That is fine and a 7800 and Harmony / homebrews are going to be part of the picture(later). I personally like having the carts with a history and having a setup that is historical (CRT) for playing. I could just be fine and good with RetroPie, ROMs and a nice controller but for me there is more to the whole experience playing games that have been played and playing them much like they would be played. I would like to try to introduce others and give them the opportunity to play on the hardware as well that being said Harmony does have it's place and it makes playing beta and pre release homebrews possible as well as being a great developer tool along side Sella to test the games. New homebrews are more pricey so collecting them is a bit more money but it is something I am interested in. I have been playing some of the betas to the release ROMs of Panky the Panda on stella so that is one of the first homebrews I am currently eying.

Thank you, I didn't mention it but I do play every game I get so playing the games are a priority.

Hello, I am a new collector for Atari 2600 I love the history and innovation that occurred during the run of the console. I also love that there is a vibrant community and homebrew scene that is still contributing to the platform. I have not been collecting as long as most collectors so there are many things that you might know or tips that may come in handy to new collectors. What tips would you have liked to have had and what tips would you give to new collectors. What practices or items helped you what do you think would help others? Thank you. EDIT: I play every game I collect, playing the games is an important part of my collection.
