Mr Proper is only a Demo btw. Impressive visuals though.

Might be some insight here above btw

So do you not have a standard joystick (DB9, Atari compatible)? Loads available on ebay of all shapes and sizes.

Iirc it runs on a standard joystick as well on 128k machines, but you'd have only fire and movement with your standard joystick. I also assume you know about the two Doom engines on A8?

Plus VBXE Popeye, Gacek, Heartlight, Commando, Quadrillion, etc

Indeed. That particular demo is from Globe a few years back. Would be great to see it as that basis of a game, which may well be the case...who knows. (Globe also bought us the excellent fully fledged FPS game Final Assault) BTW here is the aforementioned 128k ray casting engine in motion, where this video doesn't show the run mode, which is fast and just shows you what the A8 is capable of in terms of 3d.

Sure. So SNACK is SNES only, corded. SNACK aso supports games that have been coded for it, with multi button functionality. Check out this proof of concept 128k ray casting engine, which supports most of the buttons on a snes controller. So you can cycling through weapons, call up maps, straf, run, fire, etc etc.

Love it!!!

Don't know much about Sega and adapters but you have to be mindful of the voltage pin(s) as different on the Atari, so things can get fried. There are existing threads on the subject if I recall. Personally I'd recommend the established SNACK adapter, which allows snes controllers to be used. See the link in my signature.

Thanks. I think I am gonna abandon the idea tbh. Might keep it at stock for now. Thanks all for the input.

Ah, gothcha. So a quick search yields this. I could get two of these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152329198663?

Ah yours is a stock ntsc, fair enough All I meant was rf is inferior to av composite, which in turn is inferior to svideo. However, without modding and or one of the many video upgrades, you currently only have and rf output. The difference between rf and svideo on these is night and day. Either way, glad you are happy with your setup.. The 600xl is one of my fav a8s.

Judy looking on Ebay UK, trying to find the 4 x 44256 ram chips is proving difficult.

Bit of a bump here. Do you perchance have a link to the instructions for this for the 320k chip upgrade on 65xe boards with the 4 x 18pin ram spaces?

Don't worry, we've all been there before.
