I'm in the USA, but I may be able to help you out on this one. I'll have to figure out what cart this will fit on. Do you want to burn your pre-Alpha version, or is there another version that you have? I'm assuming you'll want the encryption header?

(really... my 1st customer... ) Hmm... it seems kind of odd to me to be selling before the final copy is ready. I can understand versions for people for testing, but this seems a little premature to me, to be an actual "sale". Are you sure you want to do this? I think you would generate better end sales to have a "finished product" date, and sell them all at one time then, when fully tested and perfected. Besides, you may not be aware, but you have a large burden on your shoulders-- you're the first 7800 homebrewer to actually have a saleable product (with the exception of the monitor cart, back in the day). You will hav ethe "Edtris" of the 7800. The last game to come out for the system was in '91, I believe, and after that no one has touched the system. Personally, I love the 7800 because of what came out for it-- awesome games that I thought rivaled Nintendo's in originality, graphics, and complexity. Midnight Mutants is one such game, and is one of my favorites. But to have a beta-version floating around out there just to get some extra cash... well, that just doesn't seem right to me. I'd think it truer to the 7800's library to release a final copy that blows our minds and reminds us why we love the system so much. But I digress... Anyway, it might be a better idea to trim the EPROM size down... they don't make 48K EPROMS, as they only come in 2^n size packages, which limits you to 32K or 64K. I don't know how difficult each cart is to make... I believe a 32K board needs a chip inverter (7404) and a 32K EPROM, and that's about it. There may be more difficult logic with the 48K game, or perhaps not (I believe there are 64K readable with the 7800's address lines, with the lower 16K being system... not sure though). What range of $$$ are we talking, anyway? -John K. Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 From what I recall, for a 48k game. You use a 64k chip with the first 16k being empty. Oh, and if you are going to make a cart version don't forget to remove the A78 header file. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it will still work, even though it wont have exactly 16k empty in the begining? If it won't work, is there a way to make the file exactly 48k?

+Mitch Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 I don't think what's in the first 16k matters. But if you still want to get it down to 48k than you will need to remove the A78 header. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Question here. How are you gonna sell this game? I really would like a copy, since it sounds really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
