The flashback controller pinout is all over the place, not a mirror of the sears/intellivision2 pinout. So I don't think those adapter cables can be used in the reverse application unless you change the gender at each end. 8bitwidgets should be able to make an adapter cable for your application.

I only tested getting past the titlescreen. At the title screen press the fire button and the game plays, that's with the atariosb firmware. With the altirra firmware, black screen after pressing fire at the titlescreen.

It also has the rare 1983 Mattel Electronics Canada dealer catalog.

Controller signals goes through the sound chip ay-3-8914.

I got it working using the atariosb.rom firmware. Also get the black screen using the Altirra default firmware. Altirra 4.01.

I remember the August 2020 delay announcement was advising they weren't ready. It was 2021 when they were using parts supply as an excuse. In summer 2021 they were showing in development work with Cornhole so we knew they were still working on that game. They weren't ever in a position to go to manufacturing, but the work with Cornhole doesn't look like something that couldn't get done during manufacturing preproduction prior to mass production. The backend systems, financing, risk tolerance were probably more the issue than game development.

No, didn't get any of them. Thanks for asking.

I always played level four/disc. After a certain number of missions the game suddenly gets impossibly hard. The way this game ramps up difficulty isn't right. It might as well just end after x number of missions.

It's a big if, but if controllers ever get produced it should be possible to make drivers for various operating systems. That can include settings for the touchpad to emulate a mouse or a third game controller button. If they open the controller api, developers should be able to use the controller and its display screen outside of the amico home app. But I would expect a scenario where a small number of people prepay a relatively high price to get them made. And I just want to make the distinction between hours and hours of content versus replayability. Some people do play darts or cornhole, for example, over and over throughout their lives. It would be nice for these controllers to be out there for developers to use with local multiplayer games with controller displays. Another example of misrepresenting what's been said. While there has been some trolling, obviously another reason is simply to add to the discussion. People should be able to comment without the mischaracterisation or any characterisation. Referring to the Ars Technica 2021 article, while the writer doesn't claim to be a journalist, this was one of the things wrong in the article as there were no preorders or crowd investing until 2020. That announcement as described in the article never happened.

The instructions say to fly evasive maneuvers to avoid flak, so thats what I did. It seemed to help but not sure, after a few missions nothing helps as the games ends from aircraft damage.

Don't all European Intellivisions have a 4Mhz crystal. This paricular Intellivision, photo above, has an Intellivision II chipset.

Here he's explaining to a user that's comparing the game to one using VR equipment, how VR uses optical sensors to track aim and angle in the throw and why this game does not. Accuracy errors are inherent with systems using only an accelerometer and gyroscope to calculate its position through space, which is how the first version of Amico cornhole attempted to do it. It does not apply to the second version, which is similar to motion control games on other systems that also use on-screen graphics to establish aim and throw angles.

A hard turn at high speed should get you some drifting. Oversteer can lose you control or possible do a 180.

Cartridges with the updated left/right steering rom are more common. To be clear, left/right steering cartridges use the side buttons to continue after a crash, where the directional steering cartridges require a keypad press to continue after a crash.

What version of Auto Racing is on the Flashback? The directional steering version is considerably more difficult to me.
