PAL Antic in NTSC 800xl = black amd white picture
Almost Rice replied to thgill's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
How many displays have you tested it on? Just the JVC? did the JVC have PAL/NTSC selection or did it autochoose? If it autochose it is seeing a 50Hz signal and choosing PAL color decoding and your NTSC 800xl is sending NTSC color with 50Hz signal(real oddball signal). Check the video output to another monitor. Solutions: get a dumb NTSC monitor that can adjust to 50Hz or one that you can manually select PAL/NTSC. or get a PAL XL/XE for that JVC monitor. -

Posting prices and changing them to best offer in PM is not good business practice. -

Not too rare, I have an NES and 3 atari ones. I was going to mod one for 7800 use. -

Hey Bob, Check with jaybird3rd for carts. He has been selling a lot of pokey chips on board. They are probably Ball Blazer carts. I grabbed some but only the chips with a small part of the board.

I'll take it Ken. I am too lazy to make that myself. I'll take care of the shipping.

for Media Mail. At that price, I would have expected Priority mail envelope at the least.

Sending cash to Italy through their postal system is brave. I have lost half my packages to Italy. Brazil is the only worse country and I require all shipments there to be EMS. I just can't seperate Italy from the rest of Europe shipping at this time.

Sorry, I missed the your location. Should have guessed from your dimensions in cm and weight in Kg. If you are close enough you could cross the border.

If the value of the item is low enough, just use 1st class international and hope it gets there for $4. If it is a rarer and expensive item, you will have to judge if it is worth the risk without tracking. $41 sounds like some Priority flat rate box. Express mail is 29.99 and 27.55 if you print it online. I think the people at the front desk have incentive to gouge you. I have never seen them only quote high prices like this. I used the USPS.com online calculator with 4oz as the weight to find the prices.

I had one shipment to Poland and 2 years ago and had no problems. I shipped it First Class International with USPS.

I have done that before and it also made the picture B/W. I know now to use only the cable I intend on using.

Y-adapter to plug two controllers in the same port
Almost Rice replied to Rex Dart's topic in Atari 2600
That would be me with the y splitter from B&C below. You can play 7800 Centipede TB version in Co-Op mode by yourself with this cable. Lots of fun with double the firepower. Found the original thread I started, but it seemed no one really cared. -
Original Flashback2 Sighting... $24.99
Almost Rice replied to crsdawg's topic in AtGames Flashback and Portable Consoles
that will be difficult to say as I bought it through an import service. that buys from amazon I had a quick look again amazon does not have stock at the moment. but some sellers are offering eg BESTSKU etc what we can take away from this is that the seller stock on amazon is tainted. also what is really interesting to me is that I can find no glitching on the unit except for the normal reported flashback 2 glitches eg. yar's return If you make a AtoZ complaint to Amazon, the seller would lose and you get your money back. Amazon does not take kindly to fakes being sold on their website. -
Between my 1701, 1702 & 1084 I think there's not going to be a problem displaying it.. I do agree that having an NTSC 800 would be the best solution though, it's just a question of finding one at the right price with shipping not being insane.. For now I'll take the CPU board change option as an interim solution, and just keep an eye out for NTSC 800s.. On a older monitor, it is more likely you manually select NTSC or PAL so it is not a problem. Newer LCD monitors that I have used do no like the NTSC systems with PAL ANTIC or PAL systems with NTSC ANTIC, because they autodetect PAL or NTSC if the signal is 50Hz or 60Hz. I get either a rolling picture or at best a black and white picture.

Anyone got a use for free 5.25" 1.2M floppies?
Almost Rice replied to Bryan's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
Hi Bryan, How much to 77084. I have a 1.2M drive that has not been used in HD because I never could find media for it. -
I agree with Thorsten. There are additional reasons. Modern monitors are not so forgiving with these mixed machines. Most will not display the video and at best a B/W screen. It is better to get an NTSC machine if you want NTSC and a PAL machine for PAL. I learned it the hard way and bought PAL systems to use if I want to run PAL only software.

Games done better on the "technically inferior" console
Almost Rice replied to mbd30's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I agree. I like playing it more than the 7800 version, even though the 7800 version looks better.
