Scott Stilphen Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Word on the street is AA got these a few weeks ago, so naturally I must ask 'the' question - when will the roms be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Oh you kiddin me? Pleiades? I know someone who'll go nuts to hear that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Oh you kiddin me? Pleiades? I know someone who'll go nuts to hear that. Yeah, there will be some major flipping out when someone reads that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Unfortunately Pleiades and Funky Fish are 8K games that use yet another new backswitching method, and we haven't been able to dump them yet. We are currently working on them and we will be releasing the ROMs after we work out the technical issues. Emulators will probably also need to be updated to support them. We did dump Cat Trax (which is a 4K game) and it's identical to the version already out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I'm sure we will get them figured out in the near future, and they will definitely be available for download here on AtariAge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I trust that the Cuttle Cart software will be upgraded to support this new bankswitching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted October 25, 2002 Author Share Posted October 25, 2002 Cool. I'm especially looking forward to Pleiades (one of my fav arcade games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I trust that the Cuttle Cart software will be upgraded to support this new bankswitching? I'm not exactly sure what that entails, but we will certainly work with Chad or whoever is necessary and provide them with the proper information.

CPUWIZ Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I was under the impression that the CuttleCart bankswitching logic(s) were on the custom IC inside the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I was under the impression that the CuttleCart bankswitching logic(s) were on the custom IC inside the cart. You're right, I believe. Unless these two games are modified to use an already known 8K bankswitching method, then it's unlikely that the Cuttle Cart will be able to run them. However, I'm sure existing emulators can be modified pretty easily to support them. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Does the source of these ROM images have to remain nameless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Rest assured folks, there are valid reasons as to why the ROMS are not available yet. They will be posted here when the technical issues are dealt with. I'm sure all of you would not want this to be rushed, these are one of a kind items and they don't want any damage to come to them. Also the emulators will have to be updated to support them, as they use a different bankswitching scheme. When all this is sorted out I'm sure you will see them here. Remember all the other ROMS AtariAge has brought us in the past. Have patience and you will be rewarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
