atwwong Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 If Atari makes a Flashback 2 or whatever, it should have 100% compatibility with the VCS hardware, not the NES-on-a-chip solution. Maybe Atari will license production of Sunmark's work... Other things I would like to see: -compatibility with CX30 joystick & paddle, etc., plugs: if Atari is worried about legacy controller support, they could put a disclaimer right on the box stating they do not give technical support for legacy hardware, but they could still make it compatible -some way to use existing carts: Atari could have a disclaimer, same as above -a pause button -good shielding like the heavy-sixers (not likely in this age of plastic, but hey, this is a wish list) -detachable cords, making replacements easy -good games, originals, homebrews, repro's, whatever... That's all I can think of, for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laner Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 good shielding like the heavy-sixers (not likely in this age of plastic, but hey, this is a wish list) Would that really matter one way or the other? Wouldn't RF interference be a non-issue with a composite video connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't RF interference be a non-issue with a composite video connection? Hmmm... I'm not an electronics guy, so I don't know. But it would be nice to get something that doesn't feel like el-cheapo plastic (high quality plastic would be acceptable . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geosteve Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I got mine today, at Best Buy sold as an 'open item', basically a slightly damaged box, which was opened to check parts but it works fine. Only $26, should be worth that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Only $26, should be worth that You'll soon see that it's not. At least not for me ...the money doesn't really matter, but having a useless blob of plastic take up a power tap does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
