Tested with Kaboom, Food Fight and Super Breakout on an Atari 800 XL. Gamepad works great, paddle does not work in any of the paddle games I tried.

New Power Supply for 800XL, Is this any good?
reallybrett replied to reallybrett's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
How can I tell then what adapter will provide a constant voltage? -

I ended up buying one of the USB to Din cables off of eBay. Seemed to be the most economical way to go about it. I have a 2.1 amp wall wart from an old iPhone that can be used with it so I should be good to go. Thanks for all the input. -

Thanks for all the quick replies, I really appreciate it. I have been collecting for the 2600 for a while now but just dove in to the world of Atari computers. I am going to go with one of the USB to DIN cables and find an adapter that delivers the 1.5 amps. Again thanks for all the help. -
Just got my first Atari computer and could not be more excited. I want to get a new power supply as I have one of the ignot style ones that seem to be frowned upon. I found the below auction on eBay and wanted to see if anyone had any input or experience with this type of replacement power supply. https://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-Adapter-for-9VAC-AC-Atari-CO17945-400-800-810-850-1010-1050-1200XL/352198322911?hash=item5200a7eadf:g:XcIAAOSwcgNZCn3c:sc:USPSFirstClass!18103!US!-1:rk:23:pf:0 Thanks!

On July 18th they tweeted that they sold out of the 77, link below it is the first pinned tweet: https://twitter.com/hyperkin?lang=en

It should work with any cable. I am using just a random one I had laying around that was longer and it is fine.

Thanks for the add. I added 20 entries to the list and will add more that I come across. Has there been given any thought to making a home brew list? I know compatibility is not great but I did have two games that worked in my testing.

Request sent, thanks.

I have a number of entries I would like to add to the list, if you can grant me access great if not I will list them here. Thanks

Was super excited that my Retron 77 arrived in the mail today. Was a good boy and did all my chores first so I could tear in to that sweat nostalgic package and play some Atari games. Hooked it up and things were going great, even one of my homebrew games worked (Pac Man 4k). Turned the system off, got a drink, used the bathroom, came back and was ready for round two. Tried out the home brew Caverns of Mars, started up good, got in to the game, could not fire a shot. Reset same issue. New controller same deal. Now I am downloading the SD image to reflash my card as it is likely a file is corrupt. Hyperkin -- I want to LOVE this thing. I want to show it off to friends and replace my Atari 2600 Jr BUT I didn't even get more than an hour of gameplay before this issue arose.

Best I have been able to do so far. I am REALLY impressed with this homebrew, I was aware of its existence but had not played it up until now. -
