Announcing: Atari Assault high score save

[mattosborn]

All sold out. Waiting list started. If you'd like one, just send me an email at [email protected] and I'll put you on the list. Once I get a few requests I'll order the parts and take payments. Thanks.

 

[mattosborn]

I have two people on the wait list now. If I get a couple more I'll go ahead and order the parts. Thanks.

Installed and working!

Should anyone care, I've put up a set of pictures similar to what Matt did at

http://www.kohne.org/mike'sprojects/installing-the-assault-hss-multigame

The only difference is that I used pin-strips to create a raised socket so that I didn't have to solder directly to pin 30 on the EPROMs. That way, should another upgrade occur, I won't have to get out a soldering iron in order to send my chips in for re-programming.

Awesome implementation. I have one kit to install for my own game being restored and will be contacting Matt about another one.

I also let a few other Assault owners know about the next batch.

Best,

Bill

Nicely done! I created a link on my page to yours.

Thanks. I've just fixed the URL in my post - I originally put in an unnecessarily long one. Here's the corrected one, if you wouldn't mind using it instead: http://www.kohne.org/mike'sprojects/installing-the-assault-hss-multigame

I have four people on the wait list now (Mike, Ken, Bill, Troy). Anyone else?

 

[Black Matrix]

Well hell,
I meant to buy one of these already. Looks like I better get on the list before they are gone for good. Put me down for one.

 

[mattosborn]

I have a few more of these available. I'll be shipping some out on Monday.

 

[mattosborn]

I have 5 left. Order today and they'll ship out tomorrow. Price is $40 each, shipping included. PayPal to [email protected] ("gift" payments are always appreciated, but please remember to include your mailing address in the comments section if you choose that method).

 

[mattosborn]

Bump. 4 left.

 

[mattosborn]

I have just one kit left now. After that these will only be made on-demand, so there will be a waiting period (~week or two before shipping) to get one. Thanks.

I finally got around to putting up a webpage for the Assault Plus high score save:

Bumping an old thread.
Is there anyone left out there with an Assault that doesn't have my high score save installed? No excuse.... just plug-n-play.
I think I have the parts on hand for 4 more kits.

 

[FrizzleFried]

No Assault here... but I do have a Crazy Climber....

>grin<

 

[mrbill08]

I recently let one Assault owner know about your kit and should have already contacted you.

What is the "choice of two different games at start" and can you disable the 2 player option in the settings?

Yes, thank you. Erik is enjoying Assault Plus now. That is what made me think to bump this thread. Prior to that, I hadn't sold a kit in several months... was starting to think that maybe every Assault owner out there already had one.

 

[VectorCollector]

Good you bump'd the thread, I forgot all about it. $$ sent.

Taken from wikipedia:

Assault was followed by Assault Plus, an upgraded version with redesigned visuals and color palettes, and adding higher-ranked enemies to earlier stages; instead of a linear run through all 11 stages as in original Assault, the game is presented in episodic format, with each episode titled "Rehearsal for the Core" and "Battle for the Core" respectively. Rehearsal takes place in Stages 1, 3, 4, 5, and the first area of Stage 1 - and Battle contains all the stages except for Stage 1.

I don't think there is a setting to disable 2-player games, but without a 2P Start button you just won't be able to start one. With the 2 or more credits on the machine it will say "PUSH 1P or 2P BUTTON".
