Hey everyone,
I'm having some issues with my AtariMax flash cart for the 5200. It plays most ROM's just fine, but there are a handful that just won't play. They will start up, but after a second or 2 they crash - scrambled graphics, sounds, etc. until they are unplayable. This is always on the same games, and always in the same manner. Amongst the games that don't work are Frogger 2 and The Last Starfighter.
I've tried altering the settings, using different ROM images, using different SD cards, and running the self-diagnostic. Nothing seems to work.
Looking at the status screen, I have firmware version 20110125. I compared with my friend William Culver and he has version 20130504. I'm thinking mine is out of date somehow (even though I got the cart not that long ago).
Does anyone know how to update it? The Atarimax website has an FAQ, but the section that explains the firmware update is greyed out. I've reached out to Steven, but haven't gotten a response from him after a couple of emails.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
