This looks good, geez to me it seems like only yesterday Windows 10 came out! I’ll definitely be installing this on my VCS at some point when it becomes available, I’ll wait untill the bugs and stuff get ironed out first like with any new OS that comes out.
It is indeed still a little too early to put it in the main system, but I did not resist, I wanted to see what awaits us for the next few years, because we will say what we want, but on the scale of the planet Microsoft is inevitable.
Besides, I am as pleasantly surprised by this Windows 11 version as I was disappointed by the VHDX of Windows 10X in Hyper-V.
Or it's in my head, or the graphical interface seems even more fluid than with Windows 10. To be continued...

If I re-flash the Atari - the bootloader for Ubuntu goes away... which is not exactly desirable.
No
Because your Grub is on first partition on eMMC is efi(0) on picture
Restauration disk don't format this first partition I believe, verify but I think it doesn't format it

Ok, I now have Windows and Batocera installed on the M.2 and working great.
Hello,
At this point my method
In Windows disk manageur I reduce Windows primary partition with size you want for Ubuntu
I create a new partition, don' t have to format
In Ubuntu find your partiton, create, format EXT4 with "\" for partition
For Grub, sorry I forget the name of partition in Linux but this is the first EFI partition on eMMC (This partition serves no other purpose than Grub, not for Apertis)
With rEFInd VCS or Grub VCS Multi boot loader you can delete Grub for Ubuntu BUT You don't see Atari logo during start, only texte
To keep logo indicate to rEFInd VCS or Grub VCS to point bootx64.efi

Everything seems to be going well. Very impressed, I wait to discover more ^^

Moved physicaly M.2 SSD disk to internal. Work great

Ok, I now have Batocera & Ubuntu installed on the M.2 with about 400G of free space left. I also have a 128G USB stick with Windows 10 on it (used the WinToUSB program) that boots on the VCS fine, it is updated (I did have to load the Realtek Wifi drivers to get that working). I'd now like to get it off the USB stick and onto the free space on my M.2 drive so I'll have all 3 OS on there for easy access. Any suggestions on how to get Windows from the USB to the M.2 (without having to erase what I already have on there)?
I usually do it the other way around.
- I install Windows on USB and I duplicate on the internal M.2 card, which erases it completely.
- I reduce the Windows partition and create my other partitions to the desired size.
- In each of the partitions I restore a system that I have previously backed up with DiskGenius in .pmf format that restore filesystem toSo if I were you, I would backup the Batocera and Ubuntu partitions. And I would transfer Windows to M.2 internal + restore the backups

4K works just fine for me. It's PC mode that I am having issues with. I've tried so many times to install windows, but I just get a black screen or "no video" for a great length of time before I give up and restart the system in Atari OS...
I can't explain but when I move my consoles and differents kind of screens TV 4K, PC FHD, court focal, some times I got black continus screen
For me the resolve was to test and change some hold HDMI cables that were not good on all my screens.
The cables I receive with consoles are not really good I got Black screen on my court focal and finish missing entry HDMI
Maybe give a chance to an other HDMI cable ? witch with an other one or with a friend

23 minutes ago, moonchilddave said:How exactly do you go about updating from a recovery image? Where does one get the recovery image? It'd be nice to be able to update the system again now that a new update is out.
find file here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hsIe9H432CXJkjfyctrHo8Ks--_GnQRc/view?usp=sharing
But Grub2 does not prevent the update, it is deleted when the Atari system is updated. You have to reinstall it afterwards so
For me it has often been a problem to try to install different OSes on the same card.
The problem often comes from the loader or rather the loaders.
The Grub2 VCS I shared duplicates the native Android Grub I think. It's the same if you install Ubuntu, the included grub is also duplicating. For my part I deleted all the duplicate grub loaders.
For Batocera it's another thing, it's syslinux.To avoid bad surprises on the M.2 card, I do all my installations on an external SSD disk in USB. I save the partitions of the different systems I want to install, with DiskGenius in .pmf format.
From there I resize my partitions as I want them on my M.2 card (I don't even have to format them) and I restore in each of them the previously saved systems.
Hopefully this can help you

General: with just a small nudge or tug on the cord, my VCS loses power.
Has anyone found the power supply to be flakey?Hello,
My two power supplies work, but seems to be of very average quality (hot box, sign of poor quality components)
By chance I got two others compatibles power supplies from my Asus FX504 laptop that work eatch.
Asus PN : A15-120P1A
By chance the connector used by Atari is common to many PC power supplies.
You will find without difficulty I think a replacement power supply if needed.

3/ Go down to EFI, enter in menu
4/ indicate your defined boot order
5/ Press F10 buton to save changes
6/ Confirm changes, Yes
The console shutdown and restart on defined boot order

That was basically what mine was... a cheap poker move!
It seems to work, for a first test it is conclusive.
I opened my console, removed the original card, replaced it with the new card without connecting the antennas. I removed the top cover and placed the modern Controller physically in contact with the card.I put the modern controller at a 45° angle to the left console angle, and it works.
It synchronize in bluetooth with Batocera 30 (detect, synch, manual conf, profil OK) and the AtariOS normally detect contoller.
I move in the menus and everything seems OK, provided to leave the controller in contact with the card.So I am very optimistic for my laptop, I will see in the next days.

Hello,
Here is linux distrbution Ubuntu Gamepack with Steam integrated in the meantime

I still haven't received the mentioned Wifi card at moment. Amazon saids before Sunday.
I hope it will be soon. I'm not even sure if it will work, it's a 7€ (shipping included) poker move, raison of delay.
I'll let you know as soon as I get it if the bluetooth works with the controllers.-

I assume I need to add a line to the "loader.cfg" file like:
add_os_if_exists /efi/batocera/${grub}.efi "Batocera" batocera
But I tried that, and it doesn't show up. It appears Batocera EFI is located in /boot/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efiI have never test Grub with Batocera.
I use rEFInd when I desactivate Enforce Secure boot, better graphic icons)
Maybe, this tryadd_os_if_exists /EFI/BOOT/${grub}.efi "Batocera" batocera

Thanks a lot! I’m almost there. Zaxxon will load but other games give me the green screen I haven’t seen since 1985 when our Atari 600XL refused to boot up anymore and we had to send it for repair which took three months. ? Any more tips?

Thanks for the help. I managed to install Batocera, even put the Zaxxon-file in the right folder, but still need an Atari OS? And whenever I find that, do I just put that in the same folder?
In Batocera "share" partition you got two importants folders
"bios" folder where you have to place (copy) the bios for supported emulator/console
"roms" folder where you place yours roms in corresponding emulator/console folders
Note: In bios folder, find readme.txt that explain for example what you need for Atari 800 bios
Atari 5200 / Atari 800:
281f20ea4320404ec820fb7ec0693b38 bios/5200.rom
06daac977823773a3eea3422fd26a703 bios/ATARIXL.ROM
0bac0c6a50104045d902df4503a4c30b bios/ATARIBAS.ROM
eb1f32f5d9f382db1bbfb8d7f9cb343a bios/ATARIOSA.ROM
a3e8d617c95d08031fe1b20d541434b2 bios/ATARIOSB.ROMYou could easely find bios on Web with google given MD5 checksum
I wish you a good game

Really easy to do, just require an USB disk, prefered SSD
Download x64 version here https://batocera.org/download
Use Balena etcher in 3 steps. https://www.balena.io/etcher/
1/ Indicate batocera image file path you just downloaded
2/ Indicate your USB disk path (All disk will be format, data lose)
3/ Star flash and wait to succefull
When done, plug USB disk, start console, wait Batocera finilise install and start
Well done
Most important, Batocera need to desactivate Enforce secure boot in BIOS (UEFI) to let run

Hello,
I just tested quickly the Atari 800 emulator on Batocera to see what Zaxxon looked like. The name sounded in my mind, but I couldn't find it. It was in fact my older brother who played it on Mattel Intellivision.
I got a ROM to test here The game starts and the "modern controller" is well recognized on USB. There is no reason why the "classic joystick" should not be recognized as well.-

Windows 11 compatibility on Atari VCS 800
in VCS PC-Mode Discussion
Posted
Hello, @justclaws @Keatah @joeatari1 @Atari_JaguarVCS @marss @SabertoothRetro
For your information, it is still possible to install Windows 11 with a local account, so you don't have to log in with a Microsoft account. This works with all Windows editions.
To do this, disconnect the network cable from the console before launching the installation.
During the installation when you will be asked to connect to the Wifi, at this moment use the keyboard shortcut Alt+F4, accept the contract, and you will have access to the creation of your local account.
