  1. Its more than 3 way and a bit pricey but I recommend gscartsw available here: http://www.gretrostuff.com/store/. I have one and works great with Jaguar and other systems with rgb output (including modded systems). A 170 page thread on his switches found on Shumps forum here: https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=50851 Otherwise, there are 5 position Bainbridge scart switches which you might still be able to find on EBay.
  2. GDEMU works great. Can be a bit tricky to set up the SD cards exactly as you want. USB-GDROM also works great and to me is easier to set up the SD card. Have both. Both work great. My preference is the USB-GDROM for ease of organizing and setting up the SD card.
  3. Game is exactly the same. Overlays are the same. Box, manual and cart label differ
  4. If you gave an RGB setup, I would recommend the Sophia video mod. Best quality picture of the different mods.
  5. If I'm not too late, I'd also appreciate it vi could buy one. PM sent.
  6. If it was true, you would expect Atari to confirm that on their IGG page to their backers.
  7. If it was really shipping in October, Atari would just directly say that. Their silence does not provide any support to the accuracy of the article. This is a pattern I've seen over and over on the IGG comments. Posters will make claims about the VCS / games / status. Atari is silent to those claims and does not respond to them. Posters then run with them as fact. Very clever by Atari as a way to make it seem like things are happening. Clearly nothings happening or Atari would confirm some of them or say something definitive. Also what BS Atari is giving about their prior statements on shipping dates. "Weeks, not months". Their explanation as to why that did not happen: we believed it when we said it. By that logic say anything you want. When its shown to be not true, oh well we thought it was true when we said it. Try that with your spouse when you say you'll do something and then don't. But honey I meant it and it was it true when I said I would, even though I didn't do it.
  8. @Albert - I originally sent in a request on the store contact form? Am I even on a list to get one? Thank you
  9. I enjoyed it back in the easy. It all comes down to whether you enjoy this type of game.
  10. I have both. To me, graphically the 7800 version has better sprites, moves smoother and looks more like the arcade version. However I prefer playing the 5200 version because of the dual stick controller holder.

    Mad Bodies

    Finally played Mad Bodies recently. Was surprised its a breakout type game. For me it was more frustrating than fun. Its one of those unobtainium things that's for collectors more than players.
  12. Been watching the IGG comments for the least couple of weeks. Atari has plenty of time to delete posts. But no time to provide any update or answer any questions.
  13. Attached are properly formatted manual files. I do not have image files. Please post them if you find them. manuals formatted for sd card.zip
  14. I have never seen updated firmware for the AtariMax SD card and I've owed one since shortly after it was offered for sale. I've attached as a zip a backup of the original SD card that was included with the cartridge. contents of orignal included SD card.zip
  15. As a long time reader of this thread and the IGG comments, observations are: Years late Past latest shipment date No update on when to expect shipment No exclusive games announced No OS shown that actually runs anything but tiles Windows 10 shown running - not even licensed, only "evaluation" mode Parts for 500 units (and never said they are assembled units) when pre orders are greater than 10,000 Deleting real questions on IGG asking for status updates Not deleting personal attacks on IGG THEY HAVE NOTHING NEAR READY
  16. I would not be surprised if "developers" = OS programmers and not game programmers. In other words they are were being sent to folks to develop the software to make it turn on so that you can then have a chance to play a game.
  17. Very nice!! Probably cost as good amount to make. Enjoy it!!
  18. Thinking more about city, I don't think I flashed anything. It was the VBXE that need flashing as it came set up for XE computers. Revision C was just a change to DVI output. On mine I had set jumpers to get it to output a picture. Simius install instructions were:
  19. I've installed a Sophia several years ago. I have a number of firmware files. I don't remember which file I used on it. I'm attaching everything I received from Simius. It might be something as simple as jumper settings. Sophia_all files.zip
  20. I have original prints of those 3 books. They are for the Atari 8 bit computers. Many years ago taught myself assembly and make a couple of games which were in Antic magazine
  21. FYI - I did this technique on a really beat up Atari 5200 metal strip. It actually created all new brush marks in the metal strip. Mine did not come out as shiny as the original strip was. Also, I could still make out the old scratches and dents but they were masked by new horizontal lines. To me, it was debatable whether it looked any better. However, it it did not look like the original strip. I am usually very good at this stuff, but I may not be as skilled as Bratwurst.
