TrekkiELO Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 It's probably going to be the same deal as the Blast! stuff, which was October 1, but didn't really become available until mid-month. I'll see if there's a way to get a better date. Thanks Bill! What of their Portable, then how about official game lists for both it, the Flashback 9 Gold with Paddle availability, release dates and cost?

Atari Nut Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Bill, the release states that the Gold will have 120 games but you mentioned 130 in a previous post. Can you clarify? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like my mistake. It's definitely 120 now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakutoman Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Bill, just wanted to make sure i understand the stance here from atgames in an official manner, does this mean they are ok with people documenting findings and sharing custom made firmwares? I just want to make sure as I am sure many people have interest in this but want to make sure that ATGAMES would be completely ok with this and is this something that they feel ok with the atari flashback and other items such as the arcade flashback legends and such. thanks.

Sardonyx Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 AtGames Announces 2018 Line-up of Atari-branded Consoles, Software, and Handheld Products: https://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/2018/10/24/atgames-announces-2018-line-up-of-atari-branded-consoles-software-and-handheld-products/ The 9 is 110 games and the 9 Gold is 130 games (the Portable, 80). We'll release the official list at some point soon. Hi Bill, when I asked the other day, you clarified that Flashback 9 Gold will have 130 games. The artwork in your article and text says 120. Which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmadgames Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Other than having more games and the wireless controllers, are the Flashback 9 and 9 Gold the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know if they're planning Deluxe version, not the pricing or availability of paddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Did we find out if last year's wireless joysticks will be compatible with this year's wireless 2600 flashback? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Last year's wireless joysticks are not compatible. Wireless is also only possible on the Gold, not on the standard 9 (Boom) that comes with wired controllers. I asked about paddle availability and the possibility of a bundled versions anywhere. I'll let you know what I hear back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD_GASTER Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yes, 100% fine with it. Bill, just had to register to say thank you! I have done homebrew stuff for the 2017 sega flashback and I find this news exciting! I just received an arcade flashback in the mail that i bought and will be attempting to do custom firmware for it. I will open a thread in this section and keep everyone posted. Thank you again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmadgames Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Can anyone confirm how long the controller cords are on the regular Flashback 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyR Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Can anyone confirm how long the controller cords are on the regular Flashback 9? Five feet according to my mini tape measure (which is nice since the tape measure is only 5 feet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwlngmad Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 BTW, has the Sega Genesis Flashback portable been killed off? I know that Sega has now asserted control over the Genesis mini, but was just wondering if the portable has gotten the axe or not. If yes, that is a (bit of) a shame as that product had a lot of potential, as does the Atari portable if/when AtGames can improve upon that product some more.

Atariboy Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) I'd get out the game list that you published for the regular edition and compare the two for my own curiosity to see how they compare, but it seems pointless when there's a SD slot there. I do see the M-Network Data East ports and Pitfall 2 here, which were expected. I'd be particularly happy to see Bump 'n' Jump had the SD slot not been present. Has long been one of my favorite arcade ports on the 2600. Edited October 30, 2018 by Atariboy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that M-Network port of Data East's Bump 'n' Jump (USA) is going by its Japanese name, Burnin' Rubber, on the Atari Flashback 9 Gold for some unknown reason!
