Zonie Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Will that be available in the AtariAge store? No, too expensive!!! I can put PIA chips in the store if you need 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 No, too expensive!!! I can put PIA chips in the store if you need 'em! WDC still makes PIA chips. Although they might not be compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Usotsuki Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If it's a 65xx type PIA, the 65Cxx you'd get from WDC *ought* to work if the C's the only difference in the part name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Just like the Hokey won't work as a drop in replacement in a 5200, right? The HOKEY only emulates POKEY audio accurately. It's meant to be used in 7800 cartridges so people stop cannibalizing the last remaining POKEYs which can be used for A8s and 5200s for spare parts. It doesn't do the other POKEY tasks.

I know that already. Somebody asked if the PIA chips would work; I used Hokey as a counterexample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrok7 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I wish I could see the units on display at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. The post on www.atarimuseum.com showed some units in the hands of developers. How long do you see the units being evaluated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 From the "Atari 7800 eXpansion Module" Facebook group by Curt Vendel:"Two XM modules have arrived at Albert of Atariage's home for the upcoming show. I'd also like to welcome Perry Thuente to the XM Team, he will be assisting with the completion of the XM BIOS. I am extremely happy to have such an amazingly talented coder such as him join the team and volunteer his skills in making the XM the best product possible." 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIO2 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I think instead of mini it should be called fun size. The smaller one is probably for flashback. Edited October 5, 2015 by SIO2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Thats the new XM mini. Only does high score saving. If there was an XM Mini Plus (HSC & Pokey) available right now, I'd be satisfied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
