I like the size and the keyboard. All it needs is a better way to transfer files to it! Preferably via WiFi. Some other (minor) improvements would be: a more recent DOS than the DOS 2 version an external monitor connector. or a better display with a higher resolution.

🤷♂️ We have to ask @Andrew Davie here: https://woodgrain.taswegian.com

The PlusCart is only checking if the WiFi module (ESP8266) is connected to a router. The PlusCart firmware assumes that a internet connection is present with a router connection. If the router is not online the PlusCart requests to the PlusStore API will timeout (AFAIR after 35 seconds) and only the local menu points will be displayed (Setup, Offline ROMs and SD-Card for the PlusCart Duo).

Modifying the Multisprite Kernel ... its complex for sure
Al_Nafuur replied to Mike_at_AEI's topic in batari Basic
Will this new kernel work for 1942 bB too? -
https://thebrewingacademy.com/products/uno-2600-cartridge But I am not sure if it is with the UCA firmware: https://github.com/Al-Nafuur/United-Carts-of-Atari

Has been done by others here on the forums. But I don't think Atari will do it with the stock firmware, because this would affect the sales of new cartridges.

No, never. The 2600+ (and Retron77) approach of dumping the ROMs is fundamentally incapable of working with "active" cartridges. Only if the system is really interacting with the cartridge like the original 2600 then it can work:

Yup one of the many Brazilian PlusCarts. They are mostly making the PlusCart Duo in Brazil. I have seen them on mercado livre before (but not with shipping from Florida). https://lista.mercadolivre.com.br/pluscart#D[A:PlusCart] I am fine with anyone who builds and sells PlusCarts, as long as they are labeled as PlusCarts in some way. It states "Pluscart by W.Stubig" on the label: A little too small for my taste, but what the heck🤷♂️ $148 seems to be very expensive at first glance. But if you consider that it most likely had been assembled in Brazil where import taxes for electronic parts are very high. And then it had to be shipped to Florida. This does not leave a large profit margin for the manufacturer. You can't compare it with my price either, as I offer the PlusCart at cost price and even subsidize the whole thing to some extent. I haven't shipped a lot of PlusCarts to Brazil, I guess because of the high import taxes people are better off (and faster) with a local offer. Btw.: Brazil is the country with the most PlusCarts:

did the facility's WiFi had a html login screen after you connected your other devices (smartphone laptop) to it? The PlusCart's Wifi module can't handle these login pages.

👍 good idea The folders have already a different color than the files. The different is not much noticeable, and when using the NTSC setting on a PAL machine it might be worse.

Check your console switches. The background music in game can be muted by setting the left difficulty switch of the 2600 to "A". https://github.com/Al-Nafuur/1942-bB/wiki#special-features
