killersquirel Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I have all the original ColecoVision, the flashback, and the Phoenix. I would keep the Phoenix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about ordering a second one and standard black edition instead of ADAM style. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertclevernamehere Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The order receipt for my Phoenix is dated Nov 8, 2018 so it'll be about a year from ordering to receiving. That kind of wait would've been unbearable as a kid. Luckily I'm a little more patient now. I just have one question. I know the possibility of an Atari2600 cartridge adapter is dependent on demand but how and when might that demand be gauged and how long a wait might there be from now to when we might get the cartridge adapter? Ok, that's 2 questions and maybe I'm jumping ahead too soon here but it's definitely something I would love for my Phoenix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the answer is the latter, how is the decision going with regard to the cart adapter coming to fruition? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the answer is the latter, how is the decision going with regard to the cart adapter coming to fruition? Stella is software based while FPGA is firmware on specially designed microchips which can be theoretically 100% accurate and 100% compatible with the original console. So, in theory, you can make sd card roms 100% compatible, but you have to get the firmware to interact with the rom on the sd card 100% like a rom on a cart. This is not something that is currently universal, but progress continues to be made. I think it is really good for the ColecoVision, but has a way to go on the 2600 in last known versions for various FPGAs because the firmware has to be designed to behave like the different chip enhancements and bankswitching schemes of the cart pcb, since the sd card is not a cart pcb, it is just the rom on the cart pcb -- and the dumped ROM may be structural different on the sd card than it is on the original cart and the firmware has to be able to switch between cart types. Anyhow, a cart slot would help with a lot of this, because you wouldn't have to program the core firmware to behave like various cart pcbs and determine which one it should act like. One thing which emulation and sd card slots on FPGA (but probably not an actual cart slot) have in common is that if a new type of cart pcb comes along, both will need to be upgraded to use the rom with the new pcb scheme. BTW, I'm not an expert with the Harmony Encore SD Cart pcb for the 2600, so I don't know where the harware and firmware on it lies in promixity to FPGA or even if it's open source. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Game_Lover96 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Okay, and it CV Phoenix is actually better than the original CV because it takes RF unless being RGB modded and such. Also, if I buy one from the site, what will happen because it is still a pre-order thing from the site.
