    When I get home tonight I will go through mine. I have almost all the Inc. and Corp versions and make a list. I need to update my CLZ anyway with the correct companies because there base database is very hit and miss.

     

    I might even own some of your old boxes. I bought a big chunk of my collection from Chris Leach and I know he told me a lot of his stuff he got from you.

    Just to note. The problem only exists in the Vox+. If someone owns just the plain old Atari Vox those units seem to work fine with WOWA from what I have read. It’s on the Vox+ that works with Atari 2600 and 7800 and Vextrex that has the problem.

     

    Patience. There are a lot of people in the same boat that don’t have one and those of us that have on that is not going to work properly with the next BIG Vox game.

    More will be released in the store closer to the release of Wizard of Wor Arcade.

     

    An issue was discovered with some of the early betas of WOWA that caused the Vox+ to lockup or not work properly. So they were all pulled from the store until the problem could be sorted out and fixed.

     

    I have a Vox+ that falls under this incompatibility with WOWA so I am interested in how existing units are gonna be fixed or replaced.

    Like sramirez2008 I own the Super Twin 78 & the Supreme 78: All-Play 4/8. Both are excellent. Great customer service. I had an issue with my Super Twin 78 when I got it. It was rapid firing on every game for some reason. We tried to troubleshoot and fix long distance but couldn't get it worked out. So I sent is back Ed replaced/repaired and sent it back.

    I bought one but was wondering do these fit in any 2600 cartridge shell?

     

    They are designed to fit in a standard "Atari branded" game shell. You will need to cut (dremmel) part of the end of the cart for the SD card slot and the USB port.

    I am gonna pirate the shit out of this, $15 each, just because you tools didn't agree with Bob, trying to protect his property. Happiest will have many copies for sale soon, none of the profit going to Bob. Be proud.

    Are you talking about the Mateos 7800 cart? I filled out their form this past weekend, should I not expect a response?

    Yes he is talking about the Mateos 16 in 1 7800 cart.

    No one else has got a response from Juan for over 6 months. So cross your fingers but don’t get your hopes up.

    I have an AA FB friend and "Happiest" seller has bought 2 - 3 items from him this year and turned around and listed them for crazy prices. It's pretty much par for the course for Happiest. My friend also stated that he/she/it whatever they are, they are more like a front man for multiple sellers. So prices are high because there is a middleman involved and this "selling customers" set their own prices.

     

    But like the original poster stated - Their reputation (poor as it is) is very well known in our circles.

    Are there that many more people on a FB Atari Group interested in this stuff than us here?

     

    Seems most FB people would be too busy arguing politics, posting pics of themselves, their kids, their pets, their surroundings and their food to worry about old video games. :lol:

     

    Probably not, but that is how Scott chooses to do it. And maybe that is why he does it on FB to keep the runs smaller and more limited. I don't know for sure, I just know that is how he has been doing for the past 3 years since I jumped into the scene with both feet.

     

    It is actually a 2600 Homebrew Specific FB group. So it is a very targeted audience. The Homebrew group is pretty calm compared to the AA Group at least it was when it was a closed group. It was made public recently so it could turn south quick. I

    We will return with a HUGE show on Wednesday April 3rd featuring the World Premiere of Dan Kitchen's first new Atari 2600 game since his days in Activision, GOLD RUSH!

     

    Check out the first post in this thread for the most up to date show schedule. :-)

     

    Hooray. I was worried I would miss the first live show after the break because I am in Hawaii for a wedding until Friday. The break has been nice but I am excited for the return and the debut of Gold Rush.

    Pretty fancy Jinks. Does anyone know why Schells stopped making the CC2? That seems to have been be a perfect solution. I saw all three Cuttle carts for sale on ebay together for a cool grand. Way outside my price range.

    I could be wrong but I seem to remember reading someplace that it was a combination of two things. One he was tired of making them and two there were some critical parts that were no long being produced that were critical to being able to build them. Someone else may have better and more info but when I started getting into the 7800 3 years ago I read a lot here and other places about the different 7800 Flash cart options.

     

    I got in early enough to grab a Mateo’s and have lucked into a Concerto that is fairly compatible with my daily driver modded 7800. I count myself very lucky to have both of these options to play things on real hardware.

    As a secondary owner, I am happy to finally have one in my collection, I did pay a nice chunk of change for mine so the original owner had some nice appreciation on his original purchase.

     

    I suppose I wouldn't have a problem with a stripped down general release, although like others have stated something a little bit more different would be fairer to the Limited Edition owners.

     

    Curious to see what happens with this possibility.

    The only retail 7800 flash cart that "WAS" available for immediate purchase was the Mateo's 16 in 1. But I have seen a few posts recently that Juan has been very silent and not responding to emails.

     

    If you click on the Mateos link in my signature it should direct you to a thread here on AA that has a link to his page but I am not sure what kind of results you will have at this point.

    Ok is it too late to get in on a pre order for this?

     

    thanks

    Yep. Get in line behind me.

     

    I wasn’t around for pre-orders either.

    I am very excited that the project is back on track and closer to reality.

    Yes it is still available. In the same 2 flavors. Harmony and Harmony Encore.

     

    The Encore will play pretty much everything you can throw at it.

     

    Be aware that it is now only sold as a barebones circuit board. If you want it in an Atari cartridge shell pic that option on checkout. The shell costs $10 more.
