    No, it's not normal. I have played the cart on my childhood 7800, and it's fine there. So I'm not the only one. I spent a pretty penny to get it from ebay since I didn't know about it when it first came out, so I hope it gets fixed on the 2600+'s firmware end soon.

     

    And, you know, that it doesn't get fried.

     

    I did some more testing with the Atari released Yars' Return today and there is definitely something wrong.  I tried it in my original system and it played correctly.  I let it run for two hours and there was no heat on the cartridge.  I then put it in the 2600+ and had the same issues as before with only half the field working and overheating in under 20 minutes. 

     

    I also had an old cart from a 2005 version that is a flickering nightmare, but it worked correctly in the original unit and 2600+.  I left it in the plus for about an hour and there was no heating issue.  It seems like some kind of load issue that is causing constant hits on the most recent cartridge and resulting in the game chip(s) heating up.

    Did the play field work correctly for you? Like, in the first level, the barrier is a circle. On my 2022 cart, it was showing up as a semicircle on the left and a rectangular block on the right that you couldn't damage at all. It essentially only let you play on the left side of the screen.

    I could only attack from the left as you described.  I didn't take the time to find the manual, so thought this was normal.

  3. I spent yesterday showing one of my oldest friends the 2600+ and playing games all day.  We had a blast remembering our favorite games and trying the new stuff he had never heard of.  We did run into two games that had some issues:

     

    Fall Down - We could not get the two player mode to work because the right joystick wasn't recognized as active.  We played Asteroids just prior, so it was operating correctly before and after this game.  Maybe we missed something simple?

     

    Yars' Return - After playing for about 20 minutes the screen suddenly went blank and the loading/failing messages started.  I pulled the cartridge out to re-seat it and noticed the cartridge was hot to the touch.  This seemed odd as I don't recall that happening on any other cart.  I touched the slot area and it didn't seem hot, so something in the cartridge was generating it.  Rather than risking melting something in the cart, we moved on.

  4. Here is my list of what isn't working with the factory installed firmware on the 2600+.  The first few items are categories than the carts are listed alphabetically.  I'll try to refine this some more so that it can be more useful in identifying issues.  The list is 86 lines.  I mostly left off games that needed the special controllers as long as they loaded and would start, I'm hoping it is a priority to add support for the first 3 categories.

    Thanks for all this testing!  Would be awesome if you could compile a list of just "Homebrew that works with 2600+" when you are all done with your testing.

    That's a good idea.  I was going to start with a list of what doesn't work to help encourage Atari to work on more compatibility.

  13. Two quick updates:

     

    I indicated that the "End" Homebrew worked on the 2600+, but it actually does not.  I didn't mark it properly in my notes.

     

    After more cleaning and about 20 tries, I finally got the Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes working.  It needed to be pushed all the way to the right for it to be read correctly.

  14. Round 3 of testing.  No special controllers tested like driving, keypad, trackball, or quadtari's since they reportedly don't work yet.

     

    There was one game that wouldn't work on any system, which kind of gutted me, since it was part of my original collection:

     

    Sky Jinks (If I don't have a duplicate somewhere, I'll need to replace this)

     

    Games that worked on original hardware but not the 2600+:

     

    Qyx

    Gorf Arcade

    RubyQ

    Scramble (Champ Games)

  15. Day two of testing.  I should have mentioned in the first post that all games are NTSC unless indicated otherwise.

     

    Games that didn't work on the 2600+, but did on original hardware:

     

    Dragon's Descent (Screen was Garbled)

    Wizard of Wor (Champ Games)

    Tyre Trax

    Galagon

    Aardvark (Screen was Garbled)

    RS Boxing

    Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes

     

    Games that kind of worked but seemed to have issues on 2600+:

     

    Landfill - Seemed to play fine, but did not hear any sounds

    X3V0lux - The label indicated it worked with joysticks or paddles but neither option would work

    Zaxxon - The sound had a lot of static.  Not sure if this is the way it was originally as my Telegames unit had the same sound

     

    Games that required cleaning to work on the 2600+:

     

    Riddle of the Sphinx

    Tutankham

    Word Zapper

     

    Games that worked but were finicky on how to insert the cart on both units.  The only method that worked was to gently press in on the right side and then push the cart down from right to left.

     

    Pressure Cooker

    Private Eye

     

    Games that worked.  Again I didn't test the trackball mode since it currently doesn't work.

  16. Received my pre-order from Atari.com yesterday.  I love it so far and hope the firmware updates come soon.  I pulled out a bunch of carts today and started testing.  I had a Sears Telegames 6 switcher also set up to test any carts that didn't work on the 2600+.  I don't have a 7800 out at the moment and since they are homebrews I didn't expect them to work with the factory firmware.  I'm using a OLED television with any filtering turned off to reduce possible lag.

     

    7800 games I tried that didn't work:

     

    KC Munchkin

    Astro Blaster

    Bob Decrescenzo Collection

     

    There were 2 games that wouldn't work on the 2600+ or the Original unit.  I vaguely remember this might be an issue with my Telegames model, so need to find a different unit to test these on.

     

    The Byte before Christmas

    Stay Frosty 2

     

    Games that did not work on the 2600+ but did on original hardware, I think most of these are already known.

     

    Robotwar

    Load Runner

    Evil Magician II

    Millipede Track Ball (the garbled screen shot is below) (TB not tested as known to not work currently)

    The Pursuit of the Pink Panther

     

    Games that required cleaning to work on both units:

     

    King Kong

    Stone Age

     

    Games that worked on original hardware but needed cleaning to work on the 2600+

    Scuba Diver

    Atlantis - Cromax

    Imagic (Brazilian multi cart) Pac-Man / River Raid / Pitfall / Space Invaders

     

    Games that worked:

    4 in 1 paddle games

  17. I normally avoid collectors editions, but one of the early suggestions of the SwordQuest games made me think about what would it take to get me to buy:

     

    1.  My estimate of retail price at $100 -$150, depending on what is included

    2.  All 4 games on a dip switch cart like the paddle games one

    3.  Include all 4 manuals and all 4 comic books (If Airworld doesn't have these yet, they should be created)

    4.  Work with Boss Fight Studios using their Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. 1/18 system to make Torr and Tarra action figures.  The Earthworld outfits are probably the best for this package.  There are figures like the Tarzan ones or Fantasy or Greek that could be used for the base.

    5.  Also have Boss Fight create the 5 prizes in 1/18 scale for the figures to play with.  This way all of us get to pretend that we won.
