oh man that thing was horrible. you ever try playing those cassettes in a regular player? hahaha we'd also force normal cassettes into the recorder because they were cheaper. the hardware manufacturer hadn't made the custom tapes small enough to really cause an issue when using 'unofficial' storage media haha

Yeah, most of my games by far were pirate copies

Playing them in the regular player was a bit like an 8-bit cover version of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music.

I do have a VCR. Funny thing though, just last night I was having problems making that work with my new TV. But hypothetically, if I do get it to work, how would I use it to hook the Atari up?

The most fustrating thing about Commodore 64 emulators is how every game has a completely different control scheme. Playing games shouldn't be a damn homework project.

unless you've got a fancy RCA only VCR there should still be a coax cable connection (the kind where you have to screw a piece of cable with a wire sticking out of it)

you'll need another converter but they're dirt cheap. (the bottom one)



any kind of random electronics / hardware store should carry these, should be no more than $2-3.

once you have those pieces in place all you need to do is hook up the old RF switch to the converter, pop that onto the coax connection on the VCR and select the proper input.
