    If loose carts are fine the I think I have dupes of all the games you have on your list. And all of them are PAL to.

     

    I might have some boxed ones to.

     

    PM me if your interested.

    I realise that it could be fixed quite easily at the moment, but assuming we have 900 carts when it's done, we then have 900*(number of users) fields. This isn't a problem when there's only 10 people, but what about when there's more? It seems very wasteful when the actual table will only be about 1% full.

     

    If I can find a way of doing a dynamic list of users owning a cart for each game, then that overhead is foregone, so that's what I want to do.

     

    No no no, your thinking about this the wrong way, add a new table, a link table.

    The new table has 2 fields userid & gameid.

     

    So when user id 11 owns cart id 539 just insert 11, 539 and so on.

    So for each game you can easily find how many owns it with a select count(*) from linktablename where gameid=539

     

    Or to list my gameid's just select gameid from linktabelname where userid=11

     

    Now you can also use (inner, left, right, outer) joins, group by and things like that so avoid quering the database for each game when presenting the list but thats overkill for now (or?).

    saw this:

    Furthermore I have still 'official' first European Atari 2600Jr, Atari Sunnyvale handed over to the director of Atari Germany. Certificate completely framed of the handing-over and autographs of Mr. Ollman comes with paddles, (former director Atari Germany). Unique forager item. Will be sold for 100 euro.

     

    I remeber not bidding on this when it was on eBay, really kicking myself now. However I did pick up the 2 carts Ollman sold, the first Atari PAL carts in Europe. Both have a strage yellow label. Really cool.

    Hi!

     

    I have a few hardware questions about PAL/NTSC and GTIA & ANTIC.

    Basicly I have a wild project in mind, I would like to PALify my NTSC 5200 since the 5200 was never released as PAL. Im sure there might be some problems with the software but for now im focusing on the hardware.

     

    1: I assume there are several versions of the GTIA which supports different videomodes, right?

     

    2: Does each GTIA version (do they have names?) come in a PAL and a NTSC version?

     

    3: Are there different ANTICs for PAL and NTSC?

     

    4: Which GTIA is in the 5200 and which A8 computers uses the same GTIA?

    I'll gladly help you off any excess stuff then ;)

     

    PM me if you have something rare for the 2600 (must be PAL).

     

    Have you got more info on the proto? I can't see it on the Vectrex Game Database....

     

    I belive I dumped it and posted a link to it on rec.games.vectrex a few years ago. It has a hand written label that says "Art Cart". Inside is just an eprom no extra Ram like Artmaster.

     

    And it was quite expensive :D

    Ok, då är vi iaf. 4st. Tror vi kan ränkna bort liquid_sky :)

    Rikard från Kumla tror jag hänger här ibland också.

     

    5st alltså, får se om det kommer några fler. 5 är lite för få för att arrangera en träff.
