Rastignac Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Note that I'm still looking for "the Last Of Five French Activision Secam Games", aka RiverRaid1, but I really can't find it. I'm so sad about it. "It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiki Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 although there were only a little more than 500 different games made for the Atari 2600 And here you have it "journalists". As expected, you hardly get past a thousand unique games with any system. Not to mention the heavy reuse of the same code in different games!!! Anyway, looking into my Harmony Cartridge folder there are currently 456 roms including homebrews. That's a very good result - my SNES selection only has around 128 roms selected out of the flood.

MadZiontist Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks a ton for putting a collection like this together and sharing it. The level of care and qualiy you've put into it is much appreciated as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw57drvr Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Is there something similar for 5200 and 7800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Is there something similar for 5200 and 7800? AA member Trebor has put together something for the 7800 which has posted in the 7800 section. I don't have a link handy. Search for his posts regarding 7800 emulation via MESS and MAME.

Torr Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This ROM collection, it has some handy text files, but one I'd LIKE to see is just WHAT IS fixed in the [Fixed] versions of ROMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 This ROM collection, it has some handy text files, but one I'd LIKE to see is just WHAT IS fixed in the [Fixed] versions of ROMs. A bug that can't be described in one single filename. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Well... yeah... but what I mean is, what WAS the bug? A programming bug that years later we just decided to fix cause we can? or a bug that is caused by the dumping process, so a GOOD dump just can't be made? or what? And more specifically, by a list, I meant list of all the FIXED ROMs and WHAT was fixed. Hence the addition of a TXT file. For example: Activision Decathlon - Fixed a bug causing you to freeze if you tap left/right a little TOO fast, as turbo functions can these days. Astroblast - Fixed a bug that causes the game to crash if a large size red rock hits the ground when your score equals a multiple of 13. Dodge 'Em - Fixed a bug that allowed the opponents car to switch multiple lanes crossing over boundaries if that lane has no dots. Etc - Etc I know these aren't REAL bugs, I just made them up as examples. And I'm curious if these bugs occur in ACTUAL carts played on a REAL VCS.

Omegamatrix Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Here is a list of the fixes. I pieced this together from a lot of old posts from many years ago... I didn't actually test all these roms to verify if these contain the fixes. Maybe you can do that, Torr? Fixes.txt None of these fixes were done by us. These are all from released carts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Why is Air Raid labelled as PAL? I am pretty sure it must be NTSC, given the story behind it. The sky color is another hint (blue in NTSC and purple in PAL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 290 is neither PAL nor NTSC, just something in between and the result of bad programming. Also the game displays 291 scan lines while running. This would result into color loss in PAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need something to keep you busy, then maybe you can answer the question I posted for you here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/181461-super-duper-rare-cart-found/?p=2274234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Wish I could... I'm about 3.5 thousand km from my collection right now!Moved with one suitcase and so far have only had my Dreamcast mailed to me with my games on a spindle!I'm hoping this summer to make a road trip and get my collection back in my hands! (Not to mention other things!)But I could do it easily, Because like I say, I have 2 carts that have the standard solution and 1 cart with the PAL solution so I could boot one after the other to see if there was any difference. I must of missed that post...Back when you asked I was about 900 km from my collection... then I had no internet again until I was here... being a vagabond sucks sometimes.

Rastignac Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 ...RiverRaid 1 SECAM... "It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine." Now, in a few days. (I traded a rare Pitfall2 PAL for a gigarare RiverRaid1 SECAM!) Soon, it must be dumped. Stay tuned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rastignac Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Now, in a few days.Today is the day. I feel like I am the only one in the whole universe having the complete Activision 2600 Secam set... Here are some pictures. (Sorry for the meh quality). This Secam game runs on a Pal console (so colors are not the Secam ones). Note the "CARB" (aka "carburant", aka "fuel in French"). Thanks. "I don't have Atari friends. I got Atari family." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
