Albert Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Thanks go out to Matt Reichert of AtariProtos.com, who has supplied us with dumps of his NTSC Motorodeo and Ikari Warriors cartridges for all to enjoy. PAL versions of these games have been available for some time, but NTSC versions of these rare games have not been freely available before now. Please visit our Motorodeo and Ikari Warriors pages to download the binaries and view screenshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Other than being NTSC, how are these games different from the PAL versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApolloBoy Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I don't really like Motorodeo, but I actually like Ikari Warriors on the 2600. I'm gonna make a repro of that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Other than being NTSC, how are these games different from the PAL versions? Umm.... they're not. NTSC and PAL games are the same except for their respective format (with the rare color exception). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Exactly. So why is this such great news? Ok... Try and stay with me on this. They're in NTSC format. Not only will they not roll on your TV, but they'll have he correct colors as well. Using an emulator you're probably not going to notice anything, but if you plan on using a Cuttle Cart or burning the rom onto a EPROM you'll actually be able to play it properly.

Using an emulator you're probably not going to notice anything, [/quote'] Right. For the 99% of people who only use an emulator, this is a non-story. but if you plan on using a Cuttle Cart or burning the rom onto a EPROM you'll actually be able to play it properly. In other words, for the few with the capability to create an EPROM or the few who have a wallet busting Cuttle Cart, this is great news. Sorry to be so harsh, but this news isn't all that spectacular, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using an emulator you're probably not going to notice anything, Right. For the 99% of people who only use an emulator, this is a non-story. Most people here also like playing these games on an actual TV with an actual Atari 2600 using a 2600 joystick without having to get an old TV with verticle hold to support a PAL game. Emulation is good for reference, but does not compare to playing the games on a real system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is (do I have to keep making it?) is that most people do not have the ability to play these on their TV anyway making this a non-story. Unless everyone but me has a Cuttle Cart...

You can buy a repro from a variety of sources for about $15-25, making this a noteworthy story in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be so harsh, but this news isn't all that spectacular, IMO. You know what? Then ignore this thread! I never said this news was spectacular or earth shattering. I just thought it would be nice to release the NTSC versions of these roms to the community. If you don't have anything positive to say why don't you go elsewhere.

CPUWIZ Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 These were dumped a loooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, thanks to bfstats but I guess they never made it into the database. Anyway, cheers Tempest for dumping bfstats carts again and kicking Albert to insert them into the database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 These were dumped a loooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, thanks to bfstats but I guess they never made it into the database. Yes that's true, these were dumped back at PC4 when they were still Dan's carts. However the dumps got lost somehow between PC4 and CGE when I got the carts in a trade. I assumed that they had been posted so I never bothered to redump them until today. Long story short, thank Dan for trading me the carts so I could redump them.

Lost Monkey Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Some people... Uh.. okay.. Thanks Matt! I guess I am one of the 1% with a Cuttle Cart... @Albert: In the future, please try not to make such a fuss (I.E. letting anyone know) about newly released bins as some people tend to get upset about them...

CPUWIZ Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I assumed that they had been posted so I never bothered to redump them until today. So did I, otherwise I would have sent the binaries to Al myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I assumed that they had been posted so I never bothered to redump them until today. They must have been dumped before, because I found them inside the huge Good2600 1.0 archive. Thanks anyway! And now, how about the other dumps you guys are still hiding?

DeV0 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hey, this is a pretty impressive ikari for the 2600. Never played it til reading this post. I can say that ive never seen a PAL release in australia ebay or otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBP Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I got PAL ikari warriors a few months ago. Seen it twice in the UK over the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Personally I think the 2600 version of Ikari Warriors is a steaming pile. There are just some games that shouldn't have been tried on the 2600. Ick! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Thanks to all the dumpers! And thanks to the poster of dumps! My Cuttle Cart and my beta Cuttle Cart 2 both thank you all! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA [/u][/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
