mickster Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I was just curious if there are many homebrew roms available somewhere for this device. I am aware of stella has a new brain and the official software, I am just curious if there is anything cool that someone has written through the years for this device. thanks for any help, mickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Al_Nafuur Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 You might find a lot of SuperCharger WAV files at the PlusStore: There should also be a few homebrews specially designed for the SuperCharger. Additionally the PlusStore is converting to WAV all newly uploaded ROMs below 6K, so they can be tested with the SuperCharger. But most of them are untested.

tkarner Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Most homebrews up to 4k should work with the Supercharger just fine. You just need to get them into an audio format. Google "bin to wav" or "bin to MP3" and that'll get you started. Before things like the Harmony Cart existed this is how we did it. However, if your question was about homebrews created specifically for the Supercharger, to take advantage of its extra RAM, then I can't think of any.

xeex Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) I think Bob Colbert's Stell-A-Sketch was written specifically for the Supercharger, and needs the extra RAM. Is that on Stella Gets a New Brain? I can't remember. Edited October 16 by xeex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Here's a couple: It looks like there should be something to download in this blog post by @batari, but the attachment is missing. I had that happen with a number of my blog posts after one of the forum upgrades, by editing the blog entry I was able to get the attachments to show up again. My earliest blog entries also show "posted by Guest" instead of my account. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an alternative to the makewav program, I wrote a new tool to do the conversion.

EricBall Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Unfortunately I never finished Leprechaun. I took a break and came back to "who wrote this crap code?" I probably still have the source code on my cold backups, although I don't know about the level editor (JS + PHP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Together with @ZylonBane's mockup of a Lode Runner screen, this inspired me to port Lode Runner to the Atari 2600. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 There's also a folder with Supercharger conversions (bin files) in my old ROM Pack: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
