Cheers everyone! My ATARI FLASHBACK PORTABLE [BATCH Y729 - the dark grey model, without the fake wooden parts] suddenly stopped playing out any audio on its build-in speaker. The headphone / minijack-audioport just works fine. Also connecting the little machine on a TV-set looks and sounds fine. I took a look inside (Wow, the AFP is really easy to open up!) and the two audio-cables are properly connected with the little speaker inside. No burnt-in, everything looks and smells fine, no visual damages. What to do? Anyone had the same issue? Thanx in advance.

Esteemed Atarians! /.-) I am selling this precious pearl in very good condition! Enchanter Spellbreaker - INFOCOM - RARE - SEALED - Atari ST 3,5" | eBay NOTE: There are more pics at the Ebay-link! The reason I am selling is not that I don´t want to keep and play it. I seriously wanted, BUT: I need a decent graphics-card for my 3D-game-development-project much more urgently and those beasts are expensive. But I placed the price of Spellbreaker clearly below another offer of a sealed package of this particular game on Ebay that I found a tad pricey. Mine is also in much better condition and unused! I am in Cologne, Germany but willing to send to USA via DHL Package (insured up to 600,- EUR). Other destinations need to be discussed with me ACHTUNG! 🙂 We can also swap for a decent graphic-card in good condition! Have a great week! Robert

Sorry, a bit of a spoiled question: Will this run on the Atari VCS Flaschback Portable? Or is there a reason I should not even try loading it on the SD-card? Thanx for any answer. upload.txt

Thanx on the tip about ARGON. Seems it also works on Android TV, which is something else than Android alone. EDIT: Alas! I tried it! And I was surprised how ATARI-centered it is! Unfortunately there is no way of creating SCANLINES, nor can I find a way to point to folders with ROMs. At least that is the case in the Android TV-version. Also, I cannot play without scanlines. It´s just ... blashpemy.

Ok, thanx mates! Well, The Nvidia ShieldTV is really a very nice gameing-device (Also possible to stream GeForceNOW-titles in 4K if necessary) and also probably the best TV-Box you can get at these days (My first two ones did not really work to their promised ad-talk) - So unfortunately RetroArchPlus it will be. Maybe I ll suggest something like porting a new 7800 Emulator for RetroArch in their forums. The Coleco-Emulator in RA is also complete rubbish. Couldn´t start ANY ROM with it, while the ShieldTV Pro can handle even a DreamCast EMU. And the ColecoVision was another really cool gaming device back then - in the carpet-warm and neonish 80ies... P.S. Oh! I found this:

Mate! This looks fantastic and thanx! Also nice to see some Spectrum-Games in the ATARI-Homebrew-universe. I like the colour schemes of the Spectrum, but never had one. ATARI and Spectrum 8-Bits truly have a "stylish" aspect to them and that is due to their colour palettes. A field where the C64 was terrible in. However, I cannot run your final ROMs. I have an original 7800 in my studio (With no Harmony-card, just many original Cartridges), but love to play 7800-Games Home on my Nvidia Shield TVPro (Android-TV 11) running them on RetroArchPlus (Which uses the ProSystem as Emulator), which is tremendously nice for playing NES, SNES, MegaDrive, PS1 and other things with per-shader simulated Scanlines and PC-Controllers. It runs ALL original 7800-ROMs in the a78-format and many finished homebrews as Ninjish Guy, Knightguy, Slideboyinmazeland, Galaxian and Dragon´s Decent (Half of the homebrews don´t work with RetroArch, I still don´t know why). Yesterday I tried to import and play the final versions of RobotsRumble and A.R.T.I. (That H.E.R.O.-clone) but just a black screen was returned by RetroArch´s 7800 Emulator. Do I miss something?

Wow. This looks incredibly awesome! ? I am not exactly aware of all the 7800er hardware-extensions that we have as of now. But will we ever be able to load this up into my 7800-Hardware for example as a RAM-extended Cartridge? Oh, and also I would also like to add: "TAKE MY MONEY!!! <3"

Very interesting approach! /.-) Just one dumb question: Will there be ever a ATARI Flashback Portable version?

AFP 7800er?? Yessir! /.-) PLEASE add a small 9-pin-port on the back, that can be used to connect an ext. Joystick for Player 2 using a small adapter! Impossible Mission ("Possible Mission" please!)
