doctorclu Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yes, I agree. I just didn't want to change too much up. I figured we were keeping the status' of the original ROMs in that column, and making notes of hacks in the far right column That's been the way I've been approaching it as I make updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 What I meant was when it states "Dpad not working" or such, it implies that it should in the original. And for those types, it's not the case. So far, every (unhacked) paddle controller game I've tried that is not in the AFB's list of included games does NOT work with the Dpad. Filed under "special handling". Obviously, keyboard/Driving/mouse-controlled or lightgun roms are a no-go, too. So keep it focused on the stick games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 So far, every (unhacked) paddle controller game I've tried that is not in the AFB's list of included games does NOT work with the Dpad. If it's true that only certain paddle games are whitelisted to work with the d-pad, then maybe we should make a list of them, because Warlords works and I don't see it in the default menu.

Arenafoot Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I tried the Masters of the Universe rom from this file but all that happened was a black screen some garbled sound. I thought it was fixed here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/258970-atari-flashback-portable-compatibility-list/?p=3653305 I have removed it from my folder of games (for the next upload) and also updated the AFP Compatibility List too. Has anyone got the Snow White prototype to work? It looks to me that Snow White is somewhat playable (also its only 50% of a completed game too). The opening screen does have some glitches, which is not the actual title screen though. If you hit the "S" button on the AFP the game starts at the correct title screen and plays from there.

Pioneer4x4 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I have a request for this list, can the standard ROMs that are listed as "unplayable" but have been updated to work, be listed differently, perhaps "modified to work" or something. This way it can be sorted by that column and separate the still bad ones from working ones easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left it in, since most people I tell about Halo 2600 have never seen it or heard of it and at least it is playable thru the first 3 rooms (up and down).

Got it to work. Thanks. Part of my problem was not having it labeled correctly (did not capitalize the first letter of the file). This caused it not to appear on the SD card within the system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way it can be sorted by that column and separate the still bad ones from working ones easier. This is a good suggestion, thank you. Arenafoot and I implemented the change. Column C, "file name" isn't really important -- I set this up before we understood the necessary formatting for the SD reader. Column E, "condition," now has "Modified to Work" as an option, and will come up as a blue label if selected. I suggest that a link to the modified ROM go in the Notes field so the non-standard ROM it can be located. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenafoot Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Top post is now a FAQ. Did I miss anything important or interesting? Excellent FAQ's list Flojo! Alot of the same info I did over at the other forums: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/2796-long-awaited-atari-flashback-portable-is-here/ The only change I see would be: the ROM file names end with .BIN or .bin both work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
