has anyone played that game? suposedly a worker at bungee thought it would be hilarious to port halo to the atari 2600, i played it online its pretty fun
Sure have.
wut.
Yes, and it was reasonably fun to play.
The programmer even wrote a little thing about how he managed to pull it off on the hardware. Pretty nice!

I'm not to hot in it either, but what you need to do is burn an eeprom ( make sure it's either 4 Kilobyte, or 32 Kilobit). The typical 4k atari board uses a 24 pin chip, but I can't find that anywhere, so I'm going to have to use a 28 pin, and pull the unneeded pins to ground, etc.
Anyway, just read this: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/167186-atari-2600-cartridge-eprom-help/ (http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/167186-atari-2600-cartridge-eprom-help/)
Does it even play on the Real Hardwear??
Yes it does.
Also, have you guys heard about the Castlevania port?

i dont think so, though i could be wrong. HOWEVER if you petik1 make a hard copy i would pay you to make anouther one for me
Ill try to work on it. My first priority is to make a copy for mark at classic game room to donate. After that ill make another and if youre still interested well work something out.
im like seriously interested, if you do get one made PM me with a price and then ill see how interested i am, oh and good idea sending one to CGR
I'll have one made. Is it ok if it's just a PCB? If not, I can get a cart for extra. Label will look like this:

If you choose just the PCB, it will all be clean; no wires, all components soldered on.
Personally I don't think you need the '2600' on the label. I think 'Halo' would look fine but that's just my opinion. :) I like it otherwise though!
Added one that omits the "2600"
Very nice!

is a PCB a just the inside (im not hot on this stuff), if it is i would like to have a label
That could've been easily answered by Google. Yes. PCB stands for Printed Circuit Board.
Sorry for kind of Hijacking this thread :-[. Has anyone found the glitch yet? It's on the same screen as the first gun
