I already have a compact 5200.  It's called the 600XL! 😁

Agreed.  Anyway to use the 5200 controllers on a 600XL or 800XL?

Will this device need to be connected to a computer to function or do you just connect it once to load the games and then you can disconnected it?

Hi Pepe.  Has there been any further development with this hack?

[Strange hue in Lode Runner.]

Can we see a pic?  Also, what version is it?

[Altirra 3.90 released]

No problem, thanks.  I think he must be using a shader also.  I don't think Altirra has that effect.

Under View, Adjust Screen Effects...First two options..If you don't have that menu then update asap.....

Those are for Horizontal and Vertical distortion, not Round Corner.

BTW, thanks a ton for helping me to get my personal "crt" pixel shader working in Altirra. 

 

It might not be to anyone's taste but mine, but I've been having a blast.

How are you getting that round corner effect?

[Evolution Dino dudes]

I enjoyed it way back in the day.

[Alien vs Predator God mode]

If I remember correctly, I had to make sure any doors on your path out are already open.

[Microvision replacement screen project - pre-order & purchase here]

Thank you for the update.

[Classic Doom]

Cool.  Thanks for the info.

Double Impact is also part of the recent patch.  I'm reading that this was originally a replacement for episodes 1-9.  Does this mean that if I activate it in the patch, it's going to replace the original levels?

How are these two different than the ones you already posted?

Very nice Cafeman.  I'm really looking forward to this!

The new patch allows this now, and some other of the more famous WAD packs, as well as fixing a lot of the issues the games were plagued with on release. 

Thanks for the info.  The patch (1.4) didn't auto download when I started the PS4.  I had to launch each game to start each download.

Will this overwrite what the Flashback 9 comes with originally or will it load the ROMs separately? Thank you for guiding us through this, it is a great resource!

The original ROMs will still be available.

[Atari Flashback 9 FIRMWARE for adding games to SD card]

Is it possible the card is in incorrectly?  I seem to recall it needed to be upside down (contacts facing upwards) when inserted.

[Blast Paddles on Flashback 9 Gold?]

They don't work on the FB9.

[Leave plugged in?]

I like to unplug devices also.  Keep the adaptor plugged in the 5200 but unplug the side in the AC outlet.  Or, you can get a switch on the AC outlet side and just turn on/off as needed.

Network... meaning for multiple players only?

Don't need Galaga.  Galaxian has always been the better game anyway.

 

Yes, I just went there.

Agreed.

[RetroNet 1.1 Released!]

The site doesn't have any information.  What does it do?

[Classic Doom]

Yea, it would have been nice if they included those and Sigil.

[5200 Star Raiders ever ported?]

I seem to remember one of the AtariAge members converted all of the 5200 games?  He had them on ebay until someone questioned his legitamacy.  I was hoping to hear about these again because supposedly they were more accurate than the Glenn conversions.

[Classic Doom]

Thanks...and wouldn't you know it, I recently purchased Doom Classic Complete for the PS3.
