Wanted : ATARI 7800 PAUSE Button.

Sat Feb 4, 2012 4:39 PM

Er, yeah. Oddly, my personal Atari 7800 does not have one. Well, actually it has two POWER buttons, at least where it should say PAUSE it says POWER lol. Not sure why but whoever had it last, thye must of lost or broke the PAUSE button and stuck on another POWER BUTTON beside it. :( Other than that it looks pretty good and functions perfectly but it has always kinda just......bugged me. So, I would ask if anyone has a broken 7800 or has a lot of parts if you would please consider shipping me that PAUSE button I would be happy to cover shipping and a couple bucks for your trouble? I am in Canada and would gladly PAYPAL you USD ASAP. I have great refs here (check my sig) would appreciate if anyone can help me out thanks! :thumbsup:

Sega Fusion (all in one Genesis+SegaCD+32X) (project phoenix). From about 19:00 to the end of the video are various gameplays. I will do another video with some more gameplays and using S-Video.
I want to thank Kevinsvideogameworld for suggesting the name Sega Fusion. Really liked it :)

Amiga 1000 QUESTIONS regarding KICKSTART etc....

Fri Dec 2, 2011 4:33 AM

Well I have not even seen an A1000 in person in many years but being the first Amiga I find it interesting.
Please excuse any inaccuracies as I speak only form memory off the top of my head. Now, if I recall Kickstart must be loaded from disk correct? Version 1.2 I am guessing? I know that beginning with the Amiga 500 Kickstart came built in on ROM right? So I guess my questions are:

1. Can higher versions of Kickstart be loaded into an Amiga 1000 or is it only a specific version?
2. Is there any advantage to the 1000's ability to loading kickstart, like loading say a hacked or altered version of Kickstart?
3. Is there anything else that can be loaded into a 1000 instead of kickstart that would allow the 1000 to function different or even emulate a different machine.
4. Can the 1000 be "upgraded" to a kickstart in ROM?


Also, any other plus or minus opinions on the 1000 compared to later Amiga's?

I am just fascinated about the first Amiga and appreciate all responses and comments THANKS!!!!! Posted Image
