Andromeda Stardust Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well, it's pretty much a lock to have save state support for next year, but I'm not necessarily sure if that would apply to cartridges or SD card ROMs at this point. So the AtGames Genesis will be a stripped down Retron5 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 So the AtGames Genesis will be a stripped down Retron5 then? Not exactly. There'd be no dumping involved as far as I know, plus they'd be using their own emulator. It's more like a NES Mini with either cartridge or SD card support and legacy controller ports in addition to proper wireless. And again, I'm just saying don't assume that they'd necessarily be able to support adding features to external ROMs or cartridges. Obviously, I'll try to push for that to happen. Seems like a no-brainer if it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Don't know if its been posted, but Gamestop's website says Nov. 8th as the release date for the portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrBlackCat Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Not sure how long it has been up, but Toys R Us has pre-orders up for the Atari Flashback Portable... I just pre-ordered it here for 39.99+tax (free shipping) http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=96047666 I had previously pre-ordered it from GameStop for 49.99 +tax + 4.99 shipping... I cancelled that one. Anyway, less than two weeks to ship date! MrBlackCat Edited October 27, 2016 by MrBlackCat 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I want to get onebut I'm still concerned that 70-80% of the stuff I try to load on it won't run properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 No sign of any AtGames product in the 2016 Dollar General Black Friday ad. That's usually where I get buy each year's model at, so I wonder what changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use a homebrew 2600 emu, both of them run too slow. https://www.amazon.com/Ataris-Greatest-Hits-1-Nintendo-DS/dp/B003V63V2O/ https://www.amazon.com/Ataris-Greatest-Hits-2-Nintendo-DS/dp/B003VJJJNG/ These are from Code Mystics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I ordered one from Toys R Us. If it doesn't run the "fixed" E.T. from the memory card, it's going back, I tell ya! I wonder who will start the thread: "Hacked games to work on unmodified AtGames Atari Flashback® Portable" ?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifthPlayer Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Once units start arriving in people's hands, it would make sense to put together a crowdsource list of which games do and do not work via the SD card slot. I am curious about "fixed" E.T. And 2600 Space Invaders better work! Edited October 31, 2016 by FifthPlayer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kokovec69 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Ordered one with expedited shipping so that I can play it before Thanksgiving. I wonder if I'll end up liking this more than my modded FB2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 GameStop is still showing today as the day. I was going to walk to the one in my neighborhood and get one today -- and that's really saying something, I hardly ever go in there. I suppose I'll check their website, once business hours begin, to see if it's delayed everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
