Warboss Gegguz Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 The demo of Ardvark by Champ worked fine for me. I was using a harmony cart with modded bankswitching though, so that might have something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Two quick updates: I indicated that the "End" Homebrew worked on the 2600+, but it actually does not. I didn't mark it properly in my notes. After more cleaning and about 20 tries, I finally got the Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes working. It needed to be pushed all the way to the right for it to be read correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed the instructions (putting the paddle on the right side). but no ability to start the game. Is this what you found, as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I haven't gone through the whole thread, but just FYI I put in my UA Limited copy of Pleiades homebrew last night and it has issues. The game displays, but the enemies and your ship fail to render. The shots shoot and display, but the ships don't display. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticSword Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Does anyone know about compatibility with the Homebrew games on the Atari Age store? https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_list&c=24 There's a few that looks of interest to me. The one I think I'd like to get first (if it's 2600+ compatible) is the game 'Dungeon': https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=895 If you have some of the other Homebrews and if you've tried them on the 2600+ , I'd be interested to know the ones that were compatible.

Thanks. Regarding my 2600 homebrews, which are still on the Atariage Shop (mostly PAL or PAL60): TB series is useless, as no Trakball is supported (yet?) From the Hacks Berzerk VE works but you maybe better get the official re-release Asteroids DC and Indy 500 XE Hacks do not make sense, as the Driving Controller is not supported (yet?) Now to the better Part, as many of my tested homebrew games did work A-VCS-tech Challenge OK Allia Quest OK Blinky goes up OK Bee Ball fails Conquest of Mars fails Fall Down fails Go Fish OK K.O. Cruiser OK Lead fails Marble Craze OK Medival Mayham OK Omicron OK Panky the Panda OK Space Instigators fail Space Rocks fail??? This Planet sucks OK Thrust + fails and Driving controller won't work I got more working Homebrews like Lady Bug, PAC MAN 4k, Gunfight,... but they are not in the shop anymore. The ARM carts like Cobra Arcade fail of course but they are not in the shop anymore anyway.

+Atari_Warlord Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Round 5 of testing. I think I'll drop the list of carts that need cleaning, it works out to about 10% require it to work. Games that worked on original hardware but not on the 2600+: The Music Machine (Sound was bad and wouldn't start) Megaboy Bump 'N' Jump Burgertime Masters of the Universe - The Power of He Man Space Jockey (The cart didn't seem to want to go down far enough to connect and sit properly) Games I'm not sure worked properly on the 2600+: Cuttle Cart (Menu loaded, but assume it won't load games properly) Video Life (Appeared to work but not sure how to play it. Also, it kept running after the cart was pulled out and required a power cycle to reset 2600+) Magicard (Appeared to work but not sure how to input information) Sound Paddle (Appeared to work but couldn't figure out how to give inputs, maybe keyboard?) Games that worked on the 2600+: Condor Attack Halloween Off Your Rocker MotoRodeo Fatal Run Vulture Attack Malagai Quadrun Adventures of Tron Air Raiders Armor Ambush Astroblast Dark Cavern Frogs and Flies International Soccer Kook- Aid Man (OH YEAH!) Lock 'n' Chase Space Attack Star Strike Super Challenge Baseball Super Challenge Football Tron Deadly Discs Cubicolor Combat Rock Subterranea Death Trap Deadly Duck Decathlon Defender Defender II Demolition Herby Demon Attack Demons to Diamonds Desert Falcon Dig Dug Dodge 'Em Dodger Cars Dolphin Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. Double Dragon Double Dunk Dragonfire Dragster E.T. Earth Attack The Earth Dies Screaming Edtris 2600 Eggomania Elevator Action Elk Attack Encounter at L-5 Soccer Solar Fox Solar Storm Solaris Sorcerer's Apprentice Sorcerer Soundx Space Cavern SpaceChase Space Combat Space Invaders Space Shuttle Space War Spacemaster X-7 Speedway II (one of the carts I bought with my system in 1977) Spelling Spider-Man Spider Fighter Spitfire Attack Springer Sprintmaster (wish this would get a release using the driving controller, 4 player could be achieved with the Quadtari) Spy Hunter Squeeze Box SSSnake Stampede 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
