Cartridge ROM Images

These are ROM images for use with the emulator.

Astrocade ROM Collection Astrocade Multicart ROMs

     Includes all eighty-five of the Astrocade cartridge ROM images that are on the Astrocade multicart. Everything that was officially released is here (plus far more)! Note that some of these ROMs require a real Astrocade to run and will not run with the emulator. Others will even require additional RAM for the real Astrocade.
ADS System Monitor ADS System Monitor - Author Unknown  2K

     A machine language monitor program that uses an overlay. It is unknown if this program is complete. No documentation exists for this program.
BallyCheck ROMs Bally Check ROMs

      Adam Trionfo dumped these two ROMs on July 15, 2008 from his two different BallyCheck units; the ROMs are identical. They match perfectly with the BallyCheck source code when set for old ROM. The ROMs, for completeness, have been named:

1) BallyCheck_(Black_Version)(20002FFF)[For Bally Old ROM].bin
2) BallyCheck_(Yellow_Version)(200027FF).bin
BalCheck ('Modified') BalCheck ("Modified") - 2K

This ROM were modified by Richard Degler so that it would work in MESS without the actual BalCheck hardware device usually required. (Mar. 5, 2010)

You can view some quick documentation here.
Beatles Music Beatles Music

     Eight different songs by The Beatles. This music was originally released on tape format by George Moses. In the mid-eighties Richard Degler converted it to cartridge format and made notes play along to the music on a musical staff. The eight original songs are:
1) A Hard Day's Night
2) Can't Buy Me Love
3) Eight Days a Week
4) I Feel Fine
5) Let It Be
6) Paperback Writer
7) She Loves You
8) Yesterday
There are also two additional versions of Yesterday and one additional version of I Feel Fine. This is a pretty complicated release, so there is a file included that goes into detail about the songs.
Claim Jumper Claim Jumper - L&M Software  8K

     A BASIC program converted by Mike White to run from cartridge.
Color BASIC Color BASIC - Jay Fenton  4K

     An updated BASIC featuring 32 colors. This cartridge was never released (this ROM is from a prototype).
     A WAV version, for use on RAM expanded Astrocades is available here.
     No manual was available, but Richard Degler disassembled the program and created documentation. It can be downloaded : here.
Fawn Dungeon Fawn Dungeon - Barry McCleave  2K

     An incomplete machine language game written by someone that corresponded with Bob Fabris (the editor and publisher of the Arcadian newsletter). The player in this D&D-type game can wander around a randomly created maze, but there are no monsters. This is an interesting piece of what might have become something interesting. As it stands, it is little more than a programming exercise.
Goldfish Demo Goldfish Demo - The Bit Fiddlers  957 Bytes

     In January 2008, Lance F. Squire converted the Goldfish Demo to run as a cartridge. This is the finished conversion (version 1.4); it runs perfectly.
I.C.B.M. Attack I.C.B.M. Attack - Spectre Systems  4K  1982

     Released into the public domain in 2001 by Brett Bilbrey, Mike Toth and Marian Nalepa (Spectre Systems). "I.C.B.M. Attack" requires a special hand controller to play - it can not be played without it." While the emulator does not support this controller directly, it can be configured to play it. Designed by Brett Bilbrey.
Menu-Demo Menu-Demo - Michael White  4K

     Demonstrates how to put graphics on the menu screen. This program is VERY short, but I've upload all 4K- almost all of it is empty space. Designed by Michael White.
On-Board '3164' ROM On-Board '3164' ROM - Bally  8K

      This ROM was dumped by Paul Thacker from his very early Bally Arcade console. He comments about his system, "The system itself definitely seems early as well. In addition to the different dust cover label, the red reset button, and the silver eject button, the casing is missing most of the explanatory text such as On/Off and 3/4 for the channel."

      Richard Degler took a look at this ROM and has some comments, "Differences from the "3159" BIOS are the SYSTEM Routine Jump Table (since the routines are shifted), and the location of text strings and the Font (which is why to use the Dope Vector). The date starts at 3604 and is the leftover "977" of WHITE BIOS. After that the built-in games have few changes, except Gunfight plays to 9999 (like the 1978 version) and has one color changed. CHECKSUMs #1 and 2, as well as FUDGE4 are also different, so the un-modified BAL-CHECK should work fine on this machine as it is."
Rainbow - Ver 2 Rainbow - Version 2 - Hanson  2K

     A program that puts a nice 256-color display on the screen. Note that the EPROM was noted with a sticker as "Ver. 2." No earlier version of this program have been found.
Sloshed Sloshed - New Image  8K

     A BASIC program converted by Mike White to run from cartridge. Check out the title screen on this one, it's funny! The game? Well, the game is a BASIC program...
Solar Conqueror (Prototype) Solar Conqueror - Astrocade Inc  8K

     An early version of Solor Conqueror.
Treasure Cove Treasure Cove - Esoterica  (c)Spectre Systems  8K  1983

     This cartridge was released into the public domain in 2001 by Brett Bilbrey, Mike Toth and Marian Nalepa (Spectre Systems). Written by Brett Bilbrey.
