Arenafoot Posted December 18, 2016 Report Posted December 18, 2016 I finally figured out a way to post my "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." publicly, while I can edit and update it without doing a manual upload and ending up with a different URL/link each time. It is available here: https://1drv.ms/x/s!ArXu52QZivTrgVbQayev1Wc1QprN It's pretty much been a daily 3+ yrs. process, and I figured I'd finish scouring the "other website" forums before releasing it.

Arenafoot Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Posted December 26, 2016 I added a new column to "The List" - Atari Flashback Portable Compatibility column, so as I'm testing them, they will be updated. greenween 1 Quote Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne
Arenafoot Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) in case you missed it...... there's work being done to fix some of the games that do not work on the Portable so that they can be played or even made better for the AFP! Here's where we are at right now: Crash Course (hb) removed title screen <bankswitch conversions> bankswitch conversion of several games RealSports Tennis background colors edited Juno First (hb) ROM modified Star Raiders hacked original ROM for AFP use - No Keypad Kool Aid Man hacked in 2002 - this works on the AFP Tapper fixed the screen cutoff at bottom Budweiser Tapper (hack) fixed the screen cutoff at bottom Acid Drop (hb) fixed loading issues - but still cutoff at bottom Beat'em and Eat'em <partly fixed> loads but no control Custer's Revenge fixed loading issues Enduro raised the screen to see number of cars & days Jawbreaker fixed loading issues Lochjaw fixed loading issues Marauder fixed loading issues Shark Attack fixed loading issues Squeezebox fixed loading issues Words Attack fixed loading issues Scrollout (hb) Flashback Portable Support added Fix it Felix Sr. (hb) fixed loading issues Defender II changed "game select" S button for smart bombs Defender II The difficulty switches now work for inviso & hyperspace. Raiders of the Lost Ark select and reset to move the marker & the color switch to drop Bloody Human Freeway (proto) fixed the collision problems Circus Atari {built in game} D-pad not as good as paddles - use Zellers "Circus" Freeway fixed the collision problems Double Dragon Arcade updated sprites and made it compatible w/ AFP Raiders of the Lost Ark Difficulty switch removed. The spider gfx fixed. Bloody Human Freeway (proto) Glitch removed from the corner. Free space used to tally the number of times run over (max99). Freeway (2 Players) added a Player 2 feature for the AFP Backgammon/Nackgammon hacked to use the D-pad and buttons for Player 1 & 2 To find the ROMs for these games, go to my homebrew list (link in the first post of this thread), then click the AFP tab at the bottom of the Excel spreadsheet. All titles are linked to the downloads.
