Oh bummer, sorry it gives you a scrambled display.
Thanks. I wonder if it is one of three things:
- May need possible re-capping of motherboard.
- Video shifter may be damaged.
- May need new power supply.
Or, it's some other issue I don't know about. Since, I am not a repair expert, I am only guessing here. But, it's a bummer, though I can live with it for now. I will eventually find a fix for it, I am sure. It could be something very minor or not. I just don't know.

MegaSTe has a video out port IIRC, but I never used it, but I think it is RF maybe.
I think you are right. I already have a composite monitor cable for mine. I think it utilizes both RF and composite video on the same computer because there is a TV port on the back of it. It can also utilize stereo audio because it has audio L and R on the back of the computer. So, it's pretty versatile. I just looked at the back of my MegaSTE and found out. The MegaSTE really is a cool unit, but I think mine needs some repairs because the video looks scrambled on the screen. That just happened when I moved into my new place a few months ago. But, it still works otherwise.

It reminds me of Thunderfox, too. Plays similarly to that game.

I hope so, too. Thanks.

I have had Fisher-Price Movie Viewers that had film cartridges you could put into the viewer. They had Mickey's Trailer, Cinderella, and even a film cartridge of the Disney cult classic The Black Hole. I think I still have mine, but haven't seen it in a while. However, some mook may have stolen it, too. I don't know. Thank God for my Atari collection, which is intact.

It is the closest-looking to the arcade version. This is true. I wonder if there will be a Crystal Castles for the A7800? That might be the most definitive version, I would think.

Tapper. Straight up. It's a cool game. I have it for my A2600 Jr. and the Atari 8-bit. It's challenging, too.

I have two stock Lynx systems. A Lynx 1 and 2. I also have a slew of games for them. They are a great addition to my collection.

I see. The LYX file is header-less. I have seen this before, but must have forgotten. Sorry about that. I have seen this converter before on this site. I like studying these things myself. But, I have never converted a file in this manner before. I wish I could help. Sorry about that in advance.
-
I see. Thanks.
-
Interesting. I hope it works out for you to get your games converted. The LNX header must be for a physical game, and I assume the LYX header is for emulation. I hope you can do it accurately anyway.

If it's any consolation, I met the late James Doohan once. I was almost 13 years old and I gave him a greeting card. He shook my hand. He was giving autographs at the time at a convention. That was back in 1987. Too bad he eventually passed away. but, he was pretty ill in his old age. RIP, Scotty.

I also have duplicate 2600 and 7800 games I've thought about parting with but not many.
My advice to you: If you have a lot of irreplaceable Atari stuff, keep that as much as you can. You can sell duplicates of games if you wish. But, as an Atari collector, I would keep the rarer stuff in your Atari collection. That may soon become a REAL commodity.

I had heard of video demos for the Atari 5200, but never could find the topics about them.
-
Interesting demo. Very good for an 8-bit console. Thanks for showing.
-
It probably could. I once saw a demo of a clip from "Tron" on a Side3 cartridge. So, video can be streamed on the A8.
-
Agreed, Justin.

He also played Sikes in "Alien Nation," on TV. Interesting. It's too bad.

I use cable only for Internet. Ever since August 2023, I watch ONLY over-the-air television (and maybe my DVDs at times). Sure it's spotty, and I don't get all of my channels all of the time. But, it's definitely cheaper than cable or satellite TV. I am probably saving over $1,000.00 a year by not getting cable TV. Free is free, meaning no money needs to be spent on the signal. I like free. So, there you have it. Thanks for letting me share.
Amazing use of cheap low quality tech to do something creative!

It was actually an interesting experiment that he did. Great attempt at bullet time photography, or should I say, videography.
