Atari Dogs Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Sounds Great. Your stuff is top notch. I bought your 128 in 1 cart early this year. Of course, I may need to buy this new version. It was great for my kids and I to meet you at the Columbus show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voch Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Any discounts if we drive up W. 130th street and just pick it up?

NoahsMyBro Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Admittedly, I don't currently have plans to buy one of these, due to money constraints. But, I am still curious about the cart (and hope to buy one some day). Is it possible to manage the cart without the provided software? I'm wondering about using it with Linux, future versions of Windows or Mac, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 I'm going to write a libusb driver and release the source so it can be used with Linux, Mac, etc. I havent even started that yet, but it should not be difficult.

First time that I have played for a long stretch in some time. I spent a lot of that time playing the conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan has also given his permission to modify his MULE conversion to work on the flash cartridge, so I will do that one soon as well.

MrRetroGamer Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I received mine earlier this week, and I just have to say that this cart is "DA BOMB"!!! Big props go out to Steve for the design of this cart and the software he wrote to use it. The Multi-Cart Studio software is easy to use, very intuitive and it works FAST! It was very easy for me to set up the cart without even reading the manual. The 5200 library is pretty strong to begin with, but with the addition of any of the conversions that were done and forthcoming, this item should be a HUST HAVE for any 5200 enthusiast. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is into the 5200! @Steve, keep those conversions coming!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I ordered one of these and it arrived last week. Having not had any 5200 multi carts up to this point, I am loving this. I already ordered a trackball on ebay for centipede and millipede. This also made me go on ebay and pick up two controller rebuild kits from retrogames-r-us. (also a great product) I am about to check out Xagon, and would love to see mule on the 5200. Great product, and easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
