Jaynz Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Sadly 7800 carts have gone up in price around here - for the few places that still have any of them. Early-run 2600 carts they're practically giving away, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Sadly 7800 carts have gone up in price around here - for the few places that still have any of them. Early-run 2600 carts they're practically giving away, though. I can use "early-run 2600 carts" as well, if you can get them inexpensively and they are in good condition! This includes silver-label carts. Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have only 1 2-spring cart, and that's a 1986 E.T. Wish I could help. I have dupes of Defender, Bezerk, Star Raiders, Pac Man... First picture labels. But only a measly dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosystemsearch Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Imagine, Versions of Food fight and Rampage for the 7800 XM. :D The POKEY sound, the increased capacity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosystemsearch Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 the 7800 XM: Basically a 32X for the 7800 prosystem, only GOOD :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 the 7800 XM: Basically a 32X for the 7800 prosystem, only GOOD :D :D No its not anything like 32x we went thru this as well.. its hsc, 128ram, pokey, yahmaha sound chip. NOT an entirely different system like so many people keep claiming and being wrong about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yes, plus they will all be consistent in quality, and I can have "AtariAge" embossed on the back. They will use the same size labels as Atari's shells, and also work with standard Atari-size PCBs. They will not have any holes under the label surfaces (unlike 7800 and later 2600 carts). I probably will keep the screw under the main label. ..Al I really cannot like this status enough. This is just fantastic news, all of it and your last post, too! You know how I feel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Indeed, this is excellent news! Recycling old shells may be environmentally friendly, but with the exception of retrofitting old boards with new ROMs, it's always been the most cumbersome part of the cartridge-creating process. It will be so great to see new 2600 and 7800 cartridges made with all-new components! Are you thinking of making different colors, or sticking with basic black? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, there are going to be games that will not work without the XM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 ...simple comparison to the 32X. They compare quite differently in what they provide to their respective system : Sega 32X - Adds two 32-bit RISC processors with a new 3D GPU to the 16-bit Sega Genesis. 7800 XM - Conglomerate of cartridge based hardware additions/functions; the 6502C processor @1.19-1.79MHz and default MARIA graphics of the 7800 remains the same. Noteworthy too is the XM pales in comparison to the quantity and scope of hardware enhancements that Nintendo provided for the NES. Without them, only ~10% of the entire library of games would run on the base hardware alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldenWheels Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 A) When I have labels printed B) When manuals are printed C) When a limited number of boxes for each game are printed D) When I have enough 7800 cart shells, which I certainly do not right now. I'm working on a large order for A) and B) above, just waiting on a few more assets for other new games to be completed. This is the same situation with the boxes. As for D, well, that's a more difficult problem. I've started talking to some knowledgable people about getting AtariAge 2600/7800 cartridge shells made. ..Al Albert--Will non boxed versions be sold of all the games (stupid q I bet but you know what they say about assuming...)? If so, will they be simultaneously for sale or are you going to want to sell out the boxed ones first? I really have no interest in paying for a box (beautiful as they are) but have great interest in getting the games (Astro Blaster especially) themselves. I just bought a 7800 lot to get Dark Chambers at a decent price, which also allowed me to replace my defective Asteroids cart and get a picture label PP2 as opposed to the white label (why that mattered to me I dunno). Plus it had a Choplifter dup in the lot. As soon as I receive them I'll have 3 extra 7800 shells if you want them. I am happy to drop them in the mail for you gratis, they are of no worth to me, just lmk. Also (said firmly tongue in cheek) if you could get these out sometime by around late July so I can sell the purchases to the wife as a birthday present for myself, that would be swell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, there are going to be games that will not work without the XM. Haha. This is true, though it's philosophically along the lines of 1980s cartridge enhancements. It doesn't give the 7800 new twin processors or video hardware to try and make the 7800 a 16-bit system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
