As revealed in the latest @ZeroPage Homebrew show the Starpath/Arcadia SuperCharger is now supported by the PlusStore. The "SuperCharger" folder in PlusStore is shared with all users, so users can now use their smartphone (or any other device with a browser and an audio jack) to load the games via the nextcloud music player app. A PlusStore account (not a PlusCart) is necessary to use the player (Registering a PlusStore account is free). @Prizrak and I uploaded the "Stella gets a new Brain" CD rips and all SuperCharger hacks done by @Nukey Shay to the new PlusStore folder "SuperCharger". This was a lot of work, since all the hacks were bin files and had to be converted with makewav to an audio format and none of the rips and hacks had any useful ID3 tags or cover images. We mostly used @Rom Hunter's database at atarimania.com for the ID3 information and the covers. Some of the information is from the AtariAge Rarity Guide. To organize the album view of the player in a useful way we had to store the game name in the "Artist" ID3 tag and the programmer in the "Album" tag. A new feature is that all new homebrews of 4K and below will be automatically converted to the WAV format and appear in the music player to test with the SuperCharger (currently in the "ZZ_Generated" folder under "Unknown Artist"). PlusStore users that are using the nextcloud/WebDAV client to sync the PlusStore to a local folder and don't have a SuperCharger might unshare the folder if they want to save the 200 MB additional space needed locally. Before using the music player the first time you should set the folder for the library to "/SuperCharger/" here (so scanning will be faster): initially you have to scan the folder:

My UnoCart arrived yesterday! (Thanks @MacRorie!) The first thing I did was install a bunch of roms on an 8gb card and sort them into sub folders. I put the card in the cart and put the cart into my rev14 4 switch woody, fired it up and tested a few games. Pitfall II works great and I am also able to play the starpath Frogger. This thing is awesome! It’s like a RetroPi, but on original hardware! Best of both worlds! i am going to try out a few Homebrews next. How did I live without this thing before?

I called this rare but these are not more special than part two of the mixed zone. Offcourse my most valuable is x-man which i also own a manual and box and laser-loop which is the expensive version of z-tack of bomb (it's also packed with a bomb case). Also happy with Galactic (condor attack) and Galaxy Defender (nexar). Well basically i am happy with all but these were never bought as quantitive addition...

Hi, i found myself a starpath supercharger yesterday for 50 euro but i noticed a jack 3.5 was missing and instead a tulip cable was attached. I am a noob with these kind of electronics but i didn't wat to leave it with the seller because you see Them much in the Netherlands, not even in your hometown. The seller didn't knew what is was or how It worked, Just a.young fellow who bought himself a.bunch of Nintendo stuff with this piece of artwork included. Before i decide to replace it with some sort of original cable, anyone knows why this could be hooked up like this? The SC self seems to work but do not have games yet so cannot test it yet. Cheers StormyWeathers

I have 3 Atari 2600 Supercharger tape game manuals for sale. The titles are "Killer Satellites", "Dragonstomper", and "Suicide Mission". Condition varies, so please see photos. Killer Satellites has a tiny discoloration. Suicide Mission has some creasing and a tiny tear or two on the front cover. Shipping within the continental US is $3.66. I'm asking $13 for the lot including the shipping charge, but I'm open to reasonable offers. Hoping to get these to someone who will appreciate them.

In my 40th episode I discuss the Starcharger and its games. I never had this as a kid, nor did any of my friends have it. Honestly, I just heard of it not too long ago! Did any of you have it? Had it? Or have played it? Did it work like it claimed? I'd like to hear about it. Also, I'd like to thank everyone for the views, the likes, the suggestions, the criticisms, and subscribing. I've had a lot of fun doing this. Someday I hope to achieve legendary status like James Rolfe and John Hancock. But until then, thanks for viewing.

If you have a crappy MP3 player on hand you can just load it up with the Stella Gets A New Brain audio files (They're all over the internet), Plug in the Supercharger and it will actually read the files and play the games, and it's still much cheaper that buying S.G.A.N.B. or any of the other games physically, though I would recommend you buy some of them just for the box art alone. -
I was doing some research on the Starpath supercharger and noticed that System 3 had acquire the rights to Epyx. Does this mean that System 3 owns Starpath or is it still with Bridgestone Media Group?

Hello, I was wondering. When was the last time someone tried to secure the rights to any of the Starpath games? Bridgestone Multimedia Group, the current rights holder, has a mailing address and I was considering writing them a letter. My goal would be for them to freely release Dragonstomper under a GNU General Public License. You have to start somewhere. I figure getting a single title released might carry a higher chance of success than a full library release. I believe they could get some positive PR from gaming websites if they/we did a little groundwork and I might play this up. As Dragonstomper might be the first console RPG I believe it to be the most important Starpath game, but it is routinely overshadowed by The Official Frogger and Phaser Patrol, titles that Bridgestone is more likely to make money off of in the future via Atari compilations and the like. Having them keep these titles might make a solitary Dragonstomper release more likely. If this initial goal fails, the goal of my second letter would be for them to name a price to sell the rights, again for the single game. To the best of my knowledge they haven't made a penny off the Starpath rights the entire time they've owned them, so I feel that getting them to release one game for free as a good will gesture might not be that far fetched, and failing that, that the price for the rights to a single game might not be too steep. What do you guys think? Is it worth a shot? Are there any lawyers in the audience who could provide any insight as to the best phrasing and terminology for making a pitch like this, or what the rights might cost if the initial pitch fails? Also, do you think they have the source code for these games or would that more likely be held by the original programmer? Best wishes and thank you for your time.

I bought this item from ebay, not at this price, but one that ccame on auction, from this guy, as you guys can read, I tought was an original thing. Just received today, 4 shit burned cdr's (even a shit quality) with 4 pages printed in inkjet (suposely should be the instructions) Is this legal to sell those as original ? In his auction, in any moment, he stated was a copy or anything like that ! What to do ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Worship-Woodgrain-Atari-Starpath-Supercharger-Video-Game-System-Console-2600-/291428349308?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43da7bb57c

So just got my Arcadia supercharger in the mail but even after extensive cleaning of the pins it still just starts black and flashes yellow. I have no idea what to do. Im afraid there's a blown capacitor or something inside it. What say you? Any ideas? BTW before I forget Im using an Atari Jr so its not a 7800 issue.

The sprites are sticking on the SuperCharger... anyone have an idea what's different? BreaksOnSC.bin The code runs fine on Stella and on the Harmony but when I run it on the SuperCharger the sprites get stuck. I'm guessing there may be an "environment variable" (register) I'm not setting that is pre-configured when Stella or the Harmony runs a SuperCharger game?

Do NTSC versions of Sword of Saros and Survival Island say "PAL system" on the label? I'm asking because I cannot find a photo of these games where it does not say this on the label. I owned both of these when I was a kid, so I know there was a U.S. release. These are listed as NTSC releases in the AtariAge database, and the photos of the cassettes there also say "PAL system" on the label.
