atari 800xl Atari 800XL Set of Wall Mounts (3D Printable Design).
rcamp48 posted a topic in Atari General
Hello everyone , I have decided to veer away from software for a bit and have instead fired up my 3D printer and Tinkercad to produce a good set of wall mounts that are Atari Universal, as I print the first design, I will be seeing what changes the STLs need and adjusting accordingly for the different Atari computers that are out there. I have listed my design on Tinkercad, it is a remix of another design, and as such credit has been given to the original designer of the Laptop Wall Mount Set. Here is the URL for my design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5335874 -
The historical videogame par excellence is undoubtedly Pong. The first commercialized digital tennis game. Did we need yet another version in 2022? I would have answered no but, in this enhanced version which includes the use of the joystick and also a single player mode that include the AI for the computer player.... well, I had to change my mind! ? This is how an Italian developer who signs himself with the pseudonym 'Skirla' (but also known as 'Piso' ), who as his first official complete game, gives us a version of Pong that we did not yet have on the TI-99/4A! It will take the additional 32K to be able to get it started. The Downloads including the XB, EA5 for the .BIN I created it using the Make Cart @Tursi utility (Thanks!). It is a GROM image and on my FG99, I do now know why, it seems to not work but it is ok with emulators. Can maybe Help with this please? maybe to create a ROM image? Module Creator seems to have a limit in doing the conversion of these EA5 files. In the meanwhile, I also created a couple of labels for the cartridge: Description and free downlaod can be found in the TI99iuc website following this page these are the direct link for the .ZIP files: - XB - EA5 - Cartridge image (GROM) - (include the labels)

Tominator's Collection: 82 Systems and Growing!
Tominator posted a topic in Show Us Your Collection!
My collection. 30+ years in the making. Yes, these are dust proof, moisture proof tubs. Most systems are not new, but I like to keep them dust free. 82 systems counting the vintage original systems and the modern minis / classics. Not including the 20+ Plug and Play systems. You could get technical and say an Atari 1040 STE and a Mega STE are essentially the same thing, but for the system count's sake, I did not group them. I have not focused on handheld systems, but they have crept into the collection through awesome finds and trades. And, yes, my chair is lame. My father made the large toybox for my children when the first one was born, and I had it re-upolstered with Arcade Logo fabric when they got too old for a toybox. It houses all kinds of extra cables and connectivity items required to get various systems working with various monitors or TVs. For the monitors / TVs, I have a PS3 3D TV, a Dell MutiSync Monitor (for the Atari STs and Amiga), an Atari ST monochrome and an Atari ST color monitor, a 4K TV, a 215 pound Sony Trinitron WEGA TV and finally a Sharp curved CRT good for the light guns. I have a broken Emerson Arcadia 2001 and Microvision, so they are counted in the total. Next items that I'm still working to get: Playstation 5 Xbox Series X Philips CDi Emerson Arcadia 2001Gameboy Color Amstrad 6128 Sinclair ZX Spectrum I started my collection with unique vintage controllers and then modded controllers for various systems, then adapters or adapted controllers that allow just about any system to use any controller, then finally modded systems. Not all systems are modded, but the vast majority of them have something that has modernized them in a user and game-library friendly way. Most Unique is probably the Amiga 1200 in a PC case with modern cooling, USB ports, CD32 capabilty, and Flash Drives. Favorites: The 800XL was my first computer and bought earning $3.10 an hour in a Target warehouse, so I am attached to it. I still love the Super Nintendo's hand drawn sprite games. Thanks for letting me share! -
It is clear that Nolan Bushnell got fired from Atari back in the late 1970s. Atari certainly wasn't the same without him, that's for sure. There was the clash between the East Coast businessmen and the typically more lax West Coast devs and designers of the day at the company. Eventually, as we all know, Atari become way too corporate, and its approach to licensing games on their consoles at the time ended up allowing a glut of terrible-mediocre games (as well as some unlicensed games slipping through) to flood the market here and there. I remember from a documentary on the History Channel that I watched about 4 or 5 years ago which was about the history of video games. It of course included parts about Atari, as well as Ralph Baer's brown box. Recently, some parts from that documentary came back to the front of my mind, especially the sections where Nolan was interviewed about what happened to Atari as the years went on. In particular, there is one part where he says he regretted not raising money (how he would have tried to have done it, he doesn't say) to buy the company back. However there is also the fact that in 1984, at the height of the video game crash that started in about Spring the preceding year, Atari Inc was hemorrhaging money in the hundreds of millions, and Warner Communications decided search for a party to sell off Atari, which led to Atari Inc. being split up into Atari Corporation (the home computer and game console division), which Jack Tramiel bought. The rest, namely the arcade gaming division was kept by Warner and rebranded into Atari Games Corp. This leaves a dilemma for Mr. Bushnell had he seriously went and tried his hand at getting back control of the company, He almost certainly only would have acquired enough money to buy ONE of the 2 Ataris. Do you think he should have tried go and either bid for purchasing Atari Corporation from Tramiel, or go bidding for Atari Games Corp.?

I have an Atari Stacy here, almost 100% disassembled that I have been tasked to reassemble and test. I'm looking for any pointers on how to get it together and what I should be looking for that may need repairs. @Darklord, your name was mentioned to me as someone who knows their way around a Stacy. I have a couple of questions... - Can I run the stacy without the screen connected, using an external monitor? - There is a green (ground?) wire with a screw lug on the end coming from the top half of the shell. Where does it normally get screwed on the bottom of the shell? - I have a bunch of screws and no idea where they go. Is there an assembly diagram for a Stacy anywhere? Thanks!

Does anyone have an original disk of Atari Microsoft Basic they'd be willing to part with for a reasonable cost?

Hello, I hope you can help! I have installed an s-video mod board from here to my pal, black label Atari jr. When I boot a game the picture looks clean and bright for about 12 seconds, before turning very dim and losing colour. The game plays fine, and there is no issues with sound, just really dark after 12 seconds. So far I have checked all my soldering for continuity, pins 9 and 13 are lifted, the bottom of the mod board is taped, and there are no visual signs of bad capacitors (my initial thoughts). Any ideas what could be going wrong or what I should check next?

I found a Trak-Ball that is serial number 00249, so I figured it'd be interesting to see what kind of serial numbers are out there. I asked the 5200 facebook group and a bunch of people there gave me the numbers off of their Trak-Balls. Please feel free to post your serial number and any interesting information, like Country of Manufacture and the EP codes. Or, any other code prefixes. Here's the list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aOaXTLlwIG_rvisCZmIbVjZiZ8-MXtSo0AxY41u3-BU/edit?usp=sharing

Hi, This is a cool project that enables you to play the Atari 2600 tennis using a real racket. Yes , yes , a real one ! (no joystick) The project was done using Python and OpenCV. This project can be run both : on Windows with emulator , and on original Atari 2600 console using Raspberry Pi Pretty cool The link for the video is : https://youtu.be/vbd0ShdMqYE Stay tuned for my next video that will teach with a full tutorial how to get this result Enjoy Eran

I have a problem accessing the menu to choose the games (roms) saved on my SDCARD. The pages are automatically descending and none of the joysticks are activated (even disconnecting them from the Atari 2600S the problem persists). Other cartridges work normally. I'm using the latest firmware version. Problem.mp4 Roms.zip

Hey all, I am new to this retro collecting thing and recently received this joystick in an Atari 2600 lot I bought. From what I've been able to find, this seems to be a VIC-20 joystick, which apparently didn't sell too many before being discontinued due to a lawsuit from Atari. I'm looking for more information on this from people who are more familiar with the subject. Anyone here have any ideas on how rare it is? Is this something people are looking for? I noticed the joystick doesn't have much movement.. could it be locked up? Is it something I should open up and take a look at? The story itself seems really interesting, so I was looking for some more info on it. Any conversation on it would be great!

Hi, This is a cool project of controlling Atari 2600 Missile command using your hands and fingers as motion controls The hands “creates” a virtual joystick on air that can impact the movement and the shooting of the player. The link for the video is : https://youtu.be/6-gNiK2leZ8 The project is based on Python, OpenCV , and Mediapipe The goal of the project was to create a functionality that replaces the traditional Atari 2600 joystick with our hands and fingers position using a camera . The code estimate the position of each hands , and calculate the X,Y axis to simulate directions and shooting, That transforms it to an action. The project also combines : pose estimation of the hands and fingers gesture, capturing the game image and sound , and merge it into a new window as one visual game (keeping the original sound). I added a link for the code in the video description, so you can download and enjoy it. Enjoy Eran

SOLD FS - Atari 800 Great Looking and Works Great!!
800_Rocks posted a topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
SOLD but I have others. PM me for details. I have an Atari 800 for sale 48K. Really good condition. Looks and works great. I’m asking $250 + shipping within the U.S. (which is generally $65). I gave it a nice bath inside and out and lubricated the cartridge door otherwise it was in great condition. I have been using it a lot and have done all testing I know how to do. No discoloration, no cracks, no chips, no major scratches. Keyboard is in great shape, all keys work, no keys sticking or loose. I will include a power supply and BASIC cartridge. We can also talk about other items I have for sale including: 100+ cartridges, books, manuals, joysticks, great working (restored) game paddles and many other items as well. Note: I have sold several 800s in the past few years. I know how to pack them well protected and have never had an issue with breakage on the receiving end. -
