Thank you, utz. Do you need the cartridge labels as well? I printed mine on glossy photo paper and they look really nice :D

Hehe thanks, I might take you up on your offer eventually :)

At the moment, I have to take care of some other things... like, find a new space for myself and my 8bit collection (30+ machines). Once I have that, you should come over for a visit ;)

What kind of glue do you use to stick the labels on cartridges by the way? Can any kind that we use at school be used and/or do you just use sticky glossy paper or something? When making CDs and thinking about doing custom cartridge labels once, I always worried that they would just peel off with the years.

Whatever glue was in front of me. It peels off easily.

Aw sorry to hear. D:

This is why I was often relunctant to buy SNES reproduction games (they're just reprogrammed NTSC cartridges with a translated ROM of a Japan-only game, but they looks really cool in your collection), because I was worried I would get one with a label that peels off or uses the wrong kind of paper.

Yeah I am in the process of making a snes/nes reproduction cartridge myself, but I have to make this flash-rom programmer work first (just a pc motherboard with a little daughterboard).

You should post pics when it's ready. I am curious what people use to make cartridges like that :P

Bump: By the way, do you use Batari BASIC to write Atari 2600 programs and stuff? I wonder if it's any good? I heard it made development much easier since it does the graphical and other hard work for you, but is it really true? Because this is an example of game that it can do and I was surprised at how fast it ran:



Does the code look like TI-BASIC and such stuff or does it still require plenty of ASM knowledge?

A buddy of mine actually has the BASIC cartridge for his Atari. I'd love to fool around with it, but he doesn't have any working controllers at the moment. *edit* That's actually a pretty awesome looking mario game. A similar graphic style could easily be used on the Z80 calcs for a mario game. :D

It's only 4KB, so I could put it on my cartridge. I am not sure if there is additional hardware required for this program though.

I don't think there is. My friend has no additional hardware as far as I know. Entering programs without a keyboard seems like it would be a major pain in the ass though. I wonder if the 2600 even had a keyboard accessory... I kind of doubt it though.

I mean inside the cartridge: extra ram etc.

I actually missed that you said Batari BASIC. Apparently the cartridge BASIC that was distrubted was super limited and only allowed 11 lines of code! <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_Programming> Atari 2600 BASIC</a> It also seems very unlikely that Atari BASIC used any extra hardware inside the cartridge due to how limited it was.

*Edit* Also, where did you see that this was made in BASIC DJ? I'm probably overlooking it, but i don't see it listed anywhere.  ???

Or maybe Lua on the Nspire, because tiles are slow apparently there, while plain color squares are very fast.

As for the Mario game I think it was mentionned by the author in Youtube comments or a forum. I think Batari BASIC might be a different BASIC language than your cartridge, since it seems to be able to do much complex stuff (although of course it's more limited than ASM).
