Bill Loguidice Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The emulator was tweaked to make certain games work that didn't work before, like Galaxian, which is now included. Whether that changed how it worked for the other games remains to be tested (I have not had a chance myself). It's likely that previous hacks will still work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So Berzerk in the vid was the hacked one I did? I used the link for the Flashback Portable rom set, so probably. Again thank you for making this happen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Hey all, just wanted to say congrats on getting this thread on the latest review of the AFP 2017. I think the community and all the games that have been discovered or hacked to work is the greatest feature of the AFP. Well, correction, the SD card slot was a greatest thing, and the community flew with it. Good stuff. Just saying hi!

ComputerSpaceFan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hi all, on the compatibility subject for the existing 2600 portable can someone confirm Pressure Cooker looks right? I just did a video comparing the 2600 handheld versus the old Genesis handheld (just for kicks, I know it's a bit like comparing apples to oranges) and when I ran Pressure Cooker the buns on the assembly line on the left side of the screen were all rainbow pattern-ish. Forward to the 14:23 mark of my video below to see what I mean. This is from the zipped archive of Flashback Portable games at the beginning of this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVq4rSk6n64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I don't remember what the issue was exactly, but Pressure Cooker wasn't playable for me and sadly had to be deleted. Graphical corruption that hindered the game too much was all that I remember. Edited August 12, 2017 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 CSF, is that Pitfall as hidden inside Mayan Adventure for Genesis? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Rewrites to COLUPF happen too soon for the portable to deal with (cycle 39 IIRC). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Rewrites to COLUPF happen too soon for the portable to deal with (cycle 39 IIRC). its greek to those of us who don't know code Nukey, is it fixable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 CSF, is that Pitfall as hidden inside Mayan Adventure for Genesis? Yup that's the one. I know it's not 100 % like original Pitfall but I was mainly using it to compare the d-pads and action button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Yup that's the one. I know it's not 100 % like original Pitfall but I was mainly using it to compare the d-pads and action button.I always thought that was a neat extra. I think it was re-created rather than emulated. There was a time that "Virtual VCS" for Jaguar seemed like such a cool idea. Nice video! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbabyte Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Air-Sea Battle is listed as working perfectly, yet it requires the right controller port iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenafoot Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Air-Sea Battle is listed as working perfectly, yet it requires the right controller port iirc. Same thing with Computer Chess. You are correct on both - I updated the Compatibility List to reflect this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 What/where is the "controller hack" thread..?Some games use the right joystick, which obviously isn't present on the portable. Nukey Shay and a few others have fixed a selection of them so they're playable with just the left controller. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/259166-flashback-portable-needed-controller-hacks/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangentg Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I thought the pressure cooker hack was perfect. There are other games that I thought were unplayable, but I deleted most of them so I forgot which they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5200Fanatic Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If the Gold version is the higher end and has HDMI, I don't understand -- why not charge the extra $10 bucks and include paddles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I thought the pressure cooker hack was perfect. There are other games that I thought were unplayable, but I deleted most of them so I forgot which they were. Not perfect...I could not correct the playfield updates (the far right side of the fryer on the main screen and the color of the conveyor arrows on the secondary screen). The portable is very touchy in this aspect. I left the first problem as-is, since it's only eye candy...and altered the sprites for the second. It's playable tho...which is better than it was.

When playing in the big box retail space, you have to hit specific price points and cater to retailer demands. It's not as simple as just bumping the price up a bit. A lot of how things are are the way they are not because no one thought of a better way, but because of specific constraints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
