It's not like I have months spare to work on it, and i do know VHDL.

Greetings, i have come to announce an project that could solve the overall lack and difficulty of finding replacement parts problem. Possible uses would be: New replacement motherboards, improved compatibility with games as cartridges would be used (A0-11&D0-D7 pins) and more uses that i couldn't think of right now. We are interested in possible contributors. Now's time for Q/A! Q: What will it be implemented on? A: On a FPGA first, and at the end possibly an ASIC. Q: Even though you listed your use cases, i do not understand the reasoning behind it. Could you explain why? A: As time progresses we lose the console units and replacement parts, in which case we are forced to stick with the emulators that aren't very compatible with specific programs and demos. Q: How much progress has been made? A: For now the project is at the overall idea and design stage. Q: How can I help? A: We mostly seek VHDL developers, that would be capable of writing the core or even porting it from other projects. Q: What convinced you to start this project? A: The amount of 6-4 switch Atari 2600's in Poland is very low, therefore I cannot design any hardware for it unless I risk using the 2600 JR.

I think it is possible but you would have to replace the core (duh) But keep it's original name so the console thinks it is the same as before but it's actually a new one.

Yeah just noticed. I should leave it overnight than half an hour i guess.

My built in roms disappeared from the list. i only get invisible boxes no outline or anything and entering them causes the console to return to menu. Is a bug or is it my fault?

Is it possible to replace it back to the brand firmware? I really don't want to take big risks.

I just tried replicating this glitch a few times and it didn't happen to me.

I upgraded my Atari flashback X to latest brand firmware that adds external roms support. But unfortunately my AFX seems to reboot every few pages if i have a big amount of roms. Is it faulty or anything?
