+Allan Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I'm sorry but it's way to close to April 1st. I'm still not buying it. Until there is some video or a dump, I'm not convinced this is real. The whole story seems fishy to me. You really think the photos I took have somehow been fudged? I'll post a video either later tonight or sometime tomorrow. ..Al Hey, it is almost April 1st. It's hard not to be a little suspicious. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I think you shouldn't bother wasting time taking pictures or videos and just dump the ROM and post it so we can all test it together. Already dumped and sent off. I haven't tried it yet in an emulator as I will need to install one of the 7800 emulators (ProSystem?) in a Windows VM on my Mac. I'll play around with that this weekend and see if I can get it to run without any problems. Will post some screenshots once I do that. As I mentioned earlier, it's not up to me to release the binary for everyone to enjoy.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakasama Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Here's video of a full game: http://atariage.com/video/JrPacMan_7800.m4v ..Al I think some of us were willing to wait a few days more but since you went through the trouble to prove this is real, I say "thanks". I gotta say it sound a lot of like the 2600 Jr. Pac-Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say it sound a lot of like the 2600 Jr. Pac-Man. The 2600 and 7800 have the same sound hardware, unless the cart contains a POKEY, which that one does not appear to.

Mirage Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I'd like to thank the original poster here for doing the right thing right away and allowing this to be dumped. It doesn't always go that way, with some others getting paranoid and unnecessarily greedy. This is a great find, and now at the very least, the dump will be preserved, which is the most important thing here. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickeycolumbus Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Al, are you still looking for an emulator? I use V7800 through DOSbox, but it is very slow. I'm not sure if it suppots bankswitched carts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacMess should run perfectly under OS X for you, I'm running version .101 on my Mac Pro OS 10.5.6 and it runs every game I've tried no problem.
