The music plays for me (on title screen). It kinda slows down and sounds wrong, but it's been a long time since I played it on my real atari so.. not sure. I know the dithering on title screen is screwed up and needs that CRT filter fix thing I saw on here. Gameplay is solid tho.

Neat !

Yeah all Melody board games don't work. If they had to use an ARM processor to make it happen, it won't work on 2600+ right now.

I know this is a common issue, but it's not that. There's a problem with the paddle behavior. You can tell because on Atari 50 it behaves properly (although no paddles there) Some games with paddles work better. A few don't and Super Breakout is one. My TV is always in the correct Game mode on both.

It's not just the PAL version.

It does fix a lot of carts, but some of the activision carts remain problematic. My Pitfall boots up more often than not now, but my Megamania is still finicky even after multiple cleanings. Regardless, I have a centipede 7800 with no issues, so normal carts that are clean do work on that

Yes, and it's been discussed on here a few times.

WOOOOOWWWWW That's pretty damn cool

The silver era was the golden age of atari games

It's literally video game history, Intro screens weren't a thing until later, so some later games have them, and others don't.

Activision carts are also more problematic than others. Like way more.

I haven't been able to get mine to work either. You're not alone. I've given up on it anyway and collected real carts.

It has great gameplay. Esp with the music. Yeah it may look kinda "bad" but it's a solid and enjoyable 2600 cart, making the usual allowances for this machine. Going thru the 128 bytes of RAM solar system is just cool. And it's not a cart that "cheats" by having an ARM processor on board.

Oh yeah. Gotta have gyruss. Pretty rare tho

No complaints from me. Keep improving it

It does not work on 1.0. You will need to be on 1.1 for most of the "unknown" type 7800 homebrews that are non melody boards.

I'm looking for this cart (Pac Man collection, the one that works on 2600+) if anyone wants to sell me one

You can make a fantastic, great TV show, and there will still be 10-100 youtube "influencer" channels chasing.... (not sure what. clout ? money ? no cap as the kids say) by making negative videos. This was NOT a thing 10 years ago and is just another sad part of our society. So now people's opinons on youtube I trust much less as a result. This is also the same for new products, anything that gets attention, every tom, dick and harry wants to get up and act like they're an expert, telling you their opinion because they have a camera and an editor. It's whatever.

Well we have our Answer folks. It's the Adorable Atari 400 mini https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/shopping/the-latest-mini-console-is-this-adorable-atari-400/ar-AA1mOwc1 I for one will be in line. At least when I can order it from Amazon, lol

Oh, my bad. for some reason I thought I couldn't edit it. Sure, I think it's been confirmed also by a few others. I'm hopeful we can get it working in a new update, as while it's not a great game, it is a classic and I would like to play it lol

Well if that sigterm kill minus 15 is sufficient to work properly to switch carts quickly; which I'm not sure about because there's probably a reason why they wanted to use kill minus 9... this would be a great improvement because games like Juno first really benefits from having a high score that is saved

Juno First has issues with it's Title Screen and Music speed on Title Screen. That should be added to the notes. Double Dragon 7800 (activision, white label) can be added with "Fail". Boots to black screen atm. I personally think you'd get a lot better results if you just opened this up for the public (i.e., us) to update.

No, I have a cart with the issue with it.

It's definately a PAL cart then. 1.) You need to clean if It's failing with game load failed text after a short time trying to load. 2.) if games load for a while and then go to black screen, likely incompatible (currently) 3.) PAL games have more issues on 1.0

Just go with Ben. He is Atari when it comes to this. Sucks about your pin.
