Bought a couple of treats for my VCS. M.2 for a win10 install. Eventually i’ll get an external drive for linux mint

Yes put AA homebrews on the VCS store absolutely.

Yall sure are putting a lot of work into hacking a console most of you spent the last three years passionately hating.

does anyone know how long the battery life on the speaker hat is?

what the heck??? that is clearly a new VCS

I just got my VCS today and i'm really liking it! so far i've just used the web browser and missile command and vault. the form factor and build quality of the machine feels great in the hands and looks so sexy. I'm posting this reply from the VCS, with a unicomp Model M buckling spring keyboard attached.

I’ve seen two reports of joysticks breaking clean off after a couple days. Not looking good for the classic joystick. Glad i didnt back one. If they improve the build quality i will buy one.

By capcom you mean namco right? if so, they should give us DRAGON SABER

Would having 32GB ram help with software graphics rendering? i like how the VCS isnt massively powerful like sony and microsoft. Limitation creates interest imo... breeds creativity.

if only an rich arabian prince would invest millions of dollars in Atari stock

I like the VCS, it’s a cool atari console-shaped PC.

I look forward to playing City Of Heroes homecoming and Phantasy Star Online under windows on the VCS.

After a few levels of regular missile command on 2600 i already feel helpless AF lol i like the graphical style of the new one at least

Uh, from my experience, the proponents tend to be less emotionally charged than the folks who dislike the VCS. Anti VCS people will immediately tell you to use another product/PC/rasp pi/whatever as soon as you try to talk about using the VCS for anything. Frankly it gets overwhelming and makes me not want to discuss the console because i’m constantly bombarded with reasons why i’m supposed to not like it. My patience eventually wears thin from the massive amount of pushback. Call me a pussy or thin skinned if you like, i just think a lot of humans in this position would think the same way. The VCS discord group and facebook are full of people who left atariage because they were utterly exhausted from the negativity surrounding the VCS. People here act like being open-minded about the VCS is unthinkable and stupid. I don’t mind if someone dislikes a product, but damn, we should respect each others decision to buy or not buy something. I don’t troll people for not buying the VCS. People seem so fuckin proud of the fact that they dislike the VCS. Like they suddenly have a superiority complex because they aren’t “foolish enough” to buy a “scam” console.

I’m looking forward to playing this. I think it looks quite good. Trackball/mouse support?

We don’t have to be corrected or educated about why we shouldn't like it. We are aware of the alternatives. We are aware of other options. Please get off our case. Let us enjoy the VCS in peace. that is all.

I wonder if old neo geo fans will crucify and hound younger people for being excited about a new SNK console, constantly trying to push alternatives on them like PC’s that they assume they already own and Raspberry Pi’s. And them ban them from their forums for poking fun at their irrational hatred of the new SNK device.

I don’t own a windows PC. are you still hospitalized, wiz? Hope you’re feeling ok

Battlezone gold edition looks like it would run on the vcs under windows. I think i will play that!

At least then if someone were to buy the company, they would get EVERYTHING. besides, i would love to see a new battlezone on VCS. Perhaps with psychedelic tempest 4000 visuals.

It would be nice if Atari, SA could buy back all the atari properties owned by other companies. It would certainly be cool to have all the stuff under one roof again.

I think there is certainly room for an SNK console on the market. In asia, Xbox is nonexistent. It’s pretty much just sony vs nintendo in a lot of the world. Of course Atari and Amico are overwhelmingly western, so those machines have a huge uphill battle when it comes to getting recognition in asia. SNK really should take advantage of the korean and chinese, and japanese markets . Plus it would sell pretty well in the middle-east as well me thinks. That plus whatever sales they get from north america and europe could make a pretty succesful NEO•GEO console. I can see it selling more than any previous SNK system from the 90s honestly. The video game market is much bigger in 2020 than it was in the 90s.

Xbox controllers can also work on the VCS.
