Analogue Pocket Lynx Adapter Now Part of $99 Package
GrizzLee replied to gilsaluki's topic in Atari Lynx
Is there a guide to button mapping when using the dock? I am using a 360 controller with the updated d-pad. Seems to work well. I’ve discovered the flip controls feature by accident… right shoulder button. -
Im not a SW developer, so I ask this with hesitancy.... Any chance something of the sort could be done to support the jag spinner controls? Re-release the cart. Or provide a rom.

Got my box yesterday. That was fast. Thanks. Excellent service. Looks very nice and compliments my collection. I did notice a couple of games mentioned on the box that I didn’t realize supported the rotary controller. Is there a complete list somewhere?

I’d like box if you have any left.

THE BIG CHRISTMAS 2600+ GIVEAWAY COMPETITION!
GrizzLee replied to Ben from Plaion's topic in Atari 2600+
I always wanted to see Archon for the 2600. 7800 would be nice as well, but I want to see want can be done on the 2600. I also think it may be possible to see M.U.L.E. cybermorph type game on the 7800. Some sort of toys to life games for the Atari 7800. Use Atari properties like Bentley bear, centipede, a yar, the dot from adventure, etc and …. a big ask here… Nolan Bushnell as a character as well. 🤔 one can dream eh? -
I've had this cart for 2 years (FXPAK Pro) now and am finally getting back to it. Background... Ordered the Everdrives directly from Krizz (during one of his Black Friday sales) soon after I ordered my Analogue MD and NT systems. When I finally got my Analogue systems I got the MD stuff all working. The Everdrive Works great on the analogue MD and I couldn't be happier. However, the SFPAK Pro is giving me issues. I had it working (partially) on my SNES and then found out I needed some extra files for the enhanced chips found in some of the games. I was able to find about 4 or 5 of those. But now I can't get the cart to load or even recognize when there is no SD cart in the slot like it use to. I was chatting with Krizz about this in email exchanges when Russia invaded Ukraine. Krizz mentioned that my SD card slot may be defective and said I could ship it to him. But I never sent it back as I figured he had bigger things to worry about. Soo.. what I am wanting to do, is to find someone who has the SD card and FXPAK Pro setup properly and working that could guide me through the process. I found a YouTube video, and I think I have done all that properly... but I'm no IT guy and am on a MAC, so I am not sure. I have tried multiple SD cards and still nothing seems to work. Would like your advice. Can contact me via PM. Much appreciate any help.

Don’t get me wrong. the paddles worked. It appears there is some lag in the gain control they use to emulate them. My testing demonstrated some (for lack of better description term “inertia”) lag combined with over compensating when spun fast. It clearly reads the paddles as the jittery OEM paddles demonstrated this. I would like to have an OEM Atari next to the plus to compare properly. Do some proper comparisons and documenting both quantitive and qualitative data. A list of games that boot up and play is nice, but do they play the same? that is the question. FYI.. night driver appears ok as it isn’t such a twitch game like kaboom. I tried that and it’s ok. I’ll admit, I’m an outlier for the main audience I’m sure. I grew up before video games and the Atari was my true love. Played the heck out of it. Still do. BTW:is there a way to “fry”

I had high hopes for the paddles working. They feel sluggish on breakout. A possible dealbreaker. I doubt I could play kaboom like I feel it should be played. Kaboom and super breakout are 2 of my all time favs on the 2600. Kaboom and super breakout should be the benchmark by which all paddle support in emus should be evaluated Tried playing with the new paddles and older OEM. Both with similar results. In fact, the older paddles did exhibit jittery behavior. Things I am not sure of working are the starpath games (multi load as well as single load games) and the cuttle cart. The newer melody board carts don’t work according to Albert. I should have tried some of the champ games since I bought the new turbo and elevator action games at the show. Duh!?! Your mileage may vary… but from my chair the system didn’t perform as needed.

As a child of the “Atari Age” before the internet, I wish you the best Albert. I thank your passion to make AA what it is today. I'm excited for the future.

PRGE 2023 Intellivision attendees & exhibitors wanted
GrizzLee replied to Rev's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I’m attending. Will be sharing a booth with a friend. -
I’ll still take one.

I met Pele in the late 70s at an exhibition soccer match. I still remember buying the game at a Best store in Sacramento. Played the heck out it with my friends late into the night. still recall the rainbow fire work effects when a score happened. Pretty cool for the time IMHO. But I was easily amused back then.

Awe yes, I remember this well. I was one who got a refund. I truly believe had good intentions. Life events got in the way. Thanks for the memory lane trip.
