Gamemoose Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Since this needs the latest Stella to play the ROM, would this work on the Retron 77? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Yes, if you use the lastest R77 Stella community release. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to use emulation, or a physical harmony cart. That said, the harmony should definitely run on an fpga atari, if someone designs one with a cartridge interface. Ahh, understood.

Albert Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 The posters for Galagon arrived today! These are double-sided, featuring the artwork from the front and back of the box. Thank you Dave Dries for the time you put into this project! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Next we need Robotron on the 2600. I assume the increased power of the Harmony Encore could pull it off! I can dream!Also, this looks excellent. Can’t wait to make the purchase! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I really hope you have the same reaction at PRG as I did at VCFMW14. I tell you - 100% non-stop playing of the demo for the 2 days I had the 2600 on. I even updated a Harmony cart for someone to the latest firmware so they could run the demo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one game I really can't see the 2600 pulling off very well. And I love Robotron and own an arcade cabinet... ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Double-sided posters now? Great idea for those of us who have run out of wall space. Time to finally get some double-sided frames and start suspending these from the ceiling! -edit- oh yeah, that's right... Dungeon has maps and info on the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 We've done double-sided posters before for Dungeon (2600) and Jeff Minter Classics (Jaguar). It would have been a crime not to do it for Galagon given the artwork. ..Al 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen such an animal. I got sneaky back in college and rolled my own double sided posters. I had some "babe" posters on my wall and one of my female friends took offense to it. So out of respect I agreed to take them down. What to do? ? Then I took a John Belushi "college" poster and the hot babe, some double sided tape and made my own double sided poster. So when my friend came over, I flipped it to John Belushi. She left, and i flipped it back to the babe! ? She eventually figured out my scheme one day she showed up unnanounced while I was frantically trying to flip it before she barged in. Clever, but not bright. Lol! ??♀️??♂️ I am much more refined now. I have body positive fine art on my walls, not cheap mass market gratuity. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Gotta scroll down. There's lots of double-sided frames on offer there.

+davidcalgary29 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'm at PRGE now, and just played this (and bought the shirt). Holy crap! I haven't followed this thread, and this was a surprise. I never,ever thought this could have been done on the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And? This happened now, i guess and i hope? So, the full version will be available soon, right? Can you not rename it to "Galaga" again? Just a suggestion. ?
