homerwannabee Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 So from my google search on the 2732. It seems that this chip is cheaper than the 2532. Would this indicate that this was made by a pirate company? By the way any new info? Is this a NTSC or a PAL or a M-Pal game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well this is what we get. Hopefully the Question will finally be Answered LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I GIVE YOU THE CHIP INSIDE THE CART of THE GREATEST ATARI 2600 LEGEND EVER KNOWN! (Cough cough beside the 1 million ET carts somewhere in Mexico ) Interesting, they are feeding two lines into the EPROM, I wonder why. BTW, that is a Hitachi made chip.

Because if it's PAL than it's nowhere near the rarest PAL game out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why most US collectors go all whoopy about it, is that it uses the NTSC color palette, but technically speaking it's a PAL game (290 scanlines). And not even one of the rarest.

jahfish Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i've talked to a few mexican collectors which think this is a PAL-M cart from south america ... maybe it is a proto/unfinished game that was found in the US and then taken to brazil where it was reproduced ... it wouldnt be the first unfinished game that was "released" there ... i know donald and a few others were released in brasil ... "release" is a very relative term for south america anyway: many videogame rentals did make their own copies with an eprom burner and just slapped a label onto their generic cartridge shells. Polivox was the only official company with a licence to release Atari/Activision products. but there has been many other companies that started as a "pirate company" and then produced their own unique hardware (and possibly software as well). For a better understanding of the situation down there, you need to know that f.e brasil had a law prohibiting the import of consoles from USA, but you could get a licence from the government to build your own consoles and games, and for that you didn't have to respect foreign copyright laws. so many many different casings have been produced there and therefore i believe that there was quite a big market for cartridge shells ... maybe the blue ones were just a test run from a casing company ...

jahfish Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 hey rom, i'm not sure if this is all correct ... let me doublecheck if the casing of the other games is all the same... or did i mention this when uploading the pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) CPUWIZ, Is that 2732 chip more common on (brazilian) pirate carts? Do these appear often? Edited November 6, 2008 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Dracon Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Nope, Air Raid isn't brazilian. I never saw T case here, and never saw one Air Raid cart, T case or not. Probably it's taiwanese or from hong kong. In Brasil PAL-M TV had 262 scanlines (NTSC resolution). But in asia, I think they uses PAL.

CPUWIZ Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 CPUWIZ, Is that 2732 chip more common on (brazilian) pirate carts? Do these appear often? Yes, Brazillian carts are notorious for having EPROM's inside them, also found in Apollo and Spectravision, as well as every TXCSM and Halloween and several other ones randomly. It actually proves nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
