Loafer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Let me tell you this.... There's more to the picture than meets the eye I'm giving it a shot, el predicto in action! - your picture shows not just the case, but a fully populated unit (note the expansion port, etc)\ - this signifies early access is ahead of schedule - in turn for this awesome accurate guess, you will let some guy named loafer upgrade his regular Phoenix to the early access Phoenix (paying the proper rate of course). how'd I do and I'm ready!

The arcade roms will need to be provided by the user, which can then be compiled with a program to run on the Phoenix. Collectorvision will not provide the actual rom for the arcade games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmack36 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Will this capability be similar to how the Mister project provides arcade cores? Yes it will be similar, although the loading will be a little different since the Phoenix doesn't have the Linux ARM processor onboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBerel Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Now this has me interested. When you have some details on the compatibility for arcade games I'm inclined to buy one. Of course then the race becomes making an awesome looking front end for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 This is pretty good news, I'll be monitoring this thread to learn more. Are we talking vertical (TATE) arcade games, or just non-TATE, or both? It would be kinda cool to play the ColecoVision and arcade versions of such games as Venture and Time Pilot on the same machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

128Kgames Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Just pulled the trigger and picked up a standard edition along with a boxed copy of the pack in game + a controller ('cause I'm too lazy to pick one up on my own). System keeps looking better and better every day. Here's to taking some time off this summer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Both ways are possible But if you're playing in TATE mode, you'll need to rotate your monitor This will require some remodeling, but sounds worth it. I'd like to request a user-friendly key-mapper, if possible, at least as easy as MAME, that would work with the SNES and 4-button Edladdin controllers, for games like Defender, Stargate, and some of the fighting games, for instance.

Agreed, I would like to also make games works with our upcoming Arcade Controller (with both Spinner/Trackball interface) An all in 1 solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon57 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I know what TATE refers to, but I have never seen what it stands for? Can someone point me to some info on the origin of the term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"tate" mode (from the Japanese word for vertical ( 縦 ) pronounced "tah-tay"), that is, a vertical monitor setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
