idunno24601 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 How do you transfer a homebrewed game from the computer to the cartrage. I have no idea how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 You send the binary and some money to Albert or Alex and they will do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 which platform? If you're talking Atari 2600 and the game is 2K or 4K you can use a Supercharger and makewav to play the game out on the real thing. That's what I'm currently doing for my version of Rally X.

eric_ruck Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Or hunt down that old thread about the Pocket Eprom Programmer. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAlt Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Does anyone make NEW eprom writers? Like something that would work with USB or maybe even MacOSX or linux? I had one for a C64 "back in the day" but I sold it many moons ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 yeah, Rally X. Was always one of my favorite games. Used to play the home version on the VIC 20 all the time, Radar Rat Race.(image from the 64 version) I suspect I'll call it Rally S (for SpiceWare). I used to code in 6502 on the Commodore series(VIC, 64 and 128), so I don't expect much difficulty with that aspect of the game. Here's a version of Space Invaders I did for the 128's 80 column display. I've got the graphics for the level 1 maze done and was working on the kernel when I had to backburner the project. I've been under a 20% "temporary" paycut since the start of the year and picked up a side job. It should wrap up in December so I plan to resume Rally S after the holidays. I'm giving my brother & sister Atari setups for Xmas and what's left of my freetime has been spent making binders with game manuals(besides 40+ cartridges each, they're getting Superchargers with CDs holding 350 or so games). I'm up to the E's so far. Typically I'm getting 8 manual pages on each sheet(4 printed on each side). I've got a number of manuals not yet on Atari Age so have also been scanning them. Albert's going to add them here when he has time. Not sure how long it takes to code a game, but I do want to give my brother & sister Rally S cartridges for their birthdays(May and June).

+SpiceWare Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Rally X is fun. Have you ever seen the updated Arcade ROM's? (New Rally X) Sure have. Plan to have the "lucky flag" as a game variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpbucket Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Does anyone make NEW eprom writers? Where I work, we use Needhams programmers, which pretty much program everything under the sun, but they're very expensive. I'm an Amiga user, so I don't know about for the PC or Mac, but certainly on Aminet there are plans for many build-it-yourself programmers, which tend to be for a specific device. I'm sure that somewhere out there on the web there will be similar designs with software for whatever platform you choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hi there! That's what I'm currently doing for my version of Rally X. Any news on this project? Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Where I work, we use Needhams programmers, which pretty much program everything under the sun, but they're very expensive. I lucked into two "last unit" EMP-20's at the Fry's in Austin and Houston. I got the Houston one for (I think) $99. The Austin one was missing all accessories, so I snagged it when it went down to $50. I have since found a power supply with the right spec and wrong plug, and another with an almost right spec and the right plug. Then a couple of weeks ago I bought a complete set of modules so that now each unit can be complete. I was going to need a #4 module anyhow. This is what I mostly use nowadays, hooked up via a really long printer cable to my living room video player PC. Last week I won an ebay auction for two EPROM programmers. One was an EP-1132 (from BP Microsystems), which I had used before at a previous job. The other was an EP-1, the original programmer from that line, and which works through a 38400 baud serial connection with plain old XMODEM transfers. No PALs, but it does support esentially all 28-pin EPROMs. So now I have one that will work with my Powerbook. The EP-1 is now officially my "portable" programmer. And then there's my first programmer, a ROMMAX. It uses an ISA card and DOS software. Which is why I'm surprised that Fry's still sells them new. I've got the 16-bit EPROM adapter for that too. I also have an old PAL programmer to the same computer, which lets me read the really old stuff. My goal was to read the PAL from the Color Computer Multi-Pak Interface, and I did it. And now I've just won another ebay auction for a PAL programmer which uses the same sofware as the EP-1132. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I use the Needham's EMP-10 which is under $200. I also use the Xtronics Romulator which is an EPROM emulator and works great (same guys that make the Pocket Programmer). -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I use the Needham's EMP-10 which is under $200. -paul Same here, that and a Xeltek SuperPro LX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
