I’m hopeful. My video modded 7800 is my main goto system with sd cart to play my games and the new non-compatible game releases. For now, the 2600+ sits, boxed, with my other shelved systems with hopes of being able to play my favorite games someday. I do have a, basically new, retron 77 that will be going out the door for the same reasons. With that stated , I love the new games like Mr run n jump and berserk. Keep ‘em coming.

Been staring at my 400 mini for the past week. Have't found some time to sped with it yet. Sooo.... am I understanding that games that work with the masterplay will play fine ? ... or is there lag? Asteroids , Space Invaders come to mind. My play on the 5200 has mostly been limited to the "digital" control games that I could play with the Masterplan. Although, the 8 bit line has many counterparts that are similar, if not, the same game. My first computer was a 400 back in the day when I was in High School so I think this is uber cool.

Interesting. On my 3 Nuon system they are not crisp (Toshiba and Samsung units) with component video. I have the same Space Invaders collection as well as IS3 on my PS1 running under S-video and they are all much cleaner. I am not the only one who has noticed this.

I wonder why the games were blurry on the Nuon. The dvds looked great… but the games always looked like I was playing them in composite video.

Good point. USB port or some other means.

I bought mine with hopes of running my games in HDMI format. My large 2600/7800 collection is like 90% boxed (many titles stilled shrink-wrapped) and it is somewhat overwhelming to be honest. So I am hoping that someday I can play using something like my Cuttle Cart/Harmony cart off a menu like I do now. I'm an exception, I'm sure, as my boxed collection of carts will stay boxed. The only exception is many of the newer home-brews stay next to my system.. but that's getting to be annoying as well. However, most of those won't run on the emulated 2600+ software/hardware. For now my 2600+ stays boxed next to my other units with high hopes. I'll continue to use my A/V modded 7800 for all things from that era. I do want the system not to have any paddle lag. I am a big fan of the paddle games on the 2600 (Still play Kaboom and Super Breakout on a regular basis). Being 60 years of age, I just can't train my brain-to-hand reflexes to match the lag I experience. Personally, what I'd really like to see... an FPGA based Atari 2600/5200/7800 unit along the lines of what Analogue does. A unit that plays original carts and is 100% compatible with all games, including ones not made or supported by Atari (3rd Party, home-brews, and SD carts). C'mon Atari... you can do this!! 🙂 Fingers crossed for the Atari 400 mini. 🙂

Any word when the next "official" firmware release will be? Will it be as easy as downloading from my Mac to a SD card and inserting it?

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.

Just saw this. Many thanks and Happy New Year

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?

Ya, I think you are correct. Guess I’ll re-engage krizz.
