    Are you saying that someone has put together an IDE for other classic platforms?  If so, which ones?

     

    I think an IDE would be cool, but I think all anyone here needs is a debugger.  The ability to set breakpoints, single-step and all that would be nice.  I hear that the Stella team might integrate this into the next major release, due this summer.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.

    Ah sorry... I meant for newer platforms like PS1, PS2, GC, XBox, PSP, etc...

     

    I guess my question is valid for all classic consoles, but more so for the 2600, since it should be the simplest (I think!!!) console out there.

     

    A debugger would be a great step if Stella does indeed include such feature!

     

    But I was talking about a fully-featured IDE, which would support everything from writing code to debugging, because it's many times necessary/convenient to just make a quick and small change in the code, and press F5/F7 to re-run the thing, without having to toggle between 2 or 3 apps while remembing not to skip a step in the process :)

     

    Looks like all the parts are out there really, just not in one package. I just saw that 6502 debugger, and then there's Stella, and of course your favorite editor, etc...

    Hello guys,

     

    I was thinking of doing some programming for the Atari 2600, and started reading a bit on the subject here and there.

     

    I've programmed various platforms, and invariably there would always be at least one (mostly) complete IDE available for it.

     

    Now, it seems there is no such thing for the 2600 (unless of course I missed it :D)...

     

    Quite frankly, I was surprised about that... There seems to be a fair amount of people willing to spend time working on the 2600, yet nobody spent time on development tools?

     

    By fully-featured IDE, I mean something like, say, MS Visual C++ and would contain the following capabilities (I might have missed a few fundamental things, since I'm not yet too familiar with developing on the 2600):

     

    -Emulator portion

    -Cycle-perfect emulation of the whole 2600 console

    -Cycle-perfect emulation of a TV (with ability to specify different parameters)

    -Ability to set breakpoints, step-over, step-in, step-out, etc.

    -Ability to inspect and modify hardware register values in real-time

     

    -Editor portion

    -Text editing

    -Color highlighting

    -Macro/preprocessing support

    -Usual copy/cut/paste features

    -Built-in help

     

    -Compiler portion

    -Your usual compiler features

     

    Of course, some parts (like the compiler) could really be done by calling already existing applications, like DASM, so as to avoid reinventing the wheel for no reason :)

     

    For those that have been actually developing games for the 2600, what do you think of the above? Do you think it's mostly fluf which wouldn't really help with development?

     

    Anyway, looking forward to your input and comments!

    Definitely not cherry wood, thats red...

    Actually cherry wood is close to any wood color when natural and plain :) The red you probably refer to comes from a burgundy- or Merlot-color dye applied to it.

     

    Now, is that more information than what you wanted to know or what??? :D

    I need two of the manuals and booklets which were originally in the box, or just the manual.

    Thanks.

    Hello there!

     

    I got an international 2600 vader manual from 1982 (i.e. it's in English, French, Spanish & Chinese). The only issue with it is, that it's got remnants of a sheet of paper it used to be glued to on its back... Don't ask me what I was thinking when I did that back then :)

     

    I'm not sure what you mean by booklets, but I also have:

     

    -1981 Red Atari catalog "45 game program cartridges"

    -1981 illustrated Atari catalog "43 game program cartridges" (cover a bit messed up, with remnants of paper sheet on the back)

    -1982 Red Atari catalog "49 game program cartridges"

    -1982 illustrated (wizard on top) Atari international catalog (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) (a few remnants of paper sheet on the back)

    -2 1983 Atari catalog "Atari Stars"

     

    While I'm at it, I got Atari Force 2 and 3 for sale as well.

     

    If you're interested in any of them, PM me with an offer!

    Most likely a customer return because of the fact that Artillery Duel (90% of them) was programmed with a weird amount of scanlines and rolls on most TV's. They were probably getting tired of it and ended up replacing the AD with GM. I've seen many XONOX carts with 2 labels. I should know, I have recycled at least 50 of them.  :ponder:

    Hello CPUWIZ!

     

    So that Artillery Duel rolling on TV issue is common??? I was going through all my 2600 games I got, and noticed that Artillery Duel was rolling like crazy, while Chuck Norris on the other end was fine... So I was pretty bummed, thinking the game had lost it over the years and was now defective...

     

    In my for-sale list, I wrote it was broken... I don't have another TV at home to check it on, I'll try to bring it to work and see!

     

    Thanks for the info :)

    Hello 5th Ghost,

     

    I just checked on Ebay, and saw that searching for "2600 waterworld" didn't bring up your poster...

     

    If I were you I'd add "2600" to the item description or title, so it's easier for people to find.

     

    Good luck with the sale! :)

    Hello guys, I'm getting ready to come back from vacation (yeah, I'm sorry like that, still can't get away from the darn internet even when I'm on vacation!!!). So it's a bump to remind everybody of all the stuff left.

     

    I will also get back soon to whoever I promised I would!

     

    Note that Beamrider, Roc'n Rope and Infiltrate (all 3 CIB) are back on the for-sale list since I haven't heard from the potential buyer in a timely manner.

    Good to hear everything made it fine to your house :)

    Hello guys,

     

    I'm basically looking at getting rid of my video game collection... Here's what I got:

     

    EDIT: I edited the following link to better reflect what's still available (some are still awaiting confirmation). I also went through every Atari 2600 games, and found out 4 aren't working... (they're now noted in the URL).

     

    http://sivasiva21.hp.infoseek.co.jp/VideoG...VideoGames.html

     

    To tell you the truth, I'd rather sell things in package (i.e. by console), but I will entertain any reasonable offer! Not sure yet what these are worth nowadays, so again make me a reasonable offer and we'll talk!

     

    For payment, I have a Paypal account, but of course money orders and good old cash is fine as well :) If you live in the San Francisco bay area we can arrange for a pick up.

     

    Ok, enough rambling! The link above has a few pictures, which hopefully show that everything's in quite good condition (unless noted!!!).

     

    Forgot to mention... If you guys need a picture of specific games, just ask and I can add it to the page, or I can email it to you!

     

    EDIT: Cosmic Commuter tentatively sold!

    EDIT: All NGCP games (minus Sonic the Hedgehog) sold! (unit + Sonic still available).

    EDIT: All 2600 Parker Brothers sold! (except Popeye, Amidar and Frogger)

    EDIT: Both Mystique Beat'em & Eat'em sold!

    EDIT: DC Seaman and Roadrunner sold!

    EDIT: Some more sold :) Please refer to the updated list for what's left!

     

    Thanks gents for your time!
