Almost looks like they're using 7800 screenshots on the box, but in fact they did a reasonable reproduction of the 7800 graphics on the 2600 version. Obviously not quite as nice but that they attempted these visuals at all and kind of succeeded.

An old 3rd-party for 7800. Decent game. There is also a 2600/7800 variant (really just 2600). Comes in a glorified "Activision" cart. Was a pain to get it to load at all, even though it really wasn't dirty. But it does work on 2600+.

Technically Atari RealSports Tennis is "better" but this one is very pick up and play enjoyable.

Yeah, I'm kind of pivoting to 7800 at this point, but not in any kind of a hurry. And I already have Donkey Kong, DK Jr., Ms. Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Centipede, Joust, Galaga, Mario Bros, Pole Position II, Asteroids and Commando at least.

Yeah, please don't do that, at least not with my firmware. Probably cannot work. You should be able to use either firmware for what you are attempting. My firmware is meant to have the same runme.sh capability added by @fluxit , and anyway the start_local_sd.sh migrates to the SD with my firmware, so even if I somehow did it wrong/different (I didn't) you could still make it compatible. Issue is probably related to setting up RA 1.17 with all assets as @big_guitar suggests.

I said I wasn't going to try to buy this, but then I stumbled across a (relative) bargain for it. Starting to pad out my 7800 collection a little with this and the upcoming re-releases.

Custom firmware for Atari Gamestation Pro

I think I at least did an ltrim/rtrim, but worth testing it out. Unix newlines are basic expectation, and contemporary Windows notepad, notepad++ honor these AFAIK, but the carriage returns MIGHT be okay, you'd just have to test.- 142 replies

Real Atarians know that Atari is all about painful controllers and debilitating hand cramps. If it isn't painful you're just playing wimpy games

Although this label maybe seems a little worse for wear than usual, I actually like the "patina" on these and other cart labels. Guess I'm weird like that.

Limitation of the stock UI, as far as I can tell.- 142 replies

Custom firmware for Atari Gamestation Pro
Brad_from_the_80s replied to Brad_from_the_80s's topic in Dedicated Systems
I don't remember exactly, I think I stupidly forgot to explicitly add comment support in my ini parser. BUT, I think it should just ignore anything it doesn't recognize, so just choose a leading comment character (;, #) and try it out on an entire section. Or you could just make a backup copy and remove whatever isn't working. The few times I had issues it was with mistakes in paths/rom names/image names. The UI behaves strangely in such cases when selecting other images to display, and of course game launching may break.- 142 replies

This game is available digitally on the modern VCS if I'm not mistaken. Think I bought it.

Custom firmware for Atari Gamestation Pro
Brad_from_the_80s replied to Brad_from_the_80s's topic in Dedicated Systems
FWIW, if I'm not mistaken this is the device (and similar devices) where I heard you risk this brick situation using anything other than a USB 2.0 connection. Which I have plenty of but some laptops may not at this point. But it has nothing to do with my firmware, just a risk of flashing this device.- 142 replies
