Ahh... For some reason, I thought the Hokey was included...
Guess I'm gonna be taking that ballblazer cart apart. My A800 is keeping hers Pokey.
How difficult is it to remove a Pokey from a Ballblazer? It’s not socketed by any chance is it? I don’t have a desoldering station, is it doable with an iron and a desoldering braid? I haven’t removed anything delicate like this before, but I’ve repaired a few Genesis 2 reset switches. -
I'll keep posted during the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) for the next batch to be put out, then I'll have all the time to snag one up, if that's what it takes then so be it I'll do it.
....and in case that doesn't work out I'll try next week as I have already asked my work to take next Wednesday off unpaid (mainly due to my SSDI-mandated salary cap issues) but also so I can finally get one, as I can't wait to premiere the all-new 7800 Edition of The Atari Report either in January (hopefully) or February along with the 8-Bit Edition of TAR.
This is why God created smart phones and bathroom breaks.-

I got mine as well, and can confirm it is working. Sean from Pie Factory Podcast and 7800 Homebrew Podcast and I were chatting, and he got his e-mail as well.
I should’ve mentioned I got an email notification as well. Thanks a lot!-

Concertos are up and I was lucky enough to snag one. Good luck everybody!

This looks pretty cool. Can’t wait to see what everyone thinks once your carts arrive.

Once a viable 7800 flash cart is on the market, would I be able to purchase a ROM?

Sega Saturn question - I'm enjoying the MODE greatly, but simply would like to know about plugging/unplugging controllers SAFELY while the system is on- SPECIFICALLY pertaining to alternative controllers. I snagged some light guns for instance, but cannot navigate an ODE menu so easily with a trigger and start button. If playing alone, I have tested "House of the Dead" with a gamepad in player one control port and a lightgun in player two. Am I ok with launching a game with a gamepad and hot-swapping to a wheel or gun controller or is there a better way?
I don’t think hot swapping controllers will hurt anything. Could you launch a game with the second controller while keeping the gun plugged into the first port? -
Has anyone figured out exactly what files you need to get Intellivision games running on the jailbrake? I’m confused about this INTV2 file format that the Noir needs. Could someone gently nudge me in the right direction?
Besides Intellivision I’ve been able to get mostly everything else running. I haven’t been able to find the exact files it needs for Odyssey 2 speech games tho based on the checksums in the jailbrake documentation.-

Is the Analogue 8 still a thing? After the Duo's announcement, I thought it was just a passing trademark that fell in the proverbial crack. Did Kevtris or someone else at Analogue confirm that the Analogue 8 and the Analogue Duo are not one and the same?They let the Analogue 8 trademark expire earlier this year. Since they never made a formal announcement it’s anyone’s guess.

But as others have said, I suspect we’ll see a stripped down NT at some point.

WTF. My Flashboy doesn't look like that. Did you paint it yourself?
My Flash Boy+ has a white case with red lettering. What are you asking for Hyper Fighting? -
I'm still not entirely sure what I should get since I've never played the FC/NES before aside from various emulated versions of Super Mario Bros. and Metroid and stuff, but I'll figure something out.
I’d just get an Everdrive or wait for the inevitable jailbreak. -
Just got a email saying my NT Mini Noir is shipping. I’m off work next week so hopefully FedEx will pick it up and deliver it with the quickness so I can have some quality time with it. Hopefully you guys will hear something soon too.

I've received issues 208 and 209 (both badly damaged), and yesterday I got 210 and 211. Never got 206 and 207 and there's no way to request those issues from the site.
What's the current issue?
I’m missing issues 209, and 211+. It looks like 213 is the current issue in the UK from what I’ve been able to ascertain. -
I’m glad it’s coming out this month. I really expected another delay.
-
After this last batched shipped I moved up to 208. Glad to see some folks are starting to get these.

While I never got any replies to my messages to Retro Gamer (or the survey for that matter), my missing issues are starting to trickle in. Got one last week and two more today. They’re not arriving in any sort of numerical order, and look to be shipped from somewhere in the US.

Just been asked to complete a survey.
I didn't hold back.
I got the same survey and did the same. In the survey questions it mentioned temporarily storing issues, but this is the first I heard of that. Hopefully I’ll get a response back since my last inquiry has gone unanswered.

I’ve sent CDR’s via Media Mail tons of times without issue. I have a pile of these too that I’ve been thinking of letting go for the cost of postage to keep them out of landfills. Can you recycle these discs?
Offering these for cost of shipping and not for profit like those Etsy folks, is cool in my book. I’m sure someone could put these to use.-

Here’s my Retro Gamer archive. Hopefully my missing issues will turn up soon.

I haven’t received any subscription copies since issue 205 as well. I was sent two replacement issues when I contacted them, and they showed up fine after a couple months. I tried contacting them again last week via their new website, but haven’t heard back yet.
I recently finished my run of Retro Gamer a few weeks ago, so hopefully all my missing issues will show up okay. I did order a few new issue binders which came in just fine, so there’s hope yet. -
If anyone missed out and wants to grab one of these at retail, Best Buy currently has stock:

I have a couple Cospa track jackets. They run smaller than US sizes but are still manageable. Much better than normal Japanese sizes which are not compatible with my 6’3” frame.
This is a lovely jacket and I love Macross, but I already have a jacket problem. Good luck with the sale! -
4 hours ago, theatarifan2k said:I don't have a picture sadly this was years ago and i would try it but i feel like i would damage it.
If you're not doing any hardware mods, just modding it to play emulators and homebrew, there are some very good guides that will walk you through it. If I can pull it off anyone can.

Turns out it was not a ps vita it was a psp go he basically took everything apart in put a bigger lcd in and other things.
That sounds crazy, have a picture?
For the most part a PSP is pretty easy to mod in this day and age. Be sure to search for a recent guide and you’ll be good.

I haven’t had any luck with Intellivision either.
