sqoon Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 What's interesting is that if he really is Fernando, then why has the 5200 Venture port he promised never materialized? I would think he would be pedaling that ROM as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think he would be pedaling that ROM as well. The Venture project was kjmann's. Is it even finished? kjmann does not support selling his roms. If it get's ported to the 5200 it will be cart only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammR25 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I wasn't around for the Fernando saga. Could someone elaborate? tjb I'm pretty sure he got banned for what he did in the Colecovision scene. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/187319-colecovision-auction-watch/page__st__1300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'm pretty sure he got banned for what he did in the Colecovision scene. http://atariage.com/.../page__st__1300 Thanks. That explained a lot. This probably explains why he had 5200 Gauntlet for sale right after it was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's also telling that, in this JSII thread, he isn't even addressing the allegation that he and "Fernando" are one and the same, or even explaining why he was kicked off AtariAge. Instead, he's going out of his way to completely ignore those posts. If the allegation that he is "Fernando" were really false, one would think he would at least post a denial. He is peddling his warez on JS II now:http://www.jaguarsec...65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqoon Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Ya, he seems to be completely ignoring any posts questioning who he is and how he 'programs so well'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'm pretty sure he got banned for what he did in the Colecovision scene. http://atariage.com/.../page__st__1300 Albert had once misunderstood why I back up my carts. I never knew about his previous experiences with special people. I thought a real pirate would figure out how to rip the carts themselves with hand-made hardware. It boggles the mind to think someone would request Boulderdash ROMz directly. sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Fernando tried selling me a 5200 boulderdash homebrew once before around a year ago . I bought it from atari2600 site instead. Im so glad I didnt buy it from that dirtbag ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_ Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Welcome to the club. I did that too. Me too... but we didn't know and just wanted new games for our 5200 Multicarts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqoon Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 There could be some who like the guy for what he did. I mean, he did provide previously unavailable games for cheap. Not approving of what he did, but just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) We all want new games for the 5200 so don't beat yourself up over this! I think 8-bit guy should had keep with the $10.00 donations! Edited June 12, 2013 by walter_J64bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Forgetting his history for the moment, 8bit-guy should have just been up front about selling the ROMs. The way he handled it with the PM's came across as very sketchy. This hole thing about taking donations, so he doesn't have to make carts and will have more time to do conversions, doesn't make a lot of sense. And why be so secretive about it? Also, he should have given some credit to the help he was getting on these conversions instead of pretending it was all him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I think what most people forget here is Fernando/8-bit guy doesnt care what anyone of us think. He found a way to make money off doing something very simple. He will continue to pursue these types of opportunities to make money for doing nothing, its his nature. So no whining or complaining about what he is doing - he will continue to try to get carts which he can make copies of and sell. His back pocket is his only concern - not the work that others do to support the community. The best any of us can do is to not support him or his efforts. A $10 donation for what? At best he is the middle man in these transactions - at worst he is just accumulating others work and selling them for his profit. Just make others aware of his scheme and let them decide, but nothing here will change him making a quick buck off others work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Since it seems clear that Fandal did these conversions, can someone ask him if he can post them here or on his site so people can use them? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
