Let me know if there is anything here you want tested and Ill try my best!

[toiletunes]

Perker Bros games, Solaris, Jr Pac, and Basic Programming. I know keypads don't work but I want to know if the game does. Also Kool Aid Man, someone said it glitches, would be cool to confirm on multiple systems/carts.

[toiletunes]

Last thing- could you start a game with a joystick plugged in then switch to genesis controller?

[gorfcadet]

I will be glad to. Kool Aid Man is one of my favorites!

Also, I'll try to swap a Genesis pad after boot. I'll try that in menu and in game both ways.

Stella version, not cart issue.

 

I just got Stella 3.9.3 working on this, and with it Kool-Aid Man is fixed. So the potential is there to upgrade ...

[Killjoyy27]

I get mixed messages on this , does the Harmony cart work on this ?

No

Not sure which joystick you got, but I received mine today and was testing out games when my joystick broke.

Be careful with it while reviewing.

I would like to know if a Harmony Cart works and how well Bubsy: Kitt'N Kaboodle works.

Glad I have originals and a few aftermarket options. Im very anxious to see if 7800 pads work.

Ill slap it on the SD and give it a spin. Hurry up UPS!

[NISMOPC]

HARMONY DOES NOT WORK

[gorfcadet]

My Berzerk VE is on a Harmony pcb. Ill be sure and test it too.

[RugglesTx]

Nice collection :0

 

Curious and the homebrews myself. That is a big deal IMO.

 

Looking forward to it.

[gorfcadet]

I'll be posting the video tomorrow afternoon once I have a chance to work around my screaming children's footage.

For now I will say the following:

My Genesis pads all worked IF I ran them through the 7800 adapter. How swapping without an adapter did not work.

My ProLine did not work at all - go figure.

My Atari 7800 "NES pads" all worked including my older one modded by Ax.

My modded Space Invaders Plug n Play A7800 stick worked.

 

Bubsy ran off the SD card

Pitfall II ran off the SD card

Parker Bros games were very problematic in general. Very finnicky.

Solaris booted up and I think it works, but I really don't understand that game.

Kool Aid Man is unplayable.

Basic Programming booted up.

Freeway played fine.

Dungeon - NO

Stella's Stocking - NO

Berzerk VE - NO

Chetiry - NO

 

I'll post the video in the afternoon. The kids were a little more wired than usual tonight, so I didn't get as far as I would have liked.

[gorfcadet]

Took longer than I thought to get it uploaded. Let me know if anyone has questions or wants me to test something. Paddle games do work with sticks/dpads. Indy 500 does not work with any controller I threw at it - paddle, driving, stick.

 

[+-^CrossBow^-]

Interesting..so Kool-Aid Man is doing the same issue it has on newer 2600jrs because of the revised TIA chips in those. So was the older version of Stella based on the newer revision TIA? Can also tell this because the score digits at the top aren't separated between the two players. So the score is triggering the player collision just like it does on the newer TIA revisions.

Zaxxon (Cart

Did this or other coleco carts work?

[+Nathan Strum]

There's a compatibility list available here: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/280100-retron77-compatibility-list/

 

Cartridge compatibility isn't very good. If you want to play cartridges, you're better off getting a real 2600.

 

 

Also, the default version of Stella on the RetroN is quite old. However, if you update it to the latest community build, ROM compatibility is near 100%, and you can run everything off its SD card so a Harmony (or other flash cart) isn't even necessary: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/289929-stella-6-on-the-r77-the-eagle-is-landing/
