    Just downloaded the new update for Pinball FX. You can now change the orientation to VERTICAL mode and play the tables as they really are! I have a couple extra 32" lcd tvs and a second XBOX One and now I can play the tables just like they're suppose to be! Looks and plays great! I can finally see the upper part of the tables which makes it better for certain shots! Flippers seem to respond better with this new update too! Just go into settings and you can set it!

    I was wondering if it is easy to hack a wired Xbox One controller? I want to make my own flipper controls using a hacked Atari Pinball dedicated unit.

    Downloaded a "new" update last night, still isn't fixed! One computer player played a color-change card and set it to yellow and the next computer player played a color-change card on top of that and set the color to yellow!

    Remember Glenn The 5200 Man? He converted a lot of 5200 titles to the 8-bits!

    Watching Real Genius on AMC, commercials outrun the movie! Channels like this ruin cable tv!

      Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

       

      Or,  another favorite line...Mitch : What are you doing? Chris Knight : Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

      I want to see more of you around the lab.

       

      Fine, I'll gain weight.

      Why is that toy on your head?

       

      Because if I wear it any place else, it chafes.

    Egg Nog makes the best French Toast!

      Use a baguette and cut it on a bias, about 1" thick.

      Egg nog with cinnamon whiskey makes me good and toasty too.

      I get the pumpkin spice or the vanilla spice versions! Also some Texas Toast, thicker bread.

    Someone posted a background/pic hack for the background in Space Invaders. Using the 2600 cover artwork:

    How about putting in a controller in the 2nd, player 2 jack, and see if any keys on it do anything?

    I was watching the bowling derby on tv where you have to get as many strikes as you can in 200 seconds. Can this be hacked to do that?

    I would check the 5 volt supply and make sure it's putting out the correct voltage!

    I put a s-video jack on my 5200, makes it easy to hook up! I also put a s-video jack on the back of my Commodore 1702 monitor for the same purpose!
  14. SoundGammon
    You would have to cut off one connector and it would be s-video only unless you ran the composite in next to it & audio!

    This is the best s-video cable: On E-bay for $9.99 each!
  16. SoundGammon
    The best s-video cables a separately shielded cables! One around the video & one around the chroma! I had those vertical lines on my 5200 and when I tried a separated shielded wires in the same cable, it went away!

    About Donkey Kong on the 2600, Ray Kasser, Atari's CEO at the time, he said NO to Nintendo to license Donkey Kong BEFORE Coleco got the rights! He was grilled by his boss at Warner Communications as to why he said no. He replied, "They, (Nintendo), want $2.00 for every copy we sell!" His boss said: "We still would have made money!" Atari messed up with marketing the 5200. Pack-in game: Super Breakout vs. Donkey Kong on the Colecovision? They should have packed in Galaxian. It would have been a 5200 exclusive. Also, if they brought out new games BEFORE the 2600 versions, it would have made it more in demand to play the games. Now we go to the Tramiels Atari, they put 3 systems on the retail shelves at the same time! 2600jr, the 7800 and the XEGS! I can hear how this bright idea went around a meeting: "Hey, I got an idea, let's COMPETE with ourselves!"

    There's the Starplex controller that can be used in port 2 for Stargate/Defender II!

    When the computer plays a wild card to change the color that is being played, it will pick the same color being played! Last game I played, I played a wild card and changed the color to yellow. The computer immediately play another wild card and picked...yellow! Not a way a person would play it. I keep a wild card as long as possible and maybe go out with it. The computer should have played a yellow card instead. A lot of times the computer will play a wild card and pick the color that is being played. I tried contacting UBISOFT, but they make it hard to make a suggestion.

    There's an 8-bit version too and I wonder if it has the same bug?

    My Halloween costume:  I go naked on a pair of roller skates and go as a "pull-toy"! Last year it was cold, but I stuck it out!

    Can these be played on a Neo-Geo arcade setup? I have a 4-slot board unit.

    If the government shuts down does that mean we stop paying taxes? No sense betting on a dead horse!

      Eh...I'm sure a smaller government will charge you a tax to an extent. If you want no taxes for your own micronation, good luck running it. lol
