    Finally.

    I say finally because only today I'm almost sure that my laptop is fine.
    Looks like BitDefender made a very big mistake this time. An update had a bug that made the antivirus see tons of wealthy files like trojan.fakealert.5. That's a very very big mess. I wasn't even able to boot my laptop. I presume that thousands of PCs had the same problems and now lot of users are uninstalling BitDefender, asking for refunds etc...

    So, stuff sold and shipped:

    [​IMG]

    Knife Edge Nintendo 64, USA version. I didn't test for differences.

    I've just tried Pitfall II for 5 minutes and compared to the released one (for a quick check I've taken a video found on youtube).

    I've noticed:

    -that the different colors behind the trees and under the blue sky, like a sunset, aren't there
    -that the underground wall on the left in the first screen is not there
    -that many screens have a different cut, I mean, that the part of the level shown is not the same

    There may be other things, and if Atari 2600 experts have clues let me know. I've tried the proto on my PAL Atari 2600 Jr and works, like the other NTSC games I have, without a single problem.

    Here you have some pics:

    You bumped a 3 year old thread to ask this? Just wondering. Did you know if you check the profile you can tell about when the person was last on.

    Last Activity: 01-16-2013

    So almost 2 months ago.

    Sorry for bumping this thread again, but I wanted to ask if anyone knew how I could possibly get in touch with Nicola, in any way? I tried his old email and messaged him on Assembler but I'm stumped on how else I could contact him.
