Are there any pics of this on the net? As time goes on I tend to swing more towards the prototype/unreleased line of thinking. At least I hope it's not a production game so that my set will stay complete!

Did people finally give up on there being a release of Bingo for the RCA?

I picked up a nice cib atlantis black box at mgc this year. I think it was $13. Still looking for the other 2 though.

The biggest use I ever got out of multiple was for copying disks. I can't think of too many games that would support multiple drives, most just relied on swapping the disk in whatever drive number you loaded from. For my modern usage, I just keep one hooked up for reading disks into my 1541u. Other than that, I don't use one anymore.

No worries, it's still running fine and getting lots of love!

seriously though i need aprrox. times or something funny though. It all depends on the game. If you are looking for instant gratification, the 64 isn't for you. If you are willing to put up with load times, there are a lot of treasures to be found.

Count me in for a badge as well!

What kind of stuff are you bringing? This show will be my last opportunity to spend crazy before I get married so I'm looking to do just that! Here's my list. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/137029-tempests-classic-gaming-items-for-sale/ Tempest Thanks for the list! Looks like the stuff I may have gone after has already sold, but I'll still check with you at the show.

Your old cart still has a great home and I'm glad to hear you aren't regretting selling it!

I tend to hang out at DP more than AA, but I figured I'd throw my name in here as well. I haven't missed a CGE since 2002 and I don't intend to start now!

Bought a pair of Video Reflex/Video Jogger carts from him. Arrived in just a couple of days packed very well. I'll gladly buy from Riffraff again!

Got mine as well today. They both look great, even unused as Carey85 mentioned! Very happy with this deal!

Received mine as well yesterday. Looks great and will be an awesome addition to my collection!!

Very nice! This is one I've been working on for about as long as well, though not as consistently I'm sure. Outside of Gal's Fighters and Magical Drop, what were the hardest games to get?

Didn't you try this on DP already?? http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=139260

Option 1 please.

I don't see why they wouldn't. I've travelled with all kinds of consoles before and have run them through the x-ray machines at the airports with no problems.

For those that think that sniping is how people win auctions, you either don't understand how ebay works or don't understand what sniping is. For example, let's take an uber rare combat cart. The seller starts bidding at $20.00. Bidder 1 comes along the first day and puts an initial bid of $20.00 on it and is now winning it at $20.00. Bidder 2 decides he really wants this cart and bids $40.00 on the second day. He is now winning at $20.00 + the auction increment. We'll call it a dollar increment, so he is winning at $21.00. Bidder 3 is going to use a sniping tool, so he puts in a snipe for $35.00 set to fire in the last 10 seconds of the auction. At this point, the auction is still being won by bidder 2 for $21.00 as bidder 3 has not actually placed a bid. Bidder 4 comes in and bids $30.00 on the final day. Bidder 2 is still winning at $31.00. In the last 10 seconds, the snipe for bidder 3 fires and bids $35.00. Bidder 2 is still over this so the bid becomes the max for the sniper + the increment, so bidder 2 wins for $36.00. The same scenario will play out if bidder 3 manually places his snipe. The method of placing the bid does not matter. The reason you are losing to snipers is their max bids are higher than yours. The time of the bid has little to do with winning or losing. Bid your max and if you win, great. If not, someone valued the item higher than you. This isn't sniping. You were automatically outbid because the existing max bid is higher than yours. But this is the reason why sniping can be a good idea. If you tip your hand early, people will do this to you. Some just trying to win the item, some trying to artificially inflate the price.

The version I have is from Gamebase, but I'll re-verify it tonight. I distinctly remember playing it because it quickly reminded me that I never was any good at it!!

If the uIEC were just a bit more compatible, I would have one for the very reason you mentioned above. Being able to hack it into the system itself would rock! But as an old school C-128 user (got it when I was 9 or 10), I've got a ton of nostalgia for the system and spend a lot of time playing my old favorites. That put me in a position where I needed actual drives, at least until the 1541u came out. All of the various multi-cart options for the C= have ups and downs. The 2 best seem to be the uIEC and the 1541u with cost and compatibility being the tradeoff between them. The 1541-III is a beautifully constructed device, but has the same compatibility issues as the uIEC and costs a fair bit more. If you like the pretty case and LCD though, it's nice. The 1541u is *THE* device to have, but it costs quite a bit and is hard to get a hold of right now. A second batch is planned, but so far a date has not been announced. Even with that, it's probably already sold out. Plan on months to get a 1541u. In reality, for most people, the uIEC is the perfect way to get a taste of the system. There is no shortage of games that will work on it and there have been a number of games that have had their fast loader code stripped out, allowing them to work on devices such as this (look for IDE fixed games I believe). But if you think you want to really explore the library, get a 1541u or even real drives (get 1571s if at all possible, they are much more robust and less prone to the heads getting out of alignment than the 1541s). You can always use an X1541 cable and drive to create disks from a pc. It's slow, but works very well.

I believe that's correct, but I don't have an uIEC of my own so I'm not positive. I'm guessing that's about the time that the software speed loader kicks in though, so it's not real surprising that it crashes. I was pretty certain that Brain had mentioned he wasn't able to emulate any of the stuff necessary for custom loaders but have also read that it was approaching the ability to use custom code in the drive emulation. Guessing folks just don't understand how the custom loaders and such work on the C= line. Still, for a casual user, the uIEC is a nice piece of hardware. Too many compatibility issues for my taste (I'm a 1541u user), but a nice cheap-ish way to get a taste of what the 64 is all about. Unfortunately, there are many great games with custom loaders so I think people going this way are missing out on a lot of fun.

I'll have to dig around a bit, but I'm thinking the EA images in the GB64 archive still have a fast loader in them. Pretty sure those are the ones that ask if you want to enable or disable it on loading. Something like Mail Order Monsters comes to mind. If you don't have it, lmk and I'll ship it over. Should be just a matter of getting to the title screen on this one.
