RevEng Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Has anyone tried this ROM on the Mateos Multi-cart? I'm assuming I can rename it as .SG (please see below) and it should work. .SG for 128kB games that use the standard bank switching scheme of eight 16kB banks, like Xenophobe. .SGR for 128kB games that use the standard bank switching scheme of eight 16kB banks and additional RAM, like Jinks. .SGP for 128kB games that use the standard bank switching scheme of eight 16kB banks and POKEY sound IC, like Commando. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/251570-atari-7800-rewritable-multigame-cartridge/?p=3532191 Give .SGR a try. The game requires extra/on-cart RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Will do. Stepping out for a couple of hours, but I'll give it a try later this afternoon and report back. *** Update: The ROM works well with the .SGR extension. Thanks for porting this to the 7800 RevEng.

CPUWIZ Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I am totally [CENSORED], for forgetting all about this. This runs fine on my board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Picture and world reveal of the VersaBoard Rev.B or Versa2 for short. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Forgot to note, with a simple change to the PLD code, POKEY would work as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good_Times Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Picture and world reveal of the VersaBoard Rev.B or Versa2 for short. Whoa, cool. I see your name on the actual chip. Very interesting. I think I've heard your name mentioned in various John Hancock videos....also something about 'Cowlit Gaming'. (sp?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 This was one of my favorite games on the Commodore 64. I must have missed this thread. I don't think I have an Atari 7800 emulator on this computer, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Somehow, this game ended up on a multicart experiment I was doing, 8 games that all require RAM. I wonder if anyone would be interested in that, to support further homebrew development advancements in hardware. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Yup. I'd be in for that! What other games are you thinking of putting on there, CPUWIZ? The games I crammed on here are: Summer Games Winter Games Jinks Tower Toppler Sirius Plutos Possible Mission Serpentine You're welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Great! I don't have the first three, or Possible Mission, and the remainder are all good games. How much and where do I send my $? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XM05ES Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Somehow, this game ended up on a multicart experiment I was doing, 8 games that all require RAM. Sorry, still processing this, and I'm a bit behind... Did those other games have RAM on their carts? Is there a list of games that did?

Shawn Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 You had forgot about the game, I had mentioned it to you the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they all require RAM, smaller amounts for some, more for others. But none of them run without RAM (or are visually impossible to look at). Still experimenting.

CPUWIZ Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 You had forgot about the game, I had mentioned it to you the other day. Nope, I was reminded by someone else, almost at the same time. RevEng gave me Trebor's RAM pack (so to speak), that is when I realized and posted the [CENSORED] message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
