Marriage is a good plan, then you can share the problems you would never have as a single person. 🤔And then also before PRGE, better would be at PRGE 👍 I'm looking forward. I am not sure which emulator they are using, but if it is Stella or Gopher2600 then it should work.

Will this work with retroachievements.org ?

Oh, no, not just before the wedding and PRGE! I'll be in touch … later 🤓

I'm happy to introduce SavePlus, a new PlusROM feature! Similar to the SaveKey, SavePlus allows your games to save and load data such as scores, settings, or progress. The big difference? All data is stored and retrieved from an Internet backend! Supported devices: SavePlus can be used with any PlusROM supporting device or emulator like the PlusCart, Stella or Gopher2600. Additional features: GMT Time Query: SavePlus allows games to query the current GMT time, which is helpful for time-sensitive events or daily features. Score submission to PlusROM High Score Club (HSC): Games can automatically submit player scores to the PlusROM High Score Club (HSC). This enables players to compete in global leaderboards without any extra effort. To enable this feature, developers need to request a unique HSC ID for their game, which assigns it a place in the HSC database. Future features: We’re planning to add more features, such as querying the user’s time zone or country, which could be used for region-based events or custom game settings. Real-world example: One developer already using SavePlus is Thomas Jentzsch in his game "Paddlefield". In "Paddlefield", SavePlus stores the player's game selection on the server, so when the game starts again, it continues with the last settings. This is just one example of how SavePlus can enhance gameplay by preserving custom settings across sessions. Important for developers: Just like with the SaveKey, developers will need to request a unique ID for their game. This ensures that the game’s data is correctly stored in the database. For games using the HSC feature, you’ll also need a HSC ID to enable score submission to the PlusROM High Score Club. Documentation & Support: While the documentation is still in progress, you can check the current version here: https://saveplus.firmaplus.de/. If you're a developer and want to implement SavePlus, feel free to contact me directly to request a game ID and get help with integration. Feedback and Suggestions: I'm always open to suggestions from both developers and the community! If you have ideas for new features or improvements, don’t hesitate to share them here. Feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback.

Updated to the new version and tested (all fine): - update to this version & normal connection - searched and played games - load and play own games (up to 128 = Penult) - played some HSC games Didn‘t set up own host (not sure how to do this 🫣). How can we test the Supercharger changes?

With the new draft firmware the local/custom API host can be tested:

New draft version v2.3.22 in PlusStore. For all draft users Custom API host New ESP8266 firmware v1.7.5.0 Use custom X-Content-Length header Fix supercharger bios Improved SuperCharger driver The main change is the Custom API host. The host name or IP address can be seen in "Setup/System Info" and changed in "Setup/API Host". For a local setup the Local PlusStore APP (based on "Simple Webserver" for Windows, MacOS or Linux) has to run on a device in the same network than the PlusCart. All users that want to be added to the draft user group and test a local setup please post here or PM me.

Version v1.0.0 of the local PlusStore API with simplewebserver is working! https://github.com/Al-Nafuur/Local-PlusStore Missing features of the local API: Search function "Popular ROMs" "Recently added ROMs" "My Favourite ROMs" "My Recently Played ROMs" Text file reading ZIP/tar file unpacking High Score Club leaderboard PlusCart chat List of users online WiFi firmware update (FOTA) Currently there is a modified firmware on the PlusCart needed to access the local PlusStore API.

For a local solution this might be better: https://simplewebserver.org/ it is a node.js app for Windows, macOS and Linux. And it can be enhanced with plugins or custom scripts.

@Ben from Plaion Maybe you can help here.

Dear Atari Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report an issue I encountered with my new Atari 2600+ system. Issue Description: I recently purchased a new pair of Paddle controllers along with the official extension cable. While playing Warlords, I connected the extension cable to port 1 of the Atari 2600+ and then connected my Paddle controllers through the extension cable. However, I found that Paddle controller #2 was not functional, while Paddle controller #1 worked fine. Troubleshooting Steps Taken: I connected the Paddle controllers directly to the Atari 2600+ without the extension cable, and both controllers worked perfectly with Warlords. I tested the extension cable with the Joystick CX40, and it seemed to work fine. System Information: Atari 2600+ OS Version: 1.0 I would appreciate any assistance you can provide to resolve this issue. Please let me know if you need any further information. Thank you for your support.

I've tested these on my 2600Jr PAL with UCA V2.3.17 and only the collect_cdjf_V2.ACE is working. A blank screen for the other one.

Here are all none bB DPC+ ROMs we have converted manually so far for UnoCart users (UCA firmware required!) to test. PlusCart users can find the binaries in the PlusStore folder "Public ROMs/Homebrew/DPC+ ACE" Chaotic_Grill.ACE Frantic_20140404.ACE Scramble Demo NTSC_stm32.ACE Scramble_v2.ACE Spacerocks_20121106_stm32.ace ZaxxonHDDemo_ACE_150927_NTSC.bin ZaxxonHDDemo_ACE_150927_PAL60.bin

Thanks Steve for mentioning this. If you have previously ordered a full ROM of Scramble from Champ Games, we will be glad to provide to you an ACE version of the ROM to play on the PlusCart/UnoCart. Eventually we will start including an ACE version of the game ROM for any new purchases. Yes, that would be great. Thanks! 👍

We haven't uploaded the manually converted DPC+ ROMs for the UnoCart to the forums yet. They are only available via the PlusStore. @johnnywc if it is okay for you, we can upload the ACE version to the forum too.

Games that are not written in Batari BASIC have to be converted by hand. We've done that for Scramble and the demo is on the PlusStore. However, Scramble is a commercial game so the full game is not publicly available If you've bought a full version of Scramble in the past then there will need to be some arrangement with @johnnywcfor you to acquire the Uno/PlusCart version. It's technically possible but not something I can offer any help with.

Thanks for the tool. This can convert the Batari BASIC .bin, but how to convert in .ace for example Scramble from Champs Games, that is not in Batari BASIC? Thanks.

A few (demo) ROMs have already converted to this driver and can be found in the PlusStore folder: "Public ROMs/Homebrew/CDFJ Test" For UnoCart users (UCA firmware required!): advland_cdfj.acecollect_cdjf_V2.ACE

v1.0 of relocateBB https://github.com/JetSetIlly/relocateBB/releases/tag/v1.0 Any questions or problems can be posted here. Alternatively you can open an issue on Github if that's convenient.

I have released the current state of the ACE CDFJ driver. The driver (and Readme) is far from being completed. But all further development for CDFJ will be done there. https://github.com/Al-Nafuur/ACE-CDFJ-Driver

No. @JetSetIlly will release a tool for the UnoCart users. We are currently clarifying under which licenses this will be published. Edit: @JetSetIlly MarcoJ and I would like to release the DPCp ACE driver under GPLv2.

Is this accessible from a browser? I only have a UnoCart.

The new PlusStore API version which patches the DPC+ bB games has been released. A collection of the games can be found in the folder: "Public ROMs/Homebrew/DPC+ bB Games"

Frantic seemed to work too. You guys create a lot of tension, that's for sure.

You and Marco have had the tenacity to see the project through to completion. I can only stand back and admire that commitment. I think what you've achieved here is amazing. The most amazing part of the project isn't revealed in the above advert for the show, and that part is all PlusCart magic. I think people will be very impressed when it's shown.
