You guys can thank UniWarS for this one... (Galaxian?)
Shawn replied to PacManPlus's topic in Atari 7800
...of 1869.... in the old country... before the wars.... -
It's a Taiwan Cooper Black cart for sure but Frogger was not title sold at Zellers. Same MFG? Sure. Sold via Zellers? Nope. Still a neat cart though.

With the results from the 2 homebrews and knowing you don't have a POKEY installed I'm sure Commando is working but you are not getting the full range of sound as it also uses POKEY.

No, these are "only for his collection" remember? For those that have not been around long enough, when McGrail says "collection" he actually means "to sell on ebay".

Why are you planning to sell a Covid Vaccine on Ebay too?

Concerto not uploading certain games at all or improperly
Shawn replied to BIGHMW's topic in Atari 7800
I hope to God you don't end up regretting that. If works out that would be best for everyone EDIT: The guy is expecting all these games to run right when in reality this thing just isn't there yet. I don't think he's capable of understanding the state of the concerto and that his specific machine will yield possibly unique results. That is gonna be hard to deal with when it comes to someone who probably should have waited for a completed device and not got in at pre-release level. -

Shawn replied to BIGHMW's topic in Atari 7800
I'm not doing anything of the sort. You shit the bed and now you have to sleep in it. You have spent your ability to play in more than a couple topics on this forum, in this case the one about the ongoings of the concerto firmware. You can't figure out how to make the best of a pre-release device that is beyond your ability to make function on your own? Too bad, it's not anyone's fault but your own that 1) You are not able to follow simple instructions\prefaced standings of a device that is still being devleoped 2) You are banned from discord about the device that probably wouldn't make you happy anyhow cause it doesn't just "make things go" . You knew up front it was in a Beta state that doesn't work with all games or all 7800 machines. WTF else did you expect? A perfect version isn't going to be handed to you on a silver plater. There is no way in hell a whole thread should be allowed just for poor ol' Ray cause you are banned from that thread, Fred isn't answering your public PM calls nor do you have a clue how to play along on your own. Enjoy the smell of those sheets, facebook tough guy. -
Existence of Centipede/Millipede prototypes for the NES?
Shawn replied to Atariboy's topic in Prototypes
Some of the FB1 games will run correctly on a real NES, others will not. IIRC, Planet Smashers was really buggy on real hardware last time I tried it moons ago. -
fcgamer's corner shop - famicom, sega md, game boy, etc
Shawn replied to fcgamer's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
That is only the second legit copy of "Gunfight 3 in 1" I have ever seen. I bought the only other copy I know of many years ago and was the one who dumped it for the public to have. If it was mine the price would be a heck of a lot more than $30. -
Atari 7800 High Score Cartridge eBay $2,001 Buy It Now
Shawn replied to MrZarniwoop's topic in Auction Central
Correct. The HSC's where hit and miss at best. It was a very poorly executed project. -
If it's cheap, sure.

Parcel Fox Delivery Trophy is also glitched. You have to deliver 20 packages to get it. I've delivered at least 25 but more likely 30 of them and my counter has been stuck at 4.

Great but that doesn't mean anything to this game. Your music is great don't get me wrong, but you totally try and take over any thread you can with it. It's really unbecoming and in very poor form. -
So they cut more corners. Don't know how this could be a surprise to anyone.

Chances are very slim they will ever see the shelves of Walmart.

Computers in grade school/high school?
Shawn replied to MHaensel's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
Apple IIe up till grade 2 or 3(??) and then my school got an Unisys Icon Network. -
I had walmart.ca's link saved to my favorites and I checked it once or twice a day for the last week until I finally got one. I really wanted the flocked version but the standard one will do until or just in case I can't get a furry one I'm sticking to my guns and only paying retail price and not a cent more for these new heman figures. The prices the scalpers are putting them out for is nothing short of sickening. Walmart has an exclusive on the flocked Panthor as well and we all know how well Walmart handles exclusives I'm guessing the first rounds of flocked panthor's will be sold at triple retail. To to this Cowboy they won't. EDIT: I was able to get every figure except for Orko at retail, in person. I ended up getting Orko online for MSRP. He was another one that was getting gouged online. I stay away from BBTS anymore as they royally fucked up my last big order and the shipping took forever as they sent from Sweden not the US location. It was for Star Wars figures from the Mando TV show and others. Pre-order stuff that went months past ETA. I don't have time for that. My blood pressure is high enough as is.

There is zero chance any of those could ever be sold as legit cartridges. Your proclamation guaranteeing them being resold as variants is unfounded. Only an absolute fool would buy these thinking they are anything but 3d printed reproductions.

Gaplus and Pac Man CE for NES
Shawn replied to Noah98's topic in Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) / Famicom
I can do better than $32.97 plus shipping and waiting for China for Galaga 3. Pacman CE is a real bitch to make as there are very few donors using the mapper needed and most use gloptop not dip package chips that can be replaced with new eproms. I personally don't know of any new homebrew pcb's that support that mapper either. -
Completed Watch Dogs 3 storyline and the couple of post campaign side missions. Great game overall. Really disappointed that the trophy system is glitched and broken for 4 of the more tedious elective quests to get trophies. I look at these trophy quests as a means for further and replay game value after beating the main storyline of games. It's fun to get them all and achieve 100 percent completion for the Platinum Trophy. I did so with both the previous two WD games but it looks like I won't be doing so for #3. If anyone is interested in which trophies are known not to trigger properly: Paste Up Graffiti (had this happen to me personally) Drinking At Every Bar Dart Games Spend $100k Clothes (had this one not trigger also) Taking the time to complete a game of darts and to also drink at all the drinking locations is a total pain in the ass as they are all over the map without any way to keep track of them in game. I was kinda happy to find out they are broken as now I won't bother seeking the ones I didn't come across organically playing the campaign.

I recall that doubling the 64k froggo games ended up making them behave like 7+1 128k bankswitching method. Dunno if that info is of any use. I'm just remembering this from working with tank command building carts of the various hacks years ago. Perhaps this is useless info, but here it is.

Concerto not uploading certain games at all or improperly
Shawn replied to BIGHMW's topic in Atari 7800
I think it will end up locked away for exactly that reason and more. This was just a poor attempt at skirting a well deserved ban. -

Shawn replied to BIGHMW's topic in Atari 7800
Perhaps it's not worth my time either but I feel sitting idle gives me a dirty feeling of some small level of culpability. As I mentioned above, I'm sure Al will finally have enough of it sooner rather than later. At least that is what I keep telling myself.
