Hey everyone, need some advice. I have a Kaboom! cart that I recently acquired and it is not working. Black screen with slight static. I've tried reseating the cartridge in the system to clear up oxidation and cleaning the cart PCB tips with 91% isopropyl alcohol with a q-tip. Still no avail. What is the next thing I should do?

My understanding is the pattern is:
Steps 1-5: Clean the cart with iso
Step 6: Gently clean contacts with metal polish (this step is very divisive)
Step 7: Bust out the soldering iron to reseat/replace chips
For Kaboom, unless you happens to have the stuff for the latter steps around, it's better to replace it.

Hey everyone - need some help. I'm attempting to capture game footage from my 2600 using an RCA RF to AV adaptor and an Easycap 2.0 Av to USB capture device that plugs into my computer and I'm getting no sound or video signal. I can send pictures.

This question probably has been asked over a hundred times, but I'm interested in capturing footage from my 2600. I've researched multiple methods such as splitters and using a VCR, but I am stumped on which to go with that will provide great video and audio as well. I also want to find a way to broadcast it on Twitch.

I think an A/V mod is the first step, to get somewhat decent video and audio from the console. Then use some video capture device on the PC, that records from A/V signals but here is where YMMV in terms of what gives good results and what doesn't.
@HoshiChiri: You're lucky as the JR model is the one considered easiest to do an A/V mod with good results.

22.50 plus 4.49 shipping for a sealed Swordquest FireWorld. Yes or no?

Do you all have any advice on attempting Twin Galaxies records? I'm interesting in shooting for the Asteroids or Turmoil! Top 5 leaderboards. I have scored up to a 300K on Asteroids and 70K on Turmoil.
-
Does it seem like a weird goal to beat the high score record for the arcade version of Asteroids?

Is there a hack out there that adds music to Doom on the Atari Jaguar?

Opinions: Should AA start giving out patches for homebrew games like Activision did in the 80s, and/or make reproduction patches? I really want an Enduro patch but its 129$ on eBay.

There are places that make small runs of patches for not too much money. Some patches have already been made by AtariAge members before. Star Fire had a high score patch available for it, for example.
It's probably more of a logistical challenge than anything, since it's already a lot of work just producing cartridges, manuals and boxes.
I agree though - it would be cool to have some patches made for homebrews. Never hurts to suggest it.

@FJ Man I am a child of the arcade era (arcades with EM and space invader machines were my babysitter) so I know all about that. I think ESB would have benefitted from "waves" where you beat a certain number (or ever increasing number) of walkers before the next more difficult wave starts. i.e. Same inevitable death, but granting a sense of progression / accomplishment.
