    The reason the enemies respawn is because the entire system only has 128 *bytes* (not kB, not mB, just B) of RAM. You have to really pick and choose what you decide to store on memory.

      @roymerkel8008 3 года назад +13

      If I recall correctly, I beleve the Superpath Supercharger game packs (might be wrong, this is 3rd hand information) allow an additional 128 bytes of memory, at the expense of even more $$$ to purchase and some code complexity to develop for -- as well as tape speed loading times ( :( ). Not sure, though, if that would give enough available memory to properly store both cleared though... (Also I beleive some other mod carts also add more RAM with less code cost, but they'd have to use unofficial hardware for that -- I don't believe any other official or pseudo-official cart supports extra ram though, sadly)

      There *were* schematics drawn up for a PAL 5200, but it never panned out, probably due to a combination of the 5200's unreliable controllers and the video game crash of 1983.

      I never really could tell the difference between the 2600, 5200 & 7800. They all looked the same and played the same. I couldnt see any improvement at all. So the 2600 was still the best atari of that era because it had a bigger game library. And i think the 5200 and 7800 would play 2600 games but not vice versa. They didnt play or look any different. So i didnt see any reason to upgrade. There werent enough games on the other two systems to make it worth it. You basically would be buying a new system to play the same games. I think the 7800 could have competed with early famicom. But developers were kind of jaded with atari by then. So not many were making games for it and the ones who did never used its full potential. And also a lot of the games for it werent made to use its full potential because they were made to also play on the 2600 which was still selling better at the time. They didnt want to exclude 2600 owners so they basically made the games to run on its specs but be compatable with the 7800. But atari was known for mistakes like that. They could have made much better games for the 7800. But they didnt want to cut their market size to only those people who had the 7800. It wasnt selling very well cause it honestly wasnt much of an improvement. Their strategy was to hold on to old customers with backwards compatibility. When they should have been putting their focus on really pushing what the 7800 could do to wow in new customers.

    The incorrect colours is to do with how all 2600s produce colours on an analogue signal
    The 2600 (and most other consoles from the 70s and 80s, including the NES) uses 2 different parameters to produce the systems colour palette, luminance and chroma, for the 2600 it had 8 luminance rows from dark to light and 16 chroma columns including greyscale for a total of 128 colours (the rows and columns dictate to how they are represented in image form on most websites including Wikipedia)
    This method on the 2600 Was optimized for NTSC regions, so when the 2600 was ported to PAL regions there was no optimization done to the palette, meaning the chroma is squished along the palette leaving 2 greyscale columns along both sides and the actual chroma inverting along each columns, odd columns would be normal and even columns would be inverted.
    As it would seem, the pal copy of zippy is the same cartridge with a slightly different shell. Now that's just laziness

    • @GerbilSoft
      @GerbilSoft 3 года назад +4

      The PAL version of Zippy is adjusted to use the PAL TIA's palette. The problem is it's PAL60, which basically means it uses "NTSC" frame timing but with the PAL palette. The 2600 RGB mods don't recognize this, so they think it's an NTSC game and apply the wrong palette. (...sometimes; other times, it *does* recognize that it's a PAL60 game. Not sure why.)
      Do note that PAL60 on the 2600 is basically a massive hack, and was never officially supported by Atari back in the day.

    • @CptJistuce
      @CptJistuce 3 месяца назад +1

      He's actually tricking the RGB mod.
      To make a long story short, the RGB mod replaces a portion of the graphics hardware in the system, because the VCS graphics chip only outputs chroma and luma signals. It probably isn't programmed to handle PAL60, because there's no real way to detect it on this platform.

    The reason for the PAL/NTSC issues is probably because the way that the colours are encoded is different and 60hz PAL signals running into a television that doesn't accept both signals won't be capable of refreshing each scan line correctly as the screen will need to be drawn far quicker than the television is capable of.

    Haven't gone through all the comments so I apologize if this is answered or stated elsewhere, but as you have the RGB upgrade in place, that RGB board will try and select the right palette based on the game inserted. The PAL60 likely throws it off making it think it is an NTSC game and so it loads up the NTSC palettes as a result. It looks like you have the second button installed on the console to control the RGB behavior. There is an option where you can hold the button in for such an amount of time and lock it into PAL or NTSC modes only. As I'm in the US, I tend to lock these boards down in NTSC mode so they only switch between the 3 normal palettes for that region etc. I've seen reports of even some NTSC games throwing off the RGB board and coming up in PAL colors even when they shouldn't be. So locking in the mode seems the best way to avoid this.

    For those of you not in the know, the 5200 is loosley based on the 8-bit line. That is why it needs the VCS adapter. Does it work with game carts from the 400/800/600/1200? Not really, as the 600/1200 were still being made at that time.

    Looks like you have Tim Worthington's RGB mod? By default, it selects the NTSC palette based on the 60Hz refresh rate. This can be disabled by holding the palette switch (presuming it's installed) for 10-19 seconds.
