Are there ever Atari 8bit computers sold in China and/or Japan? And if yes: did they come with a far-east Keyboard or just with QWERTY?

Thanks

Just bought two Ataris, a 6 switch and a 4 switch. When powered up with a game cart, you get just blue and red "swirls", almost like the vertical hold is off. Have checked regulator, solder points, changed to all good known working chips, cleaned cartridge and system cart contacts, and still no dice.

The issue is definitely in the systems, not the AC adapter, tv sets, etc.

Anyone else run into this issue and what did you to to fix it?]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:05:37 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153730-unknown-issues/ Atari 400/800 - XE cartridge compatability? http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153725-atari-400800-xe-cartridge-compatability/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:47:18 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153725-atari-400800-xe-cartridge-compatability/ All 2600 Roms http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153724-all-2600-roms/

I need details! Before I drop $40!

Do they do an awesome job or what?

All 3 of my 5200 controllers are screwed up!!!!

Anyways....

I already took them apart fixed one, but only temporally.
I'd rather not install the flex circuits myself.

I want the new Gold one from 4jays..... I'll gladly pay $40 for
a perfect 5200 controller from a dealer.

Any details you give me would be helpful..

I was lucky enough to find a Quadrun once, and paid dearly for Berzerk Voice Enhanced on an ebay auction years ago...

But both do the same thing! When the voice part come on, it just chirps for a quick moment out of my TV.

Quadrun:
"Qua-. ... ..."

Berzerk VE:
"Chi.. ... ... . ...."

... this seems to be for all segements with voice. I think I even tried loading Open Seseme on my Supercharger once and seeing the same thing, but this is fuzzy.


Anyway, this has been baffling me for years. What's the point of these showy games to guests if they don't work properly? :)

Anyone ever seen this before? Is this a known issue with heavy sixers?]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:15:23 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153693-voice-games-dont-work-with-my-heavy-sixer/ Want to compete against other Jag players? http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153691-want-to-compete-against-other-jag-players/

Ok, so we have a handfull of faithful competitors at our humble Jaguar High Score Club. We are doing OK. BUT, I would love if some of you other regulars here, who don't really venture into the Jag HSC area, might be willing to try your hand at competing with us in friendly competitions. :) It's a great excuse to dust off your Jag and games and kill those times you are bored with nothing to do. ;) But ya, it would be great to have some more of you play regularly in 2010.

We have a guy named Atardi who creams everyone at every game. So if you think you are a hot shot Jag gamer, he will be your biggest challenger in your life, I guarantee it! ;)]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:49:15 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153691-want-to-compete-against-other-jag-players/ Broken reset button on 7800 http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153690-broken-reset-button-on-7800/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:47:34 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153690-broken-reset-button-on-7800/ Jaggy the Jaguar contest http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153686-jaggy-the-jaguar-contest/

I just recently started collecting Atari carts again (spent most of my years collecting rare games on other consoles)and found a few good deals at the local Goodwill for around $5. They also had some loose carts like Circus there but I'll have to grab them when I get back over that way in a few days. Anyway AtariAge thanks for peeping my post.
