Albert Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Never saw that one comming , maybe you could make a multicart with Nuky's and my BIN on it. It needs to remain a relatively normal cart, a 2600 4K, 8K, 16K, or 32K binary. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I was thinking on binding all the wired on top of each other except the +/- power wires, and hook on a switch to power either one of the +/- power pins, I know that probably won't work, but your idea sounds better.

Saikyo Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 You do realize that in 20 odd years all of these new carts might be worth a pretty packet! Also it's a really cool idea! maybe this technique can be used in other types of atari software as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmpddytim Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 I would be happy to help out and for this purpose would make a one-off cart free of charge. ..Al WOW! WOW! This is Really amazing, and I can't thank you guys enough. Everybody here is too generous.

Paul Slocum Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I'd be willing to help hack a message into a game (so it pops up when you finish a level or something). I just ask that you pick one that's already been disassembled. Pitfall, River Raid, Cosmic Ark, Starmaster, Combat, Donkey Kong, Berzerk, Indy 500, probably some others I'm forgetting. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 Donkey kong would be sweet. Could it be done where after the first level the scrolling text .bin pops up? I really like that, but dont know if its possible. And Everyone look to the contest page soon, there will be a lable contest just as soon as we work everything out.

Tim I think that would be possible DK is 4kb, and my scrolling text is 4kb, so that would be 8kb without anything omitted from DK, I think that would be extremely hard to do, but Paul (or Thomas for the record) might be able to do it.

pmpddytim Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 I dont want to give anyone grief trying to do this. If i suggest somthing that ridiculously hard just say so, I know nothing of programming. Pitfall would also be cool (if somthing popped up after you died) as well as Demon attack (dont know if that disassembled). Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like that, but dont know if its possible. Yeah, that should be easy. I can probably make it a little more elaborate than just a message too. Could be next weekend before I get to it, but I'll try to do it sooner. I think DK is the best choice. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARI TROLL Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 @Paul ...You have to post the .bin when your finished please @Tim....you could use the attached as a special (DK label) since its for a one time cart only type pic....I just thought it was cool (pack of gum & trading cards sku_u sent me) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since the displayed message is so short, it might be possible to fit everything into the 4K version of Donkey Kong if the second level gets removed. Ciao.

Paul Slocum Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I'm working on it now. It'll be easy to hack DK into an 8k cart. Then I'll have room to make a proper Atari proposal. And later on, somebody can use the extra 4k to add the Elevators and Pie Factory! -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARI TROLL Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 @VB.....It would tear my heart to even open such a prized pack of trading cards! ....I think it would equal to chewing on cardboard by now..I am afraid what that hair would do to the stomach. I'm afraid that my stool would grow legs and walk out of the bathroom Sorry for the details...... @Paul: room for a pie factory!! Can you squeeze Echards scrolling text after the first round of dk? Cheers anyone have any ideas on a label yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 anyone have any ideas on a label yet?? I PM'd Albert a couple days ago about a lable contest, now I'm just waiting for a response. It's not much but I'm thinking $25 to the AA store will be the prize. It'll probably have to be kinda short though cause I really wanted to propose before I graduated Thus I want to try to get the cart by the end of april. (man, that sentence is horrible.) Anyway, as far as labels go go nuts with it, it dosent have to go with DK if you think of somthing unique. One I thought of was a Sabateur lable parody with a groom hiding around the corner from the bride. He could look scared with a ring in his hand.

Turrican Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hi all LOL i was looking at this thread the other day and thought it was a classic then i just got my atari working today(woody 6sw) and guess what? I put in my cart SUPER HIT PACK and tried to select a game and it happened the menu changed and a message came up on the screen.......... mary i love you will you marry me. when this happened the sound went funny and the game locks on the message. What a coincidence! It only happens on the woody and now i have it working pretty good it hasnt come up again i will keep trying to get it up again and take a pic if you like. But it looks like its been done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
