Kinda like a new GM car in the first year of production!

Me too. Mozilla 1.5 and IE. Neither shows up. I think they are full of shit. If soemthing really were there, someone would have reposted it.

"Please dont pick on me?" -->Translated: "Smash me with a baseball bat!"

It doesn't work with PCAE. Bummer. Best emu, I think.

I planned on using a rotating control panel with three sides. Pull the lock pin, rotate to desired side, push the pin back in. I bought 6" lazy susan swivel bases to do this. If the panel doesn't go 360 degrees, you can do this without using a slip ring. three sides are good for 270 deg of rotation. The swivels are somewhere in the mess in the garage with the rest of the stuff.

OOoohhh. I remember Red Baron. That was a good one.

Or gold...

I take it he doesn't cook much,

My Mame Cab Project has been sitting in the garage since 1998. I had two cabs then, a pac-man, and a Mario Bros. Both were gutted and hacked by arcade operators into something else. I got rid of both of them. Then I got a cool one similar to an asteroids cab, but with a better console. My wife just rolls her eye's at me. There's a box somewhere with all the goodies from happs, and a J-pac board somewhere else too... I really need to clean out the garage...and finish the fireplace...and remodel the kitchen... and finish the rear landscaping...and then there's the motorhome refurb project. I think I'll finish my mame cabinet in about 2020 thereabouts.

ummm... Don't you mean Nutting?

Hidden? On my cart, Plasma Pong scrolls by in the game select list.

I just bought my new Jag from DominiRican05. Nice collection of 11 games including Tempest and Defender, which are what I wanted. Ok, so I'm 38 and therefore D-Pad retarded. I will have to hack a controller for this out of arcade parts or maybe a genesis six button joystick I happen to have collecting dust. Anyone made any custom controllers? I have heard of tempest controllers using a 2600 driving controller. I Plan on doing that too. Please post pics if you got em. My thoughts on the system overall are that the system was probably ahead of it's time. Yeah, many of the games are pretty lame, but the system as a whole was sooo underutilized, much like the 2600 was in it's infancy. If only the Jag had the benefit of 10 years of product life. I liked the classic version of Defender. The newer versions on the cartridge are too fast and really unplayable. Tempest Rocks. I can only imagine how good Asteroids would have been on this console.

UPDATE: IT IS A REV. B FLASHBACK 2!!!!!!!!!!!! I played Quadrun and the Voice-Synthesis was intact! So the sound issues obviously was corrected. I'm gonna use my Rev. A for a possible cartridge mod. I love my Rev. B!!!!!!!! 964187[/snapback] I believe only Walmart (as a nation-wide chain) sold the "Rev. A" version. 964257[/snapback] And there you have it. "Wal*Mart. Low prices, Lower quality."

I have an A8/5200 emulator for my Dreamcast. It appears fairly straightforward to me that a peiceof hardware could support all the variations too. I sense that this is what would be the case if the FB3 were to be A8 or 5200 based. As for dual cart slots, I think that a flash card socket would be more likely. Atari could release roms in this form factor, yet the console could also read a ram flash card if the right Data were on it...such as homebrews and hacks copied on them from a PC. I think this would serve the public best. It would allow all of us that have old disks and such to use them again on a more modern peice of hardware. I would hope the thing has SIO capability and maybe IBM PC keyboard compatible too. If FB3 were 7800 based, I simply don't see the market. The FB1 already did this, and succeeded with regards to the general public who doesn't currently have a 7800 like most of us do (where the sound differences didn't matter). Ditto for the FB2. The FB2 is nice, and will be great for the same market, plus it serves us atari agers too with the extra games and the hackability. I think a 5200/A8 machine is the most promising. If it has the ability to play all the related formats and use currently existing flash card technology, then the market for it is huge, even as a stand alone regular production machine to sell alongside the PSX , Xbox, etc. Add developers, and the sky is the limit. my 2 cents.

No, from Asia, they look like this: ohsoitjustgoeson,andoffitdoesgolikeuptolikeeasynormalhardveryhardtypethingitsjustnormalwhichisoffthenhardwhichison

I found MAME back in 1997 while surfing for 2600 emulation of all things.

Those are flourescent displays. Cost a lot to manufacture. Fragile. They were great, though, weren't they?

Dead Link...

Ewww... Goodwill stuff is gross enough without going into a shitty dumpster for it. I agree with Davewake. Offer a donation for them to set it aside. only downside with that is they may then think that the stuff has value (!!) and no longer discard it. They also may not be able to negotiate.

My N64 is just sitting around for when My Kid comes to visit. The last two visits, he didn't even play with it, He bought his carts, but we found better things to do. I think my will be going in the closet for a decade or two.

Yeah, Target is the last retailer I thought I'd see something like that. "Full size" could mean cabaret version. They were about 5' tall. The top half of the ms pac-man is kinda cool. Looks like the statue of liberty in planet of the apes. I'm contemplating building something inside of a nice coffee table where the lid flips around and the controls are then sticking up. It won't look like a game machine when the lid is closed. After all, When analog TV goes off the air, I will have a nice 40" Mitsubishi CRT just sitting there waiting for some input. Might as well be games.

That thing is a Riot.

A better poll would be: which do you prefer, the Original straight center bar or the Bellbottom shape? I prefer the original, however I am partial to the Atari Games version with the more modern Font and the wave of color. I think the new bell bottom shape logo looks dorky.

Yeah, Farrah Fawcett's maybe. I have one of those. My 11 year old likes it, and I use it sometimes too. It has good action. Feels like an analog stick on a Dreamcast.

$1,100+??? You gotta be f*ckin kidding me.
