New Atari Console that Ataribox?

[New Atari Console that Ataribox?]

next month AMD is going to announce its 4th followup to ryzen (Zen, Zen +, Zen 2 and soon Zen 3) since 2017 this shitbang started with a A8 was it? from 2014 then moved to embedded zen 1 ... maybe zen + 

 

one could build a zen + cpu with a dedicated gpu with 8GB ram at this point for around the same price, maybe even with a windows 10 license

 

 

 

just for fun here's my wife's 3600x computer I built for her birthday, discounting the fact I had the graphics card already its about 500 bucks worth of parts ... with 5TB of storage and 32 gig of ram 

[modern games not fun anyone]

then turn it off and stfu, you know why I never complain about kingdom hearts, cause I played the first one for like a full hour and returned it to the store. wow

 An FPGA core is just another clone hardware in practice.

And this is the biggest misconception, no it is not a clone, its an approximation and just like I said at the beginning of this thread it all depends on who makes it.

 

There might be emulation that is extremely accurate 

There might be FPGA implementation that is just enough to make it work

 

it might be vice versa, but that magical acronym doesnt mean its instantly the best of the best and flawless, its just a chip off digikey that someone chose (I mean here's one for 1.18$ im sure it plays a mean game of breakout, has to its FPGA)

[New Atari Console that Ataribox?]

production has begun? heh ... 

[Does anyone know where to find this rocker power switch?]

make sure the physical size is the same (measure it) and that the volts and amps are correct, which means you might be better off getting it from digikey, mouser, etc rather than onehunglow who knows aliexpress 

[Does anyone know where to find this rocker power switch?]

nothing turns up on findchips, its just a generic rocker switch anyway, nothing special about it 

[modern TV LED that works with NTSC]

really? must be cause I always buy off brand cheapo's lol, I know my tiny little craig does pal fine, as do my 2 older TCL's and I am in NTSC land

[modern TV LED that works with NTSC]

I have never ran across a LCD (LED is the backlight) that doesnt work with NTSC and PAL... they use a universal decoder board and the panel is not locked to the wall frequency

[Sony Playstation (PSX PSOne, PS1) rom and tech questions]

yes the PBP is a executable playstation portable file, not just a disk image and can be anything from simple programs to game launchers or bootable disk images, I think but am probably totally wrong but I think its Playstation Binary Package

Nice that is really cool. I would love this, but you know COVID19.  

yup, I have not used this thing in a while, work is tight, baby on the way, looking at my BOM cost I am selling it pretty much for the price of the base material, not including labor, paint, graphics, 3d printing filler plates for the jag shell, and setup ... but yea couple bills would pay a baby bill and its sitting around 

[Sold: Coleco Chameleon]

For sale is the coleco chameleon that I made while all that fiasco was going on, its essentially a raspberry pi in a box.

 

What you get is ...

• Meanwell Power supply (I forget the exact specs its on the bottom of the board, I think its 5a)
• Custom board to handle power on and off though the case power switch and LED 
• Raspberry Pi 3B (not 3B +) 1.2Ghz quad core, 1GB ram, wifi + BT
• 16 GB SD card for OS (like 10 gigs free) 
• Extensions to break out 3 USB ports, HDMI port, Wired network port, and analog AV ports  
• ASUS Bluetooth controller (normal generic xbox 360 style)
• Custom cart containing a 120GB  Samsung MSATA SSD on a USB 3.0 Converter that is mostly full of "stuff"
• Coleco Chameleon brochure from the 2016 New York Toy Fair along with an invite to the 2017 Retro Gaming & Collectibles Expo
• One mostly used roll of electrical tape 

 

Items that are also included but not what one would call features ...

• DVD containing backup of OS, power control script, custom splash screen, and some basic instructions if you need  
• Half meter long USB 3.0 male female extension cord  so one can actually plug the 120GB jag cart into a computer to manage roms
• HDMI cable
• Power Cable

 

What I am asking ...

250$ Shipped, USA and Paypal only

 

Thanks for looking, stay safe

So now, Atari has moved from "asking for money in exchange for something we might never deliver" to "asking for money in exchange for literally nothing".

 

 

 

seems like natural evolution to me, people were ______ enough to give them 3 million dollars

Here it is guys, Street Of Rage 4 is finally here!! Is it any good? Well, I thought the initial previews were awful but here I am with my honest first time ever impressions of the game as I boot it up for the first time.

dunno, didn't really care for the franchise in the first place and it looks like a soulless flash game, least the originals had something enticing about them ... more than a scrolling jpeg and some cell shading with slow moving animation bobbing up and down cause yea ... people bob up and down at a slow rate when trying to kick your ass

[USB INTV Controller?]

yea the atari 2600 controllers use a, dunno how to really describe it, its usually the female side that would plug into a tab, but they have been bent out and slide onto the board sideways so like fdr4prez said unless you break a connector off its solder free

 

so when handling the connectors its best to grab them by the body or neck and not the super thin wire, and especially when removing them try not to let them "pop" off the board (which yanks the wire) 

[The Raspberry Pi and Retropie discussion thread]

yea beta + open source = better wait a few days at a minimum 

[New Atari Console that Ataribox?]

you are being optimistic about something that equates to a 2 year old bag of trash making a difference

I wouldn't be surprised if Ataco's creation is just very low-end raspberry pi.  Something like this in the video:

 

funny it looks like an apple (bandai) pippen 

 

 

guess if one is to invoke random retro awesomeness and make it seem fresh retro, make it a clone of a system no one bought, like a jag renamed coleco ... hm excuse me, I need to start on my hyperscan set-top box android clone campaign

[New Coleco RGB board?]

300 mv on a standard that swings +- 1v ... don't chase the dragon so much in analog realm, this crap was made up in the 1960's

 

and built to the absolute lowest cost, "that will do" standards
