive]

I don't need any disks, as i have a whole bunch of pc formatted 5 1/4 disks as I posted in the classic gaming general forum.

@ Voch, any 5 1/4 disk will work, all you have to do is reformat it to commodore formatting, see my other post.

 

@susuwatari, there is a better way to ship drives, look here.

[Newbie needs help]

Maybe the rf signal isn't strong enough.....

Using the phono to coax adaptor, connect the atari to the antenna input on a vcr, and connect the output of the vcr to your tv. Turn the atari and vcr on, and change the vcr to channel 2 or 3, if that doesn't work, then use the vcr's auto channel setup, making sure the atari is on before you start. You could also try running the atari through your cable box and using it as an amplifier.

Finally, try replacing the rf cable in your atari with a different one. You should also check all of the solder joints for dry joints, it might be a bad connection.

[Wanted: C64 disk drive]

I'm not looking to spend alot, much less on shipping cuz those things are heavy, just as long as it works.

[Newbie needs help]

You're not trying to use an auto switching adaptor are you? the signal may not be strong enough. Try connecting the phono-to-coaxial adaptor to the antenna input on your TV. that may help....

[Wanted: C64 disk drive]

I am looking for a working 1541 disk drive with all cables, I can only do paypal.

[Disk formatting]

I was kind of looking to find out how to format the disks.

I've never had a c64 before.

[Disk formatting]

I have a whole bunch of old 5 1/4 floppies from an ancient pc, I know that pc and commodore 64 formatting is different, is it possible to reformat the disks to commodore 64 formatting? It would be nice if I didn't have to buy a whole bunch of disks that are already formatted, cuz I have a small budget.

[Bestbuy F%^&S up. Good deal on Myst: Uru game.]

Get a razor blade and gently peel the 19.99 sticker off one of their other games, and descretely stick it on the tv.......

[So.. final word.. Super Mario Sunshine.. Worth $30?]

I hate Starfox: adventures, but that's because I liked starfox 64 alot, Adventures uses the same battle engine as zelda, and kind of reminds me of jakk & daxter. If you want mario, you could wait until the DS comes out and get super mario 64x4. (The DS is going to be a total flop)

[Myst Games Any Good?]

So, were the online servers for uru dropped or something?

[mame slowdown question]

Dammit! So does this mean that having a sweet-ass state-of-the-art-when-you-but-it-but-obsolete-when-you-get-it-hooked-up graphics card won't help make wargods run any faster? If that is the case then what's with all of the 3d options in mamewin?

[Atari 2600 Prototypes For Sale - Update]

Be careful, ebay has a tendency to pull anything that looks like a pirate, though they're not very good at determining which things are pirates.

There was a post in another part of the forum where some dumbass on ebay was trying to sell a whole bunch of obvious atari 8-bit pirates, (generic 5 1/4 floppies with the title hand-written in sharpie) someone even reported it to the bigwigs there and they responded that there was no proof that the disks were pirated.....

[Atari 2600 Prototypes For Sale - Update]

It might help if you can tell which cart are NTSC or PAL as you live in Europe.

 

Below is the list of goodies. All games are in American NTSC format.

[7800 problem: read 2600 carts, but dont 7800 carts]

You should try modding your 7800's system bios so that it doesn't require a verification key.

 

Here's a file by Bruce Tomlin on how to mod your 7800 so you can replace the bios rom with an eprom.

[7800 problem: read 2600 carts, but dont 7800 carts]

How many different 7800 carts have you tried? Try playing an atari brand 7800 cart. The 7800 carts have a verification key to prevent unlicensed 7800 games from running, and to determine if the cart is a 2600 cart or a 7800 cart. The chip that performs the check may be bad.

[Headset USB adaptor]

Oh, that's just a mic and a speaker connected together, that plugs into your pc soundcard. I don't think that there are any adaptors for usb, there are special codecs and chips that are necessary. You're better off just buying a headset designed for the PS2.

[Buying Hacks]

I usually kick the switch with my foot.  HAHA!  :-)

Same here!

[BLOODY HUMAN FREEWAY]

Probablly because alot of us don't know how to do graphical hacks other than the sprite shape(2600gfx).

[Headset USB adaptor]

What kind of headset is it? Shutterglass, hmd, etc...

[Modded Supercharger woes]

That fixed it! Damn, the new version's purty.

[3D NES games.....]

Nope, I don't think so, but I didn't know zaxxon had the option, you can play it in 2d in meka by only looking at one side. But that takes all of the fun out of it.
