Just to circle back, that interview with Wade Rosen is indeed very refreshing, he seems focused on the art, and also seems to be a straightforward, smart guy. Thank you for the recommendation.
Don't show old Johnny Phelan that video ..... you'll set his head on fire whilst having simultaneous bowl evacuation!

Next you'll probably tell me the score and bullet counters are in different spots or something...
Is that sarcasm I here beloved Goldy?

Can’t play graphics. Gameplay all the way. But it’s nice when good graphics come along too.
As has been reiterated here ... Atari 2600 is the true example of bad graphics (compared to now, including other 80's consoles which had far better gfx) but gr8 gameplay (shovelware aside). "Easy to learn, hard to master".

Gr8 game on the ole 2600. In case your bloody interested, the PAL version of DC was released by Telegames in Europe and Oz under the name 'Night Stalker' in '89.

Thanks for showing me that I needed to be more detailed from my original post Atariboy!
Before critiquing my post, you didn't bother reading the rest.
You don't understand because you haven't used one yet.
I guess your Costco doesn't have them.
So the system understands the following extentions: .N64,.PCE,.SNES,.NDS,.ISO (I have no idea what system is ISO- I've tested several.),.bin.
In my opinion, this shows possible future updates or maybe it already exists and we don't know about it. BIN acts a little different.The system will try to load a *.bin file. I've tried all the *.bin files I can think of. I will continue to test and keep you guys up to date.
Hey, I just want to have fun and share with others. If I need to take crap, I'll hang out with my Mother-In-Law!- ThirdGenGamer
Not a good way to start posting in the AA community after 6 posts! (even though signed up in 2013) Lighten up.

Just ran across this online, and thought it would be nice to see in the realm of Intellivision Amico and some of its enablers.
1. An expression of regret — this, usually, is the actual "I'm sorry."
2. An explanation (but, importantly, not a justification).
3. An acknowledgment of responsibility.
4. A declaration of repentance.
5. An offer of repair.
6. A request for forgiveness.I'd really like to see @Tommy Tallarico and maybe @jaybird3rd take a shot at this. No excuses or deflection, but a real, honest apology. I doubt it's coming, because it would mean they would have to acknowledge doing some not-so-nice things, but if they tried, lots of people would listen.
7. Free Tacos.
(You knew it was coming.

Hello Guys!
The new Atari 2600+ has an all-in-one processor in it: Rockchip 3128It is a quite powerful chip with 4 ARM7MP cores and an ARM Mail400 MP2 graphic core inside.
Memory for these kind of "raspberry pi" is a bit low but enough for retro applications.For the software there is an eMMC memory on the board. i guess the eMMC is some kinde of embedded memory card compatible to other MMC memory cards but suitable to solder it on the board and saving money instead of adding a card slot and a card.
My question:
* Is someone already trying to hack that system?- trying to make a copy to check if this is an encrypted memory card
- trying to replace it with a normal MMC card holder and card- trying to find out what kind of file system is on the card
- mount the system on linux
- reverseengineer the files on the card.
- adding bigger cards
- modify the stuff with a homebrew version
After that:
- making a retro c/c++ library that contains graphic and audio functions for lower "restro" screen resolutions, sprites and other useful functions, classic audio chip emulation or software implementation of a "retro" audio chip
- making new games
Anyone already working on that???
Maybe some ideas?

Rewind this thread back to when I posted my first comment, I tried having a normal conversation even if this thread wasn't the most indicated for it ( I didn't know that at the time, plus there was no 2600+ dedicated thread for people to post so I didn't know where it would be appropriate to post my opinions), what happened, I got bombarded with an endless amount of sarcastic and trollish responses, every time I tried to clarify something I was met with even more ridicule, at some point you might as well join in on the fun since no attempt at honest dialog is gonna change the dog pilling, like a losing hand at poker sometimes it's better to just fold than to continue a bad round.

A bit of a necropost ... but does anyone have a photo of the underside of the 'Stick Station'. Thinking of making a replica. Over all dimensions would help as well, including the height and overall width of the text elements.

HardWork promised an impossible feat based on his lack of knowledge of the 2600 & his non existent programming abilities. IF I end up doing this, I won't promise everything that the nutcase exclaimed he'd put into the "game".

It has no cartridge-slots, nor do I think it backwards compatible with any old joysticks, joypads, pads etc. Only modern plugs allover the place. And the SD card-reader.
I was surprised to see GenXGrownUps' controller test vid showing the Xbox-One controller working completely fine wired. And more so, the d-pad AND the Left Analog stick also worked. Although as I have aforementioned I just use original modded hardware, still interesting to see other options out there. Good or bad. Still weird that it appears Atari seems to be battling against themselves with different hardware releases that cover the the same general systems. eg 2600+ vs Gamestation Pro vs atari flashback gold 50th anniversary edition etc. Why not just combine the best of both and sell the ultimate system (ie DB9 ports, SD slot, Cart slot, USB & USB-C ports, HDMI, Bluetooth, Firmware update-able .. and so forth). The money obviously!

The my arcade gamestation pro looked like it was gonna be a great little machine to play your favorite Atari games on but it has one big problem, they lied about the amount of Atari games the system would have, it's actually around 130 Atari games and about 100 or so of those free games you'll find in any Chinese bootleg console, the 200 + Atari games they have plastered all over the box is sadly fake news , very sad because otherwise this could have been a great product.
You're forgetting a draw card that it has an SD card slot you can throw roms at to your hearts content.

I'm now going to order a Raspberry pi kit, install Stella and make a donation to the Stella team. I've never done anything with a Pi but I don't think it will be worse than the Atari +.
Raspberry pi + Retropie = fantastic little retro gaming option.
Sorry for the hijack.

Is there an option to play games aside from the included wireless controllers? That is the only real downer I see of this product.
1 hour ago, donjn said:There are two usb-c slots so I really hope so. I am very sensitive to input lag so I prefer wired controllers with this.
You can definitely plug the Joysticks into the x2 usb-c ports to power them up ... but does that make them wired or just powered by the ports and still be blue tooth only? If it makes them wired, then definitely better than the 2600+ option imo. Plus sd card slot which is verified to accept your own roms. And it's only $100usd.

@TrogdarRobusto
I thought of another question for you. Now that Atari is making hardware again, is there any chance we'll see some kind of official Paddle Controller Adapter for consoles? I'd totally be cool with some kind of DB9-to-USB solution too since you're already making paddles for the 2600+.-

Nah it's people who just don't get it. Or have zero sense of humor. Heck someone was pissy in the Atari AA Q&A because I asked the Atari guy the type of tacos they liked.
It was a light hearted joke that the person handled well showing they either have a sense of humor or level head on their shoulders.
Even our own little mrme got pissy at me "making arbitrary goalposts" for IE and making fun of their inability to maintain their trademark. Some people are not made for the internet and take things way to seriously. If you can't make fun of yourself or a stupid situation you either are as interesting as a 2x4, an idiot, or some version of an asshole (all Amico hardcore fans).
If people want to be serious all the time they should get off the internet and become a social worker. Work with some poor struggling families, kids, or something amd realize their stupid fetishes with old games, consoles, or other dumb hobby is just that, dumb in the grand scheme of things.
But NOOO, they have to go. DON'T MAKE FUN OF AMICO ITS MY FRIEND! WAHHH. 😂

I was never more proud to be a member of this community than when we collectively destroyed Mike Kennedy's Chameleon nonsense.
Conversely, I was never more ashamed to be a member than when everyone drank Tommy's Kool-Aid.
I still think the community deserves a full explanation, a full apology, and a return of every Amico-related thread to public viewability.
I'd just love Al to have that 'Footbath shitshow' thread revived as read only, just for the "Family Gaming" game memes. Funny as f%&k!

On 9/15/2023 at 2:02 AM, mr_me said:I basically said the same thing you said, that they could refer to an agreement with retailers.
In manufacturing, production and pre-production does have meaning and they did use the terms incorrectly; and I've said so in these forums. If all exclusive was a policy at one time then they certainly have the right to change their policy, especially when the thing is in development. If they didn't have an agreement with retailers then saying that would be problematic. If they did have an agreement and the audience knowing it wasn't released, then maybe it's just nitpicking.
That's not what I'm doing.
On 9/15/2023 at 2:23 AM, rayik said:Amico Home was demonstrated.
From what I remember TT saying:
- Couch coop play cannot be done with mobile gaming on cell phones
- Amico controller is necessary to get the full Amico game experience
- Amico console is simple to use - grandparents can set up
- Amico console is not an Android box
I first read that as " Couch poop play". Very fitting!

Hey mate. Been busy in a new job (shift work). Good to see your skinny ass again. (That didn't sound right!)
