This looks sweet! I'd like one copy of the game please.

Wow, that's one loaded XEGS. This make me want to mod one of mine, just because.😁

Mine is #4729 pre-ordered on Amazon.com in the USA.

Depending on the publisher, they sometimes came in boxes. Some came in a ziplock poly bag with the manual showing prominently through the bag.

Thanks. I always click on the "Code" box and download the zip file. I didn't even notice that "Releases" was a hot link.

I'm not seeing it there, all I can get is the readme.md file. In fact that is the only thing in any of the Jailbreak files.

I have recently acquired and Atari Touch Me which looks pretty good but unfortunately it is dead. It wasn't too hard to open, it is held together with molded plastic tabs. I opened it with a plastic spudger without too much difficulty. I have already checked for obvious burned or leaky components, but none were apparent. I also checked the power, it is getting through the power jack to the switch PCB. Does anybody know were I can find a schematic for this thing? It's not very complicated as there is only one IC a bunch of resistors, four LEDs, the LED display and a couple of transistors. If the one IC has failed, I guess it's done for - the part is marked C10745, I assume that this is some proprietary Atari part, as I was unable to locate a datasheet for it.

I don't have time to go through my list right now, but some highlights of my loose carts are: Qberts Qubes, and Rescue Terra I. I also have a couple of really early homebrews: Edtris, and SoundX.

I have collected many things "Atari". What kind of Atari collection were you thinking of? Since this is the 2600 forum, I assume you are talking about collections specifically related to the Atari 2600. In that case I have a couple of hundred loose carts, and 40 or 50 boxed games.

After carefully examining the pictures, it seems to me that the details are too accurate to be a reproduction. It's not like these are selling for hundreds of dollars. They're going for $30 or less, there would be no financial incentive to make such an accurate counterfeit. I think it's the real deal.

Wow, that does seem to be in really good shape. If that is also really serial number one, you really lucked out. Does it function? It does seem unlikely that this is some sort of reproduction, however many of the early hand held games, have had modern re-releases so it is possible, though I've not heard of this particular one getting that treatment.

Given the patches and updates that the previous minis have received, I think that many of the concerns that people have thus far express in this topic, will be addressed either before release, or soon after release. So even though I certainly don't need another mini, and I have almost every model of Atari 8-bit already, I preordered one from Amazon.

Yes, you are right. You still need AC to produce the -5vdc. So you couldn't do this with a stock 800, as you need the -5vdc for the 4116 RAMs. However if you've upgraded to a modern memory solution this would work.

Since the 800 has a bridge rectifier on the input, you don't actually need an AC voltage to run it. I haven't tried it, but as long as it had enough current capacity, you should be able to safely use any supply between 13-15VDC and polarity would not matter.
