I just bought a 128 in 1 USB Multicart and was wondering if there is one big zip file with all the 8-bit conversions. I have found some of them but not all. Thanks

I think Travi is coming to Joplin,Mo USA. Home of a Bonnie and Clyde shoot out. More details to come.

I fixed it it was a bent pin on port 1 that was causing the problem. Now I have a working 4-port a 2-port and a Trak-Ball controller.
-
On port 1 the fire buttons work but it moves to the right on port 2 the fire buttons dont work and it moves to the right I havent tested port 3 or 4.

Well I got the Trak-Ball working right. I love playing Missile Command with it. But the 4-port looks like it needs the 4052's replaced. I tried adjusting the pot on the system with no luck. I had had to replace the 4052's on my 2-port and I have a couple of extra chips laying around.

Found a 4-port 5200 with 7 games for $10 at one sale. Found a 5200 Trak-ball for $1 at another sale. -
I found a 4-port at a yard sale with the switch box, power supply, 2 controllers, and 7 games for $10. The system works the only problem is player sprite moves constantly to the right no matter what controller is plugged in. I thin I read somewhere that this can be fixed by a pot adjustment inside the system. The controllers are crap of course the fire buttons dont work but that can be fixed. Tried the system with one of my good controllers and it moves constantly to the right but the fire buttons work. The games are Super Breakout Pac Man Defender Pole Position Missile Command Galaxian Centipede All of the with their overlays. Also found a Trak-Ball at another sale for $1 the only problem is the fire buttons dont work. Are these like the standard controller buttons? Can the be fixed the same way? All in all it was a great start to my weekend

What are some good Game Cube games. I just picked up Rouge Squadron:Rebel Strike. Seems good so far. Need some ideas.

I agree the madcatz arcade joystick is horrible dont buy it. If I had wanted a analog joystick I would have stuck with the 360 controller.

Stunts looks alot like Hard Drivin'. A great arcade game by Atari Games. http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8072 The track editor looks similar to the track editor on the Genesis version. -
What was the very first game you got for your 2600?
edweird13 replied to tremoloman2006's topic in Atari 2600
For Christmas I got a light sixer with Combat and for gifts I got Space Invaders, Adventure, Space War, Football, and Dragster. -
I was having similar problems to what you are having. I could not get the top fire buttons to work at all. Replacing the 4052's fixed it. I added sockets for the chips so they could easily be replaced in the future.

Well with the shortage of space the only ones I have hooked up are the 5200, Dreamcast, and Wii.

The kids found our super secret hiding place . Kind of takes the fun out of suprising them with a Wii. GRRR -

The store I bought it from is not a Corparate store. I think thats why the price was higher. I wil look at the when I get home.

Radio Shack is selling the Wii? For $300? Did that include anything besides the console? ..Al No just the basic package. They are really hard to get in my area. My wife was at Sam goody in the mall asking about it. Aguy was standing beside her and said he was wondwring too. So when my wife left the store this guy followed her out. Then he motioned to my wife and said he was an employee of Radio Shack and doing "reconnaissance", which is right around the corner from Sam Goody, and that they were getting 2 today. So my waited and got one. The only thing I dot like about the Wii is thw WIFI connection. I hate WIFI and dont have a WAP. So I will probably have to get the USB LAN adapter.
