We currently have no JLP boards but are working on getting some made. Until then, there are no more copies of A-F available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not too forward to ask,what prompted this choice? Too many limited editions of limited games perhaps or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SoulBuster Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Ok, I guess some explanation is needed . . . I have been an Atari 8-bit user since 1981. There has been a concerted effort to Preserve the software in its original form (check at A8SP). This means we can take the original software, digitize it in such a manner that, with newer tech attached, original hardware can read and utilize it in this digitized form. This would include any copy protection that was originally on the software. In addition, these digitized version can be written back to the original type of storage (cart, tape, disk) it first came on to make "original copies" with the copy protection in place, AND real hardware cannot tell the difference. I want to be a part of that! There are nearly 9600 releases and we only have nearly 6100 dumps, per A8SP. I do not know if all of those dumps are raw dumps, but that is what is needed to truly preserve the title. I have all of the hardware to preserve anything that was made for the Atari 8-bit. I have a pile of money to put forth on a hobby, I am choosing this. If you want to check my progress, I am posting anything I record in this thread. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I understand having to limit collecting to fit a buget of both money and time. Hell, even space comcerns for that matter. So I wish you luck on your new focus Tim! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I love the Atari 8-bit. I have an upgraded 400, upgraded 600xl, upgraded 800xl and a stock 130xe. Also have a few of the gadgets you can plug in or solder on to them. It was the bad MT Ram chips in my 130xe that made me take up the soldering iron which now allowed me to save a few Intellivision's. I wish you luck with this project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Ok,that makes perfect sense! Narrowing and limiting your focus becomes important while you are collecting as the choices are never ending. And that is still a very large focus area,certainly way bigger than collecting for the Intellivision. I wish you all the best in your endeavor, and thank you for allowing us to follow along!😊👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy! I've been capturing the magnetic flux off of Apple ][ discs for a while now. I buy the discs, open up the disc jacket, carefully slide the disc out, scrape off all the magnetic flux with a razor blade, and store the flux in a preservation jar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to slip on the edge of the toilet, while hanging a clock in the bathroom, and hit his head on the sink to come up with the idea first.
