Guys, I notice that the boxart for DK VCS says it has the levels from Jumpman Returns in it as a bonus. I'm going mad trying to find them. Are they there?

Ok, here is something. Hope it is a reasonable solution for everybody. Let’s wait another 6 months and if things with the Pro aren’t clearly sorted out by then (I.e. we have a clear timeline for the OMNIvox sound chip) then I will go ahead and release DKA as it is. Does that sound reasonable?
Obviously that's not a binding commitment or anything, but... six months have come and gone now. Is everything sorted? And if not, dare we dream...?

Lance sold to me outside of USA. Ordered via e-mail and paid via paypal. Happy to support the author.
So am I. That was the whole original point of this post, trying to give him money...
-
You should send Lance an email first before placing an order. He is pretty good at getting back to you fairly quickly. That way you will know if the item is in stock or not.
The website is so ridiculously terrible I can't tell if they even sell outside the USA (which I am) at all. And as I don't own a real Atari 800 any more, it's a bit of a moot point anyway.
-
(I *think* I finally just managed to find their barely-working website. It says "If you order something from us and we don't have it in stock, we'll give you store credit only, no refunds." LOL.)

Fair enough. I'm new here and was just genuinely asking. I'm amazed that nobody with a cart has just gone "sod it" and dumped it, in that case. It's been a decade.
I can't get to the end of the demo anyway, so it might as WELL be the full game

It seems bizarre that - especially now Xtreem is a decade old and "obsolete" after the release of Elite - there doesn't seem to be any way to get either game without buying a monstrously expensive physical cart (although that may be a moot point as I can't actually find a working link to buy either one in physical format either). Wouldn't they like some money from us emulator players too? And if not, why not just release Xtreem for free as a taster?

when you have a moment can you send me a file with everything in it and I'll put them up on ftp.whtech.com/cartridges/ctg
All the files I've done are attached in the posts above.

I'm not into your emulator, but THAT version of Tutankham is for programming the UberGROM board.
You would have better luck using the << FinalGROM 99 Version >>
Please bear in mind that this program uses GROM & ROM components, hopefully your emulator can deal with it. Good Luck!
That did the trick, many thanks
Here's the working CTG for anyone who wants it.

Meanwhile, does anyone know what to do with this to get it to run on an emulator?
These are the instructions that came with it, but they're all Greek to me and seem to refer mainly to running it on real hardware.
"Inside are 4 files to flash to the 2 chips on the UberGrom cartridge board:
at49F040.bin : The 8K rom code, filled into all banks of the 512k rom, so no matter what bank your ubergrom starts on, it will find the code.
atmega1284p-code.BIN : The ubergrom chip code segment with the groms
atmega1284p-config.BIN : The fuse settings for the ubergrom chip
atmega1284p-data.BIN : Not actually sure what this is, but there are some bytes in it so flash those... (Oh, this is the portion Gazoo's images called eeprom)
If using the MINI-PRO TL866 programmer, there are 3 tabs for the different segments. The atmega files are named to match the name of the segment to load into, either by changing the radio selector when loading the file, or by switching to that tab before picking the File->Load function."
-
And here's Arcturus and Neverlander as well. (Neverlander has an annoying constant noise, but plays fine.)

Okay, here's all the ones I've managed to get working:
JetPac
Jet Set Willy
Knight Lore
Mummy's Tomb
Night Stalker
Red Planet
Road Hunter
Sabre Wulf
Snake Plissken
Sparkdrummer's Challenge Rescue At AtariAge
(None of the other stuff on the page is in the right 8K-multiple cart format and I can't do anything with it.)
Enjoy, and thanks again

(Hey, I don't suppose you fancy doing any of the better games from here as well, do you? I can't get CONVERT to do anything at all now, it just whines about my having an old Windows and crashes, even though it used to at least run. I'll have another bash at it, though.)
Never mind - I got CONVERT running in a command window and I think I'm sorted. Here's JetPac, will upload others when they're done

These ctg files are working. Apparently the convertion tool has the inverse idea of bank inversion, so a non-inverted cart needs the -9 switch and an inverted cart needs the -8 switch.
Oh, you absolute star. Those do indeed work beautifully. Thank you SO much, you've made an old man very happy

I don't know a ton about the ctg format, but our binary cart images are mostly just binary dumps of ROM. It can't be that tough to convert that to another format if you must.
You'd think that, wouldn't you? And yet...
-
Yeah, I've had numerous failed attempts myself. Thanks for trying. May try contacting the author.
-
Yes, those are the ones I already had, but ta.

The multiplicity of incompatible formats for various TI emus is perplexing me, and I'm having a nightmare trying to convert between them.
I know a bunch of games have already been converted to CTG but I particularly want to play a couple that don't seem to have been, namely the homebrew port of Scramble and Flying Shark, and the emulator I'm using is CTG-only. I've tried using CONVERT-CTG but it's incredibly flaky (it hates older versions of Windows and I'm on 7), and I've had no luck with those titles.
Has anyone written a vaguely user-friendly convert tool, or just converted those games already? Any help much appreciated.
-
Apologies for reviving this old thread again, but is there any way of converting any of the files here (DSK, BIN or RPK) to the CTG format used in the Retropie TI emulator? I'm a huge Scramble fan and I'd absolutely love to be able to play this great port on my Pi.
