the original power supplies can and do fail.

 

Does the screen change at all when you try and power it on? Flicker?....solid black screen? Random color bars?

 

If it just stays at static, make sure you have our channel selector in the right position. But first you verify that your power adapter is working correctly. 

 

 

Hi, thanks for the suggestion and sorry for my late reply.
Absolutely nothing when I power it on. I have verified the channel selector is in the right position by using the same cable and channel connector with my APF m1000 and getting it to work. 
It MUST be the power box. I think I a spare is at my parents house, I will try that before looking at other possibilities.

For me: I'd like to get a CD-I player in working order.  If you already hacked the chip and put in a new battery, great.  Ideally, I'd like one of the more modern handheld/portable models with digital video built in but I am open to other options.

 

2nd. ACTION MAX - I'd like to contribute my 4 out of 5 STILL SEALED games to make a REDUMP level of excellence quality transfer for the community. The one game I'd need someone sell me or contribute to said project is Blue Thunder. I've had some communication from one holder of a still sealed copy but currently lost touch with them.  I'd mail my still sealed copies in a heartbeat to someone like Bob at RETRORGB if it meant the community forever would gain from my collection. Please someone help me acquire this final title in sealed form. Even without a RETRORGB, I at least know of a pro I've worked with that could produce professional 'rips' of my vhs tapes. 

Hi Seastalker. I'm going to send you a message to see if my CD-i could fit your needs.

[Vader stopped working, common causes?]

Hey folks,

I was trying to play a game on my Vader the other week and couldn't get it to work on some modern TVs. Figured it was the connections and took it to try on my roommate's TV that I know it works on, nothing. 

I hooked up my APF Mp1000 with the same connector box and coax cable and it worked first try, so it has to be either the Atari or the Atari's power cable. 

Are there any known issues where a power cable might just stop working? Otherwise I moved very recently and am worried the atari might have taken a hit somewhere, although I thought since they were solid state that seemed unlikely. 

Any suggestions? What should I try? If I cant get it working I might just sell the Vader and pick up a 7200 in its place.

You tempt me, I used to play both of those so much, but I have no CDi and no place for one.  I wonder if there's a PC emulator that runs real discs solidly?

Not one that I know of. I know there's some that run ROMs of the games but they're all pretty sloppy.

Yeah its definitely the most common, blackjack is next. But these come in waves so its probably just a matter of who the new collectors are.

Maybe its time to relist my spares lol

I'm missing a few titles so let me know if you do list your spares!

Hangman being by far the most common title is pretty steep at $80.

I was under the impression that Blackjack was the most common, but I could be wrong. So far I've been selling Hangman titles in days when listing in the high double digits when and I've only sold one Blackjack total for $45. 

[NIB rare APF Mp1000 Games!]

I have a few new in box copies of a few APF MP1000 games (NIB even though they are 40+ years old!) 

I have Blackjack, which the box is a bit beat up for. Asking $45. (I also have another NIB copy of this for the same price on ebay.)

I also have a very nice condition copy of Hangman/ Tic Tac Toe/ Doodle, which is NIB and I am asking $80 for.

Here are some photos:

Blackjack is the first 4, hangman is the last 3 photos. 

Here's my feedback thread! 

 

[Nintendo CD-i Games!]

Hello Atari Age people!

I am looking to get rid of my three Nintendo games for the Phillips CD-i. 

I have Hotel Mario, Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon.

I'm looking for $165 each for the Zelda games and $60 for Hotel Mario. 

I've tested these and they work!

I know I'm new to the community, but I do have a feedback thread for another positive CD-i deal I did.

Here's what I have for photos:

Jack is a great and honest guy to make deals with! We did a swap on Ebay before he recommended me to come over to AA and then we worked out a deal for a very rare CD-i title. We found terms that worked for both of us and it went off without a hitch, and he was kind enough to pay for insurance on the shipped package. 

As others have mentioned Jack is very welcoming and conversational! I hope to sell to him again.

Cole joined up here at my request so we could work a deal on an extremely rare title. He has proven to be a trustworthy seller who I look forward to buying from in the future. His willingness to accommodate a buyer is as good as can be expected, his communication and honesty are unimpeachable, and he can definitely be relied upon to fulfill deals for top-rarity games. I heartily recommend him to the AtariAge community and am completely happy with my purchase from him!

Thanks for the kind words Jack!  I look forward to selling some other rare titles here.
