A lot of these games I haven't played before, so it should be a treat. I prefer the Activision compilation games, personally. They have more games I remember from my childhood and they usually have the old patches as unlockables. Tangible achievements! I still have my real life "Friends of Dolphins" patch somewhere.

"He who says "Whatever" game is "Whatever" everytime he posts is creepy, and everyone knows it." Seriously, where did that response originate

Here's a couple:

Creepy response to game is creepy. Awkward response to game is awkward. Introvert to society is introvert. Serial killer is serial killer (period).

Hrmpf, single large 'archive_bin' file for resources...so much for my hopes of being able to inject 2600 ROMs if this is using emulation for them :/

Just use Stella for the DS?

+1

Tempest is the real gem in this collection for me. It makes me want to bust out my Jaguar and play some Tempest 2000.

I had this game for the Playstation, hmmm yeah it was like tripping.... lol

I was unaware Stella could emulate arcade games as well as Atari 2600 games. Those stella developers really pull out all the stops, eh?


You probably should read your own quote over very carefully....

Now that you realize that you said nothing about injecting arcade roms into the DS rom....

Next up now that you have clarified that in fact you didn't mean 2600 roms in your first post that you actually meant to say arcade roms, I can honestly say you know nothing about what your talking about if this cart used emulation for arcade games the list of games you could swap into it would be horribly small.

The problem you see, is that very few arcade machines used even remotely the same hardware.

Have a great day.

Being a cocky asshole.

No, I meant it like this:
The Atari Collection - you know, the topic this is about - has arcade games in it as well. You said "Why not use Stella DS" which does not have Arcade emulation.

Have a nice day, jackass.

Pointing out the painfully obvious.

No, I meant it like this:

Have a nice day, person who is obviously more informed then I am.

I could care less what you meant, I can only go by what you said just to reiterate, you said "so much for my hopes of being able to inject 2600 ROMs if this is using emulation for them" Then when I suggested a solution to your problem you wanted to change up to "arcade games" and get all snarky about it

Honestly now how can your first post be interpreted as anything remotely resembling arcade games? How would anyone gather that crucial bit of information from your first post? The answer quite simply is they could not.

Anyway thank you for your kind words and I do hope that in the future you take more care in writing what you mean VS writing something else entirely which according to you is what happened here.

JonthanD, you've read posts/nicks wrong, and are talking about 2 different people :)


I'm aware of StellaDS...long ago I posted a couple builds patched to use DLDI (instead of relying on Slot2 storage) before the author finally updated it...but it's still not close to full speed or anything. I was interested in the emulation used in this ROM since it's got nice speed/sound/scaling. :)

I am wondering what 2600 games are not running full speed? I am using the last build and thats like 3 years old now and have played almost every ROM in the set, Before anyone laughs at me, the whole set is a little over 3MB's so it takes up less space then the average MP3 file.

Honestly amazing what they did with a few kilobytes of space.

Also sorry if I got you confused with some one who was responding apparently for you, how odd....

Edit: And yes I do know what the original hardware played like, I owned a woody 2600, the remade smaller one (wish I had kept that one it was cool) and a 7800.

I am so happy I was a nintendo kid growing up. These games are just awful. The only redeeming quality of this collection of games is now I appreciate those old nes games even more.
