LoTonah Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Just saw one on eBay (PAL only--sniff!). I always dreamed of owning one when I was a young'un...can anyone tell me if it's been emulated somehow, and where to get it if it has?

+Psionic Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, I saw that one... http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=115527 NTSC versions do pop up every few months...mabb96 has a few left I think. As far as emulation goes, it ran a version of BASIC, but I'm not aware of any emulation of the CompuMate itself...that would be very complex.

You need the ROM in order for it to run, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 AFAIK only the more common PAL version has been dumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yes, we're still missing a dump of the NTSC version: http://www.atarimania.com/lst_soft.php?SOF...age=1&OK=OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Is it really that hard to get a dump of an NTSC Compumate? You'd think by now it would have been done. Does someone want to volunteer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does someone want to volunteer? I have an NTSC Compumate...I'll see what I can do. Dumping this ROM is a bit difficult. The Compumate does it's bankswitching through the controller port, but the cables are too short to fit into the 7800 cartridge reader. When I dumped the PAL ROM, I had to plug the Compumate controller port cables into an extra 2600 with a Supercharger which would run a little program to set a specific bank on the Compumate. That allowed me to read the four banks seperately on the 7800. Ciao, Eckhard Stolberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bumping this thread because it might be possible to emulate the Compumate on Chimera, although it would probably take some disassembly and hacking to do it. So I'd like to see an NTSC dump.

So I'd like to see an NTSC dump. I'm working on it. As soon as I can meet up with Curt, it will get done. He's been busy and so far we've been unable to make arrangements.

Vic George 2K3 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I tried it out in emulation; it's like a wannabe Timex/Sinclair 1000 crossed with some version of an Atari home computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
