Already have mateos solution but it's more complicated than what I'm used to.  Can't wait for the 7800 flash cart eco system to expand!

I've played it over the years.  It's definitely original.  Makes me feel like there's hope for single screen games

Had to change a few things in Upp due to improvements in Stella.  Ended up with so many improvements it's really a new, exciting iteration!

Improvements include:
* 32 new hand crafted levels
* Optional Genesis C button support
* Player ships stack making 3 lives more risky due to taller hitbox

This was my jam on the IBM PC in CGA mode.  Partly because I "edited" the levels by corrupting the game data.

This version looks interesting.  I caught a boss at the end exploding in a particle effect.  Wonder what other wonders are enabled by the extra RAM.

Hey!  I make games that need to run consistently on original, clone and emulation based systems.

Is there a way to calculate an appropriate player speed that looks about the same regardless of genesis variant?

I've tried fumbling with counters during the main loop and vblank but never got results.

Almost had an Atari 2600 title present this year but John Hancock decided to not come as a vendor.

Pretty bummed about that.  There's always next year, though!

The expense and rumored fragility has stopped me from collecting this.

I was hoping the FPGA Arcade / Replay board would become actually available to purchase thing as it has an Adventurevision core.   Hopefully some other FPGA project will come along.

Any mini console that doesn't allow you to play ROMs or carts is a horribly useless trinket.  Worse, if they succeed then we'll have more artificially restricted new hardware in the future.  As old hardware dies new fully capable hardware needs to come forth.

I guess my boycott of restricted mini consoles also depends on the ease of hacking to make them run additional games.  I did buy that PSX mini.

Another thing I'm holding off on though interesting.  They've been quite clear on not wanting outside developers initially.   So, as an indie developer and publisher this can't be something I get into.  I'm hoping Collectorvision will get something going and then they might ease up a little.

ZPH tends to keep in touch with me.  Next time we have a 2600 release I'll make sure to give them whatever bullet points are needed.  One more voice with certain data points can help

Sorry for the confusion regarding file sizes.  The first RVG Blast game did indeed start at 2k.  Not many Atari 2600 games come that small.  I changed it up just in case the size was a problem.  So, the first game is 4k with a lot of filler.  The second RVG Blast game is 4k to start with.

zapiy asked me to upload the lastest ROMs.  I haven't made any changes.

The first RVG Blast game has separate PAL and NTSC builds.  The second RVG Blast game works on NTSC or PAL60 as is.

Note these are two different games that play differently as I couldn't figure out why Hozer was failing to make the physical cart for the first. 

Just a few

Ok fella.

Tell me about Gemintronic mate?

Basically, we develop, manufacture and publish games for classic systems.  Mostly to get our games out into retro enthusiasts hands.  Also, to get published on Microsoft and Nintendo's storefront you need a company and a domain

I self published Upp and Upp Plus for the Atari 2600.  Was contracted out for Super Trash Truck (2600) by Saidai Games.  I developed and manufactured War in the Machine (Genesis) for Good Deal Games.  Also, manufactured Mega Pong (Genesis) for them.

Zap, so which version did you want to release?  Either version works but it seems the second one is the only one that can be released in carts.

To be clear (from what I've gathered) only Hozer has tried to make a cart and failed.  Not sure if other manufacturers have been tried out.  It's pretty slim pickings out there so I understand if other options didn't turn up.

But, I guess I should admit that my memory is a bit hazy at this point.  Did we try AtariAge and Albert couldn't get it to work either?
