Trebors 7800 ROM PROPack v1_0 A tremendous thanks to RevEng for both hosting the above archive, at the phenomenal 7800.8bitdev.org site - A fantastic reference for developers and those curious of the technical aspects regarding the Atari 7800 platform - And for the awesome 7800header tool, included with 7800AsmDevKit and 7800basic. Some noteworthy points of the archive: Proper flagging for light gun, trak-ball, and paddles, which incorporates separate files for the respective controller types and regional difference when applicable. No more generic titles. Every ROM was examined and modified accordingly with an appropriate embedded name. POKEY and HSC support configured properly for the games which support them. A more detailed list of whatsnew for the archive is included in the spoiler below. WHATSNEW for HHDP_20170101:All files have had their respective header updated. Just about all have received an update to their embedded game name, modified from a generic "My Game", file path, or some other misinformation. Many needed hardware flags corrected, and there have been external file name updates as well."Trak-Ball" and "Paddles" support has been added to the header. Games that support paddles optionally, have at least two different files, more if NTSC and PAL versions exist.In addition to the above, the following is also noteworthy:-NEW: Asterix Quest (Hack)-NEW: Desert Falcon (Prototype - Harder Sphinx Bosses and HSC Support)-NEW: Hearty Manslapper-NEW: Realm of No, The (Book Cart)-NEW: Roof Pooper-NEW: Serpentine-NEW: Sprite Demo-NEW: Sprite Demo 2-UPD: 3D Maze Game-UPD: 7800 Utility Cart-UPD: Jr. Pac-Man-UPD: Ms. Pac-Man 320 (Sound Updates)-UPD: Rescue on Fractalus (Proto) (Correct Header)-UPD: Scramble (Bug Fix and Side Columns Added)WHATSNEW for Retail_v1_0:Fixed NTSC Retail Set Header issues:Ace of Aces - Player 2 controls setAlien Brigade - Double bit - two controller types setAsteroids - No HSC setBarnyard Blaster - POKEY@4000 setCentipede - No HSC setCrossbow - Double bit - two controller types setDig Dug - No HSC setF-18 - Player 2 controls setFatal Run - Player 2 controls setFood Fight - No HSC setGalaga - No HSC setImpossible Mission - Player 2 controls setJinks - Player 2 controls setJoust - No HSC setKarateka - Player 2 controls setMidnight Mutants - Player 2 controls setMs. Pac-Man - No HSC setNinja Golf - Player 2 controls setPole Position II - Player 2 controls setRobotron 2084 - No HSC SetScrapyard Dog - Player 2 controls setSuper Huey UH-IX - Player 2 controls setSuper Skateboardin' - Player 2 controls setTank Command - Player 2 controls setTomcat - The F14 Fighter Simulator - Player 2 controls setWater Ski - Player 2 controls setXevious - No HSC setFixed PAL Retail Set Header issues:Ace of Aces - Player 2 controls setAlien Brigade - Two controller types setBarnyard Blaster - Player 2 controls setChoplifter - Player 2 controls setCrack'ed - Player 2 controls setCrossbow - Double bit - two controller types setF-18 - Player 2 controls setFatal Run - Player 2 controls setImpossible Mission - Player 2 controls setJinks - Player 2 controls setKarateka - Player 2 controls setMeltdown - Player 2 controls setMidnight Mutants - Player 2 controls setMotor Psycho - Player 2 controls setNinja Golf - Player 2 controls setPole Position II - Player 2 controls setScrapyard Dog - Player 2 controls setSentinel - Player 2 controls setSuper Huey UH-IX - Player 2 controls setSuper Skateboardin' - Player 2 controls set 25 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thank you very much for the update Trebor! Your ROM pack really is the definitive Atari 7800 digital compilation and I for one sure appreciate all the work you've put into it. I'll be looking forward to trying the final versions of the Ken Sider—may he rest in peace—games as well, since I've never owned the original carts. Thank you once again and I'll look forward to seeing you in the next round of the 7800 High Score Club! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you once again and I'll look forward to seeing you in the next round of the 7800 High Score Club! Same for me, Thank you. Also, I'd like to mention the work done in the testing and fixing of the bad ROMs when compiling the PROPack. No need to hunt for good versions of ROMs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundtrooper Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Very nice update Trebor. And very timely for me. My Concerto should be showing up this week and this will be a great test. I am crossing my fingers that it works, but my 7800 Serial numbers don't lean towards a positive outcome. One can hope I guess. And if it doesn't work I have some stuff to strip some headers from and load onto my Mateos. Have 3-4 games on there that I have bought the carts for so I can free up those slots for something new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Dumb question but what does "No HSC set" mean? Does HSC mess up when the supported games are played in an emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Trebor Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Dumb question but what does "No HSC set" mean? Does HSC mess up when the supported games are played in an emulator? Short Answer: "No HSC set" means that the presence of high score saving code is not set in the header flag. However, HSC does not mess up when the supported games are played in an emulator. Detail Answer: "No HSC set" is an incorrect header setting for games that do contain high score cart (HSC) saving code (I.E. Asteroids, Centipede, Dig Dug, Food Fight, Galaga, Joust, Ms. Pac-Man, Robotron: 2084, Xevious). For games that do containing HSC saving code, under real hardware, when HSC saving (cart or device) is present, associated screens and saving would be demonstrated. By fixing the HSC flag in the respective ROM image header, it properly reflects the cartridge/game data and behavior. Emulators the support HSC saving (I.E. A7800), and have it enabled, will provide the appropriate HSC saving. Emulators that do not have HSC enabled or do not support the HSC, simply play the game as usual. So, just as would occur under real hardware, it is dependent on whether such HSC saving means are present and enabled, or disabled/absent, that will determine the respective game's behavior under emulation when the header is properly set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
