Hi so I'm hoping since this is a large community that other people have had similar experiences...
So I bought a homebrew game, Plutos, and it worked perfectly for the first month I had it and then I got busy and didn't play Atari again for about another month. But this time when I played it, the game went to a black screen after completing the first boss. I cleaned it and tried the game again, same thing happened where it went to a black screen after beating the first boss. I tried the game in another Atari 7800 that I own and the same thing happened still.
I've cleaned the game as much as possible and even cleaned the system, but all of my other games (7800 and 2600) work perfectly fine, I don't own any other homebrew games so I don't know if its a homebrew issue.
I don't understand why the game would just randomly start malfunctioning after working perfectly when I originally got it...
Any ideas on what it is? Or what I can do? I absolutely LOVE the game and am saddened that its turned unplayable.![:(]()
