  1. I think if they did a actual chip it would be a all in one and not pin compatible with the original chips.
  2. Is there a character set that is just plain laser quality instead of looking like a vintage printer?
  3. Its held its value. You could always ebay a few. I have a pile of drives and found I don't even use them. Just have atr files on a SD card... including 5mb ones I use as virtual hard drives...
  4. Ps There are some cheap 48k boards for 400s on ebay.
  5. Yep. They get away with those games on AliExpress. I would recommend not using it.
  6. I added a fujinet to my atari 800 and found it is all I need. No disk drives or printers. Just a sd adapter for my pc ($1) to download atr's to the sd card. My phone can print to my wireless printer so I access the fujinet webpage from it to forward documents to my printer.
  7. Sorta cheating but I'd still be interested in emulator carts just to avoid needing more consoles on my desk.
  8. I have a utility to make atrs but what I do in real life is just make a copy of a existing one and format it with dos. If your asking mounting steps, sorry don't know that altirra. 😂
  9. @TrogdarRobusto I guess I'd suggest trying to get a little shelf space in retail video game stores (target, GameStop, et cetera). Even if it's just enought for 4 or 5 games. Do some multi cart 2600 game packs to be add ons for 2600+ purchases. Later if we talk you into 130xe repos you can rotate through some classic games on carts too. The audience isn't as big but one exists. Just had a contractor notice my atari 800 and start asking about how he could get one / loved his as a kid... plus with fujinet you have wireless and with a big atr on the sd card a virtual hard drive... Pretty easy to use and desk isn't cluttered with accessories (disk drives) anymore. As to the hotel; I'd be in just because there are few good arcades. Dave and Busters is all there is chain wise and they don't really have many good games. Like people go to casinos hotels just to gamble and have dinner (without staying) I could see some people doing something similar with a arcade hotel. Last of all I think Atari has a window right now if they can take advantage of it. Modern gamers are complaining right now games look good but aren't actually fun to play. If you sell a system for the price of a AAA game and games for $8 instead of $80... Pointing out your games are actually fun.. some people might try Atari out.
  10. I think of them as drives 1-8 and the system is going to boot from drive one.
  11. I've been wishing someone would do a internal one (no joystick) with one of these pico devices. Have it act like a bit3 or austin Franklin. I have a bit3 and with these sd atr storeage devices letter perfect (which supports bit3/af) is pretty sweet. I can map the program, dictionary, and data disks to different drive letters in letter perfect's settings (that are saved / doesn't have to be set everytime) and just get work done without fumbling with disk swaps... Or disk drives either...
  12. Even just a 80 col card... Have it respond to commands used by other ones so it emulates them.
  13. Sorry to ping you here but not sure if you have direct message notifications on. Could you check your messages? I would like to buy a crt8021. Thanks
