Today's Bible Verse: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin." ~1 John 1:7
00:00Hello once again everybody, this is the K2R2 or K2 Retrosecond coming at you guys with another video and this time it's going to be my first tutorial video.
00:09I've never done a tutorial video on this channel until now, so yeah.
00:15This is going to be the first time I do a tutorial video on this channel for you guys.
00:20So today I'm going to teach you guys how to dump the ROMs for Atari 50 legally.
00:26And I said, legally, because I don't condone piracy, I condone you guys getting legal stuff.
00:36Alright, so please do not pirate Atari 50, please do not pirate any of these games on this list here.
00:46Do not pirate these games, get a legal copy, you know, because Digital Eclipse worked very, very hard on compilations like Atari 50.
00:56So it's really best you get them legally and you'd be in your best interest to do so, definitely.
01:03Alright, so without further ado, let's begin the tutorial.
01:07So, the first thing you're going to need is, I said, a legal copy of Atari 50 for any of these games on this list here.
01:17And these games on this list include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Cowabunga Collection, The Making of Karateka, Garbage Pail Kids,
01:25Llamasoft, The Jeff Minter Story, Tetris Forever, Blizzard Arcade Collection, Muddy Morphin Power Rangers, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection.
01:33So, this tool here, the Cowabunga tool, it works with all of these.
01:40It definitely works with these.
01:43So, if you guys want to learn how to dump this, you can use my tutorial, which is this video here,
01:49if you guys are having a hard time using the Cowabunga tool.
01:53So, definitely get the latest release of the Cowabunga tool, which at the time of this video is V1.0.2.
02:02I don't know if there are plans to update Cowabunga in the future.
02:07Hopefully, the developer of this tool actually updates it soon.
02:15Hopefully, you know, maybe when Digital Clips puts out more, you know, retro compilations,
02:23you know, maybe we can see this tool support those in the future.
02:26But, hey.
02:28So, of course, you want to download the latest release of Cowabunga.
02:33And after you do that, you should see this.
02:38So, this is what it looks like.
02:40We have Source, Cowabunga, and Cowabunga64.exe.
02:47So, in my case, we're going to put this Cowabunga64.exe into where this Atari 50 is.
02:57Assuming that you guys have Atari 50th anniversary celebration,
03:01of course, that's where you want to put your Cowabunga64.exe.
03:06So, yeah.
03:07So, now that you completed this step, now you want to do the next step, and that's open up CMD.
03:15So, right here, you click on this URL bar, and then you type in CMD, and then it'll open this up,
03:25which is the command prompt.
03:28Now, the next step you want to do, and this is where we're going to be talking about the keys,
03:37and this command here, literally this command here.
03:41So, if you want to manually type this, that's fine.
03:45But, just for the sake of making this tutorial quick, I'm going to copy and paste it for you guys.
03:50So, you can copy, paste, just like that.
03:57So, it should look like this, right?
04:04And you can see there are a list of possible keys that you can use.
04:08So, pretty much these keys are for different games.
04:14So, of course, if we use Cowabunga on the Atari thing, it's not going to dump the thing.
04:20So, what we want to do, what we want to do is we want to change Cowabunga to Atari.
04:32And so, what this is, so you're also going to type in assets.py and then assets.zip.
04:39Because assets.py is right here, right?
04:44So, after you have this typed in or copy-pasted like I did, you want to hit enter.
04:55And so, what this is going to do is that it's going to make an assets.zip in the directory.
05:03Now, it's going to take about a couple minutes or seconds to do.
05:10So, you want to sit back, relax, and be patient as the ROM's done.
05:15Now, it doesn't take forever to do it, you know, but I can only assume it probably takes long depending on how many files are in there or something.
05:23So, that's all I can assume.
05:27So, let's sit back, relax, and be patient, you know.
05:30So, get a drink, get a snack, you know, maybe watch your favorite show on TV or something while you wait.
05:40Or, in my case, read a Bible.
05:44And let's wait.
05:46So, we're waiting, and we're waiting, and we're waiting.
05:52So, it's still working its magic, but once it's finished, you should see a message saying that it's complete.
05:58Well, in some sort of way.
06:02So, here we go.
06:05Hopefully, it'll be done.
06:09And not to mention, this also works for the DLC files.
06:12So, for the DLCs, you'd have to use Atari DLC 1 and DLC 2, which I'm also going to show you guys here in this video as well in a bit here, once this is complete.
06:26So, we are still waiting.
06:38Anytime now.
06:40Anytime.
06:42All right.
07:10And it's done.
07:10So, you should see a message here that says, the output file, assets.zip, was successfully converted and is a valid zip file.
07:20So, you should definitely see this message.
07:24And here you can see, this is the assets.zip file.
07:27Now, I'm going to open this up with, excuse me.
07:30I'm going to open this up with Winrar.
07:34And with Winrar, look at that.
07:38Oh, look at those assets.
07:40Look at those assets.
07:40Look at those assets.
07:42So, you got ROMs.
07:45And as you can see, we have the ROMs here.
07:48But you got Atari 800, 2600, look at all those 2600 ROMs here.
07:55That's a lot, huh?
07:57You got some 5200 up in here, some 7800.
08:00And then you got these arcade ROMs, and then you got these arcade ROMs, which I don't think they work with MAME.
08:07At least, I don't think they do.
08:09I don't think so.
08:11But, either way, it works.
08:16It actually works.
08:17And you can play these, like, 2600, 5200, or 7800 ROMs on any emulator of your choice.
08:26So, it's just proof that it works.
08:31So, let's dump the two DLCs, you know?
08:35Because, let's say you want to dump the DLCs, and you want to play, like, let's say, the Amp Air prototype, or the other DLC games on the emulators, right?
08:47So, of course, we see these Pi files here that say DLC 1 and DLC 2.
08:54So, we're going to do the same thing that we did before.
08:58Which is this, except we want to type in Atari DLC 1.
09:12Now, what you also want to do is you want to change the name of this to simply DLC 0-1.
09:21So, I'm going to type this in right now.
09:26Did I type it in right?
09:28No, I didn't.
09:32Alright.
09:38There we go.
09:40So, it should look like this.
09:43And, here we go.
09:47So, what it's going to do is that it's going to dump the DLC files.
09:52So, again, make sure you're patient as you're doing this.
09:58And, it should work its magic, which it's doing.
10:05And, there we go.
10:07There we go.
10:10Look at that.
10:12DLC 0-1.
10:13Open it with Winrar.
10:17There are the ROMs.
10:20Look at that.
10:23Ah.
10:26Ooh.
10:26This thing really does work like a charm, doesn't it, you guys?
10:37Alright.
10:38Alright.
10:39So, we're going to do one more.
10:41And, that one more is going to be DLC 2.
10:46So, again, same thing.
10:48Change Cowabunga to Atari DLC 2.
10:58And, there we go.
11:10So, let's watch it do the work.
11:11Like I said, just sit back, relax, and be patient.
11:28There we go.
11:30There we go.
11:31See what happens when you're patient.
11:39So, let's open it up with Winrar.
11:46Wow.
11:47Look at all those ROMs.
11:50And, of course, they work on emulators.
11:52So, you can play them on any emulator of your choice.
11:54And, there you go.
11:58That's it.
11:59So, that was pretty easy.
12:02I think that was very, very easy.
12:04What about you guys?
12:05Do you guys think that's easy?
12:06I think it's easy.
12:07So, there you go.
12:09That is how you dump the Atari 50th Anniversary Celebration ROMs.
12:15So, I really thank you guys for watching.
12:18And, I really hope this encourages you guys to get these games legally.
12:23And, to start dumping the ROMs legally.
12:27And, I really hope this tutorial is pretty helpful for you guys.
12:32So, that is it for this tutorial video.
12:34I am the K2R2 or K2 Retro Second.
12:37And, I thank you guys for watching this video.
12:40Stay tuned for more videos coming soon as always.
