Would go nice with those modded jag controllers of yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubledown Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 The 12 seconds is garbage and I can't wait. I hate that stupid title screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubledown Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I did the same Intro Skip mod on the 7800 I use to have. Except with that one you didn't have to press a button, it just bypassed the screen all together. That BIOS also had the onboard Asteroids ROM (like the European consoles if I'm not mistaken) so if the unit was powered without a cartridge inserted, Asteroids would load. I wish I knew how to program at all, I'd like to have Donkey Kong as an onboard ROM for the ColecoVision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces and eights always split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubledown Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm just saying that I thought the PAL 7800s had the onboard Asteroids ROM, whereas the NTSC units didn't. Can anybody confirm this? The Skip Bios/Astroids Rom upgrade I did was on an NTSC 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubledown Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 So there were no PAL 7800 consoles that had Asteroids as a built in ROM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubledown Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 That's what I was asking confirmation about: The fact that PAL 7800 consoles had Asteroids as an onboard ROM. The place where I got the original Intro Skip /Asteroids Rom BIOS indicated that PAL consoles had Asteroids as an onboard ROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
