Are you talking about the email they sent, or the post I posted? Either way, there are many people posting in different places. "I ordered 2 months ago, when can I expect it to arrive at my house" type posts. So it would seem that they either didn't read any of the updates, think that it's 2021 already, or think that they are so f-ing special that they should have theirs by now. ONe of many examples 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I’m just curious. I know firmware has been done for the MISTer to play problematic A2600 games like Pitfall 2 on its A2600 core last April. Is there a significant barrier to implementing this on the Phoenix’s core or is it a lack of time to devote to that core. I ask because I seem to remember the conversion from MISTer to Phoenix was supposed to be fairly straightforward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll soon have a dedicated section on our website You should be on Facebook, even with a private account if you prefer that We're posting exclusive news etc. on the CollectorVision Phoenix FB page 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Ok,. I 'll think about the private facebook account. I don't like their data harvesting of users is why i'm not on there. Plus a few annoying family members that keep finding me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I feel much the same as digress about Facebook and am unwilling to even entertain a private account. Rather saddened to hear that exclusive news is posted there and is not also sent to those on CollectorVision's mailing list or members of the club. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alortegac Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Latest official production status, general information, downloads and manuals should be available on the website by “Collectorvision” for the public. Like any other product in market. Anyone could have access to it. Single point, easier to update. Hopefully, this happens in the future.

No power line on pin 7 of controller port, like there is on the 7800. The core doesn't do very good with the fancy 2600 homebrews yet anyway, even if you added a power line to pin 7 of an adapter with a Zener diode isolator. I would wait for the cart adapter to re-evaluate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
