I'm sorry, I read that several times and the best I could come up with was "Huh?" Do people have to turn in old Thrust carts to be able to buy Thrust Platinum?
-
Damn you. I guess not having time to eat is one way to lose weight... (/me holds sealed envelope up to head) The number of joysticks that are going to die in pursuit of this goal. (/me opens envelope, reads from it) 42.

Regret selling/giving away your childhood Atari?
krisjohn replied to AtariGator's topic in Atari 2600
I never had a brilliant 2600 collection, so I regret selling my CDTV much more. I also had quite a number of the original larger Transformers which I regret selling a little, but the money I got from them undoubtedly went towards my computer interests, so it's hard to feel too sorry for myself. -
Time Pilot, Standard label

First Atari 2600 game you bought with earned money
krisjohn replied to Random Terrain's topic in Atari 2600
Double Dragon -- which is why it's #1 on my personal list of most disappointing games. -
The Official "Thrift finds" Thread
krisjohn replied to Happy_Dude's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Very minor finds (bad weather). Just a Codemasters USB Sampler for the PS2 (for their music composition title, but should be fun with my Linux Kit) and a modem for the Apple Newton, not that I have one anymore. Total cost: A$4. -
That's two requests But seriously, I always intended to include the original credits, though I specifically intend to not use the art that was created for the packaging. At the moment there looks like there will be distinctly two different versions. The CDA version is a direct copy of the original CCU, just on 8cm discs with new art. The MP3 version is all new with the only thing from the original being the name. It's going slowly, so hopefully anyone who wants to comment should have ample time before any sort of release.

The Official "Thrift finds" Thread
krisjohn replied to Happy_Dude's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I picked up a bag of mostly common Atari 2600 carts for A$2. In there was this pair of carts. Unfortunately no slick in the box or manual in the bag. They're not in AA's guide --anyone seen this variant before? -
Can be. As a person trying to sort out some nice, interesting packaging for a project at the moment, there's more work to it than you might think.

Respectively: No, good idea and thanks! Just an update: Alpha versions of MP3 edition will be available after I've determined permission for each of the homebrew titles and sorted out SC compatibility. Alpha versions will be cheap and will be used as much for testing payment and shipping as they will for testing the games. Beta versions will be available once I've sorted out an attractive case. I still can't find anyone that can supply me with a DVD-style case for 8cm media. Hopefully version 1.0 will be available some time before the heat death of the universe.

Or, for the MP3 version, simply have a Supercharger folder with all the 4k ROMs encoded for it -- there's plenty of room. Anyone got exact details on what can and can't be made to run on a SC just so I make the most of that directory? While we're talking inclusions, none of the SC games on Stella Gets a New Brain will be included (I forget what the reason is, but I'm fairly sure it's a good one) and Skeleton and Skeleton+ won't be included by request of the author. Does anyone else know of any games that should not be included?

Thanks, The TV format conversions are cool, they're definately going in the compilation.
-
I have a PAL TV that will always roll on an NTSC game, so I can check, but it would be cool to know what system the hacks are for...
-
Ditto Crystal Castles.
-
Looks like centipede also has the same problem. And Boing! and Boxing don't appear to have ROMs even though I have them in my collection (and Boxing is in the 32-in-1 if I recall). Unfortunately I only have the MP3 encoded versions with me at the moment. I bet you can't guess what I'm doing at the moment...
-
Cool, thanks. Looks like Battlezone has the same problem...
-
http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html...areLabelID=1042 It looks like the PAL and NTSC versions of 2600 Asteroids point to the same ROM file. Are there two different versions?
-
I think that 4k ROMs can be loaded onto a modified supercharger, but I'm not sure. Try here http://home.earthlink.net/~resqsoft/wtw.htm for an answer. Also, MP3s or CD audio, they're still audio files to be played at a CC or SS, the question is whether or not you have a standalone MP3 CD player...

Replacement cases for GameCube games?
krisjohn replied to krisjohn's topic in Modern Console Discussion
Main thread is here now: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11601 -
For anyone wondering what I'm referring to when I talk of the case that the GBA player boot disc comes in, here is a pic. (I started a thread asking for help here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30218) Ideally I'd like a version of this case that accepts two or three discs, or a full-sized DVD style case that can cope with all six discs of the audio version of the CCU Jnr. So if anyone has any clues, I'd be most interested.
-
I've played about 3 minutes of Auto Modellista on my PS2 (picked it up half price last weekend) and it seems nice. The GameCube version is probably even better.
-
I'm probably somewhere around 100, maybe slightly less. I know it's at least 70. It's growing at a nice pace too, possibly an average of about one new title every week or two, over the last twelve months (and that's without using eBay).
-
Quite possibly. If anyone feels like making MP3s from any of the ROMs on AA, particularly any ROMs new in the last 12 months or so, with full tag details, PM me and I'll give you an address you can email to. Feel free to use this thread to announce titles you intend to work on so no one duplicates your work needlessly... No promises that a product will come out at the other end, but if it does anyone that emails me usable files will be in the credits. The only rules I can think of is that the files must be 44.1kHz, 128k/s mono and the file name should be start with the game name then any other information that identifies the varient should be in successive square brackets. Eg: Escape from Blah [sears][PAL].mp3. Oh, and no Starpath games that were on Stella Gets a New Brain. Cool. Feels like a real project again.

"valve"?

It's not an either/or thing, you don't have to only pick one.
