Albert Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 BTW: That archive is only 17k if you use 7-zip. (Attached -- trim off the .zip file extension and throw through a 7-zip compatible package.) I need to find and install a good ZIP archiver for OS X. The one built into the OS is a piece of junk, and not only does it generate large ZIP files (so much for compression), it also adds OS-related files that do not need to be included. Unfortunately the archive you gave me won't unzip in OS X, so I'd rather stick to one that everything can open. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the archive you gave me won't unzip in OS X, so I'd rather stick to one that everything can open. Oh, absolutely. If you install (the free) Stuffit Expander, the attached archive should open nicely. It's a RAR wrapped in a zip so it uploads smoothly. http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/index.html You want a program that can create RAR or 7zip files. Unfortunately Stuffit can only extract RAR, not create them and it doesn't know about 7zip at all. It's been a while since I've been on the Mac and I don't know of any other compression packages that are still around. I'll have a rummage. indy500xesubmissions.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 You could try a Bzip2 front-end from: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8696 It's not quite as efficient as 7zip, but for these files it comes in at 19k. Had to wrap the example file in a zip again to post. It's bundled with most modern flavours of unix, so there's probably already command-line support for it buried somewhere in your Mac, hence my description of the program above as a "front end". indy500xesubmissions.tar.bz2.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hi, I just want to say THANK YOU to all the people that participate in the contest. I´m apologize too by the delay in the winners selection. But like everybody knows PC5 takes a lot of time BTW I did a special ROM image with some pseudo random :wink: selected tracks. Maybe you can found your tracks on the PC5 photo gallery. The work on the program is over and I think that in the 4K will be space for near 18 different tracks and 32 game variations. So Albert is selecting their favorites and I doing the same, so stay tunned to know who are the winners... All the entries are really GREAT, so I think I will do more VCS2600 hacks Thanks again, Gus Sorry if my english isn´t good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I think I will do more VCS2600 hacks Thanks again, Gus Sorry if my english isn´t good enough Great news Gus! I can't wait for your next hack!

pmpddytim Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Sorry if my english isn´t good enough Are you kidding?

Here's an example from someone I work with named Anita: (Add really a bad Texas accent) I seen him warsh them clothes over where he be at. You have nothing to worry about Gus, so stop apologizing And I will definatly get any hack you put out! -Tim (or as Anita would say "TEEEEEEIM!")

jedijeff Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Now if only there was a 4-player 7800 version of championship sprint that used the driving controllers. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 Now if only there was a 4-player 7800 version of championship sprint that used the driving controllers. Unfortunately the 7800 only has two controller ports, and unlike the paddles, the driving controllers are not paired up (so you'd need four ports to plug in four driving controllers). I do agree, though, a four-player Sprint for the 7800 would be fantastic! ..al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We nearly have the final selections narrowed down, and we are working on the label and manual now.

+Random Terrain Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Did we get a list of winners yet? I have been away for a while playing Sim City 4, Mall Tycoon, and working on my web site, but I finally remembered to check back in to see what happened, but I don't see anything here. Will the winners be listed in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gus Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Currently I´m working on a old CoinUp game adaptation for the 8 bit computers. But I´m ready for the next Hack and Editor for the belovad 2600, so if you have an idea just post it I or send me an email. I will enjoy doing more hacks if there are some interest ... :wink: Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
