    Berzerk enhanced from Atari- worth it? Yay or nay? Voice added - yes, diagonal firing robots, yes…any other enhancements? I’m seriously on the fence. At the end of the day except for 2 (tweaks), dropping $40 bucks on a game I own, have a sd card With the original and a few

    dozen hacks already…I’m almost just buying it to “collect” is then gameplay worth a new copy?

      Me personally...the added voice/diagonal firing and a slightly higher resolution. Only if you are a Berzerk fan. The speech isn't that clear.

      Yup, worth it. I got a copy for myself and recently drop-shipped a copy as part of a trade and both of us love it.

      Thanks for your input fellow Atarians. I pulled the trigger! The 15% didn't work :(  But that's fine. I have ten games coming from the AA store, so Berzerk (and Mr Run N Jump) make an even dozen coming! I see an all Atari day or weekend in the near future!

    Wow someone is REALLY going hard with selling the last chance games on ebay $500 bucks in some cases.  Eff'd up.

      But you know that some people will pay it.  Baby Pacman 7800, $310 US plus $40 shipping.

      https://www.ebay.com/itm/335240319005

       

      There were 34 bids starting at $60, so there are a lot of folks out there willing to put in a bid at these inflated prices.

      The baby pac-man one I hadn't noticed it was already just bid that high, I think that was a different seller than the others. I've seen them with starting bids @ $3-500 bucks. This game can still be  bought from a seller on etsy for $30 bucks.

    Hey AA! What’s a good Pandora/Mini Emulator console that’s worthwhile and easy to use? Amazon has a ton but most seem too good to be true. I mostly want arcade games, older system emulators are a + but not necessary.

      Cool. They’re pretty much plug n play right?

    3. BydoEmpire

      BydoEmpire

      Yep, plug and play. There are a million variations, this one is similar to mine; https://www.amazon.com/Kinhank-Console-Android-Compatible-Emulators-Controllers/dp/B0C68MWMGK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=PLU3LNSAOIPD&keywords=kinhank+super+console&qid=1697021545&sprefix=kinhank%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-4&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18630bbb-fcbb-42f8-9767-857e17e03685

       

      Another good thing is that all the games are stored on an SD card, so you can add games that are missing, or copy them to your PC if you want to play on an emu there.

      One negative about the kinhank, it takes about 30 seconds to boot, give or take. It's not that big a deal to me but some may find it annoying.

      Yea but I’m getting AA emails though. And I can sign in on my phone but not my laptop.

      My email works fine for the store but not the forums. It forced me to change it.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Maybe something's changed then.  At first I wondered if I went to move an AA email into a folder and accidentally hit "Mark as Spam" or something,  or if Yahoo changed something on their end (Like their Spam filter got more aggressive).  No idea,... but it did happen to me.

      Well I'm sure it'll pan out. As long as I can get into the AA store before tomorrow I'm good.

      Very soon now, I am rendering all the images I need for the store for the new 2022 games and the 2021 games as well (so I can make them all "Box Optional").  Here's a render of the Gorf Arcade cart and manual.

    Does anyone know about the Super Everdrive X5? I posted a few days ago, I'm getting an error msg "Battery has run dry please replace the battery". I replaced w/brand new and same msg. AND the original battery tested fine. I tried the Krikzz.com site, but man that site is terrible. I'm wondering if this is normal or if I should return it. Thanks!

    Has anybody ever bought one of those ridiculously priced carts that are "graded" by WATA? I've only ever seen them with insane asking bids. 2600 Centipede CIB $198.00?  E.T. $325.00? A beat up CIB Pac-Man....$494.00?  What are you people, on dope?

      That is a remote sensor extension for set top boxes that control other devices. You set those sensors to point towards the IR reader on the other devices, like if you have a tivo-like device that changes tv options (power, sound, channel). The device would send a signal like it was a universal remote pointing at your TV.

    I wish there were a listing of all the sites selling homebrews besides AA (Not many left I don't have lol). Probably not the ideal request on a site that has so many great games, but there are websites that sell exclusive (new) games. Atari of course but other systems would be great too!

    1. GoldLeader

      Maybe just type in Homebrews, Retro Homebrews, Homebrew Video Games, or Homebrew games for sale...etc.   See what comes up!

    Can anyone tell me what voltage/ (input/output), etc a Sega CD system takes? I believe it's the "Model2" I'm HOPING the disc not spinning issue is from using the wrong ps. Yes I searched the forums....2015 is the newest info so I wasnt going to resurrect a dead thread.

    2. jetset

      jetset

      No, until recently I thought this was the only version lol. Turns out there are several, which makes searching for (specific) info very problematic. It was working great last time but it's been in the garage boxed up for 7/8 years. I *did* find out it's not the power supply. Now to try and eliminate the other 12 things it could be until I find the problem  :( 

  15. jetset

    Are people nuts? I get that older TV's are getting rare....but $200-$300+ for a 13" crt tv because it's a "vintage gaming" tv? That's whack!

    Asking for help...if I were to acquire an older TV with REALLY old input types (coax cable and/or the old RF 2 screw input you need a game switch for)
    Can I easily use my composite modded (Red/white/yellow) systems?

     

    1. sixersfan105

      sixersfan105

      Yep, that's fairly simple. You'll just need to get an RF modulator (or "AV to RF" device) that takes the composite and downgrades it to RF. Then you'll need a coaxial cable to run from the RF out to your TV. You may also need an F-type adapter depending on your setup and cables used on the RF side. You mention a game switch - definitely no need for those anymore. If you have the old screw input, you just need an RCA matching/balun transformer and then you can plug in a coaxial cable and you're good to go there, too. But standard coax/ANT inputs are easier in that they require one less adapter thingy.

    2. Crazy Climber

      Crazy Climber

      yeah, RF modulator will do it all for you

       

    3. RetroB1977

      RetroB1977

      You could use an RF modulator, VCRs usually come with one built-in.

    Why do I get the feeling some utter moron killed a decent bin on this item only to have the ending price twice what the bin was (which happens 99% of the time?)

      Doesn't look like it. Seems he started a bunch of sealed 7800 games at $20 each with no buy it nows. Search his sold listings to see what he had. Some pretty decent tittles.

      Gotcha.

    3. jd_1138

      jd_1138

      If you do see a great BIN price, you better snatch the item, or else someone may bid on it and then the price goes up to whatever the market will pay.

       

      I never do BIN's when I list an item, as I don't wanna pay their extra fee for that. I just start the item at 99 cents with no reserve. Does ebay let you do a BIN but let you keep the BIN even if someone bids less than the BIN price? At the point where the price hits the BIN, the item can then be instantly sold to the buyer who bid above the BIN?

       

      I do set reserves on items sometimes, because I know that selling prices can vary greatly depending on who's looking at the item the week you have it listed. It may go for 1/5 its usual value one week while had you waited another week perhaps it would've been bid up to its usual value.

       

      A huge ebay seller who has a pawn shop, what he does is just has his entire inventory listed with BIN prices -- reasonably priced -- not overpriced at some theoretical amount someone once got for the item. He has like 1,500 items listed. Each day he sells about 30-40 items which he boxes up and ships out.  He's Craigslist Hunter on YouTube.

    So I see ebay is still teeming with morons. I've been watching a Guardian cart that had a BIN of $75 bucks. Some nimrod came and killed the bin in the first hour with a $10 bid. It just ended for $95. Has anyone in the history of Ebay that killed a BIN and wound up saving $$? Never made sense to me.

    1. Mikebloke

      Mikebloke

      I've never been a fan of having both options available. I'm a devil for making an offer on these types of auctions and yes, sometimes it's accepted at between the starting and BIN price. I'm happy to kill a BIN if there is a chance of me getting the item much cheaper with a bid. I don't think about other people if I don't own it myself yet. 

    2. jetset

      jetset

      I guess. I personally have yet to see a rare game with a reasonable bin wind up going for less when someone kills the BIN. And with this one the guy who made the first bid never made a 2nd.
