[Atari Flashback 9 FIRMWARE for adding games to SD card]

The game pack in the Atari Flashback Portable thread worked perfectly. I think the reason I couldn't get my ROM to work before is because it was A26 instead of .bin. Thanks for the help!

 

Ice hockey is great

Just what did you insert the SD card into

There's a slot on the chassis of the machine but I believe it is not actually connected to the motherboard, or so I'm told. I think I'm going to take the machine apart and see for myself for curiosity's sake. Apparently there's a bunch of very similar models so I honestly would not be surprised if tech support is just incorrect.

Just use the rom pack originally created for the portable. It has Ice Hockey (Or at least the December 2016 release did).

There's no SD Card slot.

No. The composite model does not run Stella. It uses the same internal in-house AtGames Atari 2600 emulator as the portable (you can use the same fixed ROM pack for the Portable found elsewhere on this site) and is considered complete as-is.

 

It's a shame the main game I wanted to play was Ice Hockey which doesn't come with it. Tech support said it's just an a/v model and doesn't even have an actual SD card slot.

Is it possible to run firmware updates on the composite model? I put the .img file on the root of two of my SD cards, launch the console, nothing shows up on the screen its just normal, trying to load the sd card menu causes "loading..." to flash a couple times then go back to the menu. I hear that this model is different fundamentally from the other ones, is it possible?
