That's gray area. Some ROMs are considered abandoned but Atari brand name and many of Atari owned games are still being made available in Flashback. So far the rights holder have not taken interest in ordering ROMs removed. Activision and Imagic ROMs are actively protected and AA does not offer them on their site. You should be fine downloading any of them, FBI aren't going to bust the door down for downloading a protected ROM. Just don't share them if you don't want to deal with legal mess.

Claims $33.433.30 but the current amount is $32,637.01 so he's losing almost a thousand because of currency conversion and shitty Canada dollars.

I'm using a hot mini glue gun that I got from Walmart for a few dollars plus a 50-pack of mini sticks. They do take a few minutes to warm up but usually they can provide enough at a time to hold PCB board or wire. The lower temp version is also available but it's more for kids and for clumsy adults since it takes longer to heat up and can only provide less liquid glue at a time. I don't know how old it is but I think I got it back in mid 90s when things were still built to last. (like my first DVD player I got in 2001 also from Walmart, it still works today) If you need to put out a lot of melted glue, you need to use a bigger (regular sized) glue gun. But I rarely use it since I don't need to coat everything in melted glue. Just a drop or 2 to hold wires and a bit more for mod boards.

Sounds like an adventure game. Oh wait there is a game called Adventure where you can carry only one item!

Got mine earlier. They arrived Thursday but no one was home to sign for the package so I went to the post office this morning and got it.

Any AA Members in England Willing to Help An American Member?
7800fan replied to bfstats's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
eBay UK has global shipping program. If the seller is willing to add that, GSP can ship almost anywhere on buyer's expense. The only issue is you have a small risk you'd could end up receiving just the cart and not complete set. I shipped a $400 Virtualboy CIB game to someone via GSP, he got the cart only. GSP refunded fully without hitting my pocket and the buyer got to keep the $100 cart to sell. -

Not to mention early glasses used toxic chemical to make print like cadmium for red and lead. IMO I wouldn't drink out of anything made before this century -
How do I create wav files of Atari games for a Supercharger?
7800fan replied to Spector's topic in Atari 2600
May need to use DOSBox for them, generally DOS program just won't work under 64 bit Windows, and almost everything in the last 5 years are using 64 bits Windows. -
I'd like to pick this up, see if I can fix the 5200, then sell em working and keep the trackball. Did you have a price in mind? Also where are you located? shipping from outside USA would be deal killer for me if the lot isn't cheap enough.

And bruised balls if the boy got too rough playing? Incidentally I got these: -
WTF is up with eBay? Untested and for parts or repair up to $100? Whatever happened to those staying under $25 and working Lynxes being about $50 and up? Just need one that works, bad LCD is OK since I'll replace with McWill LCD anyway. I have only one good working Lynx and I couldn't get the second one to work anymore. Have Paypal fund ready to pay.

The Official "Thrift finds" Thread

Just today: It's frickin' rare to find any Atari item in a typical Goodwill stores, those either gets picked up by Sumguy or held for shopgoodwill site. I need to ask: why tiny base with big shaft? Was the designer compensating for something when he designed this joystick handle? -
Shit happens. In this case you got shafted by web site bug and ended up in the line a little further away.

ah nm need a new glasses -
OK why is this Super Game Module going for so much?
7800fan replied to 7800fan's topic in Auction Central
AA store has em for $90 (presell maybe?) but it's cheaper than eBay listing if you don't mind waiting and not getting Colecovision logo. -

2080? That's 4k display! Does that TV come with its own forklift or group of 6 men to carry it in your house? -
Pre-Crash Fight Stick keypad button mapping
7800fan replied to tripletopper's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Just a reminder Intellivision has only 3 side buttons. The 2 top are connected to the same circuit. Only the 2 bottom buttons are separate and works independently of each other. So from game's point of view there are only 3 buttons. -
The Official Turbografx 16 Thread!
7800fan replied to Rick Dangerous's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I would like to get SSD3 eventually. Currently I have Duo-R that I bought about 5 years ago very cheap (seller said CD games didn't work right), checked it, found only games requiring System 3 ROM had corrupt graphic, bad trace from CD controller chip to one of the 64k RAM chip, 4 inches of wire it's been working 100%. I also replaced the original 2K BRAM with 32K and added in circuit to switch the 2k blocks so I don't need Tennoko Bank card to shuffle same games. I just press button to change the bank and play a lot of games. 32k BRAM is like having 4x Tennokoe Bank cards at once. If I got SSD3 I wouldn't need to hunt down rare CD games or grab cheap repro CD when it pops up and I wouldn't need to burn a CD-R for games that are obscenely expensive or unreleased, and not available as repro. CD-R are hit or miss depending on quality of disc and how the CD burner can handle slow burns. Plus CD-R aren't good for really old CD system.- 3,803 replies

I am pretty sure Telegames are all out of curved lip carts and are only offering PCB version

Still waiting...

Just to point out there will be additional charges if the total is below minimum for certain services like Paypal.

AFAIK the only time 50 vs 60 mattered is the video chip. I am pretty sure the serial port ran at the same timing since none of the disk drive depended on mains frequency at all. (1541-II and 1581 had separate power supply bricks that provided only DC to the drives)

Just a reminder Johnny Harts passed away about 11 years ago so the rights are probably somewhere and somewhat difficult to obtain. I enjoyed BC back in the day and I even had BC Christmas Special on video tape. When I got the game for my C64, I eventually got good that I could do first 4 levels practically blindfolded. I didn't know of the sequel until after I got internet and tried playing it in emulator but it's rather long and challenging.

Dirty contacts in the connector? Do you have another Lynx system or know someone nearby with a Lynx to test your SD card? "Insert game" message comes up if the Lynx can't detect valid game code at power on.

Got notification in email from eBay saved searches, one SGM popped up at very low starting bid with BIN of $90. Within 12 hours it's up to about $125 and still has under 6 more days left. Is the Colecovision printing that valuable since OPCode isn't using Colecovision logo anymore?
