Shawn Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Surely you meant 'Would be kinda cool to make a totally unlike ATARI games horribly shitty NES multicart' Exactly. But of all the cannon fodder from the FB1 food fight was done OK as well as a couple of the 2600 titles. Food Fight on an NES cart would be quite funny to see (and play).

jaybird3rd Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Personally, I'm still waiting to see if anyone figures out how to get an NES cartridge slot wired into the FB1; based on Curt's last post on the subject, getting the information from the original designers appears unlikely.

The FB1 was a nice first attempt, but I gave it to my friend's kids when the FB2 came out. The FB2 did so many things right. The games were better, controllers are compatible with older controllers, and Warlords with a paddle! But not to mention the forethought to make the cartridge port hack possible. In other words, why on Earth would you want to mess with the FB1 when the FB2 is sooooo much better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 In other words, why on Earth would you want to mess with the FB1 when the FB2 is sooooo much better? Because you can? I mean, there would be at least some fun novelty in claiming that Food Fight, Battlezone and Crystal Castles were in fact ported to the NES, and then popping in a cartridge to prove it.

In other words, why on Earth would you want to mess with the FB1 when the FB2 is sooooo much better? You're right about the FB2 being better, of course. I just want to put an NES cartridge slot in the FB1 so I can at least get some use out of the machine again. It's a nice little Famiclone implementation and would be a handy thing to have for playing NES games; its biggest problem now is that it's saddled with some really crummy software. As for the FB1 games and putting them on an NES cart ... I suppose it's possible, but as you say, why bother when you can play the FB2 (or even get copies of the originals)? Even if someone did manage to make a FB1 cart, I would have no use for it. Edited August 17, 2006 by jaybird3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Curt Vendel wouldn't allow it, he'd ask Albert to take it down so fast your head would fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 How do you know that? Instructions for dumping the roms from the Flashback 2 have been widely circulated around here. And that's all you'd need to do with the Flashback 1 since once you've retrieved the game code, making a cart is a simple matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Doing dumps of your own FB unit is one thing, posting them is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Stinks that getting the FB1 ROM is a DIYer, but that's life. Would be nice to see if those games would run on an NES emulator, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the point. The point is the FB1 has NES hardware adaptions of 2600 games, and if it can be dumped that'd be nifty. Personally I think it'd be great to pop in a FB1 rom into an NES emulator and play NES software trying to pretend it's a 2600 If it can be done, let it be done.
