BTW, I purchased a second one (NIB) from Best Electronics a while back, but they have since sold out.

scotty Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I love my Atarimax, but there's just something about dip switches... 5200 Dip Switch Multi-cart.jpg I got the newer one that uses the SD card. LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!! I have the Ulti-Multi for the BAlly Astrocade and the Odyssey 2 multicart, that both use dip switches, so I feel your pain. I would sell the one you got, and get the newer SD version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamchevy Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) I recently finished Episode 3 of the podcast, and I am really impressed. It looks like both 5200 podcasts took a bit of a break at the beginning of the year. I’m not sure how this coincidence happened? Anyway, I have enjoyed the content of both podcasts. You have successfully talked me into hunting down a 5200. If only for Space Dungeon and the awesome Trak Ball Games . I’m really curious about using the controller that has so much hate in the world of gaming. I look forward to future episodes and the future of this great system. I didn’t realize how much of a 5200 fan the owner of Edladdin controllers is. I’m looking forward to his upcoming 5200 Controller. I never thought about using a Super 78 with the Masterplay clones. That’s something I need to try. Edited August 14, 2018 by adamchevy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an awesome system with excellent arcade ports, hardware support, homebrew support, 8-bit conversions, active podcasts..I could go on and on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Willie is still making video's on his ArcadeUSA Youtube channel with his crew casually talking about games. Recently Willie posted asking what new episode listeners want a 5200 or Coleco episode so the 5200 Super Community Podcast might be back. We on the other hand at the Atari 5200 Podcast have had a very busy year with a lot of changes in our lives, work and home. We plan to record our next episode mid September. Please listen to all our episodes as our podcast is focused on getting the most out of your 5200 not just game reviews. Also check out the Youtube channels Glen Planamento and especially for 5200 alternative controllers Steve Averitts Wired Up Retro Channel. I hope you pick up a system and keep listening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s usually only visible during the convergence, and only when your thinking about them at the same time. You’d be surprised what you can do when you master the Mystic Arts.

I hope you pick up a system and keep listening Yep, David and the crew are the main "podcast" for the 5200. The Atari 5200 Super Community Podcast is kind of a "sittin' around the living room chat" style about the game being discussed. Its arcade version and the port to the 5200. Besides video, it is on the Atari 5200 Super Community Podcast feed on Itunes as well. The last few AtariCade 5200 episodes I have posted to Itunes have gotten around 750 downloads each on release, so there is a healthy fan base out there for the ole 5200 . The Atari 5200 Super Community podcast is not trying to compete with The 5200 Podcast but rather hopefully we compliment each other on spreading information on the 5200. The more attention the 5200 can get, the better it will be is our thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
