Laner Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's all in this thread. Short version - For all intents and purposes, it's indefinitely on hold. Though others are working on alternate solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+batari Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Concerto isn't on hold, really, it is in active development. Not every day, but several hours a week, for sure. With the stay-at-home orders I have had more time for AtariAge projects. 31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7800 has a ton of good development tools now, and a that has contributed to a pretty awesome surge in homebrew projects, but it's been tricky to actually test stuff on physical hardware! I've been relying on the kindness of fellow forum folk to see how well my games work - It sounds like it'll be a long line of buyers to join, but I am -very- interested in a 7800 SD-Cart or similar setup! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Ditto for me ... I've had to cross develop my music on the 8-bit platform ... frustrating not to be able to test on real HW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Between this and the XM, I am very excited about the 7800 and ended up with a wrecked one that I fixed and one still in a case. Hoping I can irder bith at about the same time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mksmith Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 No doubt there will be a long queue to grab one of these now for sure. Like all of our projects the good ones take time and hopefully we can all eventually benefit from another members great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I would lend you guys mine if it was more reliable but it would not help you much as how would you know if it is a game glitch or cart glitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 My WiFi SD interface has been working pretty solid for over a year. You can launch a game from the shitter, with your phone. LOL No interest in making it pretty or cheap anymore though. Lucky I am alive. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, now if you can make it so you can screen cast to your phone while on the shitter so you don't have to stop playing when the tacos hit? How awesome would that be?

Clearly this thing is never being used by anyone but you at your work bench right? Your device might as well not exist at all as far as anyone aside from yourself is concerned. Batari and Saint are both working on devices that are for the masses. For all anyone knows this has been done 10 times over for the 7800 by random people who have built such a thing for themselves and they just never mentioned it to anyone or just don't care to participate in such discussions online. Might as well be 100 times over that it's been made in that type of situation as it does nothing for anyone. I think it's neat what you made cause I'm a friend who has watched it grow over time, most others really won't give two shits cause it means nothing if they don't have access to enjoy it for themselves and they don't give a shit what you have made for yourself. It's like the kid saying "I have a shinny ball! Look at the cool ball I have!" and then turning around and saying no to the other kids that show any interest and ask to play ball with him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeefy Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I personally think being able to load games from the shitter would be a life goal for any retro enthusiast. Can't wait to see the various options develop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no personal interest in “pretty” as such - if it works, I’d like one, especially if it can support a POKEY. Personally, I’m glad you’re alive. You’re one of the most consistent no-bullshit guys on these forums and I appreciate that. Edited May 20, 2020 by DrVenkman typo 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes diving into a hobby can be a good way to forget about the world for a bit, but other times you just can't concentrate on it when bad things are going on. I've been on both ends of the spectrum lately (I *still* have a major 7800 proto to review, but my heart just isn't in it right now). Just make sure you take care of yourself first as that's the most important thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
