  1. I dunno. I think it's too much even for 2023 standards. Things on average are around 16% more expensive than they were 4 years ago. In 2019 money, the 2600+ would cost around $109. The Genesis Mini launched that very year only for around $80. I do think the new console Atari's making with Myarcade might cause some confusion with consumers. Doesn't help much that it's listed online for $30 less than the 2600+.
  2. I just found out about this thing thanks to YouTube. I like how it's compatible with both the original controllers and cartridges, and I was pleasantly surprised by the 7800 compatibility. However, I'm put off by its 129.99 price tag. And only 10 games packed in? I got my Genesis Mini from Target for way-y-y-y cheaper and it came with over 4 times as many games packed in. Hell, those old AtGames consoles had more games packed in. Honestly, I think a used 7800 from Ebay is a better deal than this.
  3. Has anyone here ever reverse engineered an old console like the NES or Genesis without the use of pre-existing documentation like Rare and all those other third party devs back then? I've been studying hardware engineering as of recently and I want to learn more. What do I need?
  4. Hello. I want to do something with all that 7800 source code and dev software that surfaced a long time ago. How do I make use of it? Do I need an Atari ST emulator? Is there a special 7800 compiler out there? What do I need?
  5. Oh. Just noticed your dvd drive doesn't work. Maybe you could get yourself one of those external disc drives.
  6. Do you have a computer with a disc drive? Just pop the disc in, take the files, and upload them here.
  7. The Ebay listing says that this ad was from the year 1997. So, I looked at a scan for the April 1997 issue of Gamepro, and... there it was. Mystery solved.
  8. Yesterday, I was just looking around on Google for print ads for the Atari jaguar. All of a sudden, I found this listed on ebay. This seems to be an unauthorized parody, looking at the font for the JaguarO logo and the text below it saying "Not associated with the Jaguar from Atari". The question is, where did it come from? Have any of you guys here seen this before?
  9. I respect your opinion but see, the leapster is pretty fascinating to me.
  10. This is an image of the original model of the Leapster (no, this isn't the model I own at the time this was written, I currently have a 2 Leapster 2s for now). An edutainment console that debuted in 2003. You can get this thing for dirt cheap on ebay. It's well known for its game Sonic X. You might be asking something like; "What's to talk about a edutainment console from the early 2000's?" Well, firstly, for an edutainment console with a library of only about 40 games, it was way ahead of it's time. Some could say "A LEAP ahead of it's time". Being more capable than the leading non-edutainment handheld in 2003, the Game Boy Advance. Such as having a touch screen, running adobe flash, and other stuff. Secondly, I see a lot of potential in this when it comes to homebrew development. like how I said earlier, this thing is able to run Flash. Well all the titles were based on Adobe Flash. Well mostly, some games used 4bpp format bitmap graphics but still used flash, but let's go back to homebrewing. You see, I think homebrewing would be great for the Leapster because like I said before, the games are based on Adobe Flash. Flash is an familiar platform that you can easily make games for and can easily find on he magical thing that is the internet. All we need to do is find out how Leapster games are programmed (maybe contact team europe to make new rom download links because some of the Leapster roms on other sites are corrupt or just find a rom that's not corrupt), have someone invent a Leapster flash cart, and then the homebrewing will commence! And hey, (say it with me) CAN IT RUN DOOM?
