I submitted a support ticket to Analog on their page and got this response: I would suggest folks interested in seeing this working also submit tickets. if only 2 people care about it I imagine it will be lower priority than if a lot of folks are affected by it.

Thanks so much for this. I’ve been getting up from the chair to turn the system on. like an animal!

Been playing BS Zelda on the Super NT. Man it looks and sounds pretty great. ?

Dude!? That’s crazy (tree on house). Hope everyone is ok. I need to get around to trying Sega CD games with my Mega SD. Also, pardon my ignorance. But what is the Analog DAC, what does it do? I went to the analog page and just see an add to cart but no actual description.

I agree with your sentiment. Personal attacks and condescension are never helpful to ones argument. I don’t want to assume I know Vanfanel’s mind and motivations so I will speak for myself here. I know for myself. I want to preserve the original experience and look to the extent possible. Minus slowdown and flicker. It’s frustrating to be told to be quiet and get over it because other folks are okay with “close enough” or “good enough”. It makes sense those folks don’t want to keep discussing the matter. They already have what they want. The problem with staying quiet about it is the company won’t see a desire or demand to go the extra mile and if they are smart, they aren’t wasting time on things that aren’t significantly important to their target customer base. So being vocal is a way ensure there is some chatter out there indicating interest and demand. This sort of thing has influenced many companies and products in the past. If done in high enough volumes and broadly enough it can make a difference and many more people can be happy.

Personal preferences are fine. His beef is legitimate. His personal preference is to see the game as it was originally designed to be presented back in the day. Currently the system does not give him that option. Analog aims for accurately capturing the original console behavior and experience. In this way he feels (and I agree) it falls short of fully doing so. I would also really like to see a full screen soft crt option for all the analog consoles similar to the mister. Since none of that was ever promised by Analog, I won’t hold it against them if they never add it. But I’d still love to have it.

I nearly bought that arcade stick until I read two things in the QA section. 1) you cannot pair it with their other 2.4g dongles (as you have now discovered for yourself) 2) they only claim it supports PC and Switch This is further verified in the customer questions and 8bitdo’s responses. Sorry friend. ? I also want to follow up on my earlier post about RetroUSB SMB2J being glitchy on the noir. The cartridge locks up after a few minutes of play. But with the jail break firmware I was able to dump it and play the rom for quite a while with no lockup’s and no graphics glitches. Does this mean my cart is bad? It’s not dirty. I guess I will have to try to dig out one of my OG NES consoles to double check the cartridge is not to blame. Was hoping someone here might already know, but that does not seem to be the case.

Got my gun metal gray noir on Monday. Enjoying it but found at least one game that gives it trouble. Anyone know if there are special settings I need to use for RetroZone SMB 2J to work right? It plays almost fine but I get weird intermittent glitching while the screen is scrolling. Like clouds and blocks will repeat for just a frame or two then disappear (I can grab video).

This is why I google search crazy stuff like “Mortal Kombat lynx” at 3:30am. ? nice job!

Stephena, fluxit, And dirtyhairy thanks for your work. I haven’t gone through this entire thread but I have two questions: 1) anyone else actively contributing to getting Stella 6 up and running on Retron77? 2) I see how to donate to Stephena. Is there any way to donate to the others I mentioned?

Thank you. Exactly what I have been thinking this entire time.

That button was very useful for compelling me to read the manual. I was like wtf is fry? Then I read the manual and was like “oh, okay. ... why would I want this?”

My Retron 77 arrived today in an inside out UPS box shipped USPS covered in packaging tape. There was no packing materials for it. Thankfully it arrived without damage. It just looked like a n00b eBay seller packed it. Based on that and the long trail of tears Ive read on this topic I honestly expected my experience to be a dumpster fire burning with regret. I unboxed it. Removed the SD card. Copied the small handful of hombrew games I sometimes play and grabbed a physical copy of my wifes favorite Lost Luggage. I downloaded the community version of Stella 3.9.3 from the Retron 77 page. Updated my SD card. Plugged in Lost Luggage and played until I got a score my wife could not beat. (took about 5 minutes). Pulled the cartridge out with the game running. The game selection menu does honestly need some work. My feeling is get rid of the icons and just show us the list of our games. I powered off the console at this point. Powered it back on. My homebrews loaded and played fine. Panky the Panda Donkey Kong 2014 Pac Man (the good one with the arcade layout, cut scenes, etc). Popped in Kaboom and plugged in my one plug 2 player paddles. Even not touching the dial the input is twitchy (like some others have mentioned). But it was playable. It doesnt seem to remember the aspect ratio setting between power cycles, but I can live with that and surprisingly I find that I dont mind 16:9. I dont have a game to test my racing controller with. I popped in Star Raiders and plugged in my Video Touch Pad. The game plays but does not recognize the touchpad. Graphics and sound are wonderful. This is a great way to play Panky. My original 7800 joystick works. I did not sense any lag with this connected to my 4K Roku TV in Game Mode. Overall I am happy with my purchase. Wishlist items: - Fix the paddle sensitivity - Add Video Touchpad Support - Get rid of the icons, just show the game list - Add 7800 game support

It's been a while, but landed myself a thrift find I'm pretty happy about! Found this guy hanging out in the wild at my local thrift store. $2.99 sealed!!! Gex for 3DO!!!

It was fun for sure. I found his story about the fund raiser they did for for research on pediatric AIDS to be especially touching. If any homebrewers or indie devs here on Atari Age wanna be a guest sometime just hit me up in a pm.

Most folks don't know, because I don't typically advertise it on here, but I co-host a weekly live show about retro gaming. Last month it was my privilege to interview Tom Kalinske the CEO of SEGA from 1990-1996! He talks Genesis v.s. Nintendo, why the SEGA CD was not a mistake, raising money to fight aids, how many cease and desist notices he got from Nintendo during his tenure. We even talked hoverboards! (Tom also used to be CEO of Mattel). If you like SEGA you should definitely check it out! Towards the end he gives his impressions on the Playstation VR!

Sending a pm for the multipas!!!!

Holy cow, that is the exact motherboard I had in my first home computer. We started out with a TI 486 DLC CPU. I used to joke that it stood for "Da Low Cost" because it didn't have a math co-processor. Later we upgraded to a Cyrix 486 DX/2 processor so I could use Autocad in Windows 3.11. Wow. At one point we tried to put in an evergreen 133mhz CPU but it was just too much for the board to handle. Talk about a blast from my past. I'm heading down to the basement now to see if I've still got it.

$30 for a 500gb super slim is an absolute steal. congrats!

The entire Truama series is pretty good!

looking forward to hearing more about this and throwing some money at you when it's ready.

I only issue I have with the WiiU game pad is battery life. Currently playing Child of Light. It's a pretty good Metriodvania style RPG. Fantastic graphics. I hate to say it but buy it on another platform because (I recently learned) the developers have decided not to release any of the DLC on the WiiU.

Can hardly wait for this. Still need to find a pokey though.

There is an option to set the entire os menu to English.

I shall check it out today!
