... Adam -- I thought that the system that Lance mailed to me, with almost all of the carts, was one that was a gift from him to you ... that I was just...
... Add this into the mix, to make it even more confusing: stamped into the inner surface of the (mold tooling for) early Arcadia 2001 "long cart" plastic...
Offered with apologies in advance, in case my four months "off" has made me forget stuff that's already been discussed. I did catch up on all of the messages...
In re-reading my already-sent post, I see that I talked only about the possibility of one chip being a ROM, and the other an EPROM. I need to amend it, a bit. ...
Hi, I'm a new member so firstly wanted to say a hearty hello to all other members. I am currently for personal hobby reasons researching gaming machines from...
... apf_consoles_and_computers@yahoogroups.com, "martin.sutcliffe1" ... I'm sure that Lance (the guy who runs that site; and this one) will chime in, but if...
And it's pretty hard to draw the line as to what's homebrew and what's commercial. If an individual offers a program for sale in a newsletter and sells a few...
... Pretty Much. Only the 'IM-1 in a Million' tapes online are Home Brew. I do have a couple Compilation tapes, but they don't have much worth putting online ...
Techies: look on the group's web site, under FILES, and then under Hardware Questions, for a newly-uploaded image from me. The image shows technical details...
... All the manuals I have are online at this time. Listed beside the tape they belong to and in the '3rd Party Manuals' section. A lot of the games either...
... Clarence: as others said -- "Welcome!" Other newbies, as well! :-) Adam Trionfo posted earlier, saying that he's one of the guys that has an excellent...
Two questions for you, Lance: Did anyone ever have instructions for the Rocket Patrol game? Just curious about that, but if nothing did come with the system...
... <snip> I poped both the eprom and CPU(MPU) from the board and could find no alterations other than the visible one next to the eprom. I'll try to trace the...
Oh, OK. Good that the instructions have been scanned already. Does any packaging, tapes, etc. still need to be scanned, or was there really much of...
... I'm sure they come in the box with the game unit. Unfortunately, I haven't acquired a box of manual for the game unit. ... My Rocket Patrol instructions: ...
... Okay: knowing one's an EPROM narrows certain assumptions down. (I'm wondering now if maybe APF later released the 4k BIOS inside a ROM chip, instead of...
... Sweet for Adam if it all works! :) ... If Ward's update works, how would that be an advantage to me? Wouldn't I need to have the computer add-on to take...
I went back and looked at an old image of your modded board, Lance. Yup ... I'm definitely over-thinking the problem! :-) What they did was cut one trace,...
I agree with that assessment of relative professionalism. I have several dozen commercial zip loc style games for mostly the Apple II, but really for every...
Lance: check the "picture section" ... got one question for you. ... Hey now ... we said it was sweet for you ... so play along! ;-) It would actually be...
... I always thought it was that first way? [that I would return the unit to you] ... Originally, that was the plan. Somewhere along the line I figured that...
... My criteria is if it was sold, i.e., not typed from a magazine or created by an individual for themselves or a friend, it's a commercial program. ... If...
I think that definition applies just fine to the era when the system was either still being sold or recently orphaned. There's a difference now with the...
... I think to me That is the cut-off line. If the machine is a going concern and your trying to sell software for it, its commercial. If the machine is long...
I don't know about that. In the case of the Coleco Adam and TI-99/4a, for instance, both systems were orphaned rather abruptly and I think non-store sales held...
