Hi there,

It's been about 5 months since the last post. Are there any projects
going on that you can share? I know Manuel use to send these out
periodically. It's nice to hear what's going on out there.

I'm finishing up Pacman4K...yes again :-) This is for AA. Kurt Howe was
able to get more free bytes out of my original so there are going to be
some minor changes for the AA version. I've scrapped plans of doing a
larger ROM version of this. I'm just not interested in doing a game over
4K.

After that I think I'll get back into my disassembly projects again as I
get time. It feels good to see others using my disassemblies. I thought
I was the only one that looked at these. Most recently I've seen people
using my Berzerk and E.T. work to answer questions about game play and
all. Kind of nice. I guess I'll start with my old WIP work.

Anyone else?

Take care,
Dennis

Okay, I'll bite!

I'm currently putting title theme music to Karate Master.  Composing
for the VCS is hard, even with the Music Kit!  But there's progress at
least.

My higher priority projects at the moment are hardware - I'm building
a 256-in-1 4k multicart with dipswitch control, and I'm designing a
standalone arcade panel for the VCS (joystick in center, paddles on
the edges).  If my interest holds out on the arcade stick I might
produce a bunch for resale.

Good to hear about your continued Pacman4k efforts, it's one of my
favorite homebrews and I am excited to see the "final" final product :

just got done with my official bin release of laserman'88 game for the 
2600 in october. going to work on the cart version soon with an added 
ending screen.
(my bin can be found on AA under the batari basic topic)

my games.

I'm working on Synthcart II, which is currently for personal use.
This new version is designed around a custom-built control panel.

Hi,

I very occasionally revisit the RAM games I was working on a few months ago, and I just started trying to plan a 1K Defenderish clone.

And I have a bigger project (with Nathan) that I keep putting off, but I'll get to that sometime.

Subject: [stella] Whence the Dig?
Message-ID: <9793CBDF68ED49D2BD4ED20EB391300D@smidgepc>

G'Day,

I've just in the last week or so downloaded your mailing list archives in 
order to grep them and find out information about homebrew ROM images that I 
am hunting.

I must say that reading the posts and learning about peoples' dev cycles and 
kernel heartaches and the like has really tweaked my interest in 2600 
homebrew development (being a relatively young fellow I cut my teeth on a 
Tandy COCO-2, and my first taste of assembly was on the 286).

But the reason that I am writing is in regards to the reply post in thread 
'Whence the Dig?' made by Rob on the first of August.

In my hunt for ROMS I have been feverishly piecing together the shape of the 
homebrew community from about 1998 through to present day, and with the help 
of the Stella list archives, Google, and archive.org's Wayback Machine I 
have really learned quite a lot.

One of the files I was looking for was the revised version of the Crazy 
Valet binary which I picked up at 
http://web.archive.org/web/20011123175608/home.tampabay.rr.com/bprescot/crazyvalet/download.htm, 
but a good portion of the others only exist now in the Dig as far as I can 
tell. I have tried using Wayback to grab the binaries from the Dig at its 
original home, but they were not saved by the web spider in this instance. 
Then I tries the 2nd edition (at homebrewgames.net I believe), but the 
domain has since been parked and the robots.txt that is now in place 
prevents the Internet Archive from presenting results for that domain as a 
matter of policy.

So what I am asking, if I may, is for access to those backup files in order 
to hopefully find those missing ROMS and help get them back out there.


In return, I don't have a whole lot to offer. I don't have access to any web 
space, and I won't have a lot of time next year. What I CAN offer though is 
to help tidy up those files and prepare them for publishing, as I have 
fairly good skills at data mining and automation, and a little time on my 
hands whilst on leave this christmas.

I politely urge you to at least consider my request, and I apologize if I 
have breached the etiquette of this list in any way.

Cheers,


Leigh 'Smidge' Ridgway.

A correction to my last

"Then I tries the 2nd edition (at homebrewgames.net I believe)"

I recall it in fact being on neonghost.com, and also I wasn't using the 
present tense of the word 'try' to pass off some sort of familiarly-toned 
drawl ("See then I tries the 2nd edition see, but old Mr. Buttersworth, well 
he..."), it's a typo :-(


Cheers Again,

Smidge.

Any chance of adding AtariVox support?  I know it uses both controller ports, but I'm just throwing out the idea.

AtariVox has a 5-voice tone generator but I don't think it's ever been used as such.

I have rough Atarivox tonegen support now for the Loopcart.  Currently
don't have any plans to add support to the Synthcart though, but maybe
someday.

How about updating the 'sequencer kit' to use the Atarivox?  It would be cool if AtariVox games used the chip for title music.

Good idea.  I'll consider it.
