Spriggy

Room of Doom - Game 1 B/B 4,025 Played on: Stella/NTSC Rom/KB. Found 5 seconds on nightshift to play RoD via Stella (on my thumbdrive), for the 1 bonus point.

Some fantastic games in the Gravity/Thrust themed genre, As aforementioned, 2600 Thrust and the legendary difficult Gravitar are the dux nuts. After youxia's comment on the C64, Space Taxi came straight to mind And yes Flo .... you are a freak

Deal is a deal

Nice Ncg Spondoolies coming your way as promised. PM me your paypal email. @Vocelli: Sorry mate, you missed out by 18 minutes.

$15 paypal spondoolies for the 1st Season 8 HSC player to post a score on this cx40 killer, with the official 2600 T&F controller (reasonable photo or video evidence required)

C'mon Red!! One more push ya bastard!! Likewise. It's actually intriguing stumbling on things like this and investigating PAL vs NTSC, Hardware vs Emulator, different cart variations. eg Similar to the 'Skiing' discussion last season. Nothing sinistar ... just it is what it is!

Ghost Manor - Game 1 B/B 278,800 Played on: PAL 'Vader' (Batari S-Video mod) / cx40 / PAL cart (double-ender). Never really played this. Pity about the points trolling technique, else would be a pretty fun quick game, where accuracy and every slight move counts. @Jin: Thx for the tips. Actually felt guilty trolling

The scrapper will check your current set from the beginning. If the rom data has already been downloaded, it will skip to the next rom and check. It probably cycles through the roms at 1 sec per rom or so (if the rom data has already been downloaded). If it gets to a new rom, it should download the data just for that rom then conintue its cycle check. Maybe a few minutes on a large rom collection.

Hard to tell on the pic, but looks like your 2 cart slot dust protector tabs have been broken off. They push into the 2600 tab slots, opening up the systems little dust protector flap. Try turning your 2600 upside down and then carefully wiggle the cart in. Over the years, the little mechanism that opens the dust cover becomes weak and can be opened by turning the system upside down, as aforementioned.

#vomit# Thanks Flo! Now back to the Circus. Oh .. and Taco Sunday was gr8 down here!

Curious, has the Atari TaCOO Michael Arzt said anything significant in social media, about the Atacobox, since his numpty interview with 'The Register'? Or have they shoved a pillow in face? I'm not on any social media, hence the query. PS. Sorry if he has and I missed the boat, deeper in this thread.

I left mine overnight, over a few days. From memory had a small error pop up, on 2 occasions, when I woke up and checked the PC. The errors stopped the scrapping. If this happens, just start the scrape again and it will remember the roms that have already been scrapped from a log file that saves. Other then that, very happy with it. Also, if you haven't, check out the options, Some good variables to adjust if you wanted.

Hah. Was waiting for him to do this .....

Come on troops! One more big effort! We need more Rollageness Gr8 participation by all. @S.BAZ : Thanks for the posted tips mate. Saved me having to figure it out .. and likely wouldn't have rolled without it. Cheers Also, the "Pseudo-Pause" technique allowed me to give the old wrist some cx40 respite.

Demon Attack - Game 7 A/ Rollageness Played on: PAL 'Vader' (Batari S-Video mod) / cx40 / NTSC cart. Me Happy

Fire Fighter - Game 8 (Bonus) 00:15 Played on: PAL 'Vader' (Batari S-Video mod) / cx40 / PAL cart. Meh.

Demon Attack - Game 7 A/ 51,830 Played on: PAL 'Vader' (Batari S-Video mod) / cx40 / NTSC cart. Classic 2600 shooter. Timing is everything. Game 7 A/ even moreso.

You leave Old Man Vocelli alone Jin. The 60 odd submissions is playing havoc with his cranium.

Damn Jin! Do you have steroid hands or something!? Wouldn't want to give you a high-five if that's the case.
