    Oh, "taking a piss" is a British expression, look it up

     

    Heh.. taking THE piss. Not a piss!

     

    'Taking the piss' is basically just making fun of or teasing someone....sometimes used as an expression of amazement

    at someones behaviour.. (eg..someone says to a friend..'can I borrow

    £10,000 please? ...answer..'You're taking the piss!!)

    PAL Boings are definitely not as hard to find as their NTSC counterparts. Nevertheless, a PAL Boing has just sold for £50 ($80) on Ebay UK, though thats at the highest end. Two that were auctioned a few months back went for £30 each ($50), which is a fair price imo.

     

    A lot of carts have also been found without any label whatsoever, and no goo to indicate that their ever was a label.

    I really want to play Robotron on my 7800, but as most of you know it wasn't released in PAL format and the NTSC version doesn't work at all in a PAL 7800.

     

    I know people such as Thomas have been converting games to PAL for the 2600 (but leaving the framerate at 60hz, as most modern PAL TV's can handle this anyway), and I remember Tizoc converted PAL Sentinel to NTSC, but could someone have a go at Robotron if its possible, that would make me a happy man :)

     

    So... is it possible?

    I wasn't trying to be sarcastic here. I mean, I often am but not this time. Really, you can still get plenty on MIB 7800 games from O'Shea's. They're something like $5 a peice now but that sill aint bad for MIB games, if you ask me.

     

    It isn't too bad, but plenty of sellers selling cheaper on Ebay. Eg, this auction - 15 MIB games for $39.95 Buy-It-Now. Only $2.66 each!

    I'm finding that out. PAL Dark Chambers is one of the last PAL games I need to finish my collection. Got one for trade?

     

     

    I'm also looking for a PAL Dark Chambers if someone has a spare. I also want a PAL Centipede which seems to be a bit of sod to find. (Telegames UK had PAL Centipede on their website for £14.99. I phoned them up and they told me the price had gone up to £39.99!! ) :roll:

    Hmm, well that zip file works fine for me out of the box. Not wanting to sound patronising, but I assume you unzipped using folder names?

     

    Inky: It doesn't *need* to be a7800.rom. 7800.rom should be fine.

     

    See the enclosed attachment showing the folder setup.

    I had a similar problem when I used MESS on my old P166. In the end, I changed the default ROM directory from Options -> Directory, but even then, it used to be a bit flakey: work one minute, and not the next.

     

    However on this computer with Win XP I have no problems with it. I can send you the zip file of MESS061 with most of the ROMs (4.8mb), but I don't have any Activision roms.

     

    Maybe someone could also help me out with them? ;)

    Looks like a European realease due to the P on the end label..  

     

    Speaking as a european, none of my european Atari carts have this.

     

     

    Are you sure? An awful lot of Atari releases do........... - particularly the picture and silver label ones..

    If not that, then a P after the product number on the front of the cart in the small text - eg CX26123P, or a P sticker on the back of the cart (more common on red label carts)

    These Activision games with S stickers for SECAM pop up quite regularly on Ebay.fr. Theres a bunch of boxed games on Ebay fr at the moment, with 2 activision games that have "S" stickers. Also in that lot is a boxed Schtroumpfs.

     

    Also, see the finished auction

    Incidentally, this Smurf variation pops up in the UK quite a bit. There's no way that the french version is more than an uncommon cart. Its certainly not very rare. I notice Khrysun you got yours for e5.50 ;)

    I dunno.. I sort of always considered MsPacman to be a gem I owned since I friggin played it so much

     

    Indeed. I treasure my original Ms Pac Man cart, because, back in the day, for no reason whatsoever, I coloured in part of the label with a biro. Don't ask me why I did it, but now this is one of my favourite games in my collection. And its a really good game to boot!

     

    Having said that, I also treasure my PAL Qbert proto/loaner:

    Hey great job!

     

    Just to let you know that these games are available in PAL - I have them. However, I don't think the ROMs are available, so this is great for someone with a Cuttle cart or similar device.

     

    Now if someone would convert Crazy Climber (hint hint) ;)

  24. Posted

    yeah, it will - TIA chips do come in PAL and NTSC varieties, so this will be NTSC only, I'd guess.

     

    It wouldn't matter in a handheld tho would it eh? Bit like the PAL Vectrexes you often see on Ebay :)
