The best part here is that ya got Fritos for free with 'em...haha....OK I just thought that was cool, which is especially weird since I don't think I like Fritos... I guess It would have been just as neat if they threw in a Pepsi or something...Either way sounds like a good deal!

The game Defend Your Castle, released on Christmas Eve by mr-atari works! It is a 2 player game but you can still have fun and try it out with one player.... IIRC I opened the zip used the NTSC version and changed ROM to BIN... It's here. http://www.mr-atari.com/defyocas/

Maybe it matters which Windows you're running? I have Windows 7 and mine worked fine the first time! I'm quite amazed because I'm usually the guy having all kinds of problems, and here it worked for me and everyone else has issues...What next cats living with dogs?

Thanks so much! I changed the ROM to BIN and it played fine on the ol' Flashback Portable! And it's quite fun!~ YAY!!

My owner's manual says the max card supported is 8GB... Maybe I lucked out because the first card I tried worked like a champ...I used a SanDisk 4GB Micro (in the adaptor).

That article, while interesting, is to me, an almost textbook example of internet journalism... There's way too many unanswered questions for it to be taken at face value... For example: The comments suggest that the band's fans already knew all about the Patreon connection and that the artist as a CEO was taking no money from that position...I have no idea if that is true or not. It simply raises more questions. And there's even a comment suggesting all this fuss is over a cover band...No idea of it's true because I'm not familiar with the band, and maybe it's only a side note, but one worth mentioning...And if he is a CEO, why would he not be getting a salary from it? I'm not forming an opinion here because I definitely don't have all the facts...

I hope I'm the first comment... WoooooHoooo! OK... Ummm... Good luck to you! and Word to your mother.

I hate to see anyone have problems with something like this...But I do remember AtGames track record. Until the Flashbacks, I had only bought a GENMobile from them. It was sort of a portable Genesis with a cartridge slot (no SD slot). And the cartridge slot wore out almost instantly which really sucked and I haven't bought the version with the SD slot because (among other things) The ROM of my favorite Genesis game (Ultimate Qix) plays much faster than the cartridge version... My advice is if anything goes wrong, return it to the seller immediately...I hope AtGames gets the message that they need good Quality Control! So far, other than that GenMobile, I've had no issues with other products from AtGames...

BTW I still think of this thread as the gift that keeps on giving... Merry Christmas!!

Myself I've only ever supported 2 things via crowdfunding (KS and Indiegogo)... And they were: An Edladdin ColecoVision Joystick, and a LTD Edition Blue cart of (a new game) Justice Beaver for SNES... Still glad I supported both and no worries! I will admit though, it is like a spin on the roulette wheel...You put your money on and kiss it goodbye, but then there's the chance you'll win...

Awesome! Gonna throw this on the Portable soon!

I'm no expert either, But it seems to me that if it did work, even for a while, then you haven't done anything wrong. That leaves either the card or the Flashback. I hope it's not the latter. I'd start by replacing the card and see if that fixes it.

I've played Sinistar with no problems, so my guess there is that it's coincidence...I'd try reformatting the card entirely (If you haven't already) and if that doesn't do it, I'd try a different card...Do the built-in games still work?

The problem IMHO with reporting such things to ebay is that they might just get confused and decide to ban the sale of any Atari FB Portable...Or any handheld that takes ROMs....OK that one is a stretch, but sometimes the subtleties are lost on them...I don't like risking it.

I dunno there Princess Rescuer... You know how sometimes ya call people Buddy, or Sport, or Chief, or Pal... Or even Tiger, or Hero, or Sunshine? Sometimes I can't help myself...I go up to someone and say "Hey there Quadrunner...What's crackin'?"

Cool! Looks fun!

Wow! I just read that article and raced back over here to post it...You beat me to it IG-88! That might change things a bit...

OK, when I read that I laughed so hard I hurt my voice!

I think your last couple of sentences seem to be dead on. I could be wrong, but didn't the idea for Retro spring from what started as game reviews on Gamegavel?...I doubt there was any money changing hands for those... And from there the idea to have a glossy, full-color magazine, like in the old days sprang to life. Myself, I like the idea...I've liked video game magazines with a retro flair in the past (For example Video Game Collector), but then MK started seeing dollar signs and what was once a few people reviewing games online became this big venture he thought he had to monetize... You all know what happened next...

Thanks Arenafoot! You're a gentleman and a scholar...(Well maybe one out of two ain't bad) ...
