+Propane13 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I was just wondering if anyone here has any 7800 lab-loaners or "in-development" carts. This is your opportunity to brag! -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip_Cannon Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I found one while dumpster diving outside Atari back in the early 90's... It's scratched as all hell and all I can make out is the letters ELE and COP... hmm, wonder what it means... haven't tested it yet.. Lately I've been using it as a garden shovel...

DracIsBack Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Hii own protos of Xevious,Dig Dug,Pole Position and Food Fight I always thought the Warner era ones were likely going to be far easier to find. That Jack was so tight-wadded that Tramiel-era 7800 protos are among the rarest thing to find among all video game consoles. and the bin file of a never released 7800 cartridge.greetings gambler172 Do tell ...

Tempest Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I have a few: Karateka, Midnight Mutants, GATO, Hat Trick, and Desert Falcon (I think, I'll have to check on that one). Are the Xevious, Dig Dug, Pole Position and Food Fight protos any different than the final releases? I'd love to review them for my page.

gambler172 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi and i forgot a 7800 Diagnostic Cartridge,which is different from version 1.0 and i own the prototype of a released 2600 game,but it only runs correctly on a 7800. greetings gambler172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Propane13 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 I'd be very interested to know some info about that diagnostic cart version. You may or may not know, but I did a disassembly of it a long time ago: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~harvey/7800/diag.html Lots of cool secrets and codes are buried inside. Do you have a manual for it, by chance (and maybe the plugs)? -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to use an older OS like Win98 or even better DOS 6.22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I'm not sure what most of that converstion was about but if you don't have an older PC, it might be easier to use a Windows 98/DOS boot floopy. If you PC doesn't have a floppy drive you can also format a USB flash drive with Windows 98/DOS. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edweird13 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I have a iso of dos 6.22 that can be burned to CD. Then you can boot to the cd it is not very big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with that is where will he save his files, the hard drive is probably NTFS and not accesible from DOS. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Propane13 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Can we figure out a way to help gambler172? Are there other ways to dump such things? For example, does anyone have a crappy old laptop that would work with the dev system? Maybe if it was light enough, we could find something like that to help out. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
