[C64 RPGs]

There's Unknown Realm for C64, it was up on Kickstarter and passed but the game is still not yet finished or released: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stirringdragongames/unknown-realm-an-8bit-rpg-for-pc-and-commodore-64

 

I am still waiting.

[The Official Turbografx 16 Thread!]

Nitpick, there is no 6 players multiplayer for TG-16 and PCE. 5 is max supported players using 5 port tap.

[So, why isn't the Lynx more popular?]

I think it's more that Gameboy was cheap. Portable game systems back in the day were more likely to be played by kids and average kids would prefer cheaper Gameboy over pricier Lynx and Game Gear (and very pricey Turboexpress). Battery life were measured in several hours up to around 30 for Gameboy vs about 4-6 for color systems.

[Weird Lynx-II repair. Has anyone seen this before?]

Hi Everyone, the color pattern appears to be brown - yellow- blue - red. which makes it a weird resistor since typical resistors only have 3 bands.

 

Typical resistors have 4 bands with the 4th being tolerance. There's 5 band resistors that have higher precision but it's not commonly used in consumer goods.

 

Assuming the red band is for tolerance, 2% then brown-yellow-blue would be 14Mohm. But if the tolerance band is brown (1%) then red-blue-yellow is 260k

 

You will need to desolder one leg to properly measure it.

[Zaku for the Atari Lynx: Official thread]

All the more reason to appreciate Zaku I have in my hand.

[Atari Jaguar to 5200 Controller Adapter Project]

It is all-or-nothing movement. Games like Pac Man and Pitfall works wonderfully with digital controller but games like Kaboom and Missile Command would suck because you can't travel in between positions.

[What were YOUR first 5200 cartridges when you first got your system?]

I think it was 1998 when I got my first 5200, it came with a few games. The first game I played was Qix.

[Sold]

Me too.... it'd mean I'd have to give up my Duo-R with modified 32k save RAM (16 pages, no need for Tennokoe Bank card or deleting good saves)

[Wyvern Tales]

Paid and waiting with bated breath!

[commodore 1702- no sound]

Check for loose speaker wires, cracked or bad solder joint on volume control, speaker connection, and audio in jacks and clean volume control pot.

 

Also is there a headphone sound out? It's been a while since I looked at 1702 but I recall some Commodore monitors having sound out that disables internal speakers, if it's gone bad or has something plugged in.

[New Commodore 128 for 64 case]

With or without built in disk drive? The few 128 games I have loads pretty dang fast vs C64 mode with anemic serial transfer.

[What Intellivision games would you like to see ported on 7800?]

AD&D Cloudy Mountains can be made to work. The tricky part is the shooting, how would you shoot sideway while running?

[Wyvern Tales]

Been away for a while, I got email about ordering this. I sent my response with my address, payment method, and wanted just one, was I supposed to get invoice or something? For one to Michigan

[Jaguar console wanted]

 

Did you end up winning the auction?

 

Wasn't an auction. I hit BIN and paid.

[Brand New Atari Jaguar Pro Controllers- For Sale!]

Since the console mod involves wiring up +5v, I'm guessing not...without adding an external power source.

 

This.

[Brand New Atari Jaguar Pro Controllers- For Sale!]

 

Can I buy some or are you offering for sale? Please let me know as I would love to get these adapters out there.

 

I only got naked PCB board. I could program the chip and wire up the port if I have spare parts. You need 1 or 2 ports? The adapter can work with Intellivision, Intellivision 3, Tandyvision, Sears Arcade, and Sylvaniavision with the pass through connector for original controller, all you'd need is to wire in 5v and ground off the power supply's 5v regulator. Intellivision 2 requires more extensive mod because they don't have the same 9-pin inline connector.

[Nothing for sale currently, just saying hi :)]

Miss him and missed a chance at getting a nice one for my room.

[Jaguar console wanted]

$250 for one working with 2 controllers and 5 games: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 152842908636? Guess I don't need this wanted post anymore

[Jaguar console wanted]

Wanted to play but never had a working console. eBay seems to be going over $100 for working console shipped. If you have a naked working console and in USA I'd like to buy one at reasonable price. If you have a small lot with controller and few games I'd be cool.

[Brand New Atari Jaguar Pro Controllers- For Sale!]

Update. Naively will work with the Atari Jaguar, Atari ST2, Atari Falcon. With an adapter it will work on the Atari 2600, Atari 8-Bit, Atari ST and Atari 5200 systems. I am working on expanding the available adapters for these for other systems as well

 

I've made adapter that works on Intellivision. Because of convoluted matrix, I ended up using Atmega328 to translate keypad and buttons from Jaguar to Intellivision.

[Brand New Atari Jaguar Pro Controllers- For Sale!]

Quick question since I am planning to buy 2, are the extra 3 buttons mapped to pin row 6, column 1, 2, and 3 according to the pinout: http://arcarc.xmission.com/Web%20Archives/Deathskull%20%28May-2006%29/games/tech/jagcont.html?? Reason is I can update my Jaguar adapter to account for the Pro buttons and make them work like SAC for Colecovision. The standard 3 button layout meant I had to map the 4th color button to Option or Pause which is a bit further away and slightly inconvenient for my thumb when playing a Super Action enabled game.

 

 

right, it uses the 15 pin cable

 

Same as VGA design but I wouldn't trust VGA cable for extension use. Some cheap one may be wired only for RGBHV and ground. Better cable usually have 14 wires, pin 7 are often not wired at all. Jaguar controller will not work at all with any of those cheap cables.

 

AFAIK no common standard outside of Atari uses HDB-15 connector with all wired through except for pin 5, 8, and 15, and I haven't found a supplier that do have all 15 wires done through.

[Rubber feet creep!]

I swear every time I look under the console when I dust my stuff, at least one of the console's feet had somehow moved around. Just now my Intellivision 2's feet somehow moved sideway almost 4 inches from original spot. Before that, the feet off my Commodore 1541 somehow ended up under my Commodore 128D. My 128D had not moved for a few years and the feet was on the disk drive when I dusted them last a year ago.

 

Some older joystick controllers like NES Advantage also have the feet creep. Any suggestion or idea? Gremlins moving it around? And what's usually a good replacement brand that I can get to replace feet that has gotten lost or the glue no longer works?

[The Official Turbografx 16 Thread!]

Wonder if I can get one without the EXT connector soldered in? If it plays everything, I could take the old card slot out of my PCE, remove rear EXT connector, connect the new board directly in there with pin spacer so the chips won't touch other chips, and keep it all inside the tiny console? Route the video out through the RF hole, make a slot for SD card, and I put a FS sign on my Duo-R console.

[LTO FLASH CARTS with PayPal Still available.]

Requesting one, sent PM. Waiting for payment info.

[2017 portable, can't use SD card]

Yes. I used SD formatter and got 512MB to work. I downloaded the game folder posted elsewhere since I'm too lazy to properly rename all files with proper cap or unzip 400 files.
