AFAIK, if you missed out on the first run, these will never me made again.

 

Seems like some people don't care about the Choplifter issue and still want one. I may do a handful, if I can still make them. I tried making a #2 recently and couldn't get it to work at all. :lol: :dunce:

Ditch choplifter all together or put a different title in there on new ones?

I have all 4.

You do great original hardware, I can only make hardware if I am building someone's circuit. I can't design circuits for new hardware.

I have carts of the games that don't work, except Space Invaders.

 

Mind if I ask if you tracked down why some didn't work?

Errors in software or hardware? Or is each case something different?

*"flakey systems" My first 7800 I bought in 2012 looks brand new, then I find some of Bob's games don't work on it and it was the final run because the serial number starts with X. Made sure to get a different revision for my 2nd 7800.

 

Atari kept the 2600 mostly compatible from its quality and solid 1977 release, through each cost cutting revision, for 12 years, twelve! But the failed short run of 7800's have what seems like 8 different incompatible revisions.

 

The fact that I knew about flakey systems with only owning 2 of them is scary. 7800 revisions are quite a problem for those that own and/or create for them.
