[Atari Flashback X Custom Firmware for USB roms and boxart]

To flash update with OTG cable and Pendrive I have to name image atari_update.img right ? And place it on root of pendrive. But CFW don't found updates :(. Hmm maybe is something with my OTG. But I played homebrews from it hmmm ....

Thanks I'm trying to flash that OC and I got this

 

 

And now whenever I turn off and turn on my FBX it says it Found One LOADER Device like I was pressing that button but I don't. Flashing again first two images brings it back to work. Only that overclock is causing problems.

Hmmm when I try to flash 3rd image (overclock) it makes my console to not startup (black screen).

Thanks for reply @Draxxon

 

What CFW You are using currently ?

[Atari Flashback X Custom Firmware for USB roms and boxart]

@Draxxon

 

Okay, but games that I want to play still have to be in "Game" folder ?

 

@EDIT

 

I put all content of Your archive to pendrive and I just have standard menu - without Ext. Drive to select files from. What I'm doing wrong ? I have CFW 1.2 GHz OC.

So, what's firmware is best to flash AFX ? I tried to fix that flickering but I don't have folder like emulate or files like retroplayer.afb9 etc. 

 

I guess I didn't flash it with @Draxxon firmware.

[Best games which need more than 64K....]

Any new games since last post here that requires more than 64 KB RAM ? Except "Albert" that I'm aware of

Do You know maybe why flickering is not working properly on my videos (on earlier page) ? It makes some games unplayable cause objects disappear sometimes even for 2-3 seconds instead of flicker. Another game for example is Moonsweeper - You crash into invisible objects cause flicker is bugging.

Hello,

 

Could You post games that are hidden gems ? Games that are not so popular but are really good mainly gameplay wise.

colors seem different too? Is it NTSC vs PAL versions?

It's same ROM running on Flashback and Stella on PC. Or at least it was in NTSC folder of ROM pack I downloaded :). Maybe I'll try other ROM 

[Atari Flashback X Custom Firmware for USB roms and boxart]

I see that often flicker objects are flickering not right. They disappear for second two, three seconds then they show up for like half second then again disappear for 2-3 seconds etc. etc. Is there a way to fix it ?

 

Here's video of what I mean.

[Frame drops after updating Atari Flashback X]

Okay I figured out that there is no way for sub-folder. Another question - I see that often flicker objects are flickering not right. They disappear for second two, three seconds then they show up for like half second then again disappear for 2-3 seconds etc. etc. Is there a way to fix it ?

[Good Atari 2600 games hacks]

Good hack is Amidar DS - making Your character move 2x faster than original making this game much more playable. I'm wondering if there are more hacks like this that makes games more playable by fixing some issues.

[Frame drops after updating Atari Flashback X]

Can there be subfolders? Or everything have to be in "Game" folder together ?

[Frame drops after updating Atari Flashback X]

Thank You @Draxxon!!

[Frame drops after updating Atari Flashback X]

Okay I updated firmware it works great now - thank you :).  I have problem with ROM loading - I loaded my pendrive with games in .bin format and most of them don't work. When I try to run them I got black screen for a while and then it goes back to menu screen with ROM selection. What's the reason for this?

 

EDIT

 

Ah I probably found a reason - its spaces in names of games ;).
