  1. You might try Stellar Track - it's a version of the old "Star Trek" game that's been around since the 70's. Its turn based and does require a bit of strategy and resource management. Not a lot of folks are into it, but I played the heck out of it when I was a kid!
  2. Anyone know what size heat sink would work for the ram chip on this? Any thoughts about adding a fan? Just trying to head off issues - recently got an Amber Retron 77 for the bedroom TV, already had a woodgrain one for the living room that has never given me any issues.
  3. I had a chance to play around with this a bit this evening, things seem to be working well! So much cool stuff in there, going to take a while to paw through it all. The only hiccup I found was that Bobs version of Galaxian for the 7800 would not load, but there is no art either, so it may just be a placeholder. Thanks again Rocketfan! You Rock!
  4. i was following this pretty closely and was super excited about each new update. I would be very interested in a way to download the newest builds - gotten pretty fond of this little device!
  5. I have one of these sitting on my shelf (FB8 Gold, non Activision), I was never brave enough to try to mod it, but maybe you will inspire me to take a crack at it one of these days!

    With the OTG adaptor, wouldn't the Trooper II work through USB on the Retron? Is Stella set up to recognize joysticks other than with the 2600Daptor or whatnot? I realize that it's probably easier just to plug something into the front panel though! Just curious!

    Maybe slightly off topic, but, has anyone ever made or seen a dust cover for the Retron 77? Mine seems to collect dust like crazy! lol I usually keep it in the box, but Ill pull it out and leave it hooked up for a few weeks at time when I need some Atari time.
  11. Hey all, I am having a weird issue with my Flashback X. I had the older update firmware on it and I tried the nexus pack - everything worked EXCEPT the 2600 games, it just would go to a blank screen with a flash every few seconds. I thought it might be because of the firmware, so I flashed the new firmware 1.9 with the 1.2Ghz clock speed. The unit boots up fine and functions normally without the usb Y connector - but if i try to use the Y, it will not boot at all. even if there is not USB drive attached to it. Ive tried 2 different Y connectors with the same results. Any ideas what is going on with this silly thing? And yes, the Y was working fine with the older firmware. NEVERMIND: I started over from scratch for the 5th time and everything is working fine now. Bleh - electronics are so weird sometimes!
  12. I really havent noticed any kind of lad with either usb adaptor/controller - if there is any at all it is extremely small. I think you'd be happy with the Trooper II - its a bit looser than an actual Atari stick, but you adapt quickly!
  13. Hey there, You might try this one: https://www.microcenter.com/product/627549/hyperkin-“trooper-ii-premium-atari-2600-style-wired-usb-controller-for-pc-mac-raspberry-pi-retro-pie-linux-joystick or get a 2600daptor and use a real Atari stick :http://www.2600-daptor.com/ Both work great with Altirra!
