Oh, video... Thanks - just want to use games.
-
I've not long recieved my cart but not used it - can I just put the cart files on? I've not seen anything in the documentation that says you have to do something else first.

I got told NTSC games could be played on a PAL system..

US/Canadian Software on UK machine
zeropolis79 replied to zeropolis79's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Thanks all! -
I've just got an AVG cart and am keen to put software on it but looking at the cart files on Atari Mania, most of them have US or Canadian flags on. Can I run software for US/Canadian machines on my UK machine Many thanks!
-
How much would it cost? Thanks
-
Thanks - looks a good deal.. Same price as a similar device for the Spectrum.. Will need to wait a few weeks though due to current expenses.. (and will ask about the cable too)
-
Thanks all - got to see how much the cart will cost first.. Tapes - I only have four tapes.. I've been using virtual tapes. and I don't have a disc drive.. I plan to get an S-Disc Max for discs however..
-
Thanks - to be honest, when it comes to Atari - I wouldn't know an SIO cable to something else people says with Atari.. I'm more an Amstrad CPC expert..
-
Thanks - I wouldn't have the confidence to try and put one together.. (and my hands are too unstable to use a soldering iron)
-
Is there anyone who is selling this ready made? Can it run homebrew carts like Space Harrier? (I've got my 65XE upgraded to run 128k stuff) Many thanks in advance.

Unicorns season: Prince of Persia for the A8!
zeropolis79 replied to rensoup's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
The CPC uses a Z80 processor but despite it's pros, it's not very good when it comes to scrolling in some case. But you can get some good stuff on it. For instance, it's got a powerful word processor suite on a ROM expansion. What didn't help the CPC was when companies had the programmers do shoddy ports from the Spectrum (although some did do good ports from the Spectrum for technical reasons). -
Unicorns season: Prince of Persia for the A8!
zeropolis79 replied to rensoup's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Looking very good.. I'm glad I opted for the memory upgrade for my 65XE while it's being fixed. What SD card floppy drive simulator would this work on? As for the CPC - the recent port of Pinball Dreams shows what it can do but I think Prince of Persia on it is quite good but I agree, it could be better. The animation is among the best the CPC has to offer. -
Way over my budget but thanks.
-
I'm not entirely sure what to offer - I don't have a lot of knowledge involving Atari prices
-
Yes, I'm in the UK.. (I couldn't find anyting to say where you were)
-
I got a 65XE for £50 off eBay a month ago but it died after two weeks. The expert I sent it to said it's a lost cause, hence needing luck with finding another one at a reasonable price..
-
Can you send me some good luck please?
-
Not sure what to offer but sort of money would you like for it?
-
A month ago, I was lucky to get an Atari 65XE from eBay - it got delivered to me and it worked great (only I had no games).. However, two weeks later it stops working and I send it off to an Atari expert to bef fixed but from he says, the whole thing is practically unfixable so I'm £50 out. So I'm looking to buy a 65XE base unit without power supply or tape player as I have both for a reasonable price please as I can't afford high prices for a replacement. Many thanks in advance.
