[Updated to V18 UNO Cart]

Updated from v16 to v18 with no problems, The update took only a few seconds and now all the Supercharger games work. Thanks!!

 

Sorry, posted in wrong place! 

[Yes, but will it play on an unmodded Supercharger?]

This is my current Supercharger “playlist” in mp3 format.  (99 tracks to make an audio cd)

 

They were converted with this command line:

 

makewav -d3 -f0 -h2 -k2 -ts g.bin   (where g is name of game)

 

Merry Christmas!

[Madhouse for the C64]

 

I wrote about a dozen super simple games for the 64 during the mid eighties.  This is one of them.  It can also be played on the c64 mini.

Happy Holidays!

[Dungeons of Death for C64 - Seeking information]

Another Aardvark Adventure, DEATHSHIP 64.  I couldn't  locate the instructions for this one. 

 

There is a map and solution available online.

[Dungeons of Death for C64 - Seeking information]

I located the backups for the manual and other materials and re-scanned everything!

It is now a pdf with MUCH clearer scans.

 

Also, please accept the protection of my two most powerful characters (located in the pdf) while you build your own characters experience.

 

This great game is best enjoyed with 4 REAL players (and players choice of adult beverage).

@original_gamer what are the steps you went through to make the wav?  have a few tapes i want to try.  tia

I had absolutely no success making a wav file and running it through audiotap, even though I have a small home recording studio.  

 

I finally used wav-prg 4.2.1 with these settings:

 

I used a simple stereo to stereo cable , with one end plugged into the line-in on a Win7 pc and the other end in the headphone out jack on a jvc tdw309 cassette deck. The line=out on the jvc didn't have enough signal.  (I also tried two other tape decks before the jvc worked)

 

I adjusted the line-in on the pc to max under control panel sound / record.   

 

hope this helps!

 

 

 

[Dungeons of Death for C64 - Seeking information]

Enjoy!

 

After several attempts (with 3 different tape decks) I can play Dungeons of Death on the C64mini !

 

The player codes for all my old characters loaded with no problems.

Thanks.

 

I find the loading instructions particularly interesting. Those cover TRS-80 CoCo on tape and disk, VIC-20 and C64 on tape and disk, TI-99/4A on tape, Sinclair (TS-1000, TS-1500 ??) on tape, TRS-80 MC-10 (!) on tape, IBM PC on disk. Would that mean this particular game was available on all those formats, or were those generic loading instructions for every game they published? I saw on GTW that versions for TRS-80 CoCo and VIC-20 are known to exist, plus now this one for the C64.

I believe the loading instructions and the Aardvark Adventures page are both generic.

 

 

[Dungeons of Death for C64 - Seeking information]

Here are scans of all the printed material I received, there was no box. 

I'll convert to wav and see what happens.

 

Thanks for the info!

[Dungeons of Death for C64 - Seeking information]

Ahoy!! (couldn't resist!)    I found a box of 64 stuff  I had forgotten about in a closet, despite letting my c64 collection go back in the 90's. The only info on the web says this game doesn't exist.   I remember ordering DOD from a magazine ad and that it arrived with no box.  

 

So, my question, is this as rare as it appears?

 

And, can I play this on my C64mini?  (the vic20 version is on preorder)

 

TIA

Ron

[Lock-On 2600]

Thanks for making this available.  I received mine over the weekend.  I've tried it with a supercharger, uno and harmony carts as well as several activision games.  Flawless!! 

[Everything must go!]

PM sent.

[Legends Flashback FIRMWARE for adding games to SD card]

Yes, TIA. BTW thanks for all your work on these flashbacks.

 

[Phaser Patrol High Score]

Phaser Patrol is my favorite 1st person space shooter.    The graphics, replay value, and complexity of this Starpath game when it came out in '82 were VERY impressive.  I have only managed to attain top ranking once.  This is BITD, so real hardware, screenshot captured on 35mm film.  

I usually run with my shields down (better visibility/energy savings)(you cannot do this on a 7800 or a AFB9/X)

On this particular occasion I got lucky. Several uncleared sectors were empty (energy savings) !

 

Also, I don't believe in the no-win scenario and I don't like to lose! 

 

[original_gamer]

You are very welcome!

[Lock-On 2600]

Great idea!  I'll take one, when available.

[Atari Flashback X Custom Firmware for USB roms and boxart]

I had similar challenges when updating my FBX.  I lost all games and the system would not boot. I went back to this firmware to restore the games.  I then updated to the official firmware and then the cfw.  I had to open the unit and use the android tool for all these updates.

Hope this helps.

The only retailer in my locality to carry them was Priceless IGA Grocery. Here is a pic from a few weeks ago when they were put on clearance.  I always find it fascinating to observe the (short) retail lifespan of a product.

I searched this forum for Mappy and apparently it doesn't work on the Flashback X. I can confirm it's also not functional here on the older Flashback 9. Super Cobra Arcade is another no-go. 

 

Not too hopeful of any answers, but if someone has a tip to soften the long load and has an idea about the audio issues (Phoenix just went completely silent on me for instance), I'd appreciate it. 

I upgraded to a class 10 sd card on my FB9 and the sound problems have virtually disappeared.  I switched to a usb 3.0 drive on my FBX and have much improvement there also.  The FB9 has the faster boot. 

[Original Games Updated With Menus]

A great idea with excellent implementation! This really puts a new coat of paint on some of the classics.

I’d love to see Missile Command and Berzerk get this treatment. Thanks!

 

(The earliest menu I am aware of on the 2600 was Commie Mutants)

     I wonder what the difference there is, and why are Manufacture's are different.  Also mine came with a HDMI cable did yours?

 

      Thanks!

 

           

Mine did NOT come with an hdmi cable.

I bought a second unit a week after the first. (already marked down)

After reading your post I opened it and my second unit has the same info sticker as yours and the sd option functions.

Here is the sd card I am using. (Gamestop)

I formatted it to fat32 using my windows 7 x64 machine.

I have had better luck with the older (smaller capacity) cards, 8 gb and smaller.

Incidentally, you posted in another thread that you saw the 2019 Atari Flashback Portable at retail earlier this week.  Can you get more specific in terms of which day?  To my knowledge, you're the first person to see the new portable available in a store, so I'd like to use your date in the system's "first known date publicly available" field in my records.
