I have a modified Atari 7800 with s-video out. After around ten minutes of play, the screen will go black. The game is still playing because I can hear sounds and control the action. I just can't see anything. I turn off the machine and back on and I get a picture. Any ideas?

I have a Kangaroo cabinet with atari volcano start buttons on it. From what I understand Kangaroo never had light up start buttons like Millipede and other games had. The buttons don't have two additional wires for the leds. I wondering if it is possible to wire up the leds to blink when a coin is inserted. I assume it would be similar to Dig Dug.

Has anyone bought this joystick for their arcade rig? GRS Tron Arcade flight stick. It is USB and lights up.

I'm not sure how that would work on an unmodified system considering 5V is too low an input voltage for the 7805 regulators inside the 5200.
How about a unmodified 2 port system? Same problem right? I wish I could find that link.

It is possible. I remember finding a site that sells 5200 USB power supplies. I just can't find it anymore.

Has your collecting habits changed due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak? Do you still search for games? Do you disinfect anything you buy? Do you do it exclusively online now. Are you worried about saving your money for long term needs?

Is that vintage Reagan era dust or something newer??

Atomic Blonde had an Atari ST in an East German underground base.

There is a 5200 somewhere in this picture.

I would rather see Star Castle on the 5200 than Yars Revenge. YR was originally supposed to be Star Castle but it was thought it couldn't be built.
-
It would be interesting if we could purchase an Omni core and cartridge port for the Phoenix in the future.
-
Any chance we will see Pac-man DX be released? I have an old beta that doesn't really work very well on the Phoenix. It would be nice to have the completed version.
How about Space Invaders DX, The Maze of Galious and Lady Bug? I know DK is pretty much dead.

I love this game. It's the best game I have for the Phoenix. Very well done platformer.

I got the same problem, i bought a hdmi switch to do on off (like à reset) when i switch a cartrige and now work very fine, contact them if you have problem, they gave me an excellent customer service and we fix the problem in the same day
Mine is more of a hardware problem since the cartridges don't work at all. White screen every time. We will work on an exchange this week.

It is possible there is an issue with you system if it doesn't recognize any cartridges, in which case we would need to swap out your system.
IM sent.

Is the 2600 core in black and white as well or just the cv core?
The 2600 core is in color. I turned it off and back on again and reselected CV and it is in color now. However it refuses to acknowledge any cartridge plugged in now.

Try unplugging the HDMI and power then turn on the system with no cartridge. Does it boot up the first time? Is it only powering off the system and then turning it back on that generates the white screen?
A cartridge will always generate a white screen. Without a cartridge, it is in black and white with the switch. I've even restarted the switch. I'll try it directly now.

There are 2 known issues at the moment.
The white screen on boot is one of them. Some TVs backfeed power to the system which keeps the system from powering all the way off. The best way to fix it is to use a HDMI switch inbetween the tv and Phoenix. Inserting some original games, like DK Jr., into the system when the power is off can actually power the system down and allow it to come back up. The other temporary option is to unplug the HDMI cable and put it back in.
I do have a switch between the second tv and the Phoenix. Turned it back on with no cart and it's in black and white.
-
Other TV returns a white screen with any cartridge. Without cartridge, I get white wavie lines. No picture.
So far not impressed.
-
I think I have a bad unit. I can't run any cartridges. Every cartridge including Syndey Hunter brings up a white screen. If I start without a cartridge, I get the startup and then a list of colecovision roms. I've updated both cores found a the top of this page. I'm going to try a different tv.

Got mine today!!!!
What serial number did everyone get? I got 000326.

I'm still holding out hope for a 7800 core. Would it be a difficult one to do?
A machine that does CV, 2600, 7800, and Intellivision would a dream come true
Better still a 7800 core with built in XM support. We may never get a physical XM but a FPGA version would rock.

It could be worst. Imagine putting money down on the 7800 XM more than ten years ago with nothing to show for it.

That makes sense. I'll see about lighting them always on. Thanks!
