I'm not skilled enough to be able to modify my own paddles to work with the FB 9. Is anyone making and selling these?
-
Dos original or the ports? Which do you like?
There was a port for the Tapwave Zodiac, too. -

Agreed, I go years between updating Mame
I'm still running MAMEUI64 0.143 from June of 2011 on my desktop. I'm running MAME4droid 0.139u1 on my Android Nvidia Shield. There's an update it wants to download, but I won't let it, because what I have now works with my ROM set.

I can't keep up with MAME and the need for new ROMsets.

[mention=13851]MrBeefy[/mention] the old collections on CD are good if you don't mind playing on a computer (and you can bring a modern emulator and run the ROMs if you want).
Intellivision Lives for DS is neat because it uses the touchscreen to simulate the number pad with an overlay. The emulator isn't perfect but the controller gimmick works for this purpose. Again, it's a shame it was never updated with the emulator quirks fixed and more software included, but it's still neat. Not "buy a whole new system to play old games" neat, but cool if you have a 3DS already.
And the bottom row was cut off for Treasure of Tarmin, making it unplayable. I'm still bitter.-

And be prepared to turn it all off and put it all away if your date wants to move in a different direction than joysticks and reset switches.
This. Hopefully there have been several dates already and she's expressed an interest in your Atari, because this just seems like a bad idea.

I preordered from Amazon, and it showed up today, on release day. I wonder if there's Mini Fatigue out there. I went by Walmart after work to do some shopping, and I saw 2 of these in the case.

That's an interesting solution. With all the complaints about the emulator, does this also replace the emulator or include any firmware changes? Or is the emulator good enough as is? With ROM sites having dried up, I might go this direction.
I saw from an online review that it uses the same stock emulator. I ordered it anyway, and I picked up my $20 Playstation Classic from Gamestop today.

I did it this way. I've been down the road of ROM collecting and enjoy it, but unless you are ready to sort a bunch of PS1 ISOs (which some people are but I wasn't) then this is a great shortcut.
Here's an English link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QLCMK4N/?coliid=I12V0YW5BFQ0B8&colid=33MGG9TAY6GX&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

The SNK 40th Anniversary Collection is on sale at Steam for $14.99. That was about the right price for me, so I picked it up. Digital Eclipse does good work with lots of extras, and this package is no exception.

about five years too late but I think it would've been better to find an old E:T cartridge remove the rom erase it or smash it keep it for spares who cares its a worthless game remove the label and burn it take the fb3 cb out of its case shrink the start select power difficulty board reposition the joystick ports cut away any plastic inside the case that in the way after all the wire cb and port relocation it should be something along the lines of controller ports at the bottom of the cartridge av ports power port at the top and start select ect on the sides with a custom atari label replacing the old one because of the small size of the flashback board it should fit inside the cartridge though it may potrude past the original plastic inside the case if you know how to work with plastic it shouldn't be a problem I do personally have issues with people destroying original hardware but its not my console and people can do whatever they want their stuff if this isn't a hybrid console then it was a waste of an original atari the guy could've bought a fb2 it had the cartridge port connections so with some light modification it could accept atari cartridges he could've just mounted the cartridge port in the appropriate spot he could've rewired the fb start select board to the original switches that would've been cool he could've sold the original board to someone who could've used as not to waste a near 40 year old console he could've made the fb fit in a non-destructive way as it is only about half the size of a cartridge or just not destroyed an old 2600 and got a fb2 3d printed a case modified it to accept cartridges and left it at that but what can anyone do about it now its been years dude probably threw it away by now
I can't read that.-

Finally got around to opening and checking out the BittBoy I received weeks ago. So far, I like it much better than the PocketGo. That screen is really nice, and I don't notice any light bleed with it. There's a little scratch in the black bezel where light comes through, and that's annoying, but for the price point? I guess that's to be expected. Side by side, the BittBoy feels like a better build than the PocketGo. The NES emulator is still shit, which is too bad. Everything else that I'd expect to be playable is, though. I'm not really expecting much from SNES and up.
A volume wheel would be nice. You can change volume to a few presets with select and A or B, but you're stuck with those set levels with nothing in between. I'm also not sure about the form factor, as far as comfort goes. Maybe I just hold it weird, but I couldn't play this for long stretches.

Is that light bleed, or a reflection?
The bottomish left is a reflection of the light bleed from the top left.

My expectations must have been way too high, because this is a purchase I regret. I was hoping this would be a decent go-to for GBA gaming. The processor is just too slow. There's enough lag in the GBA emulator that it throw off gameplay. Forget about the NES emulator. I'd call that one unplayable. The GB emulator is good enough. I haven't tried the rest, because 8GB (like 6.5 usable) isn't a lot of space. I could buy a bigger micro SD card, but it doesn't seem worth the bother.
Unfortunately I have an unopened BittBoy that I bought right before this arrive. I'm sure that'll be the same experience.
I'm running custom firmware 1.1. My particular unit also has a problem with the screen, where it looks like it wasn't installed properly. See the white lite at the top of the attached photo. Trying to work with China to return or exchange it is frustrating, to say the least. Between this and the Bittboy that I've yet to try, this is probably $75 I'll
just write off as a bad decision. I don't understand all the gushing reviews of this.

On a PocketGo: For the life of me, I cannot get my Windows 7 computer to assign a drive letter to anything but the boot partition of the micro SD card. As a result, I cannot add my own ROMs to the card. Disk Management can see the partition, but it cannot assign a drive letter, so I cannot get to it. I tried downloading custom firmware using instrucions at https://jutleys.wixsite.com/bittboynew4u/post/preorder-the-new-bittboy-pocket-go-35-99-ships-on-15th-june-2019, but that didn't help. In fact, it wiped out the ROMs that came with it, so I'm in worse shape than when I started.

8bitDo just announced a Bluetooth version of their Genesis M30 controller and retro receiver. Analogue promotes the 2.4ghz version on their site alongside the Mega Sg. I have the 2.4ghz version preordered with Amazon, but I am thinking of getting the Bluetooth receiver and their 6-button Genesis controller Bluetooth DIY kit to use on one of my old controllers...
Which version would be better?
Nice. If it's as well done as their SNES controller, I'll be getting one for sure for Android emulation.

There will be an option to place everything elsewhere (a 'basedir' commandline argument). It didn't make it for 6.0, as there were much more important things to do. But it will be there for 6.1. So that means all files can be placed in one location, and no 'phantom' directories will be created where they're not needed.
My annoyance (if you sensed it) is not with you or your request. Just with the fact that this issue has been popping up for (literally) years. And we can never seem to solve it properly. When I implement the fix in 6.1, it will be the last time I will have to look at this, since it will accommodate everyone's preferences.
From someone who benefits from the fruits of your labour and the labour of others who work hard on emulation like this, thank you for all that you do!

Looks like the direction is to put the non-program files into Appdata or My Documents. I'm just an end-user who doesn't contribute to the project, so I know my opinion mostly doesn't matter. But with emulators, I much prefer everything to be self contained in 1 folder, not spread all over the hard drive. Maybe I'm in the minority.
-
Is there a way to modify the base directory? I've modified all of the Configure Paths to C:\Games\Stella, but I'd really like for stella.ini to be in that location as well, instead of in ~\AppData\Roaming\Stella

Does anyone know if the new and improved joystick is included at this time, and if so, how to tell the difference from the outside of the box?

The old paddles do. I think that the ones for the Flashback 9 would not — although we won’t know for sure until we have them to test.
It would be good to eventually pull one of the newer ones apart and see what can be done (if anything) to make a universal paddle. (With cost considerations being a very high priority it would be understandable why Atgames wouldn’t bother with this.)
I have a Flashback 5 that came with AtGames paddles. If I'm understanding you:
Flashback 5 paddles should work with the Flashbacks (from 3-8?) before the Flashback 9 as well as with original hardware.
Original Atari paddles should work with the Flashbacks (from 3-8?) before the Flash back 9 as well as with original hardware (obviously).
There are no paddles that exist that will work with the Flashback 9.
Is that right?
-
It doesn’t work with standard paddles. Availability of the correct ones isn’t clear right now.
I would think it should work with other controllers that just use joystick mapping, but you don’t know until you try.
Do AtGames paddles work on original hardware?
-
Considering I'm still running Stella 3.7.4, maybe it's time to upgrade.

Do you enjoy your VCS? Recommend purchasing one?

I was going to preorder the Atari 2600+, but now I'm leaning more toward a VCS. The all-in bundle is on sale now for $225 (https://atari.com/products/atari-vcs-onyx-all-in?variant=41737024569509). For those who own one, do you regret your purchase? Would you recommend purchasing one? What do you mostly use yours for?
I'm on the fence on this one.
