In your opinion, however, I can only think of a handful of games that use an analog controller There were very few retro-arcade games that use analog controls too. All my favorites used standard arcade joysticks that work the same as classic Atari joysticks but of arcade quality, and as far as rotary or trackball games, the 8-bit has those too. The ONLY way you will get a retro-arcade experience is on the actual arcade machines or mame. the 5200 and 8-bit are retro, but not arcade. the 5200 was the home arcade of the early 80's the A8 only the greatest computer

didn't mean resolutions on paper, put a c64 and a speccy game side to side usually the spectrum version looks better , though mostly monochrome

Really? I'm surprised. in fact if you open FB2 you will see a very poor quality Chinese-like pcb i'm surprised even some games work at all The only good thing about Flashback 2 is its size and controllers.

I would say Go for 1541 ultimate if you have the money, can even run easyflash carts,tapes and disk files Or The less expensive ide 64 can run 1 file games very fast

i've also found that on fat 32 partitions SIDE loader can't see more than 256 files in a directory

This depends on what you did setup. Did you follow the manual of the MyIDE interface? Do you use the latest/newest MyIDE interface or an older one? In case of an older one: does your MyIDE have the LS573 fix? If your MyIDE interface does not have an IC on it with the code "LS573" your MyIDE interface is not 100% compatible. I'm also wondering: do you have a built in MyIDE EPROM in your Atari? Or are you using the Internal Version of Steven Tucker? Did you update to the latest MYBIOS? He meant with the Transcend module. They are very 'critical' on timing, and they have a very minimal mass (ground), which is not a good thing. Anyway, with the LS573 fix also these Transcends work fine, since the LS573 fix is the missing part of the MyIDE interface. With that fix installed, the MyIDE interface is extremely rock solid. Please follow all instructions in the MyIDE manual. I'd almost say: it can't go wrong... One more thing, as long as you are checking for the LS573 on your MyIDE... please make sure that there is a wire going from a +5V point of the MyIDE cart to pin 20 of the IDE interface. even on a new sandisk 1gb card you can't get more than 256 images on image mode, i think there's still a bug on the firmware

not as crisp as Longhorn's 2600 Mod

i really enjoy my Jag, and always wondered if it was more powerful on 3D than 32x polygon games look quite similar on both systems

Maybe when you release gauntlet you can make an Ataritris for me Then my collection will be complete!

Would really want the atari color monitor if its in good condition Pm me

Though the A8 is amazing, you won't get the same retro-arcade experience the 5200 can provide

Ohhh, The Speccy It Still it has it share of amazing games, And though the palette is very limited, the resolution is way better Than c64 or even a8

Love everything Atari but still think the mighty 64 Rocks ...

nice scrolling. will try it today

I have a spare , new boxed one Controls pretty well, unlike boulderdash 2 5200 Pm if you want it

bump

Atari win Plus 4 rules...

if you take pacman plus out of the equation there's nothing left in there for the 7800 the XM looks vaporware, and no other games were showed in a long, long time but the 5200 could get 4 to 5 2012 new games! let's see: tempest your game Gauntlet Cloack&Dagger

hi everyone! wanted to know how big is image mode on myide? tried even on a 1gb card and image mode gets corrupted after 250+ 2d images i think its a firmware problem tried with last 4.7.04 update aon an atarimax myide+flash cart

nice demos, screamings wings with enemies upgraded with this technology could very well turn into a good 1942 game for the A8

i own and love the 7800 and CC2 not so much many people on those forums though

Interesting. I play my 5200 more than any other computer or console I own. Different strokes... That's just because it's so big it's always easy to find! if you have a spare room , then go for the 5200 and an atarimax ultimate sd cart...

w look on page 33 of that ...pdf for cyclinder head sector & then calculate with the formula for setting the image page and all the rest should be your's IF myide will even see it at all..Lot's of problems in the past with this module.. do you mean lots of problems with trascend module or Atarimax cart?

the card is this http://www.transcendusa.com/support/dlcenter/datasheet/Datasheet_DOM40V-S_128MB_16GB_%20v1.2.pdf how can i know where image mode stars?

looks amazing as a collectible not sure if i would ever play it though...
