Quick Update

admin@guddler.co.uk — 2011-11-03T22:19:42+00:00

The Stargate cab was sold a long time ago, Asteroids Deluxe is still available should anyone want it (see below on how to get hold of me). I’ve had a twin Initial D 3 for just about a year now. To make some space, one half of that is on it’s merry way very soon. I’ll probably get around to taking some pictures and adding them to the site at some point. In other news I took delivery of a NIB Tron Pinball last month. That’s a hell of a lot of fun! Finally, sorry, but the contacts form has been removed. In the years this site has been live basically the only contact I’ve had from the form have been spam, or people asking how to fix their Asteroids PCB - or can I fix it for them. Since I don’t like Spam (well, actually, the edible kind is quite nice!), and I don’t offer a commercial repair service, and never have done, the contact form is history. If anyone has a valid reason to get in touch with me then frankly, you should already have my contact details, but just in case you don’t, I’m a moderator on UKVAC and I can be reached through the forum over there.

Games For Sale

If anyone is interested, my Asteroids Deluxe is for sale at £750, cash on collection from West Somerset. Very, very good condition and fully working. The Stargate is as well (same price) but I currently have a buyer lined up for that. I will update here if that turns out to not be the case, so if you’re interested then you should probably still get in touch. I will add more pictures of the Asteroids Deluxe as soon as I get the chance to pull it out and photograph it. Seriously interested parties should use the contact form to get in touch. Thanks.

Asteroids Hacking

admin@guddler.co.uk — 2011-01-17T00:48:53+00:00

So, what do you get up to when you have nearly two weeks off over xmas? I’m sure most people sit down and do sensible stuff like drink themselves silly and stuff themselves with food. Sure I did some of that but I also decided to familiarise myself with the Atari DVG and hack about with 6502 assembler code on an Atari Asteroids PCB. Here’s the visible result: Unable to display content. Adobe Flash is required. The finished end result is actually a test routine for the real PCB. By toggling a setting in the code you can display nothing, which is useful for when you’re getting the MPU code running, you can display just the cross, which is useful for simple debugging of the DVG and you can display the full animated screen which fully exercises all aspects of the DVG. Want to find out more about this? Join the thriving community of video arcade collectors on UKVAC and in particular, you’ll find a considerable discussion on this bit of code in this thread.

Downloads fixed

Noticed that all the download links on the site were broken yet again so fixed them. Hopefully they’ll stay fixed for a while this time!

Cab sold

Just a minor update. The Egret 2 is now sold, gone to a new home and moved to the “past games” category accordingly.
