Lynxpro Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Tempest Nut, I don't know what to say.... That is insanely awesome! I hope you post a video of it in action on YouTube... If you could do a similar design that would be a 5200-compatible rotary/spinner controller, the 5200 Tempest fans would go insane over it. I know Dan Kramer - the creator of Atari Consumer's Trak-Balls - took a CX53 Trak-Ball and hooked it up to an arcade Tempest rotary controller and got it to work with 5200 Tempest. There's some pictures of it here: http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/atariparty/2016/photos/ And here I just want a retrofit 4-piece PCB kit with dome switches for the CX52 5200 Joysticks...

Tempest Nut Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) That's my kind of Atari Nut ! lol How is he playing Tempest on a 5200 ? I thought that was just a prototype game for the 5200 ? Edited November 23, 2018 by Tempest Nut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was eventually finished and released by the original programmer of the game. You can find it here in the AtariAge store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It was eventually finished and released by the original programmer of the game. You can find it here in the AtariAge store. From the 2015 party we had, there are pics of the programmer Keithen Hayenga in attendance: http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/atariparty/2015/photos/ Not to mention ex-Atari Inc engineers such as Dan Kramer, Jerry Jessop, and Mike Albaugh... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zezba9000 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Without going through 64 pages of forums posts over two years. Was the Atari Jaguar Multicart/Flashcart SD2Cart released? Anywhere to buy it? Edited November 27, 2018 by zezba9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just the only flash cart I find is: http://www.vector-labs.com/index_jagcart.html That requires the "Xeltek SuperPro 610P IC Programmer" which isn't cheap and isn't as practical as and SD system. I bought a Atari Jaguar and am looking for a way to test homebrew games on the actually hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SainT Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 The RetroHQ JagSD will be coming in the first quarter of next year. There's not much left to do, but at the moment life just seems stupidly busy -- this is being rectified at the moment as I'm getting to the end of numerous other projects, which will free up both time and space. Sorry for the long wait on this, it's taken far longer than I had hoped, just due to there always being a dozen things happening at once. I really could do with employing someone to do the day to day stuff of making and shipping carts... but it's a big thing (for me anyway) to make that step. Until then, I do everything, and spread myself rather thinly... 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerosquare Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) I really could do with employing someone to do the day to day stuff of making and shipping carts...There are plenty of companies that can handle the manufacturing for you For the shipping part, have you asked Albert? Maybe he would be willing to sell your carts in the AA store. Life's too short to spend it on repetitive stuff like this!

Maybe he would be willing to sell your carts in the AA store. Life's too short to spend it on repetitive stuff like this! The biggest issue is I'm a control freak. Letting something which would potentially impact quality out of my hands, when I know the tolerances are tight, isn't something I'm ready to do. I'm growing things gradually.... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
