  1. I assumed the OP was referring to some sort of limitation of the dumper.
  2. I can't conveniently hook my computer to the TV in the living room, hence the R77. Yes, difficulty switches and the like - RA doesn't treat them as toggles and instead wants them to basically be an on/off switch. I made modifications to the core to make that better, and all two people who use the core yawned politely and moved on. *laughs*
  3. Definitely not. Retroarch switch controls for the 2600 are absolutely terrible, paddles hardly ever work properly and any other controllers besides joystick and paddles are non-starters.
  4. Sadly, paddle issues were never _quite_ resolved on the R77. Granted, the state of paddles on the 2600+ is objectively worse.
  5. I don't think bumping the cartridge would have this effect, because it was already dumped...if you saw it try to dump again and reset, that would be different. This looks like a legitimate software crash of some sort (or perhaps the dump was bad but only on a byte or two?).
  6. That's actually not a bad idea at all - replica Warner-era badges that we could put our own names and pictures on would be really cool!
  7. It really was - I'd love to have a time travel machine (and an Atari ID badge!). 😃 I know for certain Sunnyvale sold ball caps, t-shirts and jackets, in addition to discounted systems (console and computers), accessories and software. I'm pretty sure the *didn't* have sneakers, but that's been remedied. LOLOL
  8. Yes, the people that own it and have sold some of it on eBay. There's also photos of the company store somewhere, with the merch on racks and shelves, though I haven't seen them for quite a long time now. EDIT: I want to say HSW also touched on this during one of his many interviews, but again, this was _years_ ago...I wouldn't begin to know which one, but it's easy enough to reach out to him and ask. EDIT2: Here's actual swag with the original company store tag still attached:
  9. The vast majority of the OG swag from the 70s and 80s was actually sold to employees at the company store. Weird - it won't let me delete a double post.
  10. That's unfortunate. I have the first-gen off-white sneaker with the original fuji logo in red and ATARI in blue on the side, and they are quite striking and I like them very much. I am also their target market, a 52-year-old Gen X who played the *crap* out of their Atari in the late 70s and through the mid-to-late 80s and make no apologies whatsoever. I don't wear the sneakers (or the multiple t-shirts) to boost company revenue or show off my "mall-rat" swag. I paid good money for them because I _like_ and _enjoy_ them. Everybody: Don't make assumptions about who buys what. I agree there may be a little bit of heavy-handedness with the marketing e-mails, and I'm not going berzerk buying their clothing, but I do appreciate some of it enough to own it. If it helps to further the business of making games, so much the better.
  11. I think one regression has been identified so far.
  12. Not sure I agree here - I haven't seen a variant mentioned here yet for which the ROM isn't already dumped, which by definition means they are known to exist.
  13. You are probably experiencing a floating ground issue. I suspect you're using the D9 adapter with a two-prong power supply? This issue does not exist on the 2600-daptor II nor the specially-made PDL adapter (created exactly to solve that problem).
  14. Newer models of the R77 have crappy DRAM that won't work properly with the latest Stella releases, and GSPro won't accept native controllers, so there's actually considerable desire for this very thing.
