APX titles came in a full size generic box with a large manual. The manual is also used to display the title of the software. There are several variants of the boxes, here is just one example.

This is the video I made of my collection. I made this video today. The last video was made in 2016 and since then a lot of stuff is added to my collection 🙂 The Atari 8-bit part starts at 2:12

I have been in such a situation too, that's why I tried to help him. I will not publicly post his emails, private forum messages and I am not going to discuss this any further publicly. This is my last reply in this topic. If José wants to contact me, he has all my contact details. My post here was just a warning to Well said @popmilo 👍

I am very sorry to have to do this..... I (Rewind Games) gave José a good sum of money as a gift (75 euros at the beginning of October, the start of this thread). A few weeks later he asked me if I could send him 189.91 euros by bank, because Paypal was not releasing his money for 3 weeks (it was a new Paypal account). I sent him that amount as a loan and he promised to pay me back in a month (because Paypal would release his money). Paypal released his money but he did not pay me back. He asked me for another 50 euros a few weeks ago and I said no. So, I will let other people help him this time. I really think he is not a bad person and is struggling at the moment.

Sorry, I was not thinking about a 320kbps MP3 Those will be fine too. Most of the audio files you can find on the internet for A8 are wav-files In this topic the SDrive-Max is mentioned by a seller. The Sdrive-Max is a good choice. But do know that this is an open source project, so you can build one yourself for a lot less (instructions can be found here: http://en.devzine.pl/2019/05/08/how-to-build-sdrive-max/). If you don't want to built one, you can buy one from various sources like ebay for about 41 euros: https://www.ebay.nl/itm/SDrive-Max-Atari-8bit-800xl-600xl-65xe-130xe-Atari-XEGS-disk-and-tape-emulator/254384953015 Another (and cheap) option is the good old sio2sd. This SD-card interface is very stable, works great with other SIO devices, but it does not have the bigger touch screen like the SDrive-Max. You can buy one at Lotharek for about 21 euros: https://lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=58

Using a casette adapter in an Atari data recorder will work, but I don't think that MP3 files will load. The quality of these files is not good enough. Using flac or wav-files will work.

Great to know that my tapes are working 😁 These cassettes are on my list to dump for the a8preservation project including cas- and wav-files.

You are not the only one Bertrand

or you can buy it here: https://www.mateoproceo.com/all-products/414-atari-800-xl-label-logo-sticker-badge-brushed-aluminum-287b-.html $ 4.24 including worldwide shipping.

The 4th file is a copy of "Shooting Arcade" by Datasoft. We have never been able to proof that this game should be on this (generic) tape. That's is the reason why we have never made an entry for this one on a8preservation.com. But here it is, enjoy! arcade_shooting_adawliah.cas

Thanks for publishing the link Paul The Atari 8-bit Software Preservation Initiative has its own forum. But please do know, that the forum is intended for people involved with software preservation. So only for people who are actively dumping and/or analysing Atari 8-bit software, no chit chat The forum can be found here: https://community.a8preservation.com/

If needed, I can supply the email address of the seller in a PM.

I don't know the seller personally, but when you look at the all the different badges he offers for a lot of different systems, I think you should ask him 😀 By the way, the store lists an address from The Netherlands, but the seller is from Poland. My badge was sent from Poland.

Thanks for the compliments Marius! Much appreciated! And thank you for the feedback! I always appreciate feedback and you are absolutely right, the cartridge label is quite simple. If we (Nir and I) make another cartridge edition I will create a better label!

If people are interested, of the second batch there are still 2 pieces left.

Great! Please go to https://www.rewindgames.com/Atari-shop/XL-XE/ANG-ultimate-gold-collection or send me a PM with your address. 🙂 Edit: Thanks! Order received! it will be posted tomorrow.

A small number of the second batch are available now (sadly only 4 pieces left). More details in my previous post: There will be a third batch, but that will probably be the last

There is no color indeed. The badge is made of thick aluminium, so it is a bit thicker than the normal "sticker".

I bought this one for my 130XE: https://www.mateoproceo.com/all-products/469-atari-130xe-label-logo-sticker-badge-brushed-aluminum-162-x-10-mm-293c-.html It is a perfect fit.

I guess (as this message is targeted at non-german speaking members) this is about the article published in the newest ABBUC magazine (yes, some people can read German 🙂). In that article is explained that the "board members" of the ABBUC are stopping their activitities. At the JHV meeting (tomorrow) hopefully a new board will be elected.

Here you are Paul, the site I found: http://atariteca.blogspot.com/2017/11/atari-completan-codigo-del-mitico.html Watch the video until the last second, you will see LA Swat starting

What I found on the internet (translated) is that this game can be played during loading a cassette game.

Thank you very much! @Porkchops & Applesauce I have uploaded your files to a8preservation for analysis. They will be added soon! 🙂 @Farb is on holiday (and work) but he will be back soon Thank you very much @tane! a8preservation uses ATX dumps (made with a.o. Kryoflux drives) of disks and at the moment we only list commercial releases. I don't know if we can use your atr file (sorry!), but I will keep you posted. I know that lots of other Atari users (and probably Atarimania too ) will be very happy with this atr!

Actually it is a letterbox size (carton) box. I chose this box because it is very sturdy and it fits in an (European) letterbox so the shipping costs (for one piece) are as low as possible
