supercat Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 A 2600 version that only works on the 7800. How is it different functionally from the 2600 version in the AA database? The first bank is nearly identical in both; the second bank seems to have three bytes more code in the "7800" cart. The third bank is similar but with some byte values changed (six consecutive occurrences of $44 become $34; four $06 become $0A; ten $F8 become $E8). The fourth bank seems to have six more bytes of code in the AA-database cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game itself is not any different. I kind of surprised it's generated this kind of response, I've had the ROM sitting on my computer for probably 7 or 8 years. I guess I never posted it before.

Artlover Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) 405 in 3 hours. I suspect these downloads aren't comming from Atariage. Must be linked somewhere or on a search engine (not google, yet anyways). I'm sure Al could look at the logs and find out where the hits are comming from.

+Random Terrain Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 405 in 3 hours. Yeah, you'd think with all of those downloads that there would be at least 100 'thank you' posts. People are so inconsiderate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Atari 7800 games have MARIA graphics by definition. This game does not have MARIA graphics, but TIA graphics. This is not a 7800 game. Thanks for sharing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a 7800 game. Thanks for sharing though. It only runs on the 7800, it's using a 7800 pcb, 7800 RAM,ect,ect. But thats cool, I'll just be sure to make a off comment next time you get a game that isn't dumped for the public and post it for everyone.

But thats cool, I'll just be sure to make a off comment next time you get a game that isn't dumped for the public and post it for everyone. Easy now. I'm actually quite grateful that you shared. When I first read the post, I probably got over-excited thinking "A 7800 version of this has been found????" Knowing how unusual it is to find a lost 7800 game, I was probably over-pumped about it. I am really thankful you shared. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats cool, I'll just be sure to make a off comment next time you get a game that isn't dumped for the public and post it for everyone. I'm sort of confused here. Is the only reason you posted this rom was so that everyone would thank you for it? If so, thanks but no thanks. People release things to be nice, not for the thanks they get (or more often than not don't get). Heck, many of us release these things anonymously. I'm also not sure what the big fuss about this rom is about. This is a hacked version of Saved Mary that will run on 7800 boards, correct? How is this more useful than the 2600 rom that's out there other than to the handfull of people who might burn it to an EPROM and then to a homemade 7800 board? Still, it's nice that it's out there. Sorry if I sound harsh, but your attitude (6 DOWNLOADS IN LIKE 5 MINS AND NOT ONE THANKS?) has really turned me off. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariRocks Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 If you're doing this stuff just to get a pat on the back you should probably change your priorities, especially for a rom I've basically already got because I'll go ahead and assume this doesn't play any different.
