Hyperkin Ranger is out.

[Hyperkin Ranger is out.]

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.

[Best game based on movie/TV show.]

Fantastic Voyage and Krull are my votes.

[New Power Supply for 800XL, Is this any good?]

How can I tell then what adapter will provide a constant voltage?

[New Power Supply for 800XL, Is this any good?]

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.

[New Power Supply for 800XL, Is this any good?]

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.

[New Power Supply for 800XL, Is this any good?]

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.

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

[Retron77 Compatibility List]

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.

[Retron77 Compatibility List]

Request sent, thanks.

[Retron77 Compatibility List]

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.

[2018 Homebrew Tournament - Draconian - Round 2]

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.

[Atari Flashback Switch with 150 games, arcade, 2600, and 5200 versions.]

I am very interested in this. So exciting!

[2018 Homebrew Tournament - Super Cobra Arcade - Round 1]

My first score, really enjoyed playing this for the first time.

[RetroN 77]

Can't we all just be excited to get a clone console that supports HDMI from a company that actually produces products and as such has cash flow? I know I am and will be an early adopter.

[Round 2 of the 2018 Harmony Games- Spies in the Night]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Seriously I thought I had it, great going edging me out.

[Round 2 of the 2018 Harmony Games- Spies in the Night]

Used my snow day today to try harder and get a better score:

 

 

[Round 2 of the 2018 Harmony Games- Spies in the Night]

Best I could do so far, been trying

 

 

[Favorite plug and plays]

I have a Namco Ms. Pac-Man plug and play that I particularly enjoy. Great joystick and construction, great game line up. Has my favorite version of Pole Position to play because of the twist top joystick that makes controlling it fantastic. Also a great unit to play the underappreciated Mappy on.

 

There are two versions of this plug and play, one has game key compatibility the other (which I have) does not.

[Round 1 of the 2017 Harmony Games:Donkey Kong VCS]

The best score I could accomplish tonight. Played in Stella

 

 

Also this is a freaking amazing version of Donkey Kong. Need to get a harmony cart to play it on original hardware.

 

[RetroN 77]

Say what you will about the potential quality and possible pitfalls (ha!) but that box looks reaaaaaalllllll nice.

 

 

[WTB: Cartridge modded Flashback 2]

Title says it all, want a nice cartridge modded Flashback 2. Doesnt need to include controllers but do need power supply.

 

Thanks

[The obscure Tiger Tabletop 'Arcade Games']

I want these now.

[Flashback 8 gold help]

Sounds like a bad controller. My Flashback 8 controller only shows the blue light when I am either pushing a button or moving the joystick. Check all of your buttons and make sure one is not jammed down in some way to see if this resolves the issue.
