Lynxpro Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Has anyone contacted AtariMax about suggesting a firmware revision to the SD Cart so that the Trak-Ball can drive the menu? Playsoft, if you want to add Trak-Ball support to any other 5200 games, it's been suggested elsewhere that Parker Bros' Star Wars the Arcade Game and Megamania would be great candidates. Trak-Ball support and inversion were recently hacked into the 2600 version of Star Wars the Arcade Game. Personally, I'd say paddles would work best with Megamania [and 2600 Spider Fighter while I'm mentioning it] but I'm not going to argue with any suggestion for adding Trak-Ball support to more games. Definitely jump into the 2600 Trak-Ball threads so more people will be aware of your work since you are the Trak-Ball coding king on the 5200 whereas Thomas and OmegaMatrix are focusing on the 2600 and Kenfused's code for 7800 Centipede-TB is being incorporated into other 7800 home-brews and hacks.

MIKE5200 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Glad your dad liked it! It is based on the old Depthcharge arcade game and I never thought about it in relation to Kaboom but this is the second time someone has mentioned it. It does have similarities, but with you doing the bombing. A few other 2600 games as well. He enjoys tanks,ships,subs games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the keypad of the trackball to move the the menu. Allan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
