I have created a video with five tips for the 400 mini: Most of them are probably already known. But maybe it will still be useful to some people.

Thats weird. I had the same. I initially used the USB-C cable from the 2600+. Then he also switched off at one point. Then I used the supplied cable and never had any problems again.

And this is my review video of the Atari 400 Mini:

Here is a new image of the system with the controllers. The top right button, is that a paddle?

The MyArcade Gamestation Pro is up for pre-order at select retailers. Like here at Office Depot: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/2589311/My-Arcade-GameStation-Pro-Atari-Retro/ If you look at the photo, it looks like they added a paddle to the controller!

I made a video about how to install RespeQt on Linux.

After all the questions about the build, I have made a part 2 video, with complete building details: And thank you fdr4prez, for the information.

If you look at the latest video from 'BHG Media Group', he claims that Atari had only one batch of VCS's manufactured made during the Indiegogo release. But it turned out to be way too many. Since then no more VCS's have been manufactured and Atari now only wants to get rid of their stock. I don't know if this is correct, but I doubt it. Let's assume that this is not correct and that Atari really wants to continue with the VCS. I think this should be possible, if Atari puts just a little more energy into it. They can well market the VCS as the best machine to play indie and retro games on. To do this, they still need to make some minor changes. If they focus on indie and retro games, they should separate them more clearly. On the VCS dashboard and the VCS store you now have the distinction between games and apps. They should split the games section into VCS games, Atari 7800 games and Atari 2600 games. If they revive flashback friday then the VCS games won't be flooded with retro games. Then the VCS games are shown more prominently, which makes it more attractive for developers to bring their games to the VCS. Atari could also release 800, Lynx and Jaguar games, without compromising clarity in the store. More indie game developers should be persuaded to bring their games to the VCS as well. If you're already making games for Steam, it's probably just let Unity do a VCS build and send it to Atari. The owner of Orange Pixel has already calculated in one of his videos that such a small action can double your sales volume. With that example, it shouldn't be that hard to convince indie developers. I believe DavPa is already working on this, but so far I don't see much happening. The VCS should also be released in Europe. I know this is harder than it looks. Existing stock must be opened up to add European power cords. They should also have to apply for a CE-marking for Europe. But I think with a little effort this is possible. There are many potential VCS buyers in Europe.

I tried this pinout, but made some minor changes to get it working. I've captured the entire process in the video below. Here you can also see the pinout I came up with.

My Atari VCS unboxing and setting up video. I also ran into the known update problems. In the video I tell you how I solved these. And I tested a Rii X8 mini keyboard with the VCS.

I made a video explaining how I imported the VCS to Europe.

Vote submitted - Continental Europe (Netherlands) Atari VCS 800 Black Walnut All In Bundle Bought during the holiday sale. Then had it sent to Europe via an intermediary company.

Agree on this. In the Tramiel period, Europe was Atari's main market. The XL/XE and ST were quite successful here. Many of the buyers of back then, would probably buy a VCS now. It now seems that Atari no longer wants to put any energy into that and yust sells its current stock of VCS's in the US and then stops with the VCS.

I already had made sure that the linux bootlog was no longer visible, but I had not yet found how to configure that the Emulationstation splashscreen is not shown.

That is indeed a problem. I recorded the spoken audio with my phone. In the video editing software the spoken audio is set to 100%. I need a better microphone and better video editing software. Thank you for your comments.
