When I bought my 600xl, it had a bad SALLY chip and I'd wager that the ingot power supply it came with was the cause. You should steer clear of any power supply that is enclosed within an epoxy and plastic coffin because they WILL go bad and take your computer with it. The XEGS power supply works fine, but I've since built a USB power cord and never looked back.

Nintendo finally brought back F-Zero...as a battle royale game. It's surprising not as dumb as it sounds, in fact, I find F-Zero 99 to be really addicting. Does anyone else on here play this game? Do you think Nintendo is going to do more with F-Zero now that F-Zero 99 is introducing more people to the franchise?

Got my Purple Pi Eater in today. Now I need to get a cartridge board to put it in. Where did you guys order your PCBs?

Can anyone recommend me a good replacement screen for a Game Boy Pocket? The polarizer on mine seems to be coming apart at the middle.

Also, to whom is he rambling to?
Probably to people like me who keep looking at these threads out of morbid curiosity.

How much did you pay? Cause I paid less for my PBC converter than many of my games. $60
I payed around $10 for Choplifter and $19 for the PBC.

Bought a homebrew Power Base Converter and Choplifter because Master Systems and official converters are too expensive these days.

Good news everybody.
I think we can all finally retire in comfort!
I think I have a bunch of those in a drawer somewhere. Better get cracking!

I've played through Pikmin 3 Deluxe on the Switch and have the first Pikmin on the Wii. So far I've gotten to the part in 4 where you can go on night expeditions. I definitely like how you can upgrade your character and buy items and how the game feels less linear than Pikmin 3. The dandori battles remind me of Herzog Zwei.

Bought a second round of games a few days ago with Pac-Man Collection HOKEY version and Astro Blaster. I also bought Starfire and Draconian today since they were still available and I still had some money left in my budget.

I was looking at my Star Ship gate-fold box when I noticed this bit of text on the side of the back.
First of all, I didn't know that the box was Canadian. Second, who is Paragon Entertainment Products Inc? I did a bit of Googling and the closest thing I found was this:
https://www.avid.wiki/Paragon_Entertainment_Corporation
I have no clue if Paragon Entertainment Products and Paragon Entertainment Corporation are related. I found another company named Paragon Entertainment, but this one were founded in 1981 in Toronto, so they may be completely separate firms. Does anyone know anything else about this company? Also, does anyone else have boxes with this blurb on the back?

I hope everyone tries or has tried it. Destroys the older release.
Once I played this version, I could never go back to the older cartridge release. It gets even better when you play it with a trak-ball.

Not only does it not have battery save or passwords, it also has limited continues!
You can get more continues by completing levels without losing a life or by spelling PLOK. The problem is not only does that get really hard to do in the later levels, but also using a continue sets you back to the level you obtained it. I would love to get a physical copy of Plok for the music alone, but I'd just end up playing it on my RetroPi so I can save my progress.

All it says is "copyright 1982." I'd like to know who made it.
According to this ad from Run Magazine, the company who made Quick Brown Fox is literally just called The Quick Brown Fox Company.

First time buying homebrew from the store, so I mostly stuck with some of the popular choices. The games I bought were Baby Pac-Man, Crazy Balloon, and Colony 7 Trak-Ball version. It's kind of strange how the trak-ball version of Colony 7 is slightly cheaper than the regular version.

Can't forget Quarxon.

I'm certainly looking forward to this. I've been looking for a cheap multicart solution for a long time.

Extra components get in the way of that goal. And if they don't last forever, it doesn't matter so much when the parts cost less than five pounds.
Maybe you could make the voltage regulator an optional part for those who want to "bullet-proof" their PicoCart?

No! The games have actually a lot in common but they have a rather different gameplay and goal. I love both games, but the more simple concept of Enduro has always been something that I missed a lot on a8.
I've always considered The Great American Cross-Country Road Race to be a sequel to Enduro. They have so much in common that it makes me wonder why they didn't just call it Enduro 2?

There's also Atari 'Toons. Although, ATASCII Animator is probably more advanced considering Atari 'Toons is a BASIC type-in program.

Hi, I was learning Atari 8-bit assembly from Atari Roots and I wrote this joystick test program just to see how I'd do at assembly programming. It's nothing much, it changes the color of the border when you move the joystick and it changes the color of the playfield when you press the fire button. Feel free to look at the source code and tell me what you think.

Did you guys get them from Dreamcastlive? They always look like they are sold out. A weekend PSO grind on hard mode with other players would be sweet...
They're not hard to make yourself. I built mine before I even knew how to solder. If you use a 5v usb arduino power cable in place of the 9v battery, then you can power your line voltage inducer through your pi.

Star Raiders 2600 - RU a fan of this conversion?
in Atari 2600
Posted
When I was a kid and had Atari Greatest Hits on the Nintendo DS and Atari Anthology on the PS2, Star Raiders was one of my favorite 2600 games...then I got a 2600 jr. off of Ebay and discovered Starmaster. The 2600 version of Star Raiders isn't bad, just simple. I wish they did more with the galactic map other than using it to make quick pitstops like the 8-bit original did. Also, why did they make the video touch pad for Star Raiders when the controller works the same as the keyboard controller?
