  1. Well let this be my formal request then, lol. I'm unable to emulate, so my only chance to place this would be on a physical cartridge. I would love to review it in my Retro Gaming Nook? Congrats on your first development?
  2. Love the label art. I will definitely be interested in the physical copy. Are there any loose cartridges being produced or are they all boxed versions? I'm more of a player than a collector so I don't necessarily need a boxed version. Either way, I will definitely want a copy
  3. Wait, so you gave permission for people to create cartridges of it but you don't want people to sell it? I'm confused,..... Only because if I wanted a cartridge of it, I would have to get a custom one made (probably at AtariAge) and it would cost me around $30. So in a way, AtariAge would be selling it to me. I'm literally just being devil's advocate right now, just trying to understand. so what's the difference in me having to spend $30 to get a cartridge made at AtariAge, or spending $30 to buy one that was made on an Etsy shop? or are you only given permission for people to use the bin file to make cartridges to the people that have the ability to make their own cartridges? I feel like not many people actually have the capabilities of making their own cartridge and would have to ask someone else to do it for them anyways. That's why AtariAge offers the service of custom carts (as long as the developer gives permission). I guess something must have been lost in translation. I for one am glad that people actually create cartridges four homebrews. I don't have a computer or any sort of emulator, so the only way I'm able to enjoy some of these new hacks and homebrews is if someone puts it on a cartridge for me.
  4. So hopefully a 2020 release? Thanks Scott. I have been hoping it wasn't forgotten about. I know you have a lot on your plate right now.
  5. Any word on a physical release yet?
  6. Awesome, I hope this will "bee" available on cartridge sometime.
  7. I have noticed that to. It seems as though the speaker vents that were cut towards the front were done on the earlier systems. Per original design if speakers were put in, the sound was be directed directly towards the players. They might of changed the direction later on (cutting the vents towards the back) to make the vents a little less noticable since they weren't being used. When looking at the machine head on, you can't even really see the speaker vents that were cut from the back. Since most people had their Atari facing out into the room, cutting the holes to the back would hide it a little. They eventually got rid of the speaker vents all together. I have a few late model for switchers that have no speaker vent holes.
  8. I'm looking for the first Alien Greed Homebrew for the Atari 2600.
  9. I know this is a old feed but I want to add my input, just in case someone might find it useful in the future. I had this exact same problem. I had a crystal clear picture, but the sound was just static. I had to adjust the Audio Choke as well as minor adjustments to the RF choke. After finessing back and forth for about 10 minutes I got everything perfectly adjusted. Great picture and great sound
  10. To make things more confusing.... I have 2 Sunnyvale 4 switchers. Both have the standard 4 switch bases. Both also have the 3 digit hot stamps above the label. One has a service label and one doesn't. They both have different color variation bezel faceplates. The one with the darker orange color bezel border has orange characters (letters) for the switches. The lighter colored one has yellow characters for the switches.
  11. Here is another 4 Switch Woody that is a Sunnyvale model. It seems that all the Sunnyvale 4 switch models have the hot stamp on them as well.
  12. As long as it's not a PAL version, I will be totally interested in a production run.
  13. Lol.... The marble carpet sure did hide everything. Not sure if that meant the carpet always look dirty, or always looked clean? The chair my father actually garbage picked in 1983. Then he paid almost $400 in 1983 to get the chair reupholstered. So I guess that means this is most likely a early 70s chair with early 80s upholstery...lol Anyways, thanks for the kind words. It really was a fun build
  14. I have a 4 switch Woody..... Sunnyvale label with 202 engraved on it. I also have a Sunnyvale light sixer with 169
  15. Put this on a Cartridge so I can add it to my Holiday Atari Collection?
  16. I just used enamel based hobby paint (like you would do for painting plastic models). I used "Testors" brand but there are other brands out there. Then I used a really small paint brush. I used Q-tips and tooth picks to help clean up edges during and after the paint dried. This was really my first attempt. It's not perfect, but it turned out pretty darn good for my first try. ..Brad
  17. I spent this last year trying to make a Holiday Atari. I love all the Christmas homebrews/hacks that have been released over the years. Unfortunately, I don't own a computer so the only way I can play these is if I can have a physical cartridge. Hopefully, more ROMs will eventually make it to cartridge. I know there's a bunch more holiday themed games out there?. Thanks for checking out my photos...Merry Christmas peeps.
  18. Yeah I don't have the ability to make a cart. But AtariAge will usually do one-off carts for members (just click on "custom cartridge") if they Supply the ROM and label artwork (as well as permission from the programmer) These are not AtariAge store releases but rather AtariAge making one Custom Cart for the individual. I unfortunately don't have a computer in my house. So I'm unable to play any ROMs on a device (cart only)☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️ I know I should really get with the times and buy a computer, but actually my kids don't really need computers in school yet. Our school district provides every child their own Chromebook up until they graduate high school. Awesome hack regardless buddy. Maybe I'll still reach out and find someone who's willing to make me a cart...Thanks?
  19. I believe I need permission from Mike Haas (the programmer) first before AA creates any carts
  20. I would love to have this on Cartridge. Can someone help me out on this? Merry Christmas
  21. This is great news....can't wait to play?
  22. Would you be willing to sell your copy...lol. Just kidding, I already know the answer to that ?
  23. Hey, I paid for (pre-ordered) 2 copies of Knabber Rob for the 2600 back in May. I just noticed your taking orders for Muncher Mouse right now.

     

    It's been 5 months and I haven't heard anything yet. Is Knabber Rob still happening?

     

    Edit: just saw your recent Facebook post. Sound like your abandoning the project. It's unfortunate, there may be a chance to get more people interested with some more advertisement through atariage.

     

    Anyway if it's not happening, when should I expect my reimbursement?

      Hello Skwrl63.

       

      You should have been reimbursed by now. We made all the reimbursements this last 24hours.

       

      Again, accept my personnal apologies. I know it's very annoying to pay for something and to believe we'll never get the product. I sincerely hope you'll forget this problem.

      Regarding Muncher Mouse or other books/games it's true. As I am back from the funerals of my father, Côté Gamers is fully operational again.

       

       

  24. You have to adjust for size comparison as well. The 4 switch Woody would be about 2-3 times the size of the new Atari Box. The Atari box will be like the SNES Mini....lol
