But both carts don't work on a A7800 ? that is my way to play these gamesThanks for the info, Arcademan.
The new Berzerk Enhanced is great, the diagonally-shooting robots really up the ante in later levels, you have to be way more careful when approaching them which makes clearing a room much more challenging and fun for me. Firing speed of the robots gets faster and faster, up to a point when you are greeted with a deadly and fast hail of laser blasts from all directions when entering a room. Random placement of robots also causes hilarious situations when the engine places a couple of robots right next or above/below you. Quick reflexes will help to clear the room in an instant in this situation but do a wrong move and you're dead in half a second. Love twitchy games like that.
As it has been mentioned, there was an enhanced unofficial version before, it was released by Atariage in 2002 and made by Mike Mika. The hack mainly focussed on added voice samples which were missing in the official release, also the colours were corrected. The new enhanced version has more to offer than this but if you're mainly in the for voices, the hack is great if you can get it for a decent price.
If you're referring to A7800 the emulator, well, I'm not familiar with Atari emu, maybe fami could help you here.But both carts don't work on a A7800 ? that is my way to play these games
I meant actual A7800 . Crap I do most of my A2600 gaming on that beast. Don't have an AV modded 2600 yetIf you're referring to A7800 the emulator, well, I'm not familiar with Atari emu, maybe fami could help you here.
If with A7800 you mean the original machine, Berzerk Enhanced works flawlessly on it, Mr Run And Jump does not, at least not on mine (PAL unit, UAV modded).
I hated starting in a room and getting shot by a robot before you could even think about moving. Frustrating enough in Berzerk, triple it in Frenzy. Worse were the reflective white walls because there's nothing better than shooting and killing yourself. The wall dots on Frenzy are shoot away so not only can you cheat shooting the enemy, they do it to you in spades!Thanks for the info, Arcademan.

The close placement of robots to the player or of the player to the electrified walls can be frustrating if a good run gets ruined by it, that's why I made it a habit to keep the fire button pressed when a new room starts to prevent running into a wall or robot. Of course that's not always helpful if there are shots coming in, gotta be on yer toes.I hated starting in a room and getting shot by a robot before you could even think about moving.

Apart from that crazy 10-piece Atari 50 remake collection for 1000 bucks, some more remakes have popped up in the Atari shop, like Fatal Run and Dark Chambers for 7800 and more 2600 stuff for hefty prices. All of them except Berzerk Enhanced and Mr Run And Jump are labelled as "USA Exclusive".The 2600+ is a great disappointment and I won't be using it, although the accessories will be useful. I guess the hedge fund sharks who own Atari now want to sell remake carts along with blank PCBs.
Was the picture black and white or did you get no output?Thanks. Funnily enough, I tried it on a 1084S monitor today, composite cable. Didn't work.
I got no picture at all, probably as the output of the 7800 is RF, and the 1084S monitor is composite in (I realised this but thought I'd try anyway). I didn't have a composite lead to try with the 7800GD output. I did get 2 TVs to work with the RF signal, tuned for analogue TV, but crap picture of course.Was the picture black and white or did you get no output?
I would use a SCART/RGB version of the MD2 cable.
This sounds like my journey to get the 7800 running on a decent monitor, somehow these old machines have a weird sync output. My 7800 is UAV modded, which means it has S-Video and stereo RCA outs and came with a HDMI adaptor and RGB SCART interface that also outputs Composite (it's a weird lil' device, never seen something like that before). Neither the RGB SCART interface, nor Composite fully work on any of my CRTs, I get a picture but it's b/w. The only monitor which accepts the signal is an old Dell 4:3 LCD PC monitor, picture quality is decent, although I'd much prefer a CRT.I got no picture at all, probably as the output of the 7800 is RF, and the 1084S monitor is composite in (I realised this but thought I'd try anyway).

You are spot on about SCART, as only the MD2 -> RGB SCART worked, when connected directly to a TV. It didn't however work when connected via OSSC -> HDMI, nor did a RAD2X MD2 -> HDMI work.
Basically, anything requiring signal processing didn't work. Something to do with sync issues. Apparently, the RetroTINK 5X Pro works as it has frame buffering that compensates for flaky/variable sync rates, making it the gold standard, whereas OSSC fails with flaky sync with older systems, as it has no frame buffering. I've bought a tink as my new go to scaler, therefore, although in fairness OSSC has worked with everything else I've got, pretty much.
Dude Legit I didn't know about these sites. Thanks for posting this.BTW in case of interest I did some digging for the best romsets, and the following seem to be the most definitive (thanks to Mitch on AtariAge for the links). The fact that they include all the PAL versions of the games (as well as NTSC) is important for me, as the NTSC games just don't work properly on my PAL 7800:
