[Only get a yellow screen on my 800]

BUT, I figure the only way those pins could have been bent under was from someone removing them and bending the pins upon reinsertion, so, now, I think it might be a possibility (taken into account the obviously ameturish tamptering) that the rom chips have been inserted into the incorrect sockets and I'm now in need of a schematic or picture of the 800 10K ram board to see if this is the case. I hope so.

 

Heh, most likely they took the good chips out of your machine to put in another 800. and then they shoved the bad ones in carelessly.

 

 

Anyway, the chips from bottom of the board (closest to the connector) are CO14599, CO12499 and CO12399.

 

HTH

[Only get a yellow screen on my 800]

I hope it's not a OS or ram problem

 

Well, I hate to tell you, but thats usually what causes a green or yellow screen. The ram is normally easy to diagnose. Just boot with one card at a time. If none work, then its highly unlikely all are bad as you say. The OS is 3 chips IIRC.

My old high school Deutche is good enough for the gist of it. CPUWIZ says he would dump them. Rudolphy replies no way he will risk sending them overseas. Wiz then suggests Stolberg in Hamburg will do it. Carey85 says congrats on the find.

[Strange Easter Egg in MULE]

Isn't a jump to $C000 the Omnimon addr?

Sounds right. It also makes sense. Didn't Trip Hawkins complain bitterly about copying and Omnimon-type mods? EA might have put some protection in there.

[Back in Business! Yeah!]

. If it's cheap, like $20-$25 then It becomes an option, but I'm not going to pay more than that just so I can play something I ALREADY have a little bit faster...

 

$25 for 1Mbit or $40 for the 8Mbit. You need the larger one for Ultima.

Is Tom Hunt still around? Anyone have a valid email address for him?

 

I'd like to do some work on ATOS if he will release the source code for the libraries...

He recently added something to his "Closer to Home" website after three years.

[8 Bit Qix...Ugh!]

True the official 8bit versions are pretty bad. However, all of the 5200 versions are also available. Most of you know this, but for the newly interested in the 8bit, the mysterious "Glenn the 5200 man" converted them years ago. You can get them here:

[5200 or Atari 8-bit]

The amount of games for the 8bit is staggering as the guys at http://www.atarimania.com/ are proving. Thought I knew most of what was available back in the day, but now see hundreds that I never even heard of.

If there are two Anteaters, then its a good price, believe or not.

[5200 titles?]

Heh, was thinking it was a 5200 title.

[5200 titles?]

micro gammon - ever heard of it?

 

Maybe...

I should have known where to check first What about http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8175414198&rd=1 ? A new one?

[5200 titles?]

anybody see the 5200 proto on eBay?

[Anyone with a load of 800 disk menu games?]

He means that after everyone pirated all the software. They put multiple programs on one disk with a menu system. Various menu progs were available.

[Atari 8-bit cart values]

There are 300+ carts for the 8bit. Only about 200 are games. Of those the 80-20 rule applies. 150 or more are easy to obtain and under $15 for a loose cart. About 40 titles are scarce. None of the ones you mention are in the rare group. Beamrider may go closer to $15, while K-razy titles are in the lower range. However, as Deathtrap indicates, anything can happen on eBay.

[Synapse - Protector II on the 800XL?]

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/atari-8-bit/faq/s...section-59.html

[Utility cart acquired- Edit 6502 - heard of it?]

Very rare. Congrats! I believe it was originally on disk, but they burned some cartridges. I'll wager that it is an eprom. Synassembler from Synapse is similar. Only a few carts are known. Mainly, I think because the carts were very expense. IIRC, the program was discussed by Mark Chasin in his classic assembler language book available at the Atari Archives.

[XE version of Mario Brothers has stalagtites.]

Loved this one. Almost perfect. In some of the higher levels when things really get hectic, there is somewhat of slow down. Too much stuff on the screen? Zoned out on it a couple of times and reached somewhere around level 35-40. Can't remember exactly.

[2600 games ported to the 8-bit computers?]

All those Sirius games (Worm War I. Fast Eddie, Turmoil, Fantastic Voyage etc) were apparently just the 6502 code from the 2600 game with minimal adaptation to the A8. If nothing else, its bad for the programmers like David Lubar who did such a fine job on the 2600 to have their names attached to what is essentially a hack.

[8-Bit Prototype Information Needed!]

I'd consider Mogul Maniac as an Amiga prototype as the game was never released by that company

 

I am with you so far.

 

... but Romox bought the rights to the program

 

This is the part that I have been unable to confirn. Is it listed in any ROMOX catalog or literature?
